Jesus Christ is likened to the house had known at what
coming of a thief in the night. time of night the thief
was coming, he would

would not have let his
house be broken into.
You know very we

Lord wi come like a
thief in the night
(I Thealonians 5:2).
The key element in both teachings

catches a household by surprise, Jesus
wi catch the unbelieving world by
surprise when He returns in judgment.
