I don’t believe so. I think you can get as many people as possible interested in it, but we are all on God’s timeline.

Hard to fool someone that is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. He already knows the date, no matter what we do.

Since no man knows the time, I keep saying that tomorrow is the day, and boom, God cannot allow Jesus to come again... postponing Armageddon. You’re welcome world.

Boom.

I took a page from the Jewish mezuzah they put in their doorways....I have a small sign in mine reading....”perhaps today - come Lord Jesus”....I wanted to see that every time I walked out the door when going off to work.

Of course I'm retired now and more time to spend with the Lord and study. I think when my sister went to be with the Lord a few weeks ago I knew the Joy unspeakable as she was released from her suffering to be with Jesus at last. Although I knew the grief as the day draw to a close the moment the call came she had gone I was sooo Joyful !...unspeakable Joy. Even in the very face of death.

Were I not In Christ Jesus I know I could not have been so elated and joyful. She will not come back but I will go to her and see face to face this same Jesus.
Hallelujah!...Come Lord Jesus!

Who is saying this is an attempt to fool God?

With the attitude you express, all of our prayers are worthless. Because we’re on God’s timetable.

Only the Father knows the time.

Of course, yet we CAN know the "times and the seasons" (I Thess. 5:1). You have to wonder why we have so many verses that admonish us to watch and pray and to "look for and hasten the coming of the day of God" (II Peter 3:11). Why would the Holy Spirit tell us that if there's nothing we can do? We are left here to further the Kingdom of God by spreading the Good News to all the world and to live our lives to bring Him glory.

That ain’t got nothing to do with “hastening” it.

This makes no sense at all. It is speculative at best. Firstly, the premise is Lord Jesus has no fixed date. Granted. Then, it is surmised that We Humans can in fact influence the date of the second coming of our Lord.
A contradiction. If there is no exact date written in stone how can anything humans do influence a deviation from a date that does not exist?
In order for human behavior to influence the Lord there must be a point in time to be influenced.
Personally, I don’t believe that any human today can influence the Lord God or the Lord Jesus.

Amen! I’ve been praying for you and your family. The Lord is “the God of all comfort”.

We won’t know the day but will know the season. Your boom is a dud
