No One Knows the Day or Hour of What?

Have you heard that before; “no one knows the day or hour.” But what is it referring to; no one knows the day or hour of what?

Let’s examine the passages and then we will answer the question. 

Matthew 24:36

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Matthew 24:50

The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

Matthew 25:13

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Mark 13:32

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

In reading the passages in context, it is easy to see that Jesus clearly taught that no one knows the day or hour of His return.  But what return is He referring to; His return to the clouds at the rapture, or His return to the earth at Armageddon?

Let’s look at the Matthew passage in context, and the answer is easily seen.

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Again, it is easy to see that Jesus is referring to the rapture when He says no one knows the day or hour—one taken, the other left. This is a truth that I readily affirm and teach; no one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return to the clouds at the rapture.

So if Jesus was referring to the rapture when He said no one knows the day or hour of His return, can we know the day of his second coming at Armageddon at the end of the 7 years?

Yes; absolutely! Think about it; we know that the antichrist takes over the world at the midpoint of the last 7 years. So when that occurs we will know that the Second Coming at Armageddon will occur 3.5 years later. Then all who see the antichrist take over the world can know that Armageddon will be 3.5 years later, and thus all will know the date of the Second Coming of the Lord.

Further if you apply end times parameters, such as the fulfilling of the fall feasts, and that they will align with Second Coming events, one can further conjecture a start date for the last 7 years. All the while, we will still not know the day or hour of Christ’s return at the rapture.  This, as we have already established, will occur at an unknown time after the midpoint and before the end.

Some Christians cannot understand this and label anyone who suggests a possible end times chronology as heretical. In The Coming Epiphany I present the following chart that suggests possible start and end dates for the last 7 years based on aligning Armageddon with the Feast of Trumpets.

Again; this chart aligns Armageddon with the Feast of Trumpets and thus presents possible dates for the start of the 70^th Week—the last 7 years.

 

Further there are several end times parameters that have manifested themselves in recent months, and if we apply those parameters the following three “most likely” scenarios are the result. For a full explanation of these scenarios see the post; Calculations for the "End of Days".

 

Event	Day	Date
Beginning of 70th Week	1	Jul 4, 2016
Seals would start by	1139	Aug 16, 2019
Abomination of Desolation	1230	Nov 15, 2019
Beginning of the rule of antichrist	1260	Dec 15, 2019
Rapture	?	?
Beginning of the bowl judgments	2490	Apr 28, 2023
Armageddon	2520	May 28,2023
Beginning of the Millennium	2565	Jul 12, 2023

Armageddon	2520	Sep 11, 2026
Beginning of the Millennium	2565	Oct 26, 2026

 

From the comments; here is a chart showing the parameters.

Again these are hypothetical most likely scenarios. When we see the Seals opened we will know for sure that we are in the last 7 years.  And when we see the antichrist take over the world we will know that Armageddon will be 1260 days or 42 months, or 3.5 years later. And at the same time we will still not know the day or hour of Jesus’s return, because he will return at an unknown time between the midpoint and Armageddon after the Sixth Seal is opened. BTW; Jesus CANNOT come back today! If you do not believe me, maybe you will believe the church fathers; What the Church Fathers Taught About the antichrist and the Rapture
 
No one knows the day or hour of the rapture, but at some point in time we will know the day and hour of Christ’s second coming at Armageddon.

 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Prophecy Watch: Beware of the Last Golden Gate Crossing on Thanksgiving Day Updated

 

For the last time in many decades, on 11/28/2019, the moon is going to go through the Golden Gate flanked by Jupiter and Saturn. In the past bad events have happened at similar crossings. We know that the evil forces aligned with satan like to do things in alignment with the stars—as above, so below.

For a full explanation of this Golden Gate concept see the post:  The Crescent Moon, Jupiter, Saturn Out of Retrograde and The Golden Gate.

Therefore since this is the last time in many decades that this will happen, the time period around this crossing should be watched for the possibility of a major event(s).
 

In America 11/28/19 is Thanksgiving Day. Several people in the past have had dreams about Thanksgiving Day events.
 

Rick Wiles daughter had a dream that involved cranberry sauce and great destruction coming against the USA. If you are not from America, cranberry sauce is a typical Thanksgiving Day dinner item. Note: cranberry sauce was not specifically mentioned in this account but in a previous account. Here is a link to the 10/17/14 podcast, the pertinent info starts at about the 17:50 mark.
 

http://strength4thejourney.com/interviews-2012-2014/
 

Here is a comment left by Grooms Day Prepper on a recent post about a Thanksgiving Day event:
 

I recall hearing a man call in to Trunews a while back about a vision of a Thanksgiving Day attack along the southern border. The perfect time to attack with many National Guard and Army men on vacation. They over ran the bases, seized the weapons, put up road blocks. Unleashed hell upon all the highways. The way this man told his vision was very feasible and a well thought out military strategy. Could this be the year?
 

Here is a dream account regarding Thanksgiving that I just ran across.
 

