The end is near

The passage discusses how: 1) The day of the Lord will come suddenly like a thief in the night to those who are unprepared. 2) Believers should stay awake, sober, and ready by having faith, love, and hope so they are not surprised by his coming. 3) They should encourage each other as they wait patiently for the Lord's return, which is near.

1 Thessalonians 5: 1-12
Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, Peace and safety, destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lords coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lords coming is near. 9 Dont grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
Are you ready for Him to return? What will you be found doing when the Lord returns?
