1 Thessalonians 1:10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "wait", "heaven", "raised", "dead", "jesus", "rescues", "wrath", and "come". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "wait" and "heaven", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The prior verse says "For they themselves report about us what...", giving immediate footing for "wait" and "heaven". In 1 Thessalonians context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "wait" and "heaven" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
