the day of the Lord

The day of the Lord is more nearer than we could be thinking.

 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” 2 Peter 3v10 (KJV)

One thing is sure – the day of the Lord is coming. 

When is it coming? We really don’t know, for it will come as a thief in the night, so basically it’s not going to be announced. It’s going to be unexpected. 1 Thessalonians 5v6-10 (AMP) therefore encourages us that “Accordingly then, let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us keep wide awake (alert, watchful, cautious, and on our guard) and let us be sober (calm, collected, and circumspect). For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk, get drunk at night. But we belong to the day; therefore, let us be sober and put on the breastplate (corslet) of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not appointed us to [incur His] wrath [He did not select us to condemn us], but [that we might] obtain [His] salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who died for us so that whether we are still alive or are dead [at Christ’s appearing], we might live together with Him and share His life.” Amen. 

BRETHEN, I don't think we need to deal with the question of when all this is going to happen. You know it as well as I also that the day of the Master’s coming can’t be posted on our calendars. He won’t call ahead and make an appointment any more than a burglar would. About the time everybody’s walking around complacently, making Merrie's, acclaming glory for themselves – “We’ve sure got it made! Now we can take it easy!” – suddenly everything will fall apart. It’s going to come as suddenly and inescapably as birth pangs to a pregnant woman. But brethen, you’re not in the dark, so how could you be taken off guard by any of this? You’re sons of Light, Daughters of Day. We live under wide open skies and know where we stand.” 1 Thessalonians 5vs 11
