barnardpi said:I believe Christ was referring to the fact that no man will know the day nor hour when He will come, just like we can't predict when someone will choose to invade our homes through robbery. There are many people who have either awakened or entered their homes when being robbed. A thief does not always go unnoticed. In the Bible, I Thessalonians 4:13-18 describes the form that the Lord will come back, but not when. We do not know the day nor hour.?
He has during all of His previous manifestations.
A thief in the night goes unrecognized; otherwise, he wouldn't be much of a thief. Christ chose this simile to describe His second coming. If the simile doesn't describe His second coming accurately, He, as a manifestation of the All-Knowing, wouldn't have chosen it.
