We do not know exactly when Christ will return.
"When shall these things be?" (Matthew 24:3)
A. Though it is not for us to know the day or the hour .....
Matthew 24:36,44; 25:13 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Mark 13:32,33 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Anyone who claims to know the specific day and hour that Jesus is returning is automatically to be considered wrong. Many cults have made predictions of specific dates for Christ’s return, and all of them have turned out to be wrong. Even those, professedly within the evangelical church, have brought great harm by insisting they knew the specific time of the return of Jesus. Don’t be fooled or deceived by such.
B .... we should be aware of the "times and seasons" and thereby know that His coming is near.
1 Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
Matthew 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
