2 Thessalonians 1:9

2 Thessalonians 1:9

7 and to give you who are troubled ^arest with us when ^bthe Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 ^aThese shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and ^bfrom the glory of His power,

10 when He comes, in that Day, ^ato be ^bglorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who¹ believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would ^acount you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and ^bthe work of faith with power,

12 ^athat the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Who—Greek, "persons who," etc.

destruction from the presence of the Lord—driven far from His presence [ALFORD]. The sentence emanating from Him in person, sitting as Judge [BENGEL], and driving them far from Him (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 6:16; Revelation 12:14; compare I Peter 3:12; Isaiah 2:10, Isaiah 2:19). "The presence of the Lord" is the source whence the sentence goes forth; "the glory of His power" is the instrument whereby the sentence is carried into execution [EDMUNDS]. But ALFORD better interprets the latter clause (see II Thessalonians 1:10), driven "from the manifestation of His power in the glorification of His saints." Cast out from the presence of the Lord is the idea at the root of eternal death, the law of evil left to its unrestricted working, without one counteracting influence of the presence of God, who is the source of all light and holiness (Isaiah 66:24; Mark 9:44).
