It completely violates Mark and Thessalonians. Jesus said he will come like a thief in the night and no one will know when - not even Him. It is extremely clear.

He will come suddenly on a day we know not when, that is true. But perhaps we'll know it's very soon. Others on this thread have pointed to verses that suggest we will. It seems to me that our argument boils down to which position integrates all of Scripture, rather than focusing--and holding doggedly to--only the part about its unknowability. You obviously hold tenaciously to the literal truth of Scripture, but consider the vital importance of doing so for all of it.

By the way, has it occurred to you that you may be mistaken about your insistence on Jesus' claim? You have said repeatedly that Jesus does (present tense) not know when--only the Father does. That was certainly true when He said it--He did (past tense) not know then, but is it still true? Perhaps the Father has since revealed it to the Son; indeed, I would be surprised if He has not! We have no data about that, even though you keep insisting on it. What is your view?
