    INTRODUCTION TO 2 TIMOTHY (Part 4):

    IV. DATE OF THE LETTER:

    Paul was arrested again sometime after 64 A.D. and condemned to death. During his second imprisonment, Paul wrote II Timothy and put a date in there. It's around 67 A.D., the year before Nero himself died.

    V. THE THEME OF II TIMOTHY:

    Pastoral Instruction. Paul presents principles and instructions that should prevail in a local church. It is the principles and instructions for the ministry in the church in the last days. And that would include us.

    VI. SECTION OUTLINE OF THE BOOK OF II TIMOTHY:

    II TIMOTHY CHAPTER 1 - The Power for Service

    II TIMOTHY CHAPTER 2 - The Pattern for Service

    And I find it interesting that Paul uses several types of people, soldiers, farmers, students, slaves, to show how a believer is to serve the Lord.

    II TIMOTHY CHAPTER 3 - The Perils of Service

    These are the perils or dangers of things that will come against the church in the last days.

    II TIMOTHY CHAPTER 4 - The People of Service

    Paul mentions over 20 people that he has had service with to say goodbye to them. He mentions things to them, but also leaves instructions. And you should know by now that every time Paul mentions somebody's name, it's not just to say hi, but he's got some teaching to go with it.

    I will share the introduction to Titus soon.

    God Bless!!!
