1 Thessalonians 5:3 - Additional Comments

They live as Solomon once said, "So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry." (Eccl 8:15) That is only temporary, and in an instant will go away. They don't fear it, especially thinking it won't come, but if they could look at it beforehand they sure would. And it will come upon them. They will have no shelter from this storm.
