The Lord of that servant will come in a day when
he
looketh not for him
For, not coming as was expected, he gives over looking, and
concludes he will not come at all; in which he will find himself
mistaken, for he will come in the very day which is appointed,
though men know not of it, and do not look for it:
and at an hour when he is not aware;
for as neither the day, nor hour of Christ's coming are known to
any man, it becomes men to look for it every day and hour, lest
it come upon them unawares; as it will, on such evil servants
before described, with whom it will go ill, as follows:
and will cut him in sunder, and appoint him his portion
with
unbelievers;
whose portion is the lake which burns with fire and brimstone,
which is the second death, ( Revelation
21:8 ) and by these are meant, not only the Heathens, who
never heard of Christ; nor the Jews only, who disbelieved the
Messiah, and rejected him when he came; but all deists and
atheists, who deny revelation; even all unbelievers of, and
scoffers at the coming of Christ, and who put away the evil day
far from them; compare with this ( Job 20:29 ) (See Gill
on Matthew
24:50), (See Gill on Matthew
24:51).
