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 5:2-3

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

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.Know perfectly .... "There had been no special revelation to any of the Thessalonians regarding this; they had not had the privilege of hearing Christ personally while he was upon earth; and, therefore, it may be assumed that Paul here meant that he and Silas and Timothy had fully and carefully instructed them on these things at the time of their conversion.Day of the Lord so cometh ...

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2

1 Thessalonians 5:1-2. But of the times and the seasons, &c.— "I have told you that the solemn day of universal judgment will certainly come; and have been endeavouring to lead your minds to those views of it which must be most reviving to every true believer: but concerning the particular times and seasons of this grand event, with which the oeconomy of Providence in this world is to close, and respecting some very wonderful occurrences which are to precede it, I am satisfied, my brethren,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:2

1 Thessalonians 5:2. The day of the Lord— This phrase may be understood either figuratively, of Christ's coming in judgment upon the Jews; or literally, of his coming in glory to judge the world. Sometimes, indeed, it is used in the former sense; but it is more generallyemployed in the latter, by the writers of the New Testament; and the context plainly evinces that this latter is the sense in the present passage. There is a remarkable emphasis in the next expression: A thief comes upon people... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:2

2. as a thief in the night—The apostles in this image follow the parable of their Lord, expressing how the Lord's coming shall take men by surprise (Matthew 24:43; 2 Peter 3:10). "The night is wherever there is quiet unconcern" [BENGEL]. "At midnight" (perhaps figurative: to some parts of the earth it will be literal night), 2 Peter 3:10- :. The thief not only gives no notice of his approach but takes all precaution to prevent the household knowing of it. So the Lord (Revelation 16:15). Signs... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2

Paul had previously taught this church about the day of the Lord (1 Thessalonians 5:2). Jesus had also taught His disciples about it (cf. Matthew 24:44; Mark 13; Luke 21). They had taught about the chronological periods ("times," Gr. chronos, an extended period) and the major features of those periods ("epochs," Gr. chairos, a definite period) that lay ahead in the future. These words may describe the end times from these two perspectives (cf. Acts 1:7; Acts 3:19-21). [Note: G. G. Findlay, The... read more

C. Personal watchfulness 5:1-11In view of the imminency of Christ’s return Paul exhorted the Thessalonians to be ready to meet the Lord at any time."The former [paragraph, i.e., 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18] offered instruction concerning the dead in Christ; this [paragraph] gives a word of needed exhortation to the living." [Note: Hiebert, p. 207.] Other contrasts between these passages are the Rapture and the day of the Lord, and resurrection and judgment.This pericope deals with the time of... read more
