He proceeds in the description of Christ's coming to judgment;16. and gives various instructions; 23. and so concludes the epistle. Now about the times and seasons The phrase "times and seasons" in Greek is "chronos" and "kairos." "Chronos" refers to chronological or sequential time, the kind of time that can be measured in minutes, hours, and days. "Kairos," on the other hand, refers to the right or opportune moment, a time that is significant or decisive. In the context of 1 Thessalonians, Paul is addressing the Thessalonian church's concerns about the timing of the Lord's return. Historically, this reflects the early Christian anticipation of Christ's imminent return, a hope that was fervent and urgent. Theologically, it reminds believers that while chronological time is in God's hands, they should be attentive to the spiritual significance of the present moment, living in readiness and faithfulness. brothers we do not need to write to you (1) But of the times.--The fourth subject of instruction; the bearing of the doctrine of the Advent upon the Christian's own life. "Times and seasons" is a Hebraism, and in the original, the second word, not the first, is the more explicit: we should say, "About day and hour." The plural seems to mean the different periods at which men might conceive the Advent likely to come. Ye have no need.--The next verse shows that this paragraph is not so much intended for an answer to a false theory about the time of the Advent, as practically to cure the restlessness common at Thessalonica. Verse 1. - This verse is connected with what precedes. The apostle was comforting the Thessalonians under the loss of their deceased friends by the assurance that both the living and the dead would be gathered together at the advent. The question would naturally arise, "When shall these things be?" (Luke 21:7); and it would appear that the Thessalonians expected an immediate advent. The apostle represses their curiosity on this point by reminding them of the uncertainty of the time of the Lord's coming. But of the times and the seasons, brethren; that is, of the time and the precise period of the Lord's advent. "Times" and "seasons" are elsewhere united together (Ecclesiastes 3; Daniel 2:21; Acts 1:7). The word translated "times" denotes time absolutely without regard to circumstances; and the word rendered "seasons" denotes a definite point of time; not merely the day, but the hour (Mark 13:32). Ye have no need that I write unto you; literally, that ought be written unto you (R.V.); comp. 1 Thessalonians 4:9. The reason why it was not needful for the apostle to write unto them was, not because he regarded the information unprofitable or superfluous, or because he knew it to be impossible, but because he had already informed them when at Thessalonica that the time of the advent was beyond the sphere of his teaching. The apostle mentions this to repress that vain curiosity which is natural to man, and which was the occasion of so much disorder among the Thessalonians. Our duty is, not to pry into the times and seasons which the Father hath put in his own power (Acts 1:7), but to exercise constant watchfulness.Parallel Commentaries ...
