the Wrath to come. The reference is to Ma Matthew 1:4; Matthew 1:1. The coming of Messiah was always connected with judgment; which would have come to pass had the nation repented at the preaching of "them that heard Him" (Hebrews 2:3. Compare Matthew 22:4). The "times of refreshing", and "the restoration of all things" of Acts 3:19, would have followed. Hence 1Th 1:10. 1 Thessalonians 2:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:9. See notes there; and compare Matthew 10:23; Matthew 16:28; Matthew 24:34.Luke 21:22; Luke 21:23.Acts 28:25; Acts 28:28.
