We see Christ saying in not once or twice but in many ways and places of the day and hour of His coming.

Matthew 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Matthew 24:42
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Mark 13:32
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Luke 12:39
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

So is it clear the meaning of what Christ says, or is there a reason that many put dates and times for the Second Coming of Christ?

It is perfectly clear: NO MAN KNOWS THE HOUR, DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR, DECADE, CENTURY OF HIS RETURN. ONLY GOD KNOWS!

They should not put a date when Christ returns for it was not given to them by God.

And it makes Christianity look bad.

Hypocrisy is already making many people to look at Christianity in a bad way.

Some people are saying the Bible as the Christians interpret it is not for modern times.

Some people in Science are saying they have the correct interpretation of the Bible having new discoveries giving them a new perspective on things.

I think they are putting the new age interpretation of it out while not saying anything about the new age.

1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

But we will know when it close and know it will happen after certain events.

When the nations come together as one to work for peace then Christ's return is near.

They will divide the world in to 10 sections with a leader in each section.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

The saints will not be gathered unto Christ until there is a falling away first which is when they stop the preaching of the Gospel and the belief in a personal God in favor of the new age which they will say it is not the truth and they want peace.

And the man of sin claims to be God.

So when that happens Jesus' second coming is close.

Yes, there are many that say tomorrow, next day, next year, Why?
They get gain from people and if people given them money then they get earthly wealth, not Gpd Spirit wealth
There was a person that claimed this coming on a certain day and year. That day passed and nothing came of it.
there was. a person that ave that person everything they had. I mean everything.
Ask for it back, not all of it, so he could still live here at least a little comfortably.
that person that said that certain days which did not happen, did not give a dime back
Religion(s) are Vending machines
You put in to get out, how is that going for us all?
Really, wake up and smell the roses understand there are thorns there on a rose
People use the Word, the Bible to get others to feed them and act real well in deceiving people and get stuff from others in doing that to one's own demise in doing it

Does God need money? People do, and God gives freely the true needs to each that believes in God personally
Learn from God Matthew 10:16-20, Luke 21:14-15 please decide to get a personal relationship between God and you personally first, before stepping out to help anyone else thank you

You are at least part way there.
In the personal relationship that is required of us He will warn us not to make that decision.

You are correct up to (decade, century); Jesus also said there would be no signs given to this generation, which referred to the people living in His time. There are many verse describing the end times will be like to warn us to be ready.

And thank you, that is truth, still in process to learn from mistakes made, thanking God, God's love goes on forever
Otherwise I would be under Law and dead as a cross nail. Thank you Father and Son as Won for us all to give new life in your resurrected state, thank you seeing you do not quit I am seeing at least me being of flesh and blood, unredeemed Romans 8 does and has, still learning niot to do that again, seeing truth you keep me saved, as I see things that are not good for me to still do, thank you for the grace, I am willing to learn as I see I am free to still choose, thank you, I choose your will Father, not mine, learning this new me from you thank you

Matthew 16:3
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

The sign over two thousand years ago now
Jesus is risen, seen by over 500 witnesses, reported in the Bible by the disciples as people make issues out of what is done
What is done is: he is Risen where new life is a gift from Father, Daddy, PaPa
Believe Father in risen Son, receive the new given you from Father, PaPa,
Daddy for you too, in belief in Son as risen for you too, not anymore doubt
God loves us all y'all, time to choose and be freed from all the stress out there in this world today. God won through Son for us to stand, Col 1:21-23
Receive Isaiah 6:1-7

Sorry, you are offended, never meant to offend anyone, yet people get offended and say they are, Are You? Okay, thank you, just to me Daddy, PaPa is Father, God and Adonai, even the name Allah is true too, many names used for God Father and Son, motive is best. Thanks to Father I will in respect and do not ever wish to harm anyone ever, and yet stand in belief anyways, as others do get offended, god knows what is what and who is who, thank you, I stand in trust to Father and Son as Won for all to believe God or not.
Do not think of my personal relationship between God and me as cutsie, sorry you do, not meant that way
Romans 14
Romans 14:5
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Romans 14:6
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Romans 14:7
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Romans 14:8
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

I believe you believe God over self and everyone else Phil 3:1-20
at least are on the path by Father in risen Son, thanks
 
Allah is the name of one of the daily god's worshiped in Saudi Arabia that mohammed nonchalantly picked to be the "one true god", this allah is a demon, hence the rules and orders in islame that are more demonic than Godly.
Islame teaches God is unknowable, we know from the very first chapter in Genesis that the Creator has a character and nature, and desires relationship with His created beings.
I am not offended, I don't do it.
I doubt one could take this to Him as we are all required, and receive His approval.
Best wishes:)(y):unsure::coffee:

Okay, thanks, as Father knows each persons motive, and takes in all tribes and nations unto his love and mercy for us all, through the done work of Son for us all. I see love all, not a few as in

King James Version
Matthew 5:37-39
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Matthew 13:15
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Matthew 13:16
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

Now if under Law, as many are still under Law to do to get, at least mixing Law and Grace, which do not mix naturally. when, anyone is given new from God, these learn to do and not be under Law anymore. Rather these new born new believers by God Father, uphold Law as good and learn to abide willingly over forcibly, manipulating people, as religion does that to many. There is no making it to Heaven under Law, since, seeing under Law one, anyone can only become a torso to be able to enter in. Everything else literally cut off to get in under Law. Will you be a torso? Probably not!
Next is: the unruly flesh nature, first birth under Law that does not or cannot please God, takes this amazing grace gift for granted and uses it for self gain and acts as if are well and might not be, which is for each person to decide in themselves, between God and them each personally, if they are in with Father and Son or not? Seeing nothing anyone else but Son can do and did to get in as saved told about in Matthew 19 from Jesus to the disciples , but to believe God Father, Jesus's Father, does love them, proven through Son as risen for us all to be new in love and mercy to all, not a few anymore.
Matthew 18:9
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
Matthew 23:13
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Hebrews 9:24
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now toappear in the presence of God for us:

King James Version
Matthew 19:25-26
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

God loves us all, y'all otherwise Son would not have ever gone to that cross for us all first to reconcile us all to Father for us to believe and learn to walk new over time in not ever giving up on belief Son is Risen where new life begins in each of us that believe God. sincerely
Thank you, Love from Father through Son too us all. Wow, woe is me Isaiah 6:1-7

Hey Reddogs... who was He talking to? Who asked Him? Was it the Chruch, Christians? They ask about the end and He told them what they would see. I personally do not see this as the "Caught up" in 1st Thess 4. It seems to me as I read its about His 2nd coming.

Amazing isn't it? We mess up again and again and God cleans it up and asks us to have a meeting in love and mercy to teach us new and how to let go of all that ______________ and that can and does take time in not ever giving up and remain willing to learn from Father in risen Son for me at least and all the world too per 1 John 2:1-27 to me I see and say thank you to Father for this done work to teach me new and learn in humility, it is not me obeying, it is the done work of Son happening through me in Love and mercy to all, for all to believe, stand in and not be haughty over doing anything right, anymore. If God Father and Son do not get all the credit, then it might not be of God, to me it is not if "I" get any credit
 
Nobody knows the day or hour of the Lord's return but we are definitely given a sign to watch for in Rev 11. When Satan slays God's two witnesses, Christ will return in 3 1/2 days at the 7th trump.
