Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ![]() “Remember therefore how you have received and heard hold fast and repent.” (Revelation 3:3) We need to remain faithful to the Lord, all the days and moments of our lives. We can’t say, we didn’t know or we weren’t expecting. His coming may be unexpected, but we have a responsibility no matter when He comes. We have a blessed hope, the hope of eternal life. Hope is worked out in our lives by patience, perseverance and remaining faithful to what we believe. It is written, so we can be assured that it will happen. The actual time of the coming of Jesus Christ is never recorded in the Bible.īut that doesn’t mean its a fable or a lost cause. We aren’t told how often or how long they will last before His coming. But those are all just signs of last days. Sure He gave us a lot of signs concerning the last days, wars, rumors of wars, famine, earthquakes. The use of this simile “as a thief in the night” is to express the unannounced coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Even with safety alarms, night time is preferred since its unexpected and unnoticed, not that I’m giving any pointers to wannabe burglars. “But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.” (Matthew 24:43) They didn’t have safety alarms back then, so this was a good example to compare. And he prefers night to the day since that is when people in his targeted house, as well as their neighbors, will be fast asleep. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 1 Thessalonians 5:2Ī thief as we all know is never going to give notice of his coming.
