Okay I have to ask AGAIN if it specifically states in the bible that no one can know when Jesus is supposed to return, how come you and other doomsdayers think they know????
to answer your question, the 24th chapter of Matthew answers your criticism. Versus 32 through 39. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; when his branches yet tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say and do you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall it also be at the coming of the son. Before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark. And knew not until the flood came and took them all away; so shall it be when the son of God comes. In other words, Noah listen to his heavenly father and knew when the calamity was coming. I am one with the father, through the son. Matthew 24 verse 43: but know this, that if the good man 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. Therefore be you also ready for in such an hour as you think not the Son comes. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his God had made him ruler over his household, to give them meat(revelation knowledge of mystery) in due season. Blessed is that servant, whom his God when he comes shall find so doing. In other words, those who have watched; will see his coming. Verse 48 but and if that evil servant shall say in his heart my God delays his coming; and shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with a drunken; the God of that servant shall come in the day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of. Can the son of God make it any plainer. There will be some, he will reveal his coming to. Matthew chapter 22 versus two through nine: the Kingdom of Heaven is likened to a certain King, which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again he sent forth other servants saying, tell them which are bidden, behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come into the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: and the remnant took his servants, and he treated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the King heard , he was angry: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then says he to his servants, the wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go you therefore into the highways, and as many as you shall find, bid to the marriage.
