Belief in the Rapture is closely associated with people who think they know exactly when.

Not knowing the day or the hour isn't just God being mysterious again. You really aren't supposed to know.

We do not know the day or the hour. We are commanded to know the season. As Christ wept over Jerusalem on of the reasons He listed for her destruction was she did not know the time of her visitation.

The day or the hour referred to in Matthew is clearly about the day or hour of the destruction of the “center of the world for the Jews” - and btw, until 69 AD “the Jews” included both the Christ-followers (future Christians) and the Pharisee followers (future modern Jews) as well as Sadducees, Zealots, Essenes etc.

Not at all ... go read some scholarship and find any dispensational premillennialist who teaches date setting.

I can suggest pre-trib.org for a large array of papers/authors of the above persuasion covering a huge array of topics ... including the failings of the "it all happened in 70 AD" view.

At least understand what we believe for your own edification.

Not true. Although I cannot deny that many do, but there are also many who do not claim to know when. They may expect it, but they know they can be wrong.

No, it is not!

Aside from a few oddballs, not a person I know or have heard preach has ever thought they knew exactly when.

Matter of fact, when someone makes that claim, NOBODY I know believes him.

Whenever anyone I know who believes in the rapture hears someone claim they know the exact time, they are immediately branded as a cultist.
