                                                                  i.         Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night

1.     Those that are not saved are "in the night"

                                                                 ii.         Verse 4 - you are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief

9.     1 Thessalonians 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. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. KJV
