You seem to believe that it will be necessary to "dodge flaming darts" I certainly don't.
Just why you think The Lord God will be delivering vengeance on the saints instead of his enemies or that the resurrected
saints would need to dodge darts is anybody's guess.
I've posted that verse numerous times precisely because I do pay close attention to it. It seems to me that you have not.
I don't why you are unable to believe that Almighty God can simultaneously rescue his own people and exact vengence on his enemy. Perhaps you should go back & read Exodus again. Absorb it's lessons. Jesus' return is described in The Prophets numerous times
as simultaneous terror and splendour. The unrighteous cannot stand in his presence but he is glorious to us. You should know these things.
The highly visible second coming of Jesus Christ is what we are looking for next, that is the time we will be given relief.
His glory is paramount in our Bible. When he comes we won't be retreating.
2 Thess 1
5 All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. 6 God is just: he will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might 10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marvelled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.
