Hi, thanks for answering.
It's a nice story.
I bet you could start your own church on what you just said.
Saying that the Lord through Paul, gives us another characteristic of the day of the Lord only makes me ask, "where do you find this in Scripture"?
Because it sounds like it's coming out of your head in order to fit what you believe rather than coming from Scripture.
Well, I am definitely not the one who came up with this information, for it is God's word and very easy to understand, that is, except for those who have adopted a false teaching and are unwilling to look at the truth. Below is the scripture that I previously presented to you:
The gathering of the church, dead and living:
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
So above we have Paul's detailed account of the gathering of the church, dead and living. Then regarding that event, Paul continues with the following:
Now, brothers and sisters,
about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that
the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night."
Grammatically speaking, the
"times and dates," which is also referred to as
the day of the Lord, would have to refer back to the event of the gathering of the church. Therefore, how can you say that it is coming out of my head to fit what I believe, when the scripture is posted right in front of you. If you even have the basic understanding of sentence structure and grammar it should be very easy to understand. Since no other event is mentioned in the context, then the times and dates would have to be the times and dates of the gathering of the church, which Paul then refers to as the day of the Lord.
It's not a nice story, but scriptural truth.
