in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
2 Thessalonians 1:8, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Paul writes to a young church under real persecution, and verse 8 describes the moment Christ is revealed from heaven with his angels. The blazing fire and vengeance are imagery drawn from Old Testament pictures of God's judgment, and the verse names two groups: those who do not know God and those who do not obey the gospel.
