Two Signs Precede the End
To calm fears that the Day of the Lord had already begun, Paul gives two clear signs that must happen first. Commentators stress that these are prerequisites: 1) a great 'falling away' or apostasy from the faith, and 2) the public revealing of a powerful figure called 'the man of sin.' The absence of these events meant the end was not yet imminent.
