Paul the apostle prophesied about the Second Coming:

...we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17)

Christians argue that Paul speaks about his own presence at the last day only hypothetically. They point out Paul later states the Day of the Lord comes like a thief () which is a word Jesus uses himself () expressing the impossibility of predicting His second coming ().

Paul prophesied in 1 Thessalonians 5:2-11: "For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, Peace and safety, destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape."

In , Paul prophesied that the Man of sin would sit in the temple of God declaring himself as God. The Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 CE.

There are different attempts to explain the term "to take his seat in the temple of God". Some understand it as a divine attribute which the man of lawlessness arrogates to himself and hence no conclusion can be drawn for time and place. Many in the early Church, such as Irenaeus, Hippolytus of Rome, Origen and Cyril of Jerusalem, believed a literal Temple would be rebuilt by the Antichrist before the Lord's Second Coming whereas Jerome and John Chrysostom referred the Temple to the Church.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=aogf2fT9UhoC&pg=PA141&dq=2+thessalonians+2:3+temple&lr= T. L. Frazier, A Second Look at the Second Coming, Conciliar Press Ministries, Inc., 2005, pages 141-142]</ref> Also some today's scholars refer the phrase "God's temple" to the Church pointing out that Paul used this term five other times outside 2 Thessalonians and does not refer it to a literal temple.

1 Timothy 4:1-3 says "in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth".

The church fathers like St. Chrysostom who lived at the time of Gnostics, the Marcionites, the Encratites, the Manicheans, who rejected Christian marriage and meat-eating because they believed that all flesh was from an evil principle, asserted this text referred to such sects and that they were therefore "in the latter times".English (Douay-Rheims) The Protestant theologian John Gill believed that this refers to the Canon law of the Roman Catholic Church, particularly priestly celibacy and Lent as promulgated by the medieval church. (see Great Apostasy)

Paul wrote in Romans 13:11-12: "...our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here."

Many Christian scholars believe the verses 11-14 refer to the era of salvation beginning with Christ's resurrection and its coming fulfillment on the last day. Thus, they think that the claim Paul makes here about salvation is a claim every Christian and not only Paul in his time can affirm. Some see this verse as indicating that there are no prophesied or salvation events before the Lord comes. Those holding the belief that Paul has a longer timespan in view point to its context after Romans 11, which describes the repentance of all of Israel in future. They also point to Paul's plan to visit Rome and more wester places in Romans 15 as indicating that he did not believe Christ's return would be soon enough to simply wait for it.
