"And they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God's Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment."
If you look around at what's happening in the world and you read biblical prophecy, it's easy to become scared. This verse is the antidote. We may not know exactly how or when, but we who trust in Jesus' death and resurrection believe that he will come again. Two future events are described here: coming judgment and Jesus return to earth. What's past is that God has already rescued us from the terrors of coming judgment. We have no need to fear, whatever happens! Judgment is future tense, but rescue is past tense—already accomplished!
