REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Two - The Gathering to Armageddon- Continue

With so much Satantic propaganda around, the next words that John records ae indeed timely: "Look! I am coming as a thief. Happy is the one that stays awake and keeps his outergarments, that he may not walk naked and people look upon his shamefulness." (Revelation 16:15) Who is coming "as a thief"? Jesus himself, coming at an unannounced time as Jehovah's Executioner. (Revelation 3:3; 2 Peter 3:10) While still on earth, Jesus also likened his coming to that of a thief, saying: "Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day  your Lord is coming.  On this account   you too prove yourselves ready, because at an hour that you do not think to be it, the Son of man is coming.  (Matthew 2:42; Luke 12:37, 40) Echoing this warning, the apostle Paul said: "Jehovah's day is coming exactly as a thief in the night.  Whenever it is that they are saying peace and security! then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them." Satan is even now maneuvering the nations toward making that false proclamation of "Peace and security!" -1 THESSALONIANS 5:2, 3.
