and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead-- Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
Who delivereth us from the wrath to come ...  This is a reference to the judgment of the Great Day, and the "wrath of God that falls upon the sons of disobedience"  (Ephesians 5:6).  Other passages bearing on this are  Romans 1:18,28,32;  Romans 2:8,9;  Ephesians 2:3 and  Colossians 3:6.  God has a score to settle with sin, and a day has been appointed in which he will judge the world in righteousness, "by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all people, in that he hath raised him from the dead" (Acts 17:31).  Amen!
