Matthew 24:36
The Message (MSG)
36 “But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven’s angels, not even the Son. Only the Father knows.
It is good that we don't know exactly when Christ will return. If we knew the precise date, we might be tempted to be lazy in our work for Christ. Worse yet, we might plan to keep sinning and then turn to God right at the end. Heaven is not our only goal; we have work to do here. And we must keep on doing it until death or we see the unmistakable return of our Savior.
