GIVE RELIEF TO YOU / 2 THESSALONIANS 1:6-7

(KJV) 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; ⁷ And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

While God’s justice means punishment for those who stand against Him and cause trouble for His people, it means relief and reward for those who are faithful to Him. Both of these sides to God’s justice will be revealed when Christ returns. God will begin to repay the wicked (2 Thessalonians 1:6) at the beginning of the tribulation (when He unleashes His severe end-time judgments on the earth, Revelation 6). However, complete justice and punishment (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) will occur after the Lord Jesus returns to earth at the end of the time to destroy the wicked (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-12). Then will come their final judgment and eternal punishment (Revelation 20:11-15). But God’s faithful people will experience relief from the world’s punishment when He removes them from the earth. Then, when the Lord Jesus returns to earth to destroy the forces of evil and govern the human race for the last period of history, full justice will finally occur for all. While the wicked will be appropriately judged, Christ’s faithful followers will be fully proven to be righteous and true (Revelation 6:9-11; 19:14-15) and will reign with Him on earth. Their end will be to go on to the reward of living with Christ throughout eternity (Revelation 21).
