“THEY WILL NOT ESCAPE!”

 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3                    (ESV)

The Day of THE LORD

“[1] Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have NO NEED to have anything written to you. [2] FOR YOU YOURSELVES ARE FULLY AWARE THAT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. [3] While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” THEN SUDDEN DESTRUCTION WILL COME upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and “THEY WILL NOT ESCAPE”.”

This letter to the Thessalonian church was written by the Apostle Paul, Sylvanus and Timothy.  The last portion of this letter is a stark reminder that WE BELIEVERS have NO NEED to be preached to, but that WE must never forget that the END is coming!!  As many people beforehand, I am convinced that THE END TIMES are not far away!!!  

These three verses let me know that WE BELIEVERS have no need to be reminded about THE END TIMES. But do I live my life as so who BELIEVES that the END OF THE WORLD could be next week….or tomorrow???  

The first Easter came around 2,000 years ago and virtually every person THOUGHT that JESUS was dead and buried!  Of course, we BELIEVERS understand that HE was not confined by death, hell and the grave!!!  Although Scripture indicates that MOST people are NOT CHOSEN, so they will NOT and CANNOT believe.  But “THEY WILL NOT ESCAPE” the SUDDEN DESTRUCTION that is also coming!!!  Scripture says they won’t!!!
