Special concepts in this chapter

Day of the Lord

The exact time of the coming day of the Lord will be a surprise to the world. This is what the simile "like a thief in the night" means. Because of this, Christians are to be prepared for the coming of the Lord. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/dayofthelord and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)

Quench the Spirit

This means to ignore the Holy Spirit's guidance and to ignore the work he is trying to do through a person.
