I understand that is the interpretation of "no one knows the day or the hour", perhaps two verses in the entire Bible yield that interpretation.
But then what about "when you see these things happen look up for your redemption draws nigh" or "3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee."
Or how about the "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." and "But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up."
and why is it that every time the Lord tells us that we don't know the day or hour He says that we need to watch therefore? "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh." and "Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is." and "Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:" and "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."
We learn that it was the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks that were given the heads up that Jesus was born.
We are also told "
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them." and "
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants."
In Hebrews we are told that Jesus is the same today, yesterday and forever and we know that in the Old Testament God didn't do anything without telling His prophets. We are also told that God tells us the end from the beginning because He alone is God and it is proof that He alone is God and we were told the day and hour that Jesus would be crucified, raised from the dead and ascend to heaven from the Holy Convocations that God instituted.
So yes, I am aware of the two verses that say we won't know the day or hour, but I am also aware of all the other verses on this subject and that Peter told us no verse is of its own interpretation. Everything must fit together.
Jesus told us it would be as the days of Noah and Lot. Yes, the people at those times did not know when it was coming. But Abraham did, Lot did, and Noah did. Being clueless only applies to those who are drunk on the world's stupefying wine.
The Lord rebukes those repeatedly who are caught by surprise
"And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation."
