Christ will Come like a Thief in the Night

[Bobby61557]

What gets me is you all want to be right and correct others. And hat's your biggest worry???

[julieification]

Good video.

[Beulah502]

Here "day" does not refer to a 1000 years. It refers to the Advent which is the lifetime of the Returned Christ. He will be persecuted but not put to death.

[Beulah502]

This Biblical phrase simply means the Christians will be asleep as the Christ is in the house and will not know it...... except for a select few. So His Advent is followed by tribulations to wake up mankind. So the Advent of Christ, of the Mahdi is pre-tribulations.

[AgeOfRecognition]

if he comes, christ will die in the first 5 minutes, because he is a joke

I have posted a vid regarding this subject! thank you

[CharlestonChew03]

Christ will come as a theif to those who are eating and drinking with the drunken. We know when Christ will come back, not the instant, but 3 1/2 after the antichirst kills the 2 witnesses (Revelation 11:1-15)

1 Thessalonians 5:4-But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

[Veiled4God]

Live your life for Christ now, because we don't know when He will be returning. Repent, get Saved and help save somebody. God bless

[lizazoon]

Christ, he better comes like a thief in the night ! Remember what happened the first time.

[samuel17517]

@lizazoon He stoled the serpent & put him in the mouth of the great fish, like a whale & Jesus was there for 40 days & 40 nights until the flood was over. Then Adam came to Jesus & he & Eve had a son . The called him Cain. he killed jesus & then Cain & his mother Eve had a son they called him Enoch. You never know when it's going to happen. Keep your eyes opened.

[rbs21966]

Yes he will come like a thief in the night ... but that does not mean people will be raptured .... the word rapture is not in the bible....FALSE TEACHING!!! we all will be judged

[CathPresbyter]

I have never believed in a pre-trib rapture. (Btw I saw you on the Nostradamas Effect, seems like they didn't have your complete clip there.) A form of the word rapture is indeed in the Sacred Volume, the Vulgate has the Latin form of the word rapiemur.

What do you mean "we will all be judged" are you referring to the particular judgement or the general at the eschaton, or do you mean those who teach a pre-trib rapture will be judge or they are trying to get out of God's justice by a rapture

[CathPresbyter]

Are your recordings basically the same things in your books? Can you post something about your books, and where you are eschatologically? I am always interested in adding to my library on end times, but I have so many books it was hard to move last time I was transfered so I have to only take a few books. Why would your book help me with reading the apoclyptic lit in the bible? Thanks for your time!!!

[richardperry2]

What I have received I give freely and it is available on my website and in over 300 teaching and current event videos here on YouTube.

[Beulah502]

@CathPresbyter I read Perry's ET book. I do not entirely agree with him but his book is a worthy one, and I suggest it, recomment it to you.

[CathPresbyter]

@Beulah502 by ET you mean end times right? Not little green men with antenna. (I have his books, and have attempted to delve into them a little, but I like to have a top down vision before I attempt to fully read it, this way I know what category the phrases fall into.)

[iammready]

Live every day as though it is your last and your day of judgment. Don't concern yourself with a date. Just be ready. "for you know not when I come".

[CathPresbyter]

You have a great point, but also when someone comes up with a date your exact quote highlights where it came from. If no one knows the day nor the hour how does someone get may 21, 2011. So either the Gospel is wrong of the person with the date is wrong. I prefer to think that a person is wrong, since the gospels are infallible.

[richardperry2]

Are you aware that the next Feast which Christ will fulfill, is the feast which "no one knows the day nor the hour' of.

It's the Day of Trumpets, when all God's Elect are gathered for the Final Harvest Feast. The Feast of Tabernacles.

When Christ said, "no one knows the day nor the hour" it is very likely that He was giving us a clue as to when He would return to gather His Church. He will gather them at the Feast of Trumpets, specifically the Last Trumpet.

Check it out, biblically.

[CathPresbyter]

Oh so when he really said no one knows the day nor the hour, he was not speaking truthfully but using Remez. So the LORD lies. Great exegesis.

Dude you are no different than the mormons or JW's or SDA's with this crazyness. Try just reading scripture and let go of your cult leader. He has already failed to predict Jesus' coming so he is a false prophet. May his habitation become desolate and his office let another take.

