>>> 2 Thessalonians was written in response to the fears of the church when they read the first letter.
How do we know this?
Also... note a key operative phrase in your reference: “as if from us,” suggests to me that the source could be any reputable person.
The way I see it is simple:
The seals are clearly during the tribulation period when a THIRD of the earth’s population is WIPED OUT.
That has NOT happened yet.
Also, I know we are not in the tribulation because I’m still here... and I know that the Holy Spirit is still here...
And Israel has NOT signed a seven year peace agreement with anyone.
Do not be deceived... We Aint seen NOTHIN yet!
I’m a post-tribber living day to day.
