Welcome to the Preached Word. While many attempt to pierce the veil of God's sovereignty by setting a date for the Second Coming, the apostle Paul calls us to a grounded and sober eschatology in 1 Thessalonians 5:1–6. Join us as we explore the biblical tension between the unexpectedness of the Lord's return ("as a thief in the night") and the glorious, appointed *long wait* for the gathering of the elect, and what it means to be found faithfully working until that Day.
