Really?
How about being taught by the apostles?
How about Paul referring to the day of the Lord at least 8 times in context of what we call in modern times the "rapture"?
Or more Biblical, his coming for the saints? Peter uses it in exactly the same way in
2 Peter 3:10.
The day of the Lord coming like a thief is
LIMITED TO Jesus teaching about his coming. Peter's sole intent is to encourage his audience that tho the promise of
HIS COMING might seem.......to be taking a long time, it will come.
So its more important for us to understand Gods word as taught by Jesus himself, and his Apostles than modern mens interpretations!
