“Thief in the night” I am reading in one of our local papers. It is the first item under the heading “IN BRIEF”. (The Northland Age, Tuesday, April, 24, 2012)

I remember straight away that I am reading about a “thief in the night” somewhere else, namely in the BIBLE.

The BIBLE teaches about the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and says that the Time of His Coming is Unknown. (Matthew 24:36) 

But the BIBLE teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ…..

1.  …..”‘will come when least expected.'”(Luke 12:40)

2.  …comes “‘as the lighting flashes in the east and shines to the west,.. ‘” (Matthew 24:27) 

3.  …will come “like a thief in the night.” (First Thessalonians 5:2) Also Revelation 3:3; Revelation 16:15.

Are you ready. Are you ready all the time? Are you watching for the Lord? You are blessed if you do!
