And I will execute vengeance in anger, and fury upon the Heathen, etc.] Or “nations”f182; not the Pagan nations only, but the Papal and Mahometan ones, even all that are enemies to Christ, and his church and people: such as they have not heard; such terrible judgments, and dreadful expressions of divine wrath and fury, by earthquakes, hailstones, etc. as were never known or heard of in the world before; (see <661618>Revelation 16:18-21); or, “which have not heard”f183; the people that have not heard and hearkened to the word of God, to the voice of Christ in the Gospel, but have turned a deaf ear to it, and despised it. So the Targum, “who have not received the doctrine of the law;” but it is much more agreeable to understand it of the doctrine of the Gospel disobeyed by men, and therefore justly punished; (see <530108>2 Thessalonians 1:8,9).
