Ah, but we will know the signs and the seasons.

Again, hundreds of thousands of Christians in the first century, the third century, the eleventh century, the sixteenth century, the nineteenth century, 1914, 1939, 1945, 1991, etc. all thought they were unerringly reading the signs and the seasons.

We don't know when He will come again - and it shouldn't matter, because we should love and honor Him every day regardless of that day's proximity to Armageddon. Obsession with signs is spiritually unhealthy (how did Christ describe the generation which sought for a sign?) and mentally unhealthy too (if you examine the rest of this thread, you'll see some of the most demented twistings of Scripture I've ever witnessed).
