1Thes.5 [1] But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.How are they to know when he comes?
(what times? What seasons?)
[2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
[3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
[4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
(why will they not be overtaken as a thief? What do they know of that day?)
[5] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
[6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
(what exactly are they to watch for? Do you know?)
[7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
(Obviously this is not a commandment not to sleep, so what is the metaphor here?)
[8] But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
[9] For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
[10] Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
What is going take me over is the under taker; WAY before the Bridegroom cometh.

I've already made my choice; and, unless something unforseeable happens to me; I'll retain that choice.
I have DONE what MUST be done: #277.
