Paul also prayed that the Lord, not Prayer of Manasseh , would cause the believers" love to increase and overflow even more among themselves and toward all people. Paul"s love for them did so. He prayed for this so God would strengthen them spiritually to be free from any reasonable charge whenever Christ might return. "Hearts" refers to what we might refer to as "personalities" today. The Greek word, kardia, "refers to the thinking, willing, and feeling dimensions of human existence." [1] Again, Paul anticipated the judgment seat of Christ (cf. 1 Thessalonians 2:19; 1 Thessalonians 5:23). [source][source][source]
As mentioned earlier (cf. 1 Thessalonians 2:19), "coming" (Gr. parousia) is a term that Paul used to describe a person"s extended visit (cf. 1 Corinthians 16:17; 2 Corinthians 10:10; Philippians 2:12) as well as his or her arrival for that visit. Consequently, it may refer to the Rapture, the actual arrival of Christ for Christians, or what will follow that arrival. The context determines whether a "coming" or what will follow it is in view. [2] Here Paul"s concern was that the Thessalonians would be ready to give a good account of themselves to the Lord, not just that they would be ready for His arrival. [source][source][source]
The saints who will join the Thessalonians before the judgment seat of Christ include all other Christians (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:10; 2 Thessalonians 1:10) and perhaps angels. [source][source][source]
