Trouble in Thessalonica - pre-amble

Followers of the Way were troubled by judaeisers,
who stirred up roughnecks to home crash and find these people
to bring them their "justice".
Paul writes from Corinth (~50AD) trying to clear up a few things
about the physical return of Jesus;
and the end to the temple worship in Jerusalem.
He gives advice on a perspective to deal with these troublers in 2Th1.

Tribulation (for revealing charis) is evidence that you are accepted in the opinion of Theos,
and you are right into the foundation of Theos.

Since you are accepted in Theos, He will add pressure to those who press you.

Also, you who are troubled, relax with us in Kurios Iesous revealed, separated from the region where clouds and tempests gather, with His doonamis aggelos (powerful message bringers).
With flashing fire, He gives forth of Himself, His justice to all parties, those who haven't experienced or seen Theos, and those that didn't listen to amazing news of the war finished by Kurios Iesous Christos.
These are recompensed with a time where their ills and troubles are destroyed.
