2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.



Ver. 2. The day of the Lord] That day, by a specialty, Luk_21:34, that great day, Rev_6:17, that day of the declaration of God’s just judgment, Rom_2:5; Rom_2:16, that day of Christ, 2Th_2:2, of God, 2Pe_3:12, wherein he will show himself to be God of gods and Lord of lords.



As a thief in the night] Who giveth no warning, Mat_24:43. {See Trapp on "Mat_24:43"}
