Question: Does not 2 Thess. 1:77And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, (2 Thessalonians 1:7) appear to teach that the saints do not enter into rest until the Lord is revealed from heaven taking vengeance on them that know not God, and 1 John 187Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. (John 18:7), that they will be here with the Antichrist?
Answer: 2 Thess. 1 speaks solely of publicly awarded rest and tribulation when Jesus is revealed. Nobody thinks either can be till Jesus appears. A previous translation is no more a difficulty for the saints caught up to heaven than a previous tribulation for Jews and Gentiles on earth. Nor does 1 John 18 hint that those addressed would be on earth when Antichrist comes, but affirms many antichrists now as an evidence of that coming man of sin, and no more.
