Judgement - 2Th. 1:7-9

"He will come with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, bringing judgement on those who don't know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction, forever separated from the Lord and his glorious power when he comes to receive glory and praise from his holy people." 2Th 1:7-9

I take this literally. When the Lord comes again, it will be an overwhelmingly awesome sight for all the world to see. This world will likely be devoid of any Christians, and this event will be an ominous one as those remaining realize that they were wrong--that there actually IS a God of the universe. And worse, that it is too late to change. A time of celebration for his holy people, a time of judgement for everyone else.

Lord, thank you for choosing to bring salvation to me.
