1 Thessalonians 5:4 “But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that this day should overtake you as a thief“.
In Mathew 24:7 it says that there will be “pestilences” or pandemics before Jesus comes back. That’s what we are seeing today with the Corona Virus. In 1 Thessalonians 5:4 it’s talking about the rapture of the church before Jesus comes back in His second coming. Notice it says brethren. These are believers in Jesus as their Savior and Lord. It also tells us that for believers that day won’t be like a thief in the night, we won’t be in darkness. We live as children of the light.
The Bible says in the rapture we will disappear in an atomic second. Then the return of our Lord Jesus Christ can take place at any time. But to the world, the rapture is more like now you see me, now you don’t, gone without clear explanation. The devil has already set in motion an abundance of science fiction movies and themes that will try and explain away our disappearance. But there is only one explanation.
We are in the last days. The rapture of the church is drawing near. The second coming of our Lord is closer than before. We are not in darkness; we will receive a new glorified body and enjoy eternity with our Lord and Savior. Let’s purpose in our hearts to share the good news of Jesus Christ with everyone we meet, with our words and our actions!
