The Judgment at Christ's Coming

This is (A)evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be (B)considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— since indeed God considers it (C)just (D)to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to grant (E)relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when (F)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven (G)with his mighty angels (H)in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those (I)who do not know God and on those who (J)do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will suffer the punishment of (K)eternal destruction, (L)away from[a] the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, 10 (M)when he comes on (N)that day (O)to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our (P)testimony to you (Q)was believed.

  1. Daniel 12:3 Hebrew the expanse; compare Genesis 1:6–8

17 If this be so, (A)our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.[a] 18 But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was (B)filled with fury, and the expression of his face (C)was changed against (D)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was usually heated. 20 And he ordered some of the mighty men of his army (E)to bind (F)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21 Then these men were (G)bound in their cloaks, their tunics,[b] their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the burning fiery furnace. 22 Because the king's order was (H)urgent and the furnace overheated, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up (I)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell (J)bound into the burning fiery furnace.

24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was (K)astonished and rose up (L)in haste. He declared to his (M)counselors, “Did we not cast three men (N)bound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” 25 He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, (O)walking in the midst of the fire, and they (P)are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like (Q)a son of the gods.”

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, (R)“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the (S)Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then (T)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire.
