“The day of the Lord” is a phrase found frequently in Old Testament judgment passages. It describes a decisive, “end-time” intervention by God, with a strong emphasis on the negative consequences of disobedience. In 1 Thessalonians 5:2, Paul says that this “day of the Lord” will come suddenly and unexpectedly. He compares this to a thief in the night and a woman who suddenly goes into labor. Paul calls on both the believers in Thessalonica and Christians today to be prepared for the Second Coming of Jesus.
