I’m not feeling any of the Chesed of Yah'shua in these comments. I sense the hypocrite monster at work.
We as followers of the Christ are required to recognize the "signs" of the times starting in Matthew 24:32 discussing the Fig Tree.
Anyone who suggests a date for Christ’s return is a false teacher. That we know for sure.

Start by turning away from counter-reformation Jesuits. Rav Sha'ul's charge to Timothy
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach NAsbU 2 Timothy 4:1 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:
May you find Yah'shua in His Word.
2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
(TC) "Anyone who suggests a date for Christ’s return is a false teacher. That we know for sure."
How in the world does one come to the conclusion that recognizing the "signs" of the times is suggesting a date for Christ's return is beyond me. Geezz..
Let's look at Scripture.
1 Peter 1:10,11
10 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11 searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. (emphasis mine)
We see clearly in Scripture that the prophets of old inquired and searched out what manner of time the Spirit of Christ was indicating when He testified of things to come! We have the example of these prophets that we are to seek out the season the Spirit is speaking about regarding the last days. Let's read the words of Paul.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-4
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. (emphasis mine)
We are not in darkness, the Day of the LORD is not to overtake us as a thief. This is because we are AWARE of the times and seasons the Spirit speaks of through the Word of the LORD.
Yah'shua went through great lengths to educate His disciples of the times and seasons, and to prepare them. To disregard the Scriptures and the words of our Savior is horrific and utter folly.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Shalom
