oh i need time to think about it but i will as i type. sorry in advance for bad sentence structure.
i also need to refine the idea but this is the basics of it. also if you have anything to add to this idea or what not please share your thoughts.

the subject is about the end times and jesus coming again.

why would no one know when J is going to come again? look at the Matthew 24:43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into

think of Jesus as the thief and Satin as the house owner. and think about a world where we knew when Jesus was coming, looked at a perspective from a house being broken into. (remember that i'm typing as i think)

say (HYPOTHETICALY) jesus was going to take us at midnight tonight while we were sleeping and he didn't tell satin, but J told you. later on as you lived satin eventually deceived you into telling him. well i'm sure satin would call his night watchers around the house [demons] to keep jesus out like crazy (in essence keeping you from knowing about God thus learning ect.) keeping the "thief" out [of your heart].

If American knew that Russia was going to attack us at this very moment we would have all of our forces set at either defense or offense against that nation.

Now, we dont know when Jesus is coming so we must keep alert and let him in the back door of the house while satin is busy doing other things and can't get to us. because if we let jesus in our own hearts then we will naturally affect others.

But just as you don't worry your lifes about when a theif is going to break in your house in literal terms, you should not worry, unless you dont have jesus the way you should.

what if jesus is waiting one more day so that that extra person could have time to get to Him?

Dont waist your time worrying if he is going to "rapture" us or if he is going to snatch us away... because the chance of your body dieing before jesus comes is greater than if he does, and in this world you have too great a chance to die because of cars and whatnot. dont push God away anymore than you have already neither of us knows how much time we have left.

idk how this came to me (we could guess and get the same answer) but it just did and it makes sense to me.

um I don't really like that analogy sorry, gives satan too much power and God not enough credit.

why would Jesus have to "fight" his way in when his mere presence or the mention of his name is enough to make demons cower for mercy.


satan could be told the hour as well beforehand but he cannot take those who have been predestined by God to salvation.

yeah i didn't word everything right. i was strugling for words then and i was still gathering my thoughts... that is true about just saying His name and demons getting scared.
