"He had come like a thief in the night." is taken from the Bible, specifically Thessalonians 5:2. It refers to the second return of the Lord (Jesus), that means another one from the one we know. The first one is his rebirth after beeg crucified. He will return as "a thief in the night" because we don't know when it will happen, he won't announce it.

Answer:

Engaging in new experiences and interactions with a variety of people can help you develop a more complete and healthy self-concept.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Hello! Your answer would be, BELOW

Explanation:

Application of heat to certain substances causes only physical changes in which no new substance or substances are formed. Application of heat to some substances causes chemical changes, or chemical reactions, in which one or more new substances are formed, with different properties from the original. Heat energy manifests itself as the random jostling motions of molecules in matter; as the temperature of a substance increases, its molecules vibrate and bounce with more energy and at faster speeds.

This world was being watched keenly and closely only intelligences greater than Mans'a and yet as mortal as his own
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

pa brainliest answer po follow me follow back and pa heart po thankssssss

Explanation:

no one would have believed in

he last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutnised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable.
