some folk (good folk really ) enjoy looking into the fog.

He will not come as a thief in the night for those who are in the light.
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
He will come as a thief in the night for those who are of the darkness.
The writing in the opening verse of what we call Chap. 5 is something that is consistent with a view that differentiates between the scriptural witness of "hour and day" vs. "times and seasons."
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
children of the light should not be overtaken by a thief in the night. If you can be overtaken, you are NOT a child of the day.
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
The day of Lord, to us, should not come upon us as a thief in the night.

That's the one I was thinking of.

(2 Peter 3:10 KJV) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
As for your verse.........re-read it.
(1 Thessalonians 5:1-2 KJV) But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
That is written to the church of Thessalonica, not sinners. 2 Peter was written to the church in Jerusalem......not sinners. The day of the Lord WILL come as a thief in the night......no need to try and explain it away.......take the Bible for what it says.............
Look at Matthew 24. Two women grinding at the mill....one taken, the other left. Two in the field, one taken, the other left. You think the ones taken saw it coming? Gimme a break......

If you choose self-imposed darkness, I leave you to it.

lol..........darkness meaning I dont know when the Lord shall return then yes......darkness meaning I wont be in the rapture............no. Read your Bible man............in several places...it specifically says the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. To break this down as simply as I can, it means that it will be quick like in the twinkling of an eye (1 Corinthians 15:52) and is unknown to us when it will occur just like when a thief comes in the night.....quick and unknown. Is that really that difficult to understand?

Jesus was talking about what happened in 70AD in Matt 24. I used to think those scriptures dealt with end time stuff too, but not anymore. That was one prophecy I believe has already been fulfilled. Guess that makes me a partial preterist in some people's eyes. If even one single end time prophecy has been fulfilled in the last 2000 years, then everyone should be a partial preterist.
