The reference to not knowing the day and hour are an ancient Hebrew idiom for the Day of Trumpets, which comes with the sighting of the new moon that begins the seventh biblical month. The statement was not meant to tell us that we couldn’t know, but exactly why we would know.

Antichrist must be made known at Purim, and there are 1335 days prophesied in Revelation, from then to the First Resurrection at Trumpets.

Yes we will be counting those days, and we will know. That is the purpose of his feasts, to tell his elect when things are going to happen. You should read your Bible more carefully, and you would know too.

But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Matthew 24:36.
Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes. Matthew 24:44.
You know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes. Matthew 25:13.
But of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Mark 13:32.
You know not when the time is. Mark 13:33.

No amount of Hebrew idiom, tradition, or arrogance can explain away what Jesus Himself in Scripture has not only clearly expressed but repeated many times. Nobody including Jesus himself knows when his return will happen except the Father.

So your problems of Scriptural reconciliation remain unresolved:

If you do not know the day or the hour, how can you be counting the prophesied days?

If he's coming as a thief that no one sees, how can he come as lightning for everyone to see?

And then there’s that nasty “wrath” thing.
