“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his
garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

When God’s cause comes to be tried, and His battles
to be fought, all His people shall be ready and be faithful and valiant in His
service (MH)

Garments
are pictures of spiritual and practical righteousness. We are given the
righteousness of Jesus as a garment (Galatians 3:27), but we
are also called to “put on” the nature of Jesus in terms of practical holiness
(Ephesians
4:20-24). Above all, we must not be “naked” - that is, without a covering, or trying to provide our own
covering like Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:7),
which is like filthy rags in the sight of God (Isaiah 64:6). (DG)
