"He had come like a thief in the night." is taken from the Bible, specifically Thessalonians 5:2. It refers to the second return of the Lord (Jesus), that means another one from the one we know. The first one is his rebirth after beeg crucified. He will return as "a thief in the night" because we don't know when it will happen, he won't announce it.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:Nonverbal Transitions

Explanation:Transitions during a speech delivery may make a speaker look more eloquent.

It also help to keep the audience focused and not falling asleep.

Non-verbal transitions include things like:

1) Pausing with your voice. This is very important to maintain and not let it get out of hands because if it is constant it may make you seem like you have lost the sequence of your thoughts This one overdone can seem like you have lost your train of thought. It is very effective thought if you have given your audience a thought provoking statement , that pause moment will make them reflect for that moment on what you just said.

2) Your body movement on the stage. This is also a non verbal transition

3) Using your fingers to count off points.
