John Gill · Matthew 24:49

The lord of that servant,.... Not by redemption and grace, but by creation and profession,

shall come in a day when he looked not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of: suddenly and unexpectedly: such was his coming in wrath and vengeance on the Jewish nation; and such is his coming oftentimes by death; and such will be his coming at the day of judgment.
