“What does it mean that Jesus will return like a thief in the night?”
Some Christians have a difficult time with the way the writers of scripture consistently and flagrantly compare the timing of our Lord’s second coming to the unexpected entrance of a thief operating in the dark. Perhaps they feel it’s undignified for God to do anything less than appear in blazing glory, defying evil and routing all opposition before the splendor of his appearing. Perhaps they feel he should announce himself with trumpets.
They need not be troubled. He will, and he will. We’ll get to that shortly.
