Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 16:15

15 Behold, I come as a thief . Blessed is he that watcheth , and keepeth his garments , lest he walk naked and they see his shame .

That is, I come suddenly and unexpectedly. See Matth. 24.43, 44. Luke 12.39. 1 Thess. 5.2. Reu. 3.3. It may be understood either of Christ's coming to the last Judgment, or of his coming in his vindicative Providence to be revenged on his Enemies.

He is an happy Man that maketh it his Business to keep himself from Sin, in Prospect of any such Comings,

and that persevereth in my Ways and Truth;

for if he doth not, he will be found one of those that are not clothed with my Righteousness; and his Hypocrisie will appear to all Men.
