Just previous to this verse
in Scripture, Apostle Paul is speaking about the fact no one knows the day or
the hour. The Lord comes as a thief in the night.
LIGHT
But in the very next verse,
he states that what I just said does not apply to you because you live in the
light.
DARKNESS
So who does "Living in
Darkness" and the "Thief in the Night" apply too?
1. Unbelievers.
2. Worldly Believers.
3. Believers that don't care
about the Second Coming.
4. Believers that think they
know better and reject the physical Second Coming of Christ.
5. People that listen to
others. Similar to how Adam listened to Eve. They take comfort in the thoughts
of mortal men, rather than the Word of God. This excuse did not work for Adam.
It will not work here either.
Unfortunately, if you, family
members or someone you know is on the darkness list, Apostle Paul states that
the Second Coming of the Christ, the Resurrection of the Dead and the Rapture
of the Church is going to totally take you by surprise.
After it happens, about 7
billion people are going to be in total shock. Christ and the Church are the
only and dominant news story on CNN and FOX for months on end. The welcome
alternate "expert" viewpoints entertaining black holes, CERN,
cosmology and UFOs from guests of NASA, the Vatican and Universities.
Dumbfounded and speechless,
they all ask the same questions, "Where are the missing people?" and
"Who took them away?"
