He declared that Christ would come a second time in power and great glory, and establish his kingdom upon the earth, subduing all authority, and ruling over all nations. Paul was an Adventist; he presented the important event of the second coming of Christ with such power and reasoning that a deep impression, which never wore away, was made upon the minds of the Thessalonians.{LP 83.2}

Han erklærede at Kristus ville komme en anden gang i kraft og megen herlighed, og genoprette sit rige på jorden, lægge al myndighed under sig og herske over alle nationer. Paulus var en adventist; han frembragte den betydningsfulde begivenhed om Kristi andet komme med en sådan kraft og fornuft at det gjorde et dybt indtryk på tessalonikerne, at det aldrig kunne udslettes.
