Well, since the Scriptures I posted reveals what you did, there is no way to interpret what I wrote to be what you have done with your 'pick n' choosing' select Scriptures from The Bible. The goal of what you are doing is trying to enforce a doctrine of man with it.
Just remember, IF... there exists other Bible Scripture that covers more detail of an event that you miss, as I showed in your case, then it means to back up and reconsider what God's Word is actually teaching on the subject.
And really in today's time there is no excuse because the Bible study tools are out there to do Bible cross-reference study making it easy to gather all available Scripture about a Bible topic. And that is something God did in His Word, He scattered details about a topic in many different Bible books throughout His Word, no doubt to see if we would actually study all of it.
Lol, there is no excuse.
Deal with the scripture I commented on.... and backed up with those others.
Cady and Zoe said,
II Thessalonians 1:7-10 -- Absent is any kind of hint that the Lord's vengeance is ubiquitous. Paul has not focused on everyone; he has directed his focus on "those who afflict you." The judgment is limited to those who are guilty of persecuting Christians.
You have got to be kidding.
I have Bolded the hints...,

This is a positive proof of
the righteous judgment of God [a sign of His fair verdict], so that you will be considered worthy of His kingdom, for which indeed you are suffering. 6 For after all it is
only just for God to repay with distress those who distress you, 7 and to
give relief to you who are so distressed and to us as well
when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in a flame of fire, 8 dealing out [full and complete] vengeance to those who do not [seek to] know God and to those who ignore and refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus [by choosing not to respond to Him].
9 These people will pay the penalty and endure the punishment of everlasting destruction, banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day [that is, glorified through the changed lives of those who have accepted Him as Savior and have been set apart for His purpose], and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed
and trusted [and confirmed in your lives].
God has reserved a day for his final righteous judgment that will deal out full and complete and EVERLASTING destruction on the ungodly.
Those deemed righteous inherit everything on this day
Act 17
0 Therefore God overlooked
and disregarded the
former ages of ignorance;
but now He commands all
people everywhere to repent [that is, to change their old way of thinking, to regret their past sins, and to seek God’s purpose for their lives],
31 because He has set a day when He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed and destined for that task, and He has provided credible proof to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”
2Pet 3
7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire,
being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people.
