Will the Lord come as a thief in the night to True Believers? Many pre-tribulation rapture believers say the Lord comes as a thief in the night, they say that means He could come at any minute. (1 Thes 5:1-3) v.2 tells us "the ((day of the Lord)) so cometh as a thief in the night." v.3 says "For when (THEY) shall say, Peace and safety; THEN SUDDEN DESTRUCTION COMETH UPON (THEM), as travail upon a woman with child; and (THEY) SHALL NOT ESCAPE. That day comes on THEM, (non-believers) as a thief in the night. The (day of the Lord) that comes upon (THEM) will be a day of destruction, a day of darkness. ( Isa 13:6-9) v.9 tells us "Behold, the (day of the LORD) cometh, cruel both with (wrath) and (fierce anger), to lay the land desolate: and he shall (destroy the sinners) thereof out of it. ( Isa 13:10-13) v11 Tells us "And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease,.." (This will be the wrath of God being poured out on all the disobedient non-believers who will be left on the earth) We are also told of this day in another book in the Old Testament. ( Zephaniah 1:14-17) v14 Tells us "The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly". v15 Tells us That day is a day of (wrath) a day of trouble, and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. These verses show the wrath of God coming the same day Jesus Christ comes in the clouds to gather together His elect. Paul calls that day "the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ", and "the day of Christ" in (2 Thes 2:1-2) He calls that day "the day of Jesus Christ" in ( Philippians 1:6) He calls it "the day of the Lord Jesus" in ( 2 Cor 1:14) The day of Christ (we) are gathered together in the clouds. the (day of the Lord) brings THEM wrath and comes as a thief in the night. Blessings.

Alex, I was the one who asked you to change back to Alex, if you wish. Thanks for the explanation.

Amen Jimbob....As a thief in the night to steal away our old birth right which was death...The soul that sinneth shall surely die and we all sin that was our old birth right....But under this NEW Covenant the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death... Romans 8:2 kjv....Jesus said i am the light of the world but the night comes when no man can work....We are in a time of darkness and JESUS HAS STOLEN OUR OLD BIRTH RIGHT WHICH WAS DEATH BY HIS BLOOD AT CALVARY....There was none righteous no not one we all sin thus our old birth right was death....The soul that sinner shall surly die....But the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death... Romans 8:2 kjv

Amen and Amen, Brother Nacol1900:

We are SAVED from DEATH by the blood of the LAMB.

We are BORN AGAIN by the WORD of GOD.

We (the wife of Christ) gave birth to a new creation, the promised "SEED" (child).

This was accomplished at HIS (and our) resurrection, revealed to us by the WORD.

1 Timothy 2:14 ....the woman (the wife of Christ) being DECEIVED was in the transgression.

1 Timothy 2:15 ....she (the wife of Christ) SHALL BE SAVED in childbearing .... giving birth to the promised SEED, the new creation .... this mystery .... Christ in us .....

We were made ONE by "Christ and ourselves" being RESURRECTED together ..... a new creation ... the same "SEED" .... the (living) WORD .... the written WORD is OUR WITNESS .... BELIEVE .....

You give BIRTH when you are raptured at the DEMISE of this FLESH.

DEATH is SWALLOWED up in VICTORY

I Corinthians 15:54 ...this mortal (flesh) shall PUT ON immortality (Christ) .....

1 Timothy 6:16 ...Christ ONLY hath IMMORTALITY ....dwelling in the light ....

God has blessed you with eyes that see and ears that hear.

Matthew 27:45....He was making a new covenant with his blood a TYPE OF that red pottage that Jacob used to steal Esaus birth right....Darkness covered the earth from the 6 hr. to the 9 th. hr....He was stealing our old birth right of DEATH BY HIS BLOOD THAT RED STUFF....That New Covenant in his blood .... Romans 8 :2 The spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death....That was the old covenant the soul that sinneth shall surely die..Ezech.But he came as a thief in the nite at Calvary to make a new Covenant with that red pottage ( his blood.) Matthew 27 :45....Our old covenant was death... the soul that sinneth shall surely die....But he died in our place thus he stole that curse and took it upon himself....I come as a thief in the nite..At Calvary....When he had taken the cup he said this is the new Covenant in my blood drink ye all of it....Esau ate all that Red pottage....And lived....But he lost his birth right which was death, the soul that sinneth shall surly die...But Jesus died in our stead....Darkness covered the earth from the 6 hr to the 9 th hr....Thats when he died for our sins making a new covenant in his blood...ok gbu Ruby....Thus Jesus stole our old birth right which was death....And it was at night....Darkness covered the earth from the 6 th hr to the 9 th hr...This is that manna that if man eats he will neva die...The New Covenant is that hidden manna....These things are hid from the wise and prudent but only revealed unto babes...The result of this N.C.is gonna result in everybody breaking out in birth pains...The Child is th H.G.

Amen and Amen, Pierre1939:

Were you born in 1939, if so your just a little older than myself? I'm a 40's child.

Yes, darkness was over the land from 6th to the 9th hour.

This literally was reality; and is still reality, that darkness has manifest itself even till NOW.

Christ is the LIFE of ALL MEN; though most are in darkness, they don't believe the HOUSE (our body) was made desolate by the death of Christ.

All mankind was made desolate: by his death; dwelling in darkness, and he AROSE, as the DAY STAR, and shined LIGHT (his WORD) into DARKNESS, and the darkness comprehended it NOT.

Creation HAPPEN a second time at Christ resurrection.

Genesis 1:2 And the earth (symbolic of man) was without form or void; and DARKNESS was on the face of the DEEP (symbolic of man).

Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light (Christ is the light of the world), that is was good: and God DIVIDED the LIGHT from DARKNESS.

Genesis 1:5 And God called the LIGHT DAY, and the DARKNESS NIGHT, and the evening and the morning (of his resurrection) were the FIRST DAY.

Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy SPIRIT (that spirit RAISED the new creation), THEY ARE CREATED, thou renewest the face of the earth.

1 Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are children of the LIGHT (Christ in you), and the children of DAY: we are not (children) of the NIGHT, nor of DARKNESS.

God Bless YOU!
