I think there’s something in the Bible about no man knowing the day or hour.

You think??? You don't study the scripture???

But you are right...But why do you guys ignore the verses that say we (Christians) will KNOW the TIMES, and the SEASONS??? If you're a Christian, and you love God's word, you will know the times and the seasons when HE shall show up...

“you will know the times and the seasons when HE shall show up...”

That’s because the Bible is very clear on when He shows up. Exactly 7 years after the Anti-Christ signs the peace treaty with Israel. Christians who are alive now will be caught up when Christ returns in the air. Those people who get saved after the peace treaty will know exactly when Christ will return.

The Parable of the fig tree tells us what generation will be alive when Jesus returns. The fig tree came into bloom in 1948 when Israel became a nation (the fig tree has always been the symbol of the nation of Israel).

Matthew 24:32-36

32 Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 33 even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.

While it's true that we don't know the day or the hour we do know the generation.

Millions of Christians have thought themselves to have known the times and seasons including the 1st century Christians. What makes you think you're smarter than all of those escatologists who've preceeded you?
