5 Reasons We Can Know the Day of Rapture and Second Coming of Christ

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. Luke 21:34–36 (KJV)
“But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.” 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 (KJV)
“Then He also said to the multitudes, ‘Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, “A shower is coming”; and so it is. And when you see the south wind blow, you say, “There will be hot weather”; and there is. Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?'” Luke 12:54-56 (NKJV)
“But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:10 (KJV)
It is impossible for Christ himself not to know the day of His return. Hence the scripture “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32 (NIV) must have been symbolic and not literal and calls for deeper introspection and interpretation. We see a similar scripture when Jesus said “And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God.” (Mark 10:18, KJV). Does that mean Jesus is bad, no. We see that He was without sin from birth to death on the cross even unto resurrection, the bible described Him as the blameless or spotless lamb which takes away the sins of the world. While Christ is fully God and possesses all divine attributes, including omniscience, His statement in Mark 13:32 is best understood in the context of His earthly mission and voluntary limitations. “Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” Philippians 2:6-7. The statements “no one knows” and “no one is good” is simply Jesus putting himself in our place and limitations, that is, of ourselves we cannot not know, but by the help of the Spirit we can. Of ourselves we cannot attain righteousness but by the help of the Holy Spirit we can be made perfect. The scripture in John 15:5 says: “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
