I Come When You Do Not Expect Me

Q

What does it mean, “I come when you least expect it”? it seems to me a lot of people are expecting Him at any time. You can forward a link if you’ve already written a piece on it.

If you’re referring to Matthew 24:44, keep in mind that the timing of that verse is after the end of the Great Tribulation but before the Lord makes His appearance in the sky. At that time relatively few people will be expecting His return, and most of those who do will be dreading it. Matt. 24:30 says all the people of Earth will mourn when they see Him. That’s because they’ll finally realize everything they’ve heard about Him is true and it’s too late to do anything about it.
