Are we sure He'll not got us unaware ?

[Andrew Wabomba]

Mat 23:37-44

As we see, when Jesus came to the world through Mary ,nobody even one received Him .So my worries is this ,how sure are we that He won't get us unaware in His second coming. He stated very clear that He'll come like a thief. Can you know the time a thief will come to your house ?

If you are prepared at all times and are in the Lord then you will not have a problem.I do not believe that I will go in the second coming.I believe I will go in the Rapture which could be at any minute.

Jesus will not come unawares to those who know the times and seasons as Paul wrote to other believers.  He only comes as a thief in the night to those who do not believe because they do not know the times and seasons.

 

In the end times, the beast will change the times, and indeed this has already happened as our calendar got messed up. Then when a fellow like me comes along and points this out to other Christians, I'm oftentimes seen as a kook. But we've been so Gentilized over the years we think that what we now know is normal and something that is of the Lord, but it is not.

 

I know exactly what time he will come on any given year.  I know not what year, but I know when he will come during any given year, based on the feasts. He won't come tonight, so you can rest well if you feel you still need to repent.    We have about a month yet if it's this year.

[The_Patriot21]

He will come like a thief in the sense that we won't know when hes coming-but like in the parable of the 10 virgins, (matthew 5) the 5 who who were ready when the groomsmen came, who had oil for their lamps, while they didn't know when the groomsmen would show up they were ready regardless, while the other 5 were caught unawares. We as christians have no idea when Christ will come-at all, however, since we are always ready, we will not be caught by surprise.

Nobody knows the hour or the day monthe or year.. not even the angels::

Matthew 24:36-44 – But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels in heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Fro as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then two shall be in the field: one shall be taken, the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore, be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

[Andrew Wabomba]

Well, one thing I'm not clear with is , if this generation can make better from Jesus's time ,when God ordained people such as high priests and law keepers didn't recognise Jesus as the Lord.He came to his own but his own did not received him. (John 1:11) Can we have assurance that "his own" will not let him down for the second time ?

So let me get this straight.  Nobody knows when he's coming.  You don't know when he's coming.  Like in the days of Noah, they were eating and drinking and they knew nothing until the flood came.  Does that include Noah, or was he already on board?  Or to put it another way, you're telling us all you may miss the boat so-to-speak?

 

Really now. If I'm going to make such a claim as I did, don't you think I am already aware of this scripture? If it was this simple to disprove what I said, then I would not know my bible well, would I? 

 

I mentioned this before somewhere else.  In their culture, what Jesus stated would be clearly associated with the feast of Trumpets.  Unlike all the other festivals, only this one nobody knew when it would have started.  They had to watch for a new lunar crescent. But they knew when it was about to be seen.  Someone (e.g. a Gentile) would not know that, or maybe would not use such a calendar, so like any Gentile they are eating and drinking and making merry when it comes as a surprise.  But, as Paul stated:

 

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. ²For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. ³For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. ⁴But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

 

But everyone and their brother is so wrapped up in their Lents, and Halloweens, and Christmases (Daniel 7:25, Galatians 4:10-11) and disregard the prophetic feasts of the Lord, that yes, the Lord will come as a thief to them, while those who dutifully follow their meanings are told "you are not under the Law" and somehow view these "set times" of the Lord with disdain.

It was written that the Jews would reject Jesus (if this what you mean). Because if the Jews accepted him he would not have died on the cross. Even Satan was fooled by Jesus's death and subsequent resurrection. The Jews were not Christ-killers. They did not know what they were doing. This was God's plan. Of course many Jews did turn to Christ, but this is not what I meant. The Jewish lawkeepers and priests rejected him. God knew that they were influenced by Satan and Satan's plan was to kill the Messiah. Satan succeeded in this, but he failed because he did not know that the Messian was meant to die.

The Jews of 'faith' will recognise him the second time (they will mourn for him who they pierced). We too (the believing Gentiles) will recognise him.
