Matthew 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go you out to meet him.
The reason why this is raised as an issue is because, in the Bible, the second coming of Christ is always described as occurring suddenly, at midnight, at the break of day, or at a time when most of this earth’s populations, including the righteous, would not be expecting it. It is thus described over and over again to the point where the Christian should stand up and take note. God teaches us by repetition.
Thus, if you were to see something in the scripture being repeated over and over again it just means that God is trying to get our attention on some very important matter. So, let us take a few examples from the Scriptures, before we proceed with the study. What we would be looking for in particular is the recurring element of surprise, and suddenness, as pertains to Christ’s coming kingdom, and the ultimate collapsing of the last earthly kingdom standing.
It is worthy of note that when The Lord came the first time, He also came by night, so it should come as no shock that His second coming will happen at a time when most people are not expecting it. It may now be one minute to midnight, and persons might not know it. Luke 2:8 And there were in the same country some shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Luke 2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
