Jesus did not tell us when he was going to return.
Jesus said, “No man knoweth.”
That’s good enough for me.
.
The “no man knoweth” was how he told them exactly when to look for his return, and prophecies totally define the year of his return as the end of Daniel’s 70th week. And that 70th week begins on the next Tishri 1, which is variable only to the extent that the appearance of the new moon can be a day off of mathematical computations due to levels od water vapor in the air.
He also expects us to watch (i.e. keep his appointed times) so that he will not come as a thief to us.
He very much wants his sheep to know when to expect him, or he wouldn’t have given us so much information.
