Then when will Christ come again? In Matt. 24:36 it says, "but of that day and hour no one knows," indicating that it would be fruitless to speculate as to the time of his return.

However, that same verse in Matthew says, "Only the Father knows," and in Amos 3:7 it says, "Surely the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets."We can understand that God will surely let people know about the Lord's Second Coming through the prophets. Many examples of this can be cited in the course of restoration, such as God's revealing the flood judgment to Noah, His destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to Lot, and the Messiah's First Coming. God revealed the time of Jesus' birth to the family of John the Baptist, the wise men of the east, Simeon, Anna, and others. In the entire history of God's providence, can there be any more important time for God than that of the Second Coming? How can God not let the people know, when the Son of God himself comes to earth to accomplish the unfulfilled purpose of creation?
