NO one knows the time except God...even Jesus does not know.

Instead of setting dates, we ought to be ready for His return at any moment. Are you ready?
What sort of prophetic event is this sign supposed to usher in? Clearly, most people promoting this have in mind the Lord’s return. Some explicitly state this, but others, mindful of the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:36, are hesitant to make that claim, though their implication is clear enough. These sorts of claims or intimations have been made many times before. For instance, the four lunar eclipses during 2014–2015 caused many people to anticipate the Lord’s return then, but of course this did not happen. I suspect that the same will be true on September 23 this year. People who get excited about supposed signs miss the point that Jesus made (Matthew 24:36–51). Instead of setting dates, we ought to be ready for His return at any moment. Are you ready?

Jesus said that no one knows the DAY or HOUR, not that no one knows the times or seasons, which He DID tell us about and to watch for,

Even if we could know the date and time, there is no guarantee that any of us will live to see that date. The Bible tells us to be ready at all times.

Jesus in his time as a man here on earth didn’t. That may be different now.

This is the most common rebuttal, but it is not definitive. Why was the Book of Revelations given? If “no man knows the day or the hour” is an admonition to ignore prophecy, then reading the last book of the Bible is fruitless. . .

This commentary has misled folks foe Millenia.

YHvH's Feast of Trumpets begins only when two priests sight the new moon crescent. Thus no-one knows the day nor hour