Patti Young –“I was given a vision 5 years ago. I was with all of his family eating Thanksgiving dinner. And as we were there, not on exactly Thanksgiving. A major earthquake struck all along the Western coast. It was a 9.1, everything almost destroyed. And my children……….And in this vision, on my left, were 2 Christmas pictures up on the wall. I knew in my spirit, it wasn’t quite Christmas…..I’m praying and asking the Lord to lead me, us. I’m in Southern California, Riverside.”
 

“It struck after Thanksgiving, and before Christmas, the entire coastline destroyed. And shortly after, I had another vision just before I was falling asleep. The statue of Liberty came before me, and then it blew up into hundreds of pieces, and soon after a huge tsunami destroyed New York and parts of the East coast. I saw water and faces of people drowning, I heard them screaming and saw terror in their eyes. Both coasts destroyed. “
 

Speaking of West Coast earthquakes; here is a large earthquake warning for the West Coast. (Note: In the video he provides Black Star alignment dates and says that the alignment dates have been processing, thus we will probably have to move our Nibiru earthquake alignment watch dates.) 
 

 

I have not had much time to check date syncs but here are a few for Thanksgiving Day, 11/28/2019.
 

From the possible start date of the 70^th Week on 10/19/19 to 11/28/19 is 40 days—“yet 40 days and judgment.”
 

From the South American eclipse on 7/2/19 to 11/28/19 is 150 days or 3600 hours or 216,000 minutes. (All the numbers 1 to 36 add to 666, and 6x6x6=216) And on that day it will be 13013013 seconds.
 

From the sign of the woman clothed with the sun on 9/23/17 to 11/28/19; on that day it will be 19111 hours.
 

From the Great American eclipse on 8/21/17 to 11/28/19; on that day it will be 19911 hours.
 

From Election Day on 11/8/16 to 11/28/19 is 1116 days or 3 years 3 weeks.
 

From the installation of the Bel Archway in NYC on 9/19/16 to 11/28/19 is 1166 days.
 

From the last eclipse in the Tetrad on 9/28/15 to 11/28/19 is 50 months.
 

From the Japan earthquake on 3/11/11 to 11/28/19 is 8 years 8 months and 18 days.

From when President Obama sang “Bye Bye Miss American Pie” in front of the Lincoln Memorial on 1/18/2009 to 11/28/19 is 3966 days or 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days, or 130 months and 10 days or 130 months, 1 week, 3 days.
 

From Roe v Wade decision on 1/22/73 to 11/28/19 is 17,111 days.
 

From 7/4/1776 to 11/28/19 is 88,900 days
 

11/28/19 is day # 332 of the year and on 11/28/19 there are 33 days left in the year.
 

It has been reported that as of 11/19/19 the USS Lincoln has entered into the Persian Gulf. Here is an excerpt from a recent post regarding the USS Lincoln.
 

Ask yourself this question; why would a President of the USA stand in front of the Lincoln Memorial and sing Bye Bye Miss American Pie—this will be the day that we die? Hmm…
 

Was it perhaps a signal to a future event that would involve the beginning of the death of America and have a Lincoln connection?  And what Lincoln associated event could bring about the destruction of America?
 

Yesterday I just so happened to read an article at The Big The One that featured several people’s dreams about the destruction of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Lincoln. Here is one of the featured dreams, you can read the rest at this link; The war in Iran will begin after the USS Abraham Lincoln is flooded.
 

Caroline Diadem, June 7, 2019: I saw a war in the oceans - there was some kind of small fleet, and around there were small motor boats.  And there was a conflict outlined.
 

The voice that led me said “Soviet military,” and then added: “Aircraft carrier Lincoln.”
 

And when the voice told me this, I saw that Lincoln was drowning and felt that Iran was somehow involved in this.  Then I heard “submarines,” and my voice said not that they were Russian submarines.
 

Then I saw a huge port area, where there was a kind of parking for military equipment.  I saw a lot of soldiers in NATO uniforms or something.  But then something caught my attention in the sky - it looked like a bright and beautiful cloud formation, which caused me delight.
 

And suddenly I realized that it was an atomic bomb that exploded right above this parking lot.  Everything burned out there and then the voice showed me: “Subversion”.  That is, I think that this will be some kind of sabotage or double-bottom production.
 

There are more Lincoln dreams at the link, but the point is that many have had dreams about the U.S.S. Lincoln being attacked, and Iran has threatened to do the same and produced propaganda films featuring the destruction of an American aircraft carrier.
 

What does all of this mean? I do believe that President Obama singing that song at the Lincoln Memorial is a signal to the destruction of America.
 

End of excerpt.
 

The sinking of an aircraft carrier or two may have been signaled in I Pet Goat II. BTW; from when the USS Lincoln was commissioned on 11/11/89 to 11/28/19 is 30 years 18 days or 360 months and 18 days.

 

Now put this into the equation; In the South China Sea, an underwater explosion of 10-20 kilotons was recorded.  UPDATE No. 3.
 

