Jesus gives all kinds of signs to watch for that we are entering the end times.
However, He goes on to say this.....
Matthew 24:32-
32"From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
36"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Jesus is very clear that we can know the season, but not the specifics. Otherwise why would He give us signs and tell us to be on guard?
I have no doubt that we are in the end as He warned about, but anyone who claims to know more specifically, as in the day or hour, is wrong. Just as those who claim we can't even tell the age are wrong.
You will not expect it. No matter how much you are on your guard, if you knew the hour you would have stayed awake. The day and the hour is an analogy - no matter how on guard we are we cannot stay awake forever, and it will come in a time UNEXPECTED.
The fact that the less rational among us have FOR MORE THAN A THOUSAND YEARS said that the time was upon us adds to the din.
Hard to listen for the “barking dog” to warn you of the thief in the night when that damn dog barks EVERY night.