[CathPresbyter]

Can you give me the reference for this. Are you referring to the parousia text, when he returns with the voice of the arch angel? In 1 Thess 4, or are u using other verses here.

And please connect "the no one knows the day" quote to The Feast or Trumpets. If you have done it on a tape here, I would appreciate the recording so I can check it out.

THANKS...

[richardperry2]

The Feast of Trumpets happens on the "new moon", which is 29.5 days after the last one, meaning it might occur on the 29th or 30th day, nobody knows for sure.

"Of that day or hour no man knows" is a Hebrew expression referring to the Feast of Trumpets, and therefore, the Rapture.

[richardperry2]

Christ warned us; "Be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time." Mark 13:23

[jegjegod]

@richardperry2 How can you be on a guard, when you don't even know when the Thief will come. Then, how can you warn your people of sudden destruction that will come upon them, when you don't even know. That is not a good WATCHMAN. Therefore, Christ says, that blood in his hand, I will require for not WATCHING. 5/21/2011 IS THE END OF TIME FOR SALVATION. It is not too, late...To cry out to GOD for MERCY. And God command us to warn them for ME.

[jegjegod]

@jegjegod Shame on you for selling your books for profit and you don't even have the truth. That is a very shame in the eyes of God. When, Christ was preaching the word of God, he did not sale the word of God for any profit at all. It should be given FREELY. It's a SIN to sell the word of God for profit.

[CathPresbyter]

Has he ever said he does not know the thief will come. He just said he does not know the time. Also last I checked a minister is worth his wage, and if you knew anything about book publishing you will find that little is made on books. I have some friends who are published they don't even get close to what the time was putting into the book. The publishers make all the money. You publish to get it out, not to get rich.

[jegjegod]

@CathPresbyter If you are really scholar Bible. I suggest that you visit this WEBSITE called "FAMILYRADIO"dottcom. "If you are really searching for truth." You can order, these books for FREE or you can download them on your computers with no charges at all.

1] We Are Almost There

2] Time Has An End

3] To God Be The Glory

4] The End of the Church Age, and After.

These books will direct where to look in the Bible, where God has written his "Biblical Time Line of History.

[jegjegod]

TO:CathPresbyter - [CONTINUE] Noah, knew the EXACT DATE, the destruction of the FLOOD. He gave them warning for 120 years plus 7 days. That's how long it took him to build the ARK. But, the people in those days, laughed at him and they think he was "Insane." So, too, in this wicked generation, they will laughed at the date of his coming and the "Unsaved" people all over the world will mocked his warning. God, is the same Yesterday and Today. Again, it's happening before our eyes.

[thisismyusername1112]

Pre-trib rapture? Look at Rev 6:9-10, 7:9-17, 12:10, 12:17, 13:7-8, 13:10, 14:13, 16:15. And if you say these are the 'other' saints, you know we good ones are out of here, then I would question your judgment of yourself. Wake up and let Christ live in you!!

[zprodigalson]

The Church will be destroyed at the "Great Tribulation"...

[CathPresbyter]

So there will be no church in the great tribulation? Does this mean that the gates of hell have prevailed against the church? Doesn't there have to be at least some believer somewhere during the persacution, or has the church lost? Destruction seems like another force prevailing. How does this reconcile?

[jegjegod]

But, to his Elect, He will not come as a thief of the night. They will know exactly date of his coming, which is on May 21,2011 is the end of the world. I THESSALONIANS 5:1-9 In these passages it says. "For you know perfectly well, when the LORD will come as a thief of the night - Because you are the "Children of Light" and not of DARKNESS. Like the CHURCHES today and the rest of the world are drunken and slept into deepest sleep, until "Christ came to them "As A Thief of the Night".

[jegjegod]

And where do you WATCH? Do we go to the highest mountain and watch for his coming. Of Course Not! We "WATCH" in the BIBLE where you will find truth in the word of God. Revelation 3:3 If thou shall not WATCH. I will come to you "As A Thief of the Night" until sudden destructions shall come upon you and perished and die. Like in the days of NOAH, they ignored the WARNING until they all died and all perished in the FLOOD. So, too, in this GENERATION no one will believe that May 21,2011 is the END.

