This phrase speaks to the promise of divine relief and justice for believers who are suffering persecution. The Thessalonian church faced significant oppression from both Jewish and Gentile communities, as seen in <a href="/acts/17-5.htm">Acts 17:5-9</a>. The promise of relief is not just for the Thessalonians but extends to all believers, including Paul and his companions, who also faced hardships for their faith. This assurance of relief is a common theme in Scripture, echoing Jesus' words in <a href="/matthew/5-10.htm">Matthew 5:10-12</a>, where He blesses those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake. The relief mentioned here is both a present comfort and a future hope, pointing to the ultimate justice and peace that will be established at Christ's return.This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven The revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven is a central eschatological event in Christian theology. This phrase refers to the second coming of Christ, a future event when Jesus will return in glory and power. The imagery of Jesus being revealed from heaven aligns with other New Testament passages such as <a href="/matthew/24-30.htm">Matthew 24:30</a> and <a href="/revelation/1-7.htm">Revelation 1:7</a>, which describe His coming with visible and undeniable majesty. This revelation is not only a moment of vindication for believers but also a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/daniel/7-13.htm">Daniel 7:13-14</a>, where the Son of Man comes with the clouds of heaven. The return of Christ is a cornerstone of Christian hope, promising the establishment of God's kingdom and the final defeat of evil.with His mighty angels The presence of mighty angels accompanying Jesus at His return underscores the power and authority of this event. Angels are often depicted in Scripture as God's messengers and agents of His will, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/103-20.htm">Psalm 103:20</a> and <a href="/hebrews/1-14.htm">Hebrews 1:14</a>. Their role in the second coming highlights the cosmic significance of this moment, as they participate in executing divine judgment and gathering the elect, as described in <a href="/matthew/24-31.htm">Matthew 24:31</a>. The mention of "mighty" angels emphasizes their strength and the formidable nature of the heavenly host, reinforcing the idea that Christ's return will be a display of divine power and glory. This imagery serves to assure believers of the ultimate triumph of God's purposes and the protection and vindication of His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul,_silvanus,_and_timothy.htm">Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy</a> The authors of the letter to the Thessalonians, providing guidance and encouragement to the early church. 2. <a href="/topical/t/thessalonian_church.htm">Thessalonian Church</a> The recipients of the letter, a group of believers facing persecution and needing reassurance of their faith. 3. <a href="/topical/l/lord_jesus.htm">Lord Jesus</a> Central figure in the verse, whose future revelation is a source of hope and relief for believers. 4. <a href="/topical/m/mighty_angels.htm">Mighty Angels</a> Heavenly beings who accompany Jesus at His revelation, symbolizing divine power and authority. 5. <a href="/topical/r/revelation_from_heaven.htm">Revelation from Heaven</a> The future event when Jesus will return, bringing justice and relief to His followers.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/h/hope_in_persecution.htm">Hope in Persecution</a> Believers can find comfort in knowing that their current sufferings are temporary and that Jesus will bring ultimate relief and justice. <a href="/topical/t/the_certainty_of_christ's_return.htm">The Certainty of Christ's Return</a> The promise of Jesus' return is a foundational hope for Christians, encouraging them to remain steadfast in their faith despite trials. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_angels.htm">The Role of Angels</a> The presence of mighty angels at Jesus' return underscores the divine authority and power that will accompany this event, reminding believers of God's sovereignty. <a href="/topical/l/living_in_expectation.htm">Living in Expectation</a> Knowing that Jesus will return should motivate believers to live holy and faithful lives, preparing for the day of His revelation. <a href="/topical/e/encouragement_in_community.htm">Encouragement in Community</a> Just as Paul encouraged the Thessalonians, believers today should support and uplift one another, especially during times of persecution or hardship.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_2_thessalonians_1.htm">Top 10 Lessons from 2 Thessalonians 1</a> <a href="/q/who_or_what_is_the_antichrist.htm">Who or what is the Antichrist?