Grace for your spirit
Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. I Thessalonians 5:1-2
The Apostle Paul wrote letters to people who were consumed with the thought of Christ’s return. Some thought He had already returned and they missed it. Some though He had already returned and this was their punishment for missing Him. Others thought He would be here right away, so doing nothing would be appropriate. Paul told them to stop figuring and stop fretting, and get busy in the work of the Lord. Since then, many have consumed themselves trying to calculate the Lord’s. return date. Here was Paul’s advice; Stop it. It will be like a thief in the night. In other words, you won’t know it until it happens. Jesus doesn’t know the date, and you won’t either. Once last clue; the day you think…..that’s wrong!!
Philippians 4:23
