Paul is telling his Thessalonian buddies that God's wrath has come at last to the mean Jews (countrymen) nearby.
> **1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 ESV** For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things **from your own countrymen** as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. **But wrath has come upon them at last**! But since we were torn away from you blah blah blah...
What wrath? From who? From God? The story of Paul in Thessalonica in Acts 17 doesn't show any retribution towards the persecuting Jews. What is Paul talking about?
