To Bannal--How do you deal with what Paul wrote in I Thessalonians 5:1-4 Where there are two groups of people mentioned, They and Ye; the unbelievers being they, and the believers being the ye. Paul say that belivers are not in darkness that the day of the Lord will overtake them like a thief. The reason being that there are signs that have been given to belivers to look for just before the Lord returns. Paul had drummed it into there heads so much that he says in 5:1 that you have no need that I write you. Maybe there is something in the doctrin of the Lord's return that you are not clear on? Unbelievers don't know enough to see or look for the signs, that's why Christ will come as a thief to them. The Disciples ask the question in Matt. 24:3 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world (age)? The very next verse is a warning from Christ not to let any man deceive you. The whole chapt. of Matt.24: has a comparative account in The Revelation of Christ. Look these up. (Matt.24:4 cf. Rev. 22:19 warning) (Matt.24:5 cf. Rev.6:1-2 false Christ) (Matt.24:6 cf. Rev.6:3-4 wars) (Matt.24:9,21 cf. Rev.6:7,8 The Great Trib.) (Matt.24:9,22 cf. Rev.6:9 death) (Matt.24:10,24 cf. Rev. Apostasy) (Matt.24:29 cf. Rev. 6:12-17 Sun moon and stars) (Matt.24:13,31 Cf. Rev.7:9-14 The rapture) (Matt.24:14,37-39 cf. Rev.8:1-7 The wrath of God) I hope this helps! CDBJ | ||||||

Sorry to confuse you CDBJ, I read it wrong. I thought it was speaking of the un-believers. You can read in my other posts that I feel Christians are to watch and pray. I am still learning this forum and did not know how to delete a post. God Bless, Devan |
