テサロニケ人への手紙Ⅰ 5:1-2 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

I. HOW THE DAY OF THE LORD IS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED IN ITS COMING . "But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night." By the same method which is followed in 1 Thessalonians 4:9 , the apostle seeks to impress on the Thessalonians a certain point relating to the times and. the seasons which make up the period of the Lord's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-28

Now follows a series of short admonitions. The Thessalonians were to love and honor their ministers, to live in peace among themselves, to admonish the disorderly, to encourage the faint-hearted, to support the weak, and to exercise forbearance toward all men. They were to be on their guard against revenge, to preserve Christian joyfulness, to be constant in prayer, and to maintain a thankful disposition. They were not to quench the Spirit, nor despise prophesyings, but were to test all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:2

For yourselves know perfectly ; namely, not from Scripture, nor from oral tradition, but from the teaching of the apostle when in Thessalonica. That the day of the Lord . "The day of the Lord" is a common Old Testament expression, denoting the coming of the Divine judgments ( Joel 1:15 ; Joel 2:1 ); and by the phrase here is meant, not the destruction of Jerusalem, nor the day of one's death, but the day of the Lord's advent, when Christ shall descend from heaven in glory for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4

The one idea to be impressed upon us by this striking image is that of unexpectedness. The thief succeeds in making his entrance when he is least expected. So will it be on "the day of the Lord." The idea is derived from the teaching of Christ, in which it is more fully expanded (see Matthew 24:43 , Matthew 24:44 ). The "day of the Lord" which is to come thus suddenly is often referred to in the Old Testament. There it is a dreadful occasion of Divine manifestation for judgment, to be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:1

But of the times and the seasons - See the notes, Acts 1:7. The reference here is to the coming of the Lord Jesus, and to the various events connected with his advent; see the close of 1 Thessalonians 4:0.Ye have no need that I write unto you - That is, they had received all the information on the particular point to which he refers, which it was necessary they should have. He seems to refer particularly to the suddenness of his coming. It is evident from this, as well as from other parts of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:2

For yourselves know perfectly - That is, they had been fully taught this. There could be no doubt in their minds respecting it.The day of the Lord so cometh - Of the Lord Jesus - for so the word “Lord” in the New Testament commonly means; see the notes, Acts 1:24. The “day of the Lord” means that day in which he will be manifested, or in which he will be the prominent object in view of the assembled universe.As a thief in the night - Suddenly and unexpectedly, as a robber breaks into a... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Thessalonians 5:1

1 Thessalonians 5:1. The apostle having described the coming of Christ to raise the dead, judge the world, and carry the righteous with him to heaven, does not quit the awful subject, but proceeds in this chapter to foretel the terror which his appearance will occasion to the unrighteous, and the punishment which he will then inflict on them: a circumstance this which merits the reader’s attention, because it proves that, in describing Christ’s second coming, the apostle had some further end... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3

1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 . For yourselves know perfectly It being a matter plainly revealed both by Christ and his apostles; that the day of the Lord That great decisive day, to which our eyes and hearts are so much directed; so cometh as a thief in the night Cometh suddenly and unexpectedly; and will occasion the greatest consternation to the ungodly. This comparison is used by our Lord himself to illustrate the unexpectedness of his coming, Matthew 24:43. It is used by St. Peter also, 2... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

Those who are still alive (5:1-11)Paul had already told the Thessalonians that no one knows when Christ will return. He will come as unexpectedly as a thief. His intervention in the affairs of the world will be as sudden as birth pains. His return will smash the non-Christian’s sense of security with a destruction that none will escape (5:1-3). The life of the non-Christian is likened to a dark night of moral laziness and ill-discipline. The life of the Christian is likened to a bright day of... read more
