TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

“He Will Come”

Jesus promised his followers that he would return so that he could bring them to be with him forever (John 14:1-3). Immediately after Jesus ascended to heaven, the apostles received a message that he would someday come back (Acts 1:9-11). And in the visions that are recounted in the book of Revelation, John again hears from Jesus the promise of his return (22:6-20).

This final consummation of all things—the “day of the Lord” (2:2)—will come when least expected, like “a thief in the night” (1 Thes 5:2). Only the Father knows when that day will be (Matt 24:36; Acts 1:6-7). The present is not a time for speculation but for hope and confidence. Setting dates and times is not the way Christians should approach questions about the end. Scripture teaches about final things (eschatology) to give hope in the midst of trouble and perspective on present life and conduct. Hence, though Paul lays out certain events that will precede the day of the Lord, such as apostasy and the appearance of the man of lawlessness (2 Thes 2:1-12), the details are not the focus of his attention. Rather, he reminds his audience of these events (2 Thes 2:5) in order to refute false teaching and to encourage believers who are facing persecution (2 Thes 1:3-10).

When Christ comes, he will destroy the enemies of the Good News, rescue persecuted believers (2 Thes 1:7-10), and gather his followers to be with him for eternity (1 Thes 4:13-17). This future event calls for a present response. Those who receive the Good News and live for God can have confidence of rescue. Those who reject God will experience everlasting destruction. God’s choosing and calling of believers is their hope and comfort (2:13-14). They can stand firm in the present as they face the future (2:14-15), knowing what will be the outcome when he comes.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διδόντος ἐκδίκησιν τοῖς

giving vengeance ˱on˲_the_‹ones›

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind vengeance, you can express this idea in another way. Since this is part of God’s justice, do not use a word that implies that God is doing something illegal or inappropriate. Alternate translation: [punishing the people] or [judging the ones]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς μὴ εἰδόσι Θεὸν

˱on˲_the_‹ones› not /having/_known God

Here, the ones not having known God refers to those who have refused the relationship with God that he had offered to them. Alternate translation: [on those who did not want to know God] or [on those who have rejected God]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ τοῖς μὴ ὑπακούουσιν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ

and ˱on˲_the_‹ones› not submitting ˱to˲_the gospel

The phrase, not obeying the gospel could refer to: (1) the same people as those not having known God. Alternate translation: [and who are not obeying the gospel] (2) a separate group. Alternate translation: [and also on those who are not obeying the gospel]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὑπακούουσιν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ

submitting ˱to˲_the gospel

The phrase, obeying the gospel is an idiom that means to live according to everything that God tells us in the gospel message. Alternate translation: [living according to the message of the gospel] or [heeding the admonitions that are part of the gospel message]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ

˱to˲_the gospel ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus

Here, Paul is using the general possessive form of our Lord Jesus to describe the gospel. The specific meaning here is that the gospel is about Jesus. Alternate translation: [the gospel that is about our Lord Jesus] or [the gospel message that tells us about our Lord Jesus]
