The sun, moon and even the stars will have previously gone dark, the whole atmosphere will roll back like a scroll and every eye will see Him just as the Bible says. When the Lord returns for us, His coming will illuminate the whole earth.
Jesus will be coming “like” a “thief in the night” in that “He will take the world by surprise” when He comes to get His church. Anyone would know when someone came in or out, including in the night. In the day and age of Jesus and the apostles, most people lived in one or two room houses. This phrase is not about the Lord being like “the kind” of a “thief” that would come in the night by sneaking in and sneaking out. The true meaning is to “take by surprise.” And the Lord makes it clear to His church through His Word, that He does not want us to be taken by surprise but on the contrary for us to be faithful, alert and watching. This is a false interpretation of what the Bible means. Jesus is coming and as a “thief in the night.” The biblical terminology about “coming as a thief in the night” is used by many to say or imply that Jesus is coming like the kind of thief that afterward, no one will even know He came and snuck away with His church.