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_the_study_of_mariology.htm">What is the study of Mariology?</a> <a href="/q/who_is_the_antichrist.htm">What is the identity of the antichrist?</a> <a href="/q/is_jesus_considered_a_pacifist.htm">Is Jesus considered a pacifist?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_thessalonians/1.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7) Rest with us.--Why "with us"? It shows sympathy in their present trials, for it implies that the writers themselves had earned or were earning (see <a href="/acts/18-12.htm" title="And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,">Acts 18:12</a>) that rest by the like trials. The word "rest" (or relaxation) is the opposite of the "strain" at which the persecution kept them. Such "rest" is not to be expected in its fulness till the judgment day.From heaven.--St. Paul seems to delight in calling attention to the quarter from which "the Lord Jesus" (the human name, to show His sympathy with trouble) will appear. (See <a href="/context/1_thessalonians/1-10.htm" title="And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.">1Thessalonians 1:10, 1Th_4:16</a>.)With his mighty angels.--Literally, with the angels of His power--i.e., the angels to whom His power is intrusted and by whom it is administered. The angels do not attend merely for pomp, but to execute God's purposes. (See <a href="/matthew/13-41.htm" title="The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;">Matthew 13:41</a>; <a href="/matthew/13-49.htm" title="So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,">Matthew 13:49</a>; <a href="/matthew/24-31.htm" title="And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.">Matthew 24:31</a>.) . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_thessalonians/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 7. - And to you who are troubled - afflicted - rest. The word "rest" here is a noun in the accusative, not a verb, as English readers might at the first glance suppose. It literally denotes relaxation, case. The meaning of the passage is that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense rest to you who are afflicted. The recompense of the persecutors - those who afflict, is affliction; the recompense of the persecuted - the afflicted, is rest (comp. <a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28, 29</a>). The rest or relaxation here mentioned is that which awaits believers, not in this world, but in the next, "where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest" (<a href="/job/3-17.htm">Job 3:17</a>). "There remaineth a rest for the people of God" (<a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9</a>). The happiness of heaven on its negative side, as freedom from earthly affliction and persecution, is here stated. It is rest to the weary, freedom to the enslaved, release from sorrow, suffering, and pain, relaxation from toil, ease from noise and turmoil, the quiet haven of peace after being tossed about in the tempestuous ocean. With us; that is, not with us believers in general, or with us the apostles, the champions of the faith, and still less with us Jews, the saints of israel; but with us, the writers of this Epistle, namely, Paul and Silas and Timothy. When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed; or, more literally, at the revelation or apocalypse of the Lord Jesus. The advent of Christ is generally expressed by another word, parousia, denoting "presence;" here the word is apocalypse, bringing before us in a more vivid manner the visible manifestation of Christ. The advent of Christ is the period when he who has hitherto been concealed will be manifested as the supreme Ruler and Judge of the world. From heaven; where now he is concealed from human view, seated at the right hand of God. With his mighty angels; not with his host of angels, but, as it is in the margin of our Bibles, "with the angels of his power" - serving his power and proclaiming his might. It is the uniform declaration of Scripture that Christ will come to judgment attended by his holy angels (<a href="/matthew/16-27.htm">Matthew 16:27</a>; <a href="/matthew/24-31.htm">Matthew 24:31</a>; <a href="/jude/1-14.htm">Jude 1:14</a>). And these angels are "the angels of his power," sent forth to execute his commands. By their instrumentality the dead shall be called from their graves, and the wicked separated from among the just (<a href="/1_thessalonians/4-16.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:16</a>; <a href="/matthew/13-49.htm">Matthew 13:49</a>). <a href="/commentaries/2_thessalonians/1-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>and καὶ (kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely. to grant relief ἄνεσιν (anesin) Noun - Accusative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_425.htm">Strong's 425: </a> Relief, remission, indulgence, freedom, rest.