[CathPresbyter]

Where did you get that date? Some private vision, saw some history channel special, or what.

[jegjegod]

I suggest that you visit the WEBSITE called "FAMILYRADIO" and read the book called:

1] We Are Almost There

2] Time Has An End

3] The End of the Church Age, and After

4] To God be the Glory

You can order these books for FREE or you can download them on your computer. These books will direct you where to look in the Bible for "Proofs" and "Evidence" in the scriptures, where the 'true beleivers' shall know "Time Line of History of God. Check it for yourself to find the truth.

[CathPresbyter]

I have read some of these works and have some copies.

Are you telling me Mr. Camping is again choosing a date for the LORD to return. How many times does he have to fail before he stops it. At least Miller only did it two times.

No interested in your date. Not interested in Harold Camping, oh and on May 22, 2011 send me an e-mail apologizing for false prophecy.

[jegjegod]

We are not trying to convince anyone here. We are simply telling the whole world to get ready of the coming of the LORD on May 21,2011 is "The Day of Judgment". The Bible predicted, that the whole world will be in DENIAL and they will not believe. Like in the "Days of Noh" people are eating, drinking and marrying. They will not pay attention to this date, until it was too, late and sudden destruction came upon them and they all perished and died.

[CathPresbyter]

You are not trying to convince anyone, then why tell people to 'get ready' isn't that trying to convince? Look lets have this conversation on the 22 of May 2011, when you apologize for working for a false prophet. (Or profit in Mr Camping's case.)

[jegjegod]

@CathPresbyter I'm not trying to convince anyone here or convincing anyone to get saved,like other Churches do. Which are all "Man Made Salvation Program." I'm just telling the whole world of the "Impending Judgement" that will come upon all the CHURCHES all over the world and all the UNSAVED. That CHRIST will come to them as "A THIEF OF THE NIGHT." Because they are not WATCHING and Sudden Destruction shall come upon them and they will all perished and died. I THESSALONIANS 5:1-9

[CathPresbyter]

So then why tell them, if not to change their ways. Ends dictate actions as the philosophers tell us. Ones Telelology always determines actions, and eschatology is indeed a an end, since the word telos is in the word. I don't mind you telling people that the end will come, as the scriptures note, but you gave the date. The date. If we know the exact time, then there is no thief in the night, because we will not allow our house to be broken into.

[richardperry2]

the coming of the LORD on May 21, 2011

Biblically impossible !

[jegjegod]

I suggest that you visit the website called "Familyradio" Check these books or you can order them for FREE or you can download them on your computer for your research.

1] We Are Almost There

2] Time Has An End

3] To God Be The Glor

4] The End of The Church Age, and After

Check them for yourself and find out whether they are faithful to the word of God, the Bible.

If you really serious searching for truth, I recommend these books, it will direct you where to look in the Bible.

[MagellansUnderwear]

Stop propagating your silly fairy tales. Religion does more harm than anything else in this world, arguably aside from the very existence of modern man. your belief system is one of several that impedes human development as effectively as hamstringing a sprinter.

[ferdnerkel]

To paraphrase your statement, Where is the coming he promised?

[MrBebopyo]

One must distinguish between Christianity and christriandom. People are the problem. Not Religion!

[MagellansUnderwear]

no, they are both the problem. They have been for over two thousand years. The Abrahamic religions are a plague on par with AIDS and cancer.

[MrBebopyo]

What would you suggest as an alternative?

[MagellansUnderwear]

science. facts.

[MrBebopyo]

All I've heard is opinions.  No science or facts.

[MagellansUnderwear]

go to a library. read some books on biology. there are tons of facts there. take a physics course. read Cosmos. mountains of facts. hundreds of years of discoveries and observations, tested theories and facts. certainly more than one old book composed of manuscripts containing the "wisdom"of cattle sacrificing primitives who thought rape victims should be put to death.

