If it was going to be so easy to see, why are we told to be watchful, so as not to miss it?
Rev 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold...
So, let's say, "thief in the night" means, He comes suddenly and no one other than the Father know which day.
1. What difference does it make, whether one watches or does not watch? I suppose there must make a difference to watch, since Jesus emphasized to watch, right?
2. What does He mean by...
Like a thief means that nobody (except the Father) knows the day. Some will be surprised and unprepared (for the judgement - the works will be exposed). To be prepared means to repent, have faith and live righteously like it could happen today.

Yes, a new governmental heavens (Daniel 7:13-14; Psalm 72:8,12-14) over the humble meek who will inherit the earth.
Immortal life for those resurrected to Heaven (Rev. 20:6; 2:10; 5:9-10) to govern over Earth with Jesus for a thousand years for the faithful meek who can gain everlasting life on...
True, there’s still a lot of sin in this world because it’s a fallen world which, according to the scriptures, will be destroyed and replaced with a new heaven and earth (2Peter3:10-13). Jesus is called people out for eternal life there.
You have been fooled.
The end, and new beginning, will be Ragnarok.
Thor is far more powerful then your god.
Jesus came to free us from sin, yet everyday there are more sinners.
Thor came to slay the ice giants. I'm not seeing any ice giants....
Thor with his mighty Mjöllnir gets the job...
That is just a belief, and it does not even say that Jesus will change the universe somehow. I do not think that you understand your own Bible very well.
And why would you trust that source? Scholars are rather sure today that II Peter was not written by Peter.
Actually Christ will intercede before that happens. Christ will dissolve the heaven and earth with great heat and create a new heaven and a new earth where dwelleth righteousness.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great...
No, Jesus did not say that He would come unexpectedly. He said we would not know the day and the hour when the Lord would come.
Jesus is not the Lord and Jesus is not the Son of man that came as a theif in the night. That was another person.
Matthew 24:42-44
42 Watch therefore: for ye know...
No, Jesus never said He, Jesus, was going to return to earth, not once in the entire New Testament.

. . . because you cling to ancient tribal scripture without provenance for answers and choose consistently to ignore the facts of science.
You also fail to deal with the conflicts in scripture:
2Peter3:10, “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away...
So Hebrews tells us that Hebrews 1:10-12 is about Jesus and you say no, only verse 10 is about Jesus and that is a prophecy and is speaking about the new heavens and new earth which Jesus will make and so the tense should be future.
Heb 1 shows us that Jesus is not an angel and is far superior...
When I was addressing the prophetic perfect, it was in regard to Heb. 1:2.
John 1:10 just reiterates John 1:3 and refers to God's word creating in the beginning. Understandable without reading a trinity into the scripture.
Heb. 1:10-13 This is taken from the OT where it was applicable to Yahweh...
It's a bit too abstruse for me. I don't know dative terms, but I do know that some translators believe that Revelation 1:14 refers to Sunday. Although I don't believe the Scriptures really say that. I personally can't figure it that way. Because what John saw in Revelation 1 was a vision. Also...
Actually sis it does not work that way in the Greek. Let me show why if it might be helpful..

Good talking points - The bible states that we'll be baptized with spirit and with fire Matthew 3:10-12 - It also states that Jesus came to send fire on earth Luke 12:49 , which he suggested was his baptism. It also states the elements will melt with fervent heat 2Peter3:10 - It also states...
