Generally, I’ve read that this information (approach of rapture) was not revealed to us until recently because we couldn’t handle knowing 10 years, 20 years, or even one year in advance. Who would live a normal life if they thought the rapture was in 8 years or even 30 years? Who would plan for college or build a business? The 13th sign of the zodiac was never in the news throughout my long life and yet it’s now popular - information revealed at it’s time, when it’s needed. I’ve also read/watched good arguments for Christians knowing when vs. those who don’t believe, and that those who watch will not be surprised. Before we went to church today, I listened to Christian radio on my way to get bagels. A pastor was explaining how we as believers in Christ are given discernment through the Holy Spirit, so that we have the mind of Christ. It isn't a coincidence that true Christians are of a like mind on social issues and stances on morality. The world is going mad, but believers in Christ are grounded in the truth.
Therefore, I also believe that we know the season and the urgency of the hour, because it says in God's Word:
But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
