Understanding the Day of the Lord, Part 1 - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3
As we come now to the Word of God we are looking at a subject that is vital in Scripture; not the first coming of our Lord, but as we approach the Christmas season, we’re looking at the second coming of our Lord. He promised that He would come back. The angel said the day that Jesus ascended, “This same Jesus, whom you have seen go, in like manner shall come again.” And that is the Christian’s hope, the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear about that and has much to say about the end of human history. We need to understand what Scripture teaches, even though for some strange reason it is avoided by even many preachers.
We live in an increasingly secular world. We have probably more atheists now than any time in the history of our nation. Seems to be a global phenomenon that genuine Christianity and confidence in what the Bible says is diminishing, not in the sense of the true church, but in the sense of cultural acceptance of what Scripture teaches. As the culture we live in gets more and more secular, it moves further and further away from the Bible, and consequently it moves further and further into emptiness.
