that would warrant calling himself a thief?

He steals nothing. He can give a life and He can take it away, if you call it stealing. It just means that there is no warning when He comes. There are signs, but no one know the exact time. We are just asked to be ready. : )

As a thief in the night, is when you are not expecting it. Jesus will steal nothing.

Like a thief, not as a thief. Meaning you will not know when he is coming back, just as you do not see a thief coming to steal from you, or he wouldn't be a very good thief.

How did Paul initiate the church whilst the great message replaced into approximately Jesus. Jesus gained a lot of people over to his message till now Paul even have been given started. additionally the "international" calls it and titles it faith whether it is faith. no person has to have self belief. We get to have self belief!

A thief comes when one least expects. Christ will come likewise. That's the point.

It means he is coming unexpectedly. You do not expect a thief. So he is coming very subtly, very quiet, very unexpected. He is not going to steal anything. Only the enemy of your soul comes to steal, kill, and destroy. This being Satan or the devil.

Just pray that you have a death that is prepared for. Too many people think they will repent right before they die but increasingly people are dieing with no time to do anything.

He's going to "steal" (as in take willingly, not forcefully) all the Christian on Earth, and take them to Heaven.

He has already done it to the Christians - taken their ability to think rationally and tolerate anyone who does not follow their religious beliefs.

He didnt mean it literally. He meant that he would come at a time least expected to take us christians back to heaven.
