What Does 2 Thessalonians 1:10 Mean On the day He comes• Scripture speaks of a specific, future moment when Jesus returns in visible power: “This Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go” (Acts 1:11). • Paul calls it “the day of the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 5:2), a real, calendar day God has already set (Acts 17:31). • It is a day of both relief and retribution (2 Thessalonians 1:7–9), when every promise of His appearing—Matthew 24:30; Revelation 19:11–16—comes to pass. To be glorified in His saints • Christ’s glory will radiate through those He has redeemed: “When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory” (Colossians 3:4). • Believers are not passive spectators; we are the canvas on which His splendor is displayed (Ephesians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 3:18). • Our present sufferings prepare us for that unveiling, “that we may also be glorified with Him” (Romans 8:17). And regarded with wonder by all who have believed • Every follower of Jesus will stand in awe, overwhelmed by His majesty—“Though you have not seen Him, you love Him… you are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy” (1 Peter 1:8). • The astonishment echoes the prophetic picture: “Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him” (Revelation 1:7); believers respond with worship, declaring, “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise” (Psalm 96:3–4). • This admiration fulfills Philippians 2:10–11: every knee bows, every tongue confesses—yet for the redeemed it is adoration, not dread. Including you who have believed our testimony • Paul personalizes the promise for the Thessalonians: they embraced the gospel he preached (Acts 17:1–4). • Their faith proves genuine: “When you received the word of God… you accepted it not as the word of men, but as the very word of God” (1 Thessalonians 2:13). • All who trust the apostolic message share the same destiny (John 17:20; Romans 10:17). The future vision is ours as surely as it was theirs. summary 2 Thessalonians 1:10 points to a definite future day when Jesus returns. On that day He will be glorified through His people, His beauty shining in and through us. Believers will marvel at Him with uncontainable joy, and everyone who has trusted the apostolic gospel—then and now—will participate in that breathtaking moment. (10) When he shall come.--Not simply a repetition of the temporal date which was mentioned in 2Thessalonians 1:7--"when the Lord," &c--but an introduction of the contrast which will be presented "in that day" by the spectacle of the glory of the saints. Thus the penalty of 2Thessalonians 1:9 is made to appear greater, while at the same time the readers' minds are turned back to a more wholesome subject for meditation.To be glorified in his saints.--This is not exactly the purpose, but the effect of His coming. A comparison of John 13:31-32; John 14:13; John 17:10; 2Thessalonians 1:12; shows that the saints are the objects on which and by which the glorious perfection of Christ is exhibited: to see what the saints will be exalted to "in that day" will make all observers acknowledge, not the holiness or greatness of the men, but the divine power of Him who was able so to exalt them. As the persecutors were divided into two classes to be punished, so the saved are described under two aspects: in contrast with "them that know not God" they are "saints," i.e., fully consecrated to God; in contrast with "them that obey not the gospel" they are "they that believed" (for the past tense is the better reading), i.e., accepted the gospel. As the profane Gentiles, looking on the saints, recognise the "glory" of the God whom they knew not, so the disobedient Jews, seeing the faithful, are aptly filled with "wonder" (Acts 13:41), before they perish, at the glory to be attained by obedience to the law of suffering. . . . Verse 10. - When; defining the period when this judgment of the wicked will occur. He; namely, the Lord Jesus. Shall come to be glorified; the purpose of his coming. In; not "through," or "among," but "in," as the sphere or element of his glory. His saints; not the holy angels who will accompany him to judgment, but holy men whom he has redeemed with his blood. Christ will be glorified in his saints, inasmuch as their glory was the result of his sufferings and death, and their holiness is the reflection of his holiness; "They will reflect as in a mirror the glory of the Lord." And to be admired; wondered at, praised. In all them that believe; or, believed. The work of faith is past; the result of faith, the state of sight and glory, has commenced. The glorification of believers will thus become the glorification of Christ. The glory of Christ does not arise from the punishment of the wicked, but from the glorification of believers. Christ will indeed be glorified in the punishment of the wicked. His justice will be manifested and vindicated; but his glory will be especially seen in the manifestation of his mercy toward believers. Because our testimony; namely, the testimony of Paul and his associates, Silas and Timothy. Among you; or rather, unto you. Was believed; to be considered as a parenthesis. In that day; namely, the day of the Lord's advent, to be connected with the commencement of the verse, "In that day when he shall come to be glorified in his saints." Some, overlooking the parenthesis, render the words either, "because our testimony concerning that day was believed among you;" or, "because our testimony among you shall be believed on that day" - assented to by the whole universe; but the first rendering gives a false meaning to the preposition, and the second a false construction to the verb, as if it were future.Parallel Commentaries ...
