But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. I Thessalonians 5:1-5

Just as the bridegroom would appear to his betrothed with a shout, so the Lord will appear to us! We, as His bride-to-be, should be on the alert, waiting for His return.
There are literally hundreds of signs in the sky, lights and blood moons, planets lining up as though the entire universe is expecting the Lord Jesus to come for His people. The multitudes on the earth are like an angry mob hating anyone who is a believer, and lawlessness is breaking out like a plague.
As darkness falls upon the planet, the light and glory of God shines upon all who love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ! The time is near, don't be surprised when the trumpet sounds and you hear a shout! "Behold, the bridegroom!"
Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore, comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. I Thessalonians 5:6-11
