This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Th 1:9. Ἀπὸ, from) It is a judicial procedure from the Divine presence itself, that will inflict punishment upon them. מפני, from the face. Devils will not be the tormentors; for even in this life bad men are not punished by devils, but rather by good angels: and in Psa 78:49, the phrase, angels of (bringing) evil, may even denote good angels.[4] Exo 12:23; 2Sa 24:16.-ΠΡΟΣΏΠΟΥ, the face) This face will be intolerable to them; they shall not see it, but they shall be made to feel it. Face and glory are generally parallel.-ἰσχύος, of His might) Lay aside your fierceness (haughty confidence of ‘might’) ye wicked men!
[4] “He cast upon them the fierceness of His anger-by sending evil angels among them.” LXX. διʼ ἀγγέλων πονηρῶν.-ED.
