2 Thessalonians 1:9-10. from His presence and glory of His power

"These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed".

When Jesus answered the guard in the garden, "I am He", the guards were literally blown away, off their feet. Why? Because they were delivered onto them the living Word, Jesus Christ Himself. In the presence of the Lord, destruction will follow for those who have rejected Jesus. The word "everlasting" is striking, for it means, lasting forever; eternal, never coming to an end. "In that Day", is the day of judgment for the unbeliever. Not so for the one who has believed on the Lord of Lords, who will look upon in admiration on his savior for all eternity.
