This one is EASY!
Since we'd divided the world up into TIME ZONES for our clocks, there are at least 24 DIFFERENT 'hours' and 2 DAYS in existance, RIGHT NOW, on any place on earth.
So unless we'd ALL use UTM (which we don't) it is scientifically IMPOSSIBLE to know the day or hour.
Excellent observation. We can always count on you to point things like that out.

As I was saying in my previous post -- it seems that the people of that time (when Jesus was around) would understand that phrase as an idiom pointing to one of the Seven Festivals of the Messiah (as I pointed out in another post, Post #202) -- The Feast of Trumpets. It was the one in which no one knew the day or hour of its coming... you see... :-)
Jesus is fulfilling the Seven Festivals, and has progressed through the first few (the Spring Festivals) and He has the later Festivals to fulfill in His ministry, the Fall Festivals.
The Feast of Trumpets points to the Rapture and it's the next one on the list for Jesus to fulfill in His ministry... the one in which "no one knows the day or hour" ... you see ... :-)
