Mat 13:49, 21:44, 25:30, 2Th 1:8-10 | PNT | STEP | So shall it be at the end of the world . Then, not men, but the angels, under the direction of the Son of Man, shall sever the wicked from the just.

Matthew 13:49

So shall it be at the end of the world. Then, not men, but the angels, under the direction of the Son of Man, shall sever the wicked from the just.

Matthew 21:44

Whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken. Two fates are named for opposers in this verse: (1) those who fall on the stone shall be broken; (2) those on whom the stone shall fall shall be ground to powder. While the principle is general, the special application is to the Jewish opposers. Their "falling upon" the Stone (Christ) was the ruin of their nation. When the Stone "fell upon them", in the judgment he had predicted because they rejected him, they were ground to powder in the awful desolation that occurred about thirty-seven years later.

Matthew 25:30

Cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness. A state of banishment from the presence of the Lord. Have you a trust from the Lord? Are you useful to him according to your ability?

2 Thessalonians 1:8-10

In flaming fire. The flaming fire denotes brightness, glory, purity, and also destruction to adversaries. Dazzling brightness is always associated with his coming. God was revealed at Sinai in flaming fire (Ex 3:2; 19:18).

Them that know not God. Know him not because they refuse to know him. See Ro 1:28.

And obey not the gospel. This class refuse to accept and obey the gospel. Their day of grace will end with the day of the Lord. Who shall be punished. Those who obey not the gospel shall be punished. The punishment is everlasting destruction. This does not mean annihilation, but an eternal banishment from the presence of the Lord. In Matthew, the doom of the wicked is "Depart from me" (Mt 25:41). The saints are "ever with the Lord" (1Th 4:17); the wicked are driven forever from his presence. When he shall come. These final judgments shall be when he comes to be glorified in his saints. The saints risen, glorious, rejoicing in salvation, shall be a glory of the Lord.

And to be admired by all them that believe. All believers will look upon him with wonder and admiration.
