Would anyone else acknowledge the parallel, and (if so, then hence) presumable reference ? I.e. that St. Paul (1 Thessalonians 5, written c.52AD) and St. Peter (2 Peter 3, written c.64AD) are alluding to Job 24:14 (amongst many other OT passages) ?

To understand the Apostles fully, means we should also refer to all scripture especially in the 'old testament' and the extra-canonical writings that were contemporary in Yeshua's day and Paul's. I also think it alludes to the Marriage Feast and the events leading up to a Hebrew Marriage Ceremony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Actually if you would watch you would know that it's very soon .
