"Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know."--Job
Cats,
Seriously, no sooner did I get off the computer after writing my last blog and the Lord placed his Word before me. I did not seek this passage out by doing a word search on "justice". It just so happened that 2 Thessalonians 1:11 was next on my list of passages to read on the topic of prayer. Providentially, this passage (1:6-10) was right before and I read it to get the context of 1:11. Could God work anymore immediate and bold? I find myself as humbled as Job.
"God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power on the day he comes to be glorified in the holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed."
