1 THESSALONIANS 1:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.”
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead — Jesus who rescues us from the coming wrath — the stance of the church is eschatological vigilance, anticipation of the parousia (appearing) of the risen Lord. Jesus' resurrection is the guarantee of their own resurrection and rescue; it is he who will snatch them (rhyomai) from God's future judgment. The gospel of comfort is inseparable from the gospel of coming judgment.
