Why will many not be prepared for this event?

Answer

"But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to smite his
fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he
looks not for him. And in an hour that he is not aware of, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his
portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matt. 24: 48-51.
