Question: What is the difference between Paul’s letters to other Churches and his letters to Thessalonian believers?
Paul wrote 2Thessalonians in order to strengthen the faith of these members and to correct doctrinal misunderstandings, regarding the Anti-Christ as is shown in 2Thess. 2:1-12.
At that time of writing (approx. 53-54 AD), Paul’s major effort was with the “Jews first”; which after Acts 28:28 changed to “Gentile first”, in approx. 63 AD. The reason for the change of priority was due to the activation of the Isa. 6:9-10 prophecy; which puts much Jewish prophecy into abeyance until Zech. 12:10, and was due to the Jewish rejection of Christ Jesus as their Messiah!
At Acts 28:25–28, he (Paul) actioned the prophecy of Isaiah 6:9–10, which placed Israel in the position of Lo-Ammi (not My people), and the Gospel was primarily directed at the Gentiles from then onwards, and is still the case, and will remain so until the prophecy of Roman’s 9:25–33, and Roman’s 11:25–27 are completed!
When Paul activated the prophecy of Acts 28 (Isaiah 6:9–10) in AD 63; a new Dispensation started, and his teachings were from then onwards based on his last 7 letters!
Those Letters are Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Titus, Philemon and 1&2 Timothy. These are the ones pertinent to this “Age Time”, and run from AD 63 to the Lord’s return, after the time of Jacob’s trouble!
All the Books from the beginning of the Bible to AD 63 are contextual, for the very necessary knowledge of God’s planning etc. but as the Jews are in the “Lo-Ammi state” (Hos.1&2); they are not being dealt with directly by God (but are in a state of preservation) until the prophecies in Old and New Testament regarding God’s Direct Intervention comes into play!
Very few of today's Christendom’s teachers, preachers are aware of the errors they speak from the pulpits, which makes it very hard for devout people to try to tie together what is not applicable for Christian’s and what is applicable to Jews eventually, when Zech.12:10 is reached!
