Question 1 Report

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garment, lest the walk naked and they see his shame:

Why did Jesus say he will come as a thief?

Answer Details
Jesus said he would come as a thief because he likened his second coming to the way thieves come. No one knows when thieves will come, so people must always be ready and watchful. In the same way, no one knows when Jesus will return, so it's important for people to be ready and watchful. The phrase "blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garment" means that those who are prepared and stay pure will be blessed, while those who are not will be ashamed. This passage is found in Revelation 16:15.
