Verse 10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief.

The day of the Lord's coming is certain, and when it comes it will be as unexpected as the coming of one to steal.

In the which the heavens shall pass away.

At that day the heavens, being set on fire, are taken away with a great noise, and the elements of which they are composed are melted into liquid by fire, and thereby the earth and all the works, both of God and man, therein shall be consumed. This is a fearful statement. We take it as a fact to be however, and refrain from any reasoning thereon. God has spoken.
