A GROOM OR A THIEF?
As we all know there is a huge difference
between a groom and a thief, in fact this two terms don’t relate at all. What I
mean is we don’t normally use this terms in one context most of the time. Unless the thief stole something that
belonged to the groom. Or something that goes like that.
I believe the reader don’t expect me to list out differences between a groom and a thief because it is obvious. What I am about to list out is how the BIBLE uses this two different terms to explain a single phenomenon that will take place on the days to come.
In a
common sense we expect the BIBLE to use this terms “groom” and “thief” in a
compare and contrast way or somehow create an argument on each other. But the
case is it used them to describe the same event in the same way. What is this
phenomenon? It is the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The BIBLE
tells us that the when Jesus comes back for the second time, he is going to
come as a thief. And in other part of the BIBLE we see prophecies of Jesus
coming back again as a groom to take his bride, the Church.
Now this
may create a confusion. Is Jesus coming back like a groom or like a thief?
The answer
in my point of view and according to the BIBLE is both, He is coming back like
a groom and like a thief. Point is it’s not for everyone that this rules both
apply. For some, he is coming back as a groom, and for some he is coming back
like a thief.
