No one knows but the Father...
Will He let us know?
“But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers of the heavens, but My Father only. (Matthew 24:36)
YHWH is in total control of what has happened, what will happen and what is yet to occur. He has told us all these things before hand so there would be no doubt as to who He is, and that we should not make the same mistakes as those who have gone before us. Remember it was Satan who successfully used 'doubt' against Eve in the Garden.
I understand why we ought not know the day and hour else we live our lives as we see fit up until that day, pre-printed on our Gregorian calendars, with a reminder to ask for forgiveness a day or two beforehand. Yah has given all people every opportunity to return to Him, but has also set time limits: The Day and The Hour, which refer to the return of His Son and all that goes with that event.
Matthew 24:42 ~ Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Master (Y'shua) is coming.
This sign: "And when you see the sign of uncleanness (abomination) and desolation which will stand in the Set Apart place - those in Judea should flee to the mountains" triggers the final 3-1/2 years.
The Day will be after the Seventh Shofar is sounded which signals Y'shua returns to this earth:
Immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shine its light, and the stars will fall from heaven and the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then will be seen the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and all the tribes of the land mourn when they see him who comes upon the clouds of heaven with great power and glory. He sends his Messengers with a large trumpet (shofar) and they will gather his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other, the entire earth.
Those of us who continue in our study of scriptures and heed His Instructions and follow in the footsteps of His son will recognize all the signs and warnings given his people - we will know when the day has come. We can already relate our day and age to how it was in the days of Noah; and the days of Lot and life in Sodom and Gomorrah. There are also clues we discern by the visions Daniel was given. In a general sense we are closing in on that day; but specifically there are definite signs that have yet to happen - so we watch.
We are told to 'keep watch' because we do not know the exact day or the precise hour (Matthew 25:13). Knowledge of the day and hour is just outside our perception, but as we pay attention and continue to shine His Light onto current events it becomes more clear, until The Day is obvious and The Hour is unmistakable.
Halleluyah!
With all the above taken into consideration
most folks overlook what Y'shua said in Revelation 3:
Awake
and preserve the things that remain.
which are ready to die,
for I have not found your works complete before Elohim.
Remember therefore
how you have received and heard;
and observe those teachings, and turn back.
IF then you will Not Wake Up
I will come upon you as a thief
and you will not know at what hour I will come....
