Matthew 24:36 makes the statement that no man knows the day or hour. Some views of the end times create a situation where people will be able to calculate out the day of the Lord/second coming described in Matthew 24:30.
When the final week or seven in Daniel 9:27 is placed in the future, people on earth at this time will be able to calculate the date of Christ’s coming by adding 7 years to the date that the covenant was signed. If Matthew 24:22 is used to make the assertion that the days are shortened and therefore no one will be able to determine with any accuracy the date, then the full 70 weeks that are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city in Daniel 9:24 will not be fulfilled.
After the 2 witnesses are killed 3.5 days later they stand on their feet, followed by the seventh trumpet. This may also create the issue of people being able to know the day or hour if it’s viewed as happening in the future.
I’m not promoting any particular end time view but I do believe that no one will be able to know the day or hour prior to Christ’s coming. I have been using Matthew 24:36 as a litmus test for deciding which end time views I should study further. However I want to re-examine my view on this and would like to get input on whether the day and hour can be known.
