The Unexpected

Acts 1:9-11, Matthew 24:29-31, Revelation 1:7, and Thessalonians 1 4:16-17
Many hours brake upon us with the unexpected sorrow, tribulation, or great joy. The hour will come upon the great masses of the world because they don’t expect Him. Only 2 really looked for him to appear the 1st time.

I: Signs of his 2nd coming:
1. Times of distress among the nations.
2. The love of many shall wax cold.
3. Strange things happening to the world.
4. As in the days of Noah, (Preoccupied).
Eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage.

II: These Things Shall Happen When He Comes:
1. “This same Jesus will come in the same manner.” Acts 1:9-11.
2. “The voice of the archangal, and with the trump of God.” Thessalonians 1 4:16.
a. “The dead in Christ shall rise 1st.”
b. “Then we which are alive.”
3. “The Lord will come to settle all accounts and balance all books.” Thessalonians 1 1:7-10.
a. Vengeance upon those that know not God & refuse to obey the gospel.
b. “Glorified in his saints.”
4. “He shall separate the people like a shepherd separates his goats from his sheep.” Matthew 25:32.

III: “What manner of person ought ye to be?” Peter 2 3:11.
1. Shall we act like the servant that thought the master would never come home?
2. Shall we sleep like the foolish virgins?
3. Do we dare wait for that hour unprepared, (L.A makes plans for H.B)?
4. Will he find our hearts cold and our work undone?

“Careless soul, oh, heed the warning.”
