Much the same could be said of 2 Thessalonians. All the apocalyptic turmoil that Paul prescribes is far from the end-vision of salvation and God’s redeeming justice. Despite what looks like eschatological chaos, the ultimate hope is harmony. Thus, Justice in 2 Thessalonians should be joined by his brother Peace.74 Paul’s ultimate interest in peace (eirēnē) is demonstrated in how he ends this letter: “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with all of you.” Peace is not only what will exist in the end, when the apocalyptic dust has settled. Believers can embody and live out lives of peace-making and peace-keeping now.75
