For those following along with this thread... a question:
Besides being "shaken [G4531] in mind"...
--"to move or agitate the mind, to disturb one:τινα ἀπό τοῦ νως, so as to throw him out of his sober and natural mental state (Buttmann, 322 (277)), 2 Thessalonians 2:2"
...and "troubled [G2360]"...
--"throéō (from throos, "clamor, tumult") – properly, unsettled (thrown into confusion, WS, 953); (figuratively) troubled (disturbed), wanting to "cry aloud, to scream (passive) because terrified" (WP, 1, 189); thrown into an "emotional uproar," i.e. very upset (alarmed, startled)."
... what kind of picture would be brought to your mind (as to, what has taken place) if someone were to say [/ purport] (even perhaps by a letter, say, lost records as being from Paul): "that THE DAY OF THE LORD is present [perfect indicative; 'perfect' tense, meaning, 'Action completed at a specific point of time IN PAST, with results CONTINUING into the PRESENT']"
... IOW, what would you think has taken place (according to said "claim" 2:2 [false claim Paul is referencing and addressing])?
Because... I find that misapprehending what it is this "false claim" is referring to, sets one off on the wrong trail, when grasping what Paul is actually conveying in this passage
