John Trapp on 1 Thessalonians 5:4

Verſe 4. Should overtake you as a thief] Though it come upon you as a thief in a time uncertain. Free you are from the deſtruction of that day, though not altogether free from the diſtraction of it, till ſomewhat recollected you remember that now your redemption draweth nigh. Hence the Saints love Chriſts appearing, 2 Tim. 4 8. Look for it with ſtretcht-out necks, and long after it, Rev. 22.20.
