Revelation 16:15 Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. Before the success of this hellish negotiation, we have in this verse a warning word to watch and keep our garments. Behold, I come as a thief. The second coming of our blessed and beloved Lord Jesus Christ will be as a thief; that is, unexpectedly, \ as a thief in a dark time, in a midnight dispensation of great darkness. \ By keeping our garments we may understand, first, keeping our gospel profession unspotted of the world. \ Secondly, keeping the faith. \ Keep thy self-pure; white, and clean; which is the righteousness of saints, \ Lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. The scandalous sins and disorderly walking of gospel professors discover their nakedness to the men of the world, who see their shameful behaviour, and sinful conversation, to the dishonour of God, and shame of their profession.
