Howl ye; for The Day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a
destruction from the Almighty. Isaiah 13:6 ...
"Is
2:12 the day of the LORD. The phrase “day of
the LORD,” (DOL) appears 19 times in the OT (Obad.
15;
Joel 1:15;
2:1,
11,
31;
3:14;
Amos 5:18,
20;
Is. 2:12;
13:6,
9;
Zeph. 1:7,
14;
Ezek. 13:5;
30:3;
Zech. 14:1;
Mal. 4:5) and 4 times in the NT (Acts
2:20;
1 Thess. 5:2;
2 Thess 2:2;
2 Pet. 3:10) to express the time of God’s
extreme wrath. The DOL can refer to a near future judgment (Ezek.
13:5;
30:3) or a far future judgment (Zech.
14:1;
2 Thess. 2:2). Two DOL expressions yet remain
to be fulfilled: 1) at the end of Daniel’s 70th week (see
Joel 3:14;
Mal. 4:5;
1 Thess. 5:2) and 2) at the end of the
Millennium (see
2 Pet. 3:10). The DOL can occur through
providential means (Ezek.
30:3) or directly at the hand of God (2
Pet. 3:10). At times, the near fulfillment (Joel
1:15) prefigures the far fulfillment (Joel
3:14); on other occasions, both kinds of
fulfillment are included in one passage (13:6, 9;
Zeph 1:7,
14). Here Isaiah looks to the far fulfillment
at the end of the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jer.
30:7)." MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The

God's Truth
When Jesus comes again it will be as a thief in the night.
For you (1 Thess 5:2). Not for us.
As a reminder God's Truth is number 39 on
Satan, Inc. (TOL Heretics list) in "The 'Jesus is
not God' people (Non-trinitarians) category.

..."[N]o man knows the day or the hour". However, the "times and seasons"
are known...
Yeppers.
God's Truth
[Thief in the night for you] No, for you, because with the measure you
judge others is the way you will be judged...
That's right.
