Bible Note: I agree with you 100 percent about the thief but the problem is that Christ isn't going to come like a thief for the believers, at least the way I read it. 1 Thes. 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. The valuables that are going to be taken are His elect and as soon as we are removed God is going to clobber those that are left, and it will be right after the great tribulation. The great tribulation is caused by the wrath of the Antichrist not the Lord. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. The short time is the last three and a half years. Jesus said that the tribulation will be cut short for the elects sake so that puts believers in that period. God has promised that his elect will not suffer His wrath and since there are believers on earth during the great tribulation that means that God is not metering out the wrath the adversary is. But the promise was given to all those believers that endure the tribulation till the end then they will be delivered. Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. That's the rapture, Jesus will deal out punishment to those that have been troubling His elect. The rapture and retaliation is all going to happen on the same day. 2 Thes. 1:6-12 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. God will deal out fire to those who trouble his elect and he is going to do it on the same day that he come to be glorified in his saints. It will be like it was in the days on Noah, the believers were sealed up then wham. Lot shows us the same example it happened so fast that Lot almost got his shirttail burnt on the way out. Check it out it all ties together. CDBJ |
