Preparing for the battles ahead
It would appear that any concerns over their departed loved ones had been answered or at
least their minds were moving on to other issues.
A. We as believers have every bit of information we need.
You yourselves know.
(Or have the ability to Know)
WE KNOW.... (This really has to do with the THEY group as opposed to the Brethren group)
What information is it that we have?
1.
That Jesus Christ is coming again.
Day of the Lord.
End Times: The times we live in now (Identified by the watchfulness of believers)
The Day of the Lord: (Begins at the Rapture)
The Day of the Lord begins at the Rapture.
Two major identifiers.... 1. Reward for the believers.... 2. Punishment for non-believers
Tribulation: 7 years of God’ Punishment upon the Earth
Two Divisions.... First 3 1/2 Years (False Prophet and Anti-Christ establish themselves)
Second 3 1/2 Years (The Great Tribulation (Time of unimaginable wrath)
The Second Coming of Christ: He will appear in the clouds
The Trumpet will sound
People will Morn because they will know He has come to Judge
He will stand on the Earth again
Millennial Reign:
New Heaven and New Earth:
1 Cor 15:52
John 14:3
2. It will be unexpected, violent and tragic.
This isn't trying to be explained to the Thessalonians but it was called to their remembrance of how their loved ones had died.
3.
That there is absolutely no escape.
(And they shall not escape)
B. We as believers have already been provided an escape.
(Vs 4-5)
1.
We have been set free from darkness.
2. We are Sons of Light and of the Day
Eph 5:8
This is a clear admonition to walk as what you have become.
3. We now are totally removed from any connection to the darkness.
C. We as believers have been given a task.
This idea of preparation and preparedness are a thread that runs from Christ
till the book of revelation.
Matt 24:43-44
So why do you and I need to be awake and sober?
When He comes I’m going home?
The day of the Lord will take unbelievers by complete surprise.
While they are speaking to one another about ‘peace and safety’, destruction will ‘come on them suddenly’.
As they go about their daily lives, sunk in a deadly spiritual apathy, the wrath of God will unexpectedly sweep them away.
Unbelievers only believe what they can see.
As they cannot see the judgement of God approaching, they dismiss it as fantasy or scaremongering.
They encourage each other with false hopes when they talk optimistically about the future, unaware that eternal damnation is on the horizon and about to engulf them.
They are not realistic about what is going to happen.
They are deaf to the warnings of God, absorbed in their own selfishness, and utterly blind to the judgement that is hanging over them.
In every sense they are unprepared for that fast-approaching day.
Matt 24:38-44

1. Do not sleep.
This is different that asleep or sleep in Chapter 4:13-15.
Here it means spiritual lethargy and insensitivity.
2. Be watchful
We know fully the signs of His return.
3. Be sober
