The Bible cautions believers against speculating about the date and time of the ApocalypseNo it doesn't. It tells us to watch for the signs of it.

No it doesn't. It tells us to watch for the signs of it. Amen!
There are warnings on top of warnings and even what to do (e.g. head for the hills).

It tells us to watch for the signs of it.
And not to speculate.
The two are not contradictory. Predicting the date makes Christians look silly.

No it doesn't. It tells us to watch for the signs of it. Actually, the "be alert" warnings were addressed to those who heard our Lord in first-century Israel. The prophecies of Jesus concerning the end of the Jewish dispensation were fulfilled in 70 AD -- and those who heeded His warnings escaped with their lives.
We, today, look back upon the fulfilled prophecies of our Lord with grateful assurance that the one unfulfilled prophecy -- the final resurrection -- will take place as scheduled. Not to worry.
