This counsel is vital, lifesaving. The ‘day of Jehovah,’ his time for executing judgment, must come unexpectedly, as the inspired apostle said, like a “thief in the night.” It is true that many persons today can see the steady deterioration in the structure of human society, in the very fabric of daily life. Many see the grave crises threatening because of worldwide pollution, because of the expanding human population and because of the growing gap between the “have” and “have-not” peoples of earth. Many even discern a significant decline in the churches. Yet despite all these grim factors, when the ‘day of Jehovah’ breaks on the world scene it will not be expected. Conditions will still allow people who prefer this world’s way to be thinking that “things are going to get better now,” yes, even to express confidence that a brighter future is on its way. In fulfillment of prophecy, God’s action in expressing judgment must spring shut upon them instantly, like a snare.