[MrBebopyo]

I meant I have only heard opinions from you. in response to your "sacrificing cattle" reference, I am not of the ilk that takes the bible literally. Nor am I one who is not aware that the bible was written for people with a primitive consciousness. It is a historical fact that throughout history certain enilghtened souls have dwelt among us who have uleashed commentary that ultimately led to great breakthroughs in arts and science. Man's conscience is not the product of science and facts.

[flintstone9812]

I find myself wondering if the recent economic crisis might play a major role in the beginning of tribulations. If money is not readily available for loans to farmers, they will not be able to buy seed to plant and fuel for their machinery, thereby causing even worse food shortages than presently exist. That could lead to rioting and a major breakdown in otherwise civilized societies.

[80s90shousemami76]

my sister is very inrolled in her pentacostal church and one night i had a dream that we were at an airport and somthing was coming and we had to leave i was with her a sec and in a sec she was gone disappeared to my understand God took her with him and i was left behind ....

[areyouready2011]

May 21, 2011 is coming! Are you ready? This is a question we all ought to have in mind as we see the day approaching. The Bible says the day comes as a snare upon them who are not aware. Watching in the Bible is how we gain the light of understanding. Those who are sleeping and drunken are those in darkness in the churches who say no man can know the day or hour, but Daniel 12:4 says knowledge would be increased and we now know time and judgment as Ecclesiastes 8:5 indicates the two go together.

[Bereankjvuk123]

Dear Brother Richard,

Thanks for your excellent teaching.

In this video at 3:53 on run, it says on slide Revelation 15:16. Is it a typo error?

[richardperry2]

Yes, you are correct it should be Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake ..."

[JesusisLord321]

Amen brother

[ytjhaas40]

Thanks for the informative vid's.

I agree there's no secret rapture.

You said 'He Comes like a Thief - ONLY to those who are NOT Awake',

well, the Gospel and grace could maybe reach further then we usually imagine. Of course Christ's warning to stay awake should be followed up by us.

But... CAN we? If even the 5 faithful girls fell asleep. Waiting so long. Seeing nothing of a glorious Groom.

But... they were not thrown away for that .. waked up and.. entered the feast!

That's GRACE!

[chrstianmom]

my pastor has been warning us as a matter of fact he said he feels that the Lord will return in his lifetime and hes 70 years old... amen come Lord Jesus yeshua saviour of the world

[lopez41780]

I'm sure you have heard about the many prophets that claim Jesus will return in or around December 2012.... What is your opinion on this date? Jack Van Impe recently came out with a video on 2012 that was very conviencing. Most envangelicals, such as, John Hagee, Jack Van Impe, Perry Stone and others agree that 2012 will be a big year.

[richardperry2]

2012 is the End according to the Myans.

The Bible, however, reveals many things that have to happen before Christ can return - many things.

According to the Bible Christ cannot return around 2012. All those men you mention proclaim a Pre-Trib Rapture - there is No Pre-Trib Rapture, be like the Berians and check the Scripture to see if what they say is true.

It's not true- No Pre-Trib Rapture -I checked.

[bhatindawalla]

That is a good answer,

[awannabewriter]

We're also yet to have the mideast peace treaty confirmed, and the rapture happens 7 years after that peace treaty, right before the battle of armageddon.

So even if the treaty is confirmed this year, the rapture is yet at least 7 years away. Thats way past 2012.

[bhatindawalla]

But He will come like a THIEF in the night AFTER the Jews/Yahudim say Baruch Haba B'Shem YHWH/Adonai "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the "Lord".

[richardperry2]

He Comes like a Thief - ONLY to those who are NOT Awake.

[bhatindawalla]

OK point taken

[jegjegod]

Your exactly correct he will come as a thief of the night to CHURCHES and all the unbelievers all over the world. But he will not come as a thief of the night to all the true believers they will not be caught up unware because the are not living in darkness rather they will be the light to whole world that Jesus Christ will come exactly 5/21/2011

which is the rapture and it will be the end of the world on 10/21/2011 according to the biblical time line of history goto "familyradio" website.

[flintstone9812]

Matt. 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

How can anyone who has read this verse propose to know when Jesus is returning?

[mclaren1141]

Matt. 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Refers to the end of the heavens and the earth. No man knows that day
