2 Thessalonians 1:8 — Community Reflections

2 THESSALONIANS 1:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1

“In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:”

In flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus — the judgment is vivid, apocalyptic: flaming fire (pyr phlogos) is the instrument of divine wrath. 'Those who do not know God' (mē eidotes ton theon) and 'those who do not obey the gospel' (mē hypakouontes tō euangelion) represent the full spectrum of human rebellion.
