Regarding the rapture, there's a lot of talk about how we are not supposed to know when it's coming.
This spurs from when Jesus said, "No one knows the day or the hour," and when Apostle Paul said, "Like a thief in the night."
But have you ever continued to read in 1 Thessalonians 5? After explaining how Jesus would come like a thief in the night, we have a three-letter word... BUT.
"But you won't be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief."
The surprise is for those who are asleep. But we who are alive in Christ will know it's coming!
Plus, did you know the phrase "no one knows the day or hour" is a Jewish idiom referring to the Feast of Trumpets? It's the only feast where the exact beginning is unknown because the new moon must be spotted first. It's within a two-day period.
Jesus told us the signs that signal his return in Matthew 24 and other places. He even hinted that it will happen during the Feast of Trumpets.
So, what do you do? Look up! Keep your eyes on Jesus. He's coming VERY soon.
