Thief In the Night, You Are Spiritually Dead to God's Word

Thief In the Night Means You're In Darkness

Thief In the Night Means You Don't Know God's Word

Spiritually Dead means you don't know God's word, the Seals, Trumpets, Vials, God's Plan

It is useless to set the day and hour for Christ's coming, but we are suppose to know the season.

God uses nature itself to relate something to you because you can identify with the things you can see.

1 Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

If you are not watching what's going on in the world and studying God's Word, I will come on the AS A Thief.

You don't know when a thief comes, meaning you don't know God's word

Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Matthew 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

What hour? The Last 5 Months

Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

All the world, all those that follow the ways of this world age. If you don't know God's seals, trumpets and vials you will be deceived. Which means you are going the ways of the world and have received the mark of the beast in your forehead (Satan's false lies)

The Seal of God in your forehead The truth of God's word in your forehead vs the mark of the beast (Satan brings in false deception) in your forehead the deception of false teaching and the tradition of man in your forehead.

Revelation 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

1/2 hour = 2 1/2 months & 1 hour = 5 months

2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them (satan fallen angels) that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you.

Where do locust come from? Underground meaning they do things behind closed doors.

Revelation 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

Revelation 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

The mark in his hands, You're working for Satan, you are climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.

When does a thief come? You don't know because you were not watching for him.

A Thief In The Night means you don't know God's word. You have to have the seal of God in your forehead before the 5th trump sounds. If you don't know God's seals, trumpets and vials you will be deceived.

Which means you are going the ways of the world and have received the mark of the beast in your forehead (Satan false lies)

John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way (by false teaching), the same is a thief and a robber.

Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

What are the garments? God's Very Elect, 144,000

Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations (all races), and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God (Millennium temple), and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them (teach them), and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

This verse tells us those that don't study God's word and don't watch, I will come upon them as a thief.

You will not know what hour. We know this hour is the last five months of this earth age. (Revelation 9:5)

Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

What day is this? The day of the Lord (Revelation 11:11-19) (Revelation 20)
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
7th vials The Elements is to destroy the evil things, the works of this earth age that is evil.
Melt means be dissolved
A thief in the night, They don't know God's Word, they don't have the seal of God in their forehead.
They don't know the seals, trumpets or vials which is God' Plan
Darkness means opposite of the truth = deception and confusing
4th trump 1/3 of the Christians are spiritually dead to GOD'S WORD.
4th trump It's to make a choice, choose to follow God or Satan

Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
What did this verse say? The number is the number of a man.
The name of the man is Satan. Satan's number is 666
His number is 666. You know what happens at the 6th seal, 6th trumpet and 6th vial.
The sixth seal, Who is able to stand against Satan and his false angels, meaning you know what to do.
The sixth seal, You know the sealing, trumpets, vials and God's plan, you're not in darkness you have the seal of God in your forehead.
What's happen at the sixth trump?
Satan's standing in Jerusalem saying he's God, with his fallen angels.
Satan's tribulation is for 2 1/2 months
What happen at the sixth vial?
6th vial - Satan's spirits of devil poured out on the earth.
Revelation 16 and 17 Satan lies, deception and confusion poured out on the people, those that have not the seal of God in their forehead.
What beast?
Revelation 17, 8th king is Satan saying he is God
The truth shall make you free, God uses nature itself to relate something to you because you can identify with the things you can see.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
The word beasts is figuratively used to symbolize various kings, leaders or nations.
It also describes the character of violent and brutal men. (Revelation 17 and 13) (Daniel 7 and 11)

Daniel 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

Bible Study Hour: Mark of the Beast

God said, Blessed are those that wait on Him, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching

Luke 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

39 And this know, that if the good man of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

Mark 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

If the good man of the house had known - "As a master of a family who expected a thief at any time of the night, would take care to be awake, and ready to protect his house; so do ye, who know that the Son of man will come. Though the day and hour be uncertain, continue always in a state of watchfulness, that he may not come upon you unawares." Wakefield.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

What hour?
The hour of temptation = Satan's tribulation
Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

49 And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

That should alleviate a lot of fear in people's minds and hearts, as far as being deceived by the false christ is concerned; for a child in Christ's light of truth is NEVER in the darkness of Satan's lies and deception.
It does matter what hour is on the clock.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Let us observe and know the signs of the coming by studying His teaching, the word of God.
Don't fall asleep at the last hour.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

They that slumber in this stupor and deception and they that be drunken and cannot function mentally.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
