This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
Ver. 7. Rest with us] As Noah’s ark, after much tossing, rested upon the mountains of Ararat; as the ark of the covenant, formerly transportative, was at length settled in Solomon’s temple. The word áíåóéí here used properly signifieth remission and relaxation from hard labour, Rev_14:13; "they rest from their labours." And as the sleep of a labouring man is sweet, so here.
With his mighty angels] Oh, what a glorious day must that needs be, when so many glorious suns shall shine at once; the Lord Christ outshining them all, velut inter ignes luna minores! he will not leave one angel in heaven behind him, Mar_8:38.
