On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And no doubt the apostle had told them, as of the coming of Christ, so also of his coming suddenly, which is the meaning of his coming as a thief in the night, Rev. xvi. As the thief usually cometh in the dead time of the night, when he is least expected, such a surprise will the day of the Lord be; so sudden and surprising will be his appearance.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

as a thief in the night--The apostles in this image follow the parable of their Lord, expressing how the Lord's coming shall take men by surprise (Mt 24:43; "The night is wherever there is quiet unconcern" [BENGEL].
