B. God’s Judgment on the World

B3

There is no new information here; the idea is repeated that 1) Jesus will return from heaven; 2) He will deliver us from the wrath to come. What wrath is being referred to?

First Epistle to the Thessalonians

Chapter 1

⁹ For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, ¹⁰ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
