⁶ God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you ⁷ 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. ⁸ He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. ⁹ They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might ¹⁰ on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. (2 Thessalonians 1)

When we see people doing wicked things, killing and destroying lives, we wish that their judgment by the Lord would be swift. But this is not what we read in the passage above. Indeed, God will judge the wicked, but not on the timetable that we would love. They will be punished at the end.

Please read 2 Thessalonians 1. And Listen.

May the Lord richly bless you!
