>> The Bible clearly states one can know the signs and the season of the end times, <<
Actually, it says PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE:
“It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.” — Acts 1:7
“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only... Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” — Matthew 24:36, 44
Many people interpret Matthew 24:32-33 as meaning that you CAN and SHOULD know when to expect the end times (”From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates.”) But these happenings are to confirm his prophecy regarding the end of the world, not signal the end of the world. After all, it seems to many like “these things” refer to the end of the world. Not hardly!
Christ describes all manners of signs that will NOT mean the end of the world (vs. 4-14). But he warns they do NOT mean the end of the world. (vs. 25-26, 46-44). Then, he describes how, instead, the end of the world will be fast as lightning (vs. 27)
Granted, since he uses a colloquialism (”at the gates”), it’s easy to misread him as saying he is about to come, supposing that “at the gates” means “about to leave.” But what it really means is that he is protecting the church amidst all the turmoil.
Actually, it says PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE:
No, it doesn't. It says that those in darkness won't see it coming. Those that are of the light will know:
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
(e-sword:KJV)
The times and seasons are the Holy Days of Yahweh, and one of them is known as 'the day that no man knoweth.'
It is unfortunate that one came who had the hubris to think to change the Holy Days - That is why those in darkness will not know... And the Holy Days did *not* change, as those who sought to change them did not have authority to do so.
