![]() So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 1 Thessalonians 5:2 states, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. You are all children of the light and children of the day. ![]() Jesus’ Second Coming should not surprise the faithful believer:īut you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. The prophecies were being fulfilled in front of our eyes. You don’t want to be left behind I remember hearing this teaching when I first came to faith in 1971. He could come at any moment, without any warning, so stay alert. Unless I’m mistaken the man of sin/lawlessness is in 2 Thessalonians. So, too, our High Priest is coming and expects to find His people working in faithful obedience. Jesus is coming like a thief in the night, so be ready. If not, the sleeping priest would wake up to his clothes on fire (see Revelation 16:15). He hoped to find the priest on duty, alert, aware, and carrying out his tasks. So, the captain of the guard or the High Priest himself would sometimes come in quietly to check on things – like a thief in the night. It was a temptation for the priest to fall asleep during the night. In the temple, the priest on duty was to make sure that the sacrifices were completely consumed at the end of the day, and ensure that the fire burned all night in order to be ready for the next day’s sacrifices. In Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 5 (as well as others), a Hebrew idiom is being used. The same is true for this phrase in today’s devotional. In short, this saying means that Jesus will specifically return at a future Feast of Trumpets or on Rosh Hashanah. When Jesus comes to Rapture the church, it will be sudden and secretive, like a thief in. We learned that this is actually a Hebrew idiom, a figure of speech. This is all explained in my book on Revelation, but let me summarize. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him”.įor those of you who read my last devotional, The Search for Truth, you know that we studied Matthew 24:36, which stated that no one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return to earth. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. This verse as well as Matthew 24:42-44 (and other passages) are cited to defend the viewpoint that no one will know when He will return: Most of my extra-biblical resources interpret this saying at face value. I have to say that I had a difficult time finding the origin or meaning of this saying, the analogy that Jesus will return “ like a thief in the night”. Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,įor you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. The Coming of Christos, A Christmas Devotionalĭo we take this at face value or is it an idiom?. ![]() ![]() So we can safely say the rooms would still be there. What's interesting in the silo pictures is that the structural beams for the catwalks are mostly steel beams (some of which show some rust already), but the main structure of the rooms themselves are concrete, and the beams close to them are either in concrete or thickly covered in some type of water-resistant and temperature-resistant material (I've been told this is a multi-layer substance with kevlar at one point, but don't ask me how I know that. Depending on where the water table is, water leaking through the concrete after five hundred years could get onto structural beams and start to rust them. The control for temperature is much better, but water is a significant issue underground. Unlike this house however, the Black Mesa facility is underground - just like the silo. Notice anything? The main supports are all similar to the main supports in the silo, just with padded with concrete (to prevent temperature and water differences). what would it be like?

Also, these things take a long time to build, so even if it had 1990s era computers in it, the structure would have begun earlier. ![]() Although this facility was built in the 1960s, the structural integrity is about that of what I would expect from the 1990s. Many of the structures, ramps, catwalks, etc are all similar to what you see in the Half Life game (or rather vice versa - the developers apparently did their research!). ![]() For sake of real-world comparison, I'll have you look at this abandoned nuclear missile silo (which is currently for sale for $4.2M if you really want it).
