    Philip Christian Parks on 1 Thessalonians 5 - 4 years ago
    (continued) 1Thes. 5:2; 2Pet. 3:10 = Obviously, the expression "in the night" does not confine the "Day of The LORD" to literal darkness of the night season, for half of the earth's globe is always experiencing daylight. The expression, "in the night", describes the general character of the secrecy and un-expectancy in which thieves work.

    Interestingly and thief-like, CHRIST linked the "night" season with many of HIS events:

    + JESUS CHRIST came the first time in birth "by night" unannounced to all except the shepherds (Lu. 2:8-11);

    + "HIS Star" guided the wise men to "the house (not to HIS manger!) where the Young CHILD was" ( Mt. 2:2, 9-10);

    + HIS parents spirited HIM into Egypt "by night" after Joseph's "dream" ( Mt. 2:14);

    + CHRIST often reserved the "night" for prayer (Lu. 6:12).

    + The Jews arrested CHRIST during the darkness of night;

    + "Darkness" overshadowed the crucifixions of CHRIST and the two thieves ( Mt. 27:45; Mk. 15:33; Lu. 23:44); and

    + CHRIST arose from HIS tomb during the darkness of night.
