Your link says “What you fail to comprehend is that the
time of the Tribulation is coming as a thief.”
That’s NOT what Scripture says—Peter plainly says the
DAY of the Lord is coming as a thief and
IN THAT DAY, meaning in that 24 hour period, is when destruction happens, not after years and years as you claim. Let’s not add to a Scripture, please
No.
Not merely "a singular 24-hour day".
Paul tells us the manner of its ARRIVAL, in 1Th5:2-3, where he uses the EXACT WORD that Jesus used in Matt24:8 / Mk13:8 (Jesus used the "PLURAL"; Paul used the "SINGULAR" because he's speaking of the moment of its ARRIVAL):
Matthew 24:8 N-GFP [re: the BEGINNING OF them... vv.4-8]
GRK: ταῦτα ἀρχὴ
ὠδίνων
NAS: are [merely] the beginning of
birth pangs.
KJV: these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
INT: these [are] a beginning of birth pains
Mark 13:8 N-GFP [re: the BEGINNING OF them... vv.5-8]
GRK: λιμοί ἀρχὴ
ὠδίνων ταῦτα
NAS: are [merely] the beginning of
birth pangs.
KJV: these [are] the beginnings of sorrows.
INT: famines Beginnings of birth pains [are] these
1 Thessalonians 5:3 N-NFS [SINGULAR - "birth PANG"... this is the SAME WORD but in the SINGULAR (Grk)]
GRK: ὥσπερ ἡ
ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν
NAS: like labor pains upon a woman with child,
KJV: as travail upon
INT: as the labor pains to her in
Strong's Greek: 5604. ὠδίν (ódin) -- a birth pang (biblehub.com)
--In 1Th5:
2-3, Paul is speaking of
its ARRIVAL point-in-time (the INITIAL "birth
PANG [SINGULAR]");
--Jesus (when speaking of this same word) tells of
a SPANS OF TIME ("the BEGINNING of birth PANG
S [PLURAL]" - Matt24:4-8 / Mk13:5-8) which is well-before the END of the matter when He RETURNS
to the earth (Matt24:29-31);
...IOW,
MANY MORE "birth PANGS"
follow on from "the BEGINNING of" them (and these "BEGINNING of birth PANGS [PLURAL]" are EQUIVALENT to the SEALS in Rev6...
which is the early parts of the "IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]" time period that Rev1:1 / 1:19c / 4:1 says that those "future" aspects of "[The] Revelation" are said [of them] "must come to pass IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]" [
not said re: "the things
WHICH ARE" section (chpts 2-3),
by contrast]).
It is by disregarding this connection (of Jesus' words and Paul's here), that ppl miss what Paul (and Peter) are conveying by the phrase "the Day of the Lord" (and namely, its "ARRIVAL"--1Th5:2-3; Matt24:4 / Mk13:5 "G5100 - tis - 'A CERTAIN ONE').
[also, I've mentioned before, when reading Peter's 2Peter3:8-10, read also BOTH CHPTS of Isaiah 34-35 to get a sense of what he's covering (not merely 34:4 - ONE VERSE extracted out from its CONTEXT)]
