This verse shows both the certainty of Christ's coming and the uncertainty of when he will come. There is one coming, not two, three, seven or more. The purpose of his coming is two-fold. [1] "To be glorified with his saints." Christ will be glorified when all the faithful saints are gathered together in glorified bodies. [2] "To be marvelled at." All will marvel (surprise mingled with admiration) at his demonstration of love, grace, power, and wisdom. All the bellievers will marvel in that day. "In that day" indicates - - [1] The day is singular. [2] A day of punishment for those who know not God and those that do not obey the gospel. [3] A day of victory for the faithful.
