) "Keep on the watch,.....Prove yourselves ready," He spoke about no one knowing the day or hour, only the Father. Therefore the admonition to be ready at anytime or any day. He emphasized that in Noah's day they took no note. They said that even among Jehovah's people there is not a sense of readiness. We are getting side-tracked due to the fact that the end has not come yet.
The Bible prophesied the evil slave would be thinking "his master is delaying", proving the Bible prophesied that not only would the apostate temple organization (JWs) not have the correct dating in the last days, or at least the correct understanding. Thinking that the master has not arrived yet has as much to do with having the wrong dating as having the wrong expectation as to how he will arrive, which is doubly why the JWs are still expecting him.
The Bible says that he "comes as a thief" for those with the wrong information, meaning he will have already arrived and robbed them by the time they "wake up". Thus when they finally do get the dating right, they will have discovered he had already arrived secretly, "like a thief in the night" while they were sleep.
