For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5:2
"Come when it may, the day of God will come unawares to the ungodly.
--When life is going on in its unvarying round;
--when men are absorbed in pleasure,
--in business,
--in money-making;
--when religious leaders are magnifying the world's progress and enlightenment,
--and the people are lulled in a false security--then, as the midnight thief steals within the unguarded dwelling, so shall sudden destruction come upon the careless and ungodly."
