That day will come as a theif to some but unto the brethren or those in christ that day will not come as a thief because you are not in darkness. We are children of the light.
Yes, many times. See references to "day of the Lord". Isaiah 13:6&7"Wail, for the day of the LORD is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. Therefore all hands will fall limp, And every man's heart will melt." Ezekiel 30:3 "For the day is near,Even the day of the LORD is near;It will be a day of clouds,A time of doom for the nations." Joel 1:15 "Alas for the day!For the day of the LORD is near,And it will come as destruction from the Almighty." So you know it is referring to the same thing see: I Thessalonians 5:2 "For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night." II Peter 3:10 "But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up."
Yes . It is going to come . But only the Lord knows it .
The Apostle Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians from Corinth.

Your question involves a combination of two scriptures...1 Thessalonians 5:2 says: " ...for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night."(NIV)(2 Peter 3:10)(Revelation 3:3)andMark 13:32 which says:"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. "(NIV)(Acts 1:7)
It depends on which movie you are talking about. Be more specific
second coming of Christ- 2 Peter 3.10 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. Read second peter three and just believe that gods word is true and you will understand that we are talking about the judgment of God and His wrath pouring out on those who have rejected his Son
This is when the Lord comes back to Earth for His people. No one knows when exactly. But the Bible says , "He shall come like a thief in the night". Not even the angels know or Jesus knows because He loves us so much that he would tell us if He found out.The "Day of the Lord" is the time of God's vengeance upon the world but has not yet occurred. It refers both to the last three-and-a-half years of a soon-coming 7-year periodcalled the "Great Tribulation", AND to the last dayat the end of that 3 1/2 year period when Jesus Christ returns to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.The following Bible references just to the Day of the Lord will explain specifically what occurs far better than any listing.Isaiah 212 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:Isaiah 136 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.Isaiah 348 For it is the day of the LORD'Svengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.Jeremiah 4610 For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.Lamentations 222 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD'S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.Ezekiel 135 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle inthe day of the LORD.Ezekiel 303 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.Joel 115 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.Joel 21 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: forthe day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.Joel 314 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: forthe day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.Amos 518 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?Obadiah 115 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.Zephaniah 17 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: forthe day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.Zephaniah 22 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.Zechariah 141 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.Malachi 45 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:Acts 220 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:1 Corinthians 55 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.2 Corinthians 114 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.1 Thessalonians 52 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.2 Peter 310 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..By reading the above references to get them in context and then reading the book of Revelation it will easily be seen that they are the same as "the Lord's Day" in Revelation 1:10.Additional Answer:From Isaiah 34:8 noted above and from Isaiah 61:2, it appears to be a one year period coming after the Heavenly Sings of Revelation 6:12-17 and Matthew 24:29. Also see Zechariah 14:1-4 for a brief description of the events of the 7 trumpets:Joel 2:31New King James Version (NKJV) 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness,And the moon into blood,Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.A SMALL NOTE.A very good response, but the "Day of the Lord" is different from the "Day of the Lord Jesus" or the "Day of Christ" The "Day of the Lord" is indeed a terrible time, but the "Day of Christ" (Lord Jesus) will be a day of rejoicing for the Christian as that is the day the Lord Jesus will return to receive Christians to Himself.
God is here, and has always been here. No one knows when God will come. 1 Thessalonians 5:2 says: "For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night." Lets hope he will come soon!
"This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it". This is a quote from the 118th Psalm.
According to the Bible, the Lord is waiting for the last of His chosen people to come to repentence. No one knows the day or the hour of Jesus' return. But He will come unexpectedly and suddenly (as a thief in the night). And as God counts it, he will come quickly. 2 Peter 3 9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10But 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. Mark 13 32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Revelation 22 20He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The lyrics and melody for "What a Beautiful Day for the Lord to Come Again" were written by Bill and Gloria Gaither. This song is part of the Southern Gospel music tradition and reflects themes of hope and anticipation for the second coming of Christ. It captures the joy and excitement of believers looking forward to this event.
