Commentary on Matthew 24:42
Jesus' command 'Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come' emphasizes vigilance due to uncertainty. 'Watch' means spiritual alertness, moral preparedness, and faithful service. The uncertainty 'ye know not what hour' prevents complacency—we must live ready for Christ's return at any moment. This isn't anxious fear but joyful anticipation motivating holy living. Date-setting is forbidden; readiness is commanded.
