I was not acknowledging your point.
Well, it's certainly the first time you've bothered mentioning it.
What? Is it like a pride thing with you, to not even acknowledge what others say? You're proud of not hearing anything you don't like?
All of us to some degree have things we need to endure and persevere with.
And not all unbelievers, to any degree, desire nor care enough to persecute and trouble others, whether religious or not.
Your view of all unbelievers thinking of ways to do harm to others, especially Christians, is dystopian, and is the same attitude of the Pharisees, that slew the Lord, because He wasn't like them.
Guess what. Most believers just want to be left alone to live their own lives as best they can, and God gives them that right, and will judge them at the last day. But in the meantime, the Lord Himself and His resurrected saints, will be personally ministering to such as them during His earthly reign.
And I also wouldn't want someone with your spirit knocking on my door.
This love of wrath of yours is not healthy.
The GWT is Gods righteous judgment, All will be there to receive their eternal resting place good or bad.
True, when the thousand years of the Lord's reign have expired, and after the old heaven and earth flee away from God's face.
Paul is saying this final eternal judgment takes place when the Lord comes to glorify us.
That is the second coming which is after the millennium.
Nope.
For after all it is only just for God to repay with distress those who distress you,
True, The Lord will come again to receive His own unto Himself, and then first destroy them going out of their way to Armageddon, to continue making war with Him and His saints.
Then He will move on to executing the goats left alive, and then go on to ruling them neighborly sheep still alive.
Someone simply not agreeing with us, is not 'distress'. That's just childish pettiness on our part.
Both your judgement that Jesus and His saints can't rule the whole earth in peace with true law and order, nor that there are any neighborly unbelievers on earth, is false.
At the resurrection of the rest of the dead, will all them not found in the Lamb's book of life, be cast into the LOF, and those abundance of souls harvested during His reign, will be found in His book, and join His glorified saints bodily resurrected in the first resurrection one thousand years before.
The first resurrection at His coming again, is all saints, and the next resurrection of the rest of the dead, is part saints, and part wicked:
...and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
