The glorious Return of Jesus, does NOT come as a thief, or unexpectedly. 1 Thess 4:16-17 makes that clear.
How does 1 Thess 4:16-17 make that clear? Are you too lazy to quote scripture and show exactly how you are coming to your conclusions or what?
1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Where does this indicate that He does not come unexpectedly?
If you keep reading from there when Paul talks about what will happen to unbelievers on that day, Paul says He will come as a thief in the night.
1 Thess 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.
Your confusion arises from the AMill belief, the crazy idea that all the end times events happen at once.
I have no confusion. Amil makes sense of all scripture without contradictions unlike your view. LOL at you calling that a crazy idea when you have the crazy idea of the unbiblical, imaginary 7,000 year plan of God which is mentioned nowhere in scripture. And you don't even acknowledge that you leave Satan's little season completely out of that plan as if that time period won't happen.
