But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you.
All Commentaries on 1 Thessalonians 5:1 Go To 1 Thessalonians 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Of the times and moments. That is, of the day of judgment, of the end of the world, of the destruction of Jerusalem. It is enough to know the time is uncertain, and that death cometh as a thief in the night. (Witham)
When the judgment shall take place the Angels themselves do not know. Perhaps St. Paul, when wrapt up to the third heaven, may have learnt something on this subject; for he was told many things which he could not announce to man; therefore, he says, I need not write to you: it is unnecessary for us to know it. (Calmet)
