But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
But here's the thing about that day and time, literally nobody knows when it's coming. Not a single person, not even the angels in heaven, not even the Son. Only the Father knows.
Even Jesus doesn't know the exact timing, only God the Father has that info.
