Of course, being human, a certain date would add a sense of urgency that we aren’t always able to maintain now.
However, what we should do today is what we should do even if we knew the date certain.
Absolutely - no argument from me on that. I like your “sense of urgency” phrase. Who is doing their utmost continuously? Perhaps Mother Teresa, while she was alive, bless her soul.
Throughout scripture, you find where people were given a last chance to repent and clean up their act.
The people in Moses day had three days to prepare themselves, and then they were to gather at the base of the mountain to listen to God.
Christ many times alludes to the need to be watchful and not be taken by surprise.
Remember the parable of the Ten Bridesmaids. This is just one of many warnings.
Once the door to His Ark closes, those “left behind” will witness the Tribulation in all its fury. A remnant will be protected through it all (see Isaiah 26:20) until Christ sets foot once again on the Mount of Olive.
Matt. 24:22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.”
Now is the time for everyone to become closer to God and live as close to His word as each is able to do.
Matt. 24:13 "...the one who perseveres to the end will be saved."
