"The secret things belong to to God""Concerning that day and hour, noone knows, neither the angels in Heaven nor the Son, but only the Father."Sometimes revelation is given from God to His servants. But sometimes it's more of a case of a Christian speaking out of their own "viewpoints " and mindset and stating things according to how "they" see it, not actual revelation from God. Like, for years now, I've heard tv evangelists .sating , "Oh beloved, I don't see how we can have more than {states a very short amount of time.} Well that time comes and goes, in fact, many years have passed since each of them have said that, , but although they had said,"We're living in the last of the last days. Trust me when I say, before this year is out, we'll be home in Glory."that was like 20 years ago, some more, and if they "knew" why are we still here? I think that has a bad effect on us, because when the world sees that, it gives them more ammunition against us. Others have actually set dates of Jesus' coming, claiming they put some numbers together and came up with the time. Trying to figure out with mans wisdom Gods plans. "Concerning that day and hour NOONE KNOWS, neither the angels in Heaven nor the Son.BUT ONLY THE FATHER."I think Christians trying to "calculate"Gods plans by stringing figures together, or by their "feelings" on it, should take heed. It's not revelation, it's just mans attempts."The secret things belong to God."Agree?

Day and hour know man knows but discerning the times we are commanded to know -- …55 "And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is. 56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time? 57 And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?" (Jesus, Luke 12:55-57).

But from time to time I hear some of them actually set a specific date,then when the time comes and goes...
My heart is full of praise to Jesus because He can change, He can move and He can come to us and make us just like Him. O God, save those lost souls who overstep their responsibilities. We pray for all in government who are atheists, agnostics and socialists. Save them all we pray. Amen
My dear friends,we are now God's children,but it is not yet clear what we shall become.But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him,because we shall see him as he really is. Everyone who has this hope in Christ keeps himself pure,just as Christ is pure 1John 3:2-3.So then,have your minds ready for action. Keep alert and set your hope completely on the blessing which will be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed 1Peter 1:13..You also must be patient.Keep your hopes high, for the day of our Lord's coming is near James 5:7-8.To God be the glory. Amen

O Lord, give us wisdom to each one of us. When we read, when we speak, when we visit our unsaved loved ones, to share the Lord above all things. Unsaved people have their viewpoints so different than ours and some of them are going to hell without warning them they are on the road to destruction. Yes, no one knows when Jesus will come, but we are waiting for Him. Everyone should know this. Specially our unsaved loved ones and friends. Dear God, help us not to overstep our role but to be just like You are. Holy and pure. Showing others the road that leads to heaven. Jesus said. I am the Door.... Yes, Jesus is the Door to enter heaven.

Yes, again, day and hour no man knows, but discerning the times we are commanded to know. Paul tells is also, besides Jesus in Luke above, as well as why would prophetic and apocalyptic passages like Matt 24 and entire scrolls like Daniel and Revelation be written if we were not to gain insight from them?

Another thing they do is, how many times I have heard or read that Christians who don't like some things about a certain well know figure, say they've "added up numbers" and it adds up to 666, and therefore, that person is the Antichrist. But at some later date,the person dies{not the mortal wound that was healed, but dies "for good"}is buried without further incident, etc.Then another one claims another one is the Antichrist, and so on.

Bang on! It is pointless. All of the people who have preceded us, shows me that the odds are greater that that we will die before the endtimes. It's better in the here and now to have your lamp burning brightly with the Spirit than worry about an endtime belief. At the risk of being a little controversial, the bible teaches us that we are all appointed to die once. I will meet Jesus then. Praise God!
The Lord's coming is very near !
