Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:1

1 THESS. 5This chapter continues, significantly, the teaching on the Second Advent, but with a difference of purpose. Whereas in 1 Thessalonians 4 the purpose was reassurance with reference to deceased Christians, in this it is rather an admonition to be ready for the event when it occurs (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11). Then follows a paragraph of instructions directed especially to the elders of the church (1 Thessalonians 5:12-22), with the conclusion next, containing the apostolic signature and... 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 ...

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

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
