I Thessalonians 5:1, 2
"Now concerning the times and the intervals, brothers, you do not need me to write." (I Thessalonians 5:1)
Paul had already taught them about the return of Jesus, the signs of his return and the danger of trying to fix a date when it would occur.
"For you all clearly remember that the Day of the Lord comes like a thief at night." (I Thessalonians 5:2)
The Day of the Lord is a Biblical expression for the last days. It includes the return of Christ, the Tribulation and the reign of Christ. Like a thief at night means without warning. A thief does not tell us when he is coming. It does not mean that it will be secret when it happens, just that it will be unexpected before it happens.
