A very popular refrain of Dispensationalists is that Jesus will come “Like a Thief in the Night” to secretly rapture away His Bride. They claim that this secret and silent removal of the Church is a separate event from Christ’s Parousia, which they acknowledge is preceded by several signs. In this lesson, we will look at what exactly happens when Jesus comes “like a thief,” and if it even remotely describes a secret rapture, or it clearly describes the Last Day of this generation. Is the point that Jesus’ will rapture away the Church, or that we all better be alert, ready, and about our Lord’s business when He returns to claim His throne. While we are at it, we will also take a look at who exactly is the Bride of the Lamb.
