Jesus here warns that something similar can happen today. The priests and the Levites foreshadowed Jesus' anointed brothers. (1 Peter 2:9) But Jesus' warning applies by extension to the great crowd too. The outer garments here referred to identify the wearer as a Christian witness of Jehovah. (Compare Revelations 3:18; 7:14.) If any allow the pressures of Satan's world to lull them to sleep or into activity, they are likely to lose these outer garments-in other words, lose their clean identification as Christians. Such a situation would be shameful. It would put one in danger of losing out completely.
