My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?
1 Thessalonians 5:1 (KJV) But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 (KJV) For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
The time or season we have no idea of when the Lord will return and call His people away. Then Paul goes on and says but you know that the day of the Lord is coming and the way He comes will be like a thief. A thief doesn’t let you know when he is coming. A thief makes sure you aren’t aware of his showing up. Well when this world is not thinking or paying attention, thinking all is well He will come. The problem is that this world just keeps getting further and further away from God so that when He comes it’s like a thief in the night. Many will scratch their heads and say “what happened.” Then Paul goes on, he says but you know, the Lord is not going to be a surprise because you know The Lord is coming, you are looking for His return. I’m afraid that many Christian look at the return of Christ as their death. They know it’s coming but not today I have plenty of time.
1 Corinthians 15:51 (KJV) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1 Corinthians 15:52 (KJV) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
We may not have as much time as we think! When it happens it will be fast.
