The need for a Christian to be alert did not end early in the Lord's day. In his great prophecy "the sign when all these things are destined to come to a conclusion," Jesus gave a strong warning: "Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows . . . Keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is. But what I say to you I say to all. Keep on the watch." (Mark 13:4, 32, 33, 37) Yes, up to the very hour, each one of us, whether of the anointed or of the great crowd, needs to stay alert and fight against drifting into spirit sleep. When Jehovah's day comes "as thief in the night," may we be found whole awake so that to receive a favorable judgment. - 1 THESSALONIANS 5:2, 3; LUKE 21:34-36; REVELATION 7:9.
