Bible Study The Beatitudes

.
Rev 16:15 . . Take note: I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all
who are watching for me, who keep their robes ready so they will not need to walk
naked and embarrassed.

Christ's return is commonly spoken of as "soon" but the Bible speaks of it as
sudden and without warning rather than soon.

Matt 24:27 . . For just as the lightning comes from the east, and flashes even to
the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.

"all who keep their robes ready so they will not need to walk naked and
embarrassed" is a colloquialism similar to the old saw: Be careful you don't get
caught with your pants down.

Quite a few people have heard that Christ is returning some day to rule the world,
but they don't worry about it because in the backs of their minds they're pretty
sure it won't happen in their lifetimes. Well; Christ does not admire that attitude
because you just never know when and/or where lightening will strike next.

Matt 24:42-44 . .Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your
Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what
time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would
not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason you be ready too; for
the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

* Beware the wild utterances of prophecy mongers like the Jehovah's Witnesses and
the Seventh Day Adventists lest you find yourself disappointed and very disillusioned.
