Compare all
13 And I saw three unclean aspirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of bthe dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of cthe false prophet.  
14 For they are spirits of demons, aperforming signs, which go out to the kings1 of the earth and of bthe whole world, to gather them to cthe battle of that great day of God Almighty.  
15 a“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, blest he walk naked and they see his shame.”  
16 aAnd they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew,1 Armageddon.  

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, a“It is done!”  
18 And athere were noises and thunderings and lightnings; band there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake cas had not occurred since men were on the earth.

Revelation 16:15

Behold, I come as a thief (idou erxomai wv klepthv). The voice of Christ breaks in with the same metaphor as in Revelation 3:3, which see. There comes one of seven beatitudes in Rev. (Revelation 1:3; Revelation 14:13; Revelation 16:15; Revelation 19:9; Revelation 20:6; Revelation 22:7, Revelation 22:14). For grhgorwn (watching) see Revelation 3:2, and for thrwn (keeping), Revelation 1:3.

Lest he walk naked (ina mh gumnov peripath). Negative purpose clause with ina mh and the present active subjunctive of peripatew, and note predicate nominative gumnov (naked).

And they see his shame (kai blepwsin thn asxhmosunhn autou). Continuation of the final clause with present active subjunctive of blepw. Asxhmosunhn is old word (from asxhmwn, indecent, I Corinthians 12:23), in N.T. only here and Romans 1:27, a euphemism for thn aisxunhn (Revelation 3:18).
