Surrounded by pictures of her loving family, Strydom’s mother, Martie Strydom, said that the illness creeps (lẻn vào, ập đến) up like a thief in the night.

She took her own life before she could be executed, but was still burned at the stake. However her remains were snatched (bị vồ lấy) by a thief in the night sometime in the 1860s.

Speaking of “global warming,” the Bible has a global “warming-warning” of its own: “the day of the Lord will come (đến, giáng lâm) as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent (sôi sùng sục) heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up (bị thiêu đốt).
