And by this you may understand the Apostles Expression, 2 Thess. 1.9. That the Wicked shall be punished with everlasting Destruction from the Presence of the Lord, and from the Glory of his Power. From there is as much as By; it doth not signify there, the kind of the Punishment, the poeni damni, but the Cause. The Majesty of Christ is the Cause of their Torments; and his Look and Face will be Terror enough to Sinners. And as he cometh in Glory, to shame and punish those that despised him; so to comfort and reward his People, who have trusted in him, and served him, and suffered for him: He shall come from Heaven in State, to lead them into those blessed Mansions with Honour. 1 Pet. 4.13. Rejoice, in as much as ye are Partakers of Christ's Sufferings; that when his Glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding Joy. They have seen him in his worst, and now in his best also. The Glory of Christ's Appearing is sometimes expressed by Fire, and sometimes by Light: To the Saints 'tis as Light, and as a comfortable Sun-shine; but to the Wicked 'tis a dreadful Fire, [Greek or Hebrew]. 2 Thess. 2.8. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of his Mouth, and shall destroy them with the Brightness of his Coming.
