Again you try to take something who will happen at the END of the tribulation and you desperately try to force it to happen before the Tribulation to fit your pet theory.The warning is made in Revelation 3:3.Note the Lord's ''parenthetical warning''(sic) in Revelation 16:15 .... this is His admonition given the reader to be ready [saved] before the tribulation period starts
.... for He will intervene as a thief with no warning to immortalize His true ecclesia keeping the living believers at the time from His unprecedented wrath and judgment to punish a world of those that have refused to believe the truth about Him and who He is
Do you notice in Revelation 16:15 the words used indicate that this is the moment of His coming as a thief.Even with that indication it is impossible for us to determine the precise moment....but that will be in the time when all the armies of the world will be Gathered at Armageddon.
Revelation 16:14-16
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
1 Thessalonians 5:2
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5:4
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Revelation 3:3
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

The Fulfillment of the prophecy is Revelation 16:15 the sentence 'I will' come as a thief is not used anymore but Behold,I COME As A THIEF.
Revelation 16:15
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