That is the info I have at this time, if you know of any other Thanksgiving Day 2019 info, please comment below.  Whether or not anything of major importance will occur on Thanksgiving Day is yet to be seen. Remember syncs do not mean that an event will occur only that it may. Will the evil forces aligned with satan use the Golden Gate crossing to bring a destruction upon the world, or will they let it go?

Update 11/26/19

This was just reported by DEBKA

Iran poised to strike US/Israeli targets. US forces gear up for action. USS Lincoln carrier enters the Gulf

The US and Iran ramped up their preparations for direct military engagement on Monday, Nov. 25: A top Iranian general’s threatened to destroy the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Force moved into position opposite central Iran’s coastline..
 

Let's not forget that the Psalm codes suggest that we are in the year that we will see war and or its aftermath; The Psalm Codes: End Times Calculations 2019 to 2026

Jesus CANNOT Come Back Today!

 

It really bothers, and saddens me when I hear Christians say that Jesus can come back today. HE CANNOT! Certain things must occur before Jesus can come back at the rapture. Those things have not happened yet, therefore Jesus cannot come back today or any other day until those things occur.

God clearly tells us this; the Thessalonians basically had this same issue; they either thought they missed the rapture, or that it was about to occur. Here is what God through the apostle Paul told them.

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2 Thes 2

What does God say? Don’t be shaken or troubled that the Day of Christ is at hand. In other words the Day of Christ, which is the rapture event, is NOT at hand—NOT IMMINENT! God told them the rapture cannot happen yet. God then further tells them what must occur before the rapture is at hand—imminent.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2

What does God say must happen before the rapture takes place at the Day of Christ? The “falling away” must occur first, the man of sin—the antichrist—be revealed and the abomination of desolation occur—proclaims himself to be god in the Temple.

1.   Falling away.

2.   antichrist revealed.

3.   Abomination of desolation.

All of that must occur before the day of Christ—the rapture—is at hand or imminent! Those things have not occurred, therefore there is no imminence, and Christ cannot come back today. But what is imminent is the awakening that many Christians are going to have when they find themselves in the midst of major end times events totally unprepared—the church is asleep.

So when you hear someone say or infer that Jesus can come back today try to help them understand that He cannot. BTW; the belief in Imminence is a major pillar to the pre-tribulation rapture theory, when that pillar is removed the theory falls apart. Here is an excerpt from The Coming Epiphany concerning this.

What About Imminence?

Yet another argument put forth by pre-trib adherents is their belief in the doctrine of the imminent return of Christ. They reason that since the apostles were awaiting the return of Christ with great expectancy—and that they may even have believed that Christ could return and the rapture could occur at any time—that nothing has to occur prophetically before the rapture can take place. This includes the peace treaty or any parts of the 70th Week of Daniel.

This is a doctrine that was shown to be false by the apostle Paul himself. In 2 Thessalonians 2:1–3, Paul had to address the Thessalonians concerning a doctrinal problem they had regarding the timing of the Second Coming:

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.

The Thessalonians falsely believed that the Day of the Lord and the rapture were ready to occur (or had already occurred) and that they missed it and were in the Day of the Lord period. Paul told them that they did not miss it. He also told them about two signs that must occur beforehand, namely the great falling away and the revealing of the antichrist.^[1] We have also elaborated on three other signs that need to occur before the Day of the Lord or the Day of Christ: the moon being turned to blood, the sun being darkened, and the prophet Elijah returning to earth. Therefore, since God has made it clear that certain things must occur before the rapture occurs at the Day of the Lord, and since those things have not happened yet, there can be no doctrine of imminence. Christ’s return will not be imminent until the signs mentioned above have first occurred.

Van Kampen elaborates on this point:

The return of Christ has never been truly imminent and will never be imminent until the great tribulation of antichrist begins and the surrounding Gentile nations come together against Jerusalem in the valley of Jehoshaphat. Only then are the elect of God told to look for the sign of Christ’s coming which will be seen in the heavens, but only after the earth is first plunged into darkness by the sign of the end of the age.^[2]

So while the first-century church, as recorded in the New Testament writings, showed a great expectation and anticipation of the return of Christ, the scriptures themselves tell us that the rapture cannot occur at any time, but only after the signs are fulfilled.

End of excerpt

I hope you realize that Jesus CANNOT come back today; after we see the falling away, the abomination of desolation, and the antichrist take over the world, then we can say the rapture is imminent. And when you see Seal 6 opened—the sun darkened, the moon turned to blood, and the stars fall—then go outside and look up, because Jesus will appear in the sky and bring you home.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

[1] Some, in their attempts to bolster the pre-trib position, have claimed that the phrase “falling away” comes from the Greek word rapturem and is better translated “rapture.” Thus, they argue that the verse says that the rapture must precede the coming of the antichrist. In my opinion, this is nothing more than an attempt to make the Word of God say something that it does not. The word used in the Greek New Testament is apostasia, or “falling away,” from which the English term “apostasy” is derived. “Falling away” means to backslide. Backslide from what? From the truth.[1] Thus, the phrase “falling away” means just that—a falling away from the truth; and the verse tells us that this must take place before the rapture and the Day of the Lord.
