I was reading something this morning and this verse was pointed out.
Then I remembered this thread - and that we all have midnight here on this board at different time zones.
Rev 3 v3
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.
But when you look at the verse closely it says " If therefore thou shalt not watch"
surely if we are watching then the verse should mean
If therefore thou shalt watch, I will NOT come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt KNOW what hour I will come upon thee.
and
1 Thess 5 v 4
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Paul is also saying here that we are not in darkness so therefore the day should not surprise us like a thief.
