When a cunning thief intrudes to claim what is not rightfully theirs, they do not broadcast their impending arrival. They refrain from revealing their presence before the perfect moment arrives, meticulously planning their approach. Their primary objective is to ensnare the unsuspecting victim, guaranteeing the successful execution of their nefarious scheme. Analogously, the prophesied return of Christ to dispense divine justice upon the wicked is poignantly illustrated through this compelling metaphor. For the hardened, scoffing unbelievers who deride the steadfast faith of waiting Christians, the reappearance of Christ will come as a stark and utterly unforeseen event. Conversely, for those who maintain unwavering faith, it will be a long-cherished and eagerly anticipated day, a time of profound joy and unwavering hope that has been fervently anticipated.
