[Cronos]

you wrote Nobody knows the day or the hour but those who diligently study the signs in heaven, on the Earth and in the seas, like the sons of Issachar, they will understand the season of our deliverance.

From where is the underlined piece?

Mark13:32 says “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.

can't see anything about the "sons of Issachar"

While nobody can know the exact hour and day Luke 21 gives multiple sights to look for to know Christ’s return is drawing near. Jesus concludes by saying: “Luke 21:28 (ESV): Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” Matthew 24 covers much the same territory but I believe the passage in Luke is clearer.

> can’t see anything about the “sons of Issachar.”

Of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command; I Cron. 12:32

The sons of Issachar could interpret the signs, times and seasons so that Israel would be prepared. In the same way Christians can be given insight by God under the banner of the sons of Issachar, in order to prepare the Church.
