I agree the answer is no. I’m reexamining this because there are quite a few people on this forum (maybe 1/3 or more?) that believe there will be either a 3.5 or 7 year tribulation then an immediate second coming of Christ.
The one view that was clearly given I’m examining and studying now. That view is that the second coming won’t be known, but a third coming will be known.
There is no second and third coming, where the former He comes in a time that can't be determined, but in the latter the time can be determined. That clearly contradicts the passage in question, that no man knows the day and hour. Nothing in the Discourse gives the impression that there is another coming after that one. A position like this is what Pretribbers use to try and explain their position.
1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain
unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
I only see one coming mentioned here. Where is the other coming in the text if there is more than one?
You might even agree with me here for all I know, and if so, my arguments are not against your position but are against the position you say you are currently examining and studying.
IMO, all of the following are referring to the same events.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Heaven and earth shall pass away(Matthew 24:35)---2 Peter 3:10---But of that day and hour knoweth no man(Matthew 24:36)
The text then goes on to tell us in more detail as to what transpires leading up to this day and hour---For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark(Matthew 24:38)
And when it arrives at this day and hour, it results in the following---And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be(Matthew 24:39)----1 Thessalonians 5:2-3---2 Peter 3:10.
Then we have the following that also happens during this same coming.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ(1 Thessalonians 5:9)---belongs with the following---1 Thessalonians 5:4---Matthew 24:45-46---2 Peter 3:14---1 Thessalonians 4:17---to name a few.
Pretribbers use 1 Thessalonians 5:9 to try and prove there is more than one coming. Yet 1 Thessalonians 5:4 proves them wrong since that verse shows that the ones in 1 Thessalonians 5:9 will still be here when that day and hour arrives if that day is not supposed to overtake them as a thief. That doesn't mean they know when that day is. It means when it arrives it will be a blessing in their case, but in the case of those in 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3, it will be anything but that.
What does it mean for Jesus to come upon one as a thief? Did not Jesus tell us that per the following, for one?
Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman 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.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
What some are failing to grasp, there will be two things going on at the same time when Jesus returns, and with Him being God and all, surely He is able to multitask--1---salvation for the saved---2---judgment against the lost.
