The return of Jesus Christ, often referred to as the "Second Coming," is an event that Christians eagerly anticipate. However, the Bible makes it clear that no one, apart from God the Father (Yahweh), knows the exact time when this event will occur.
In Matthew 24:36, Jesus Himself says:
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only." (NKJV)
This verse clearly indicates that even Jesus, in His earthly ministry, did not know the exact time of His return. The knowledge of this event is reserved solely for God the Father.
In Mark 13:32, another account of Jesus speaking about His return, He says:
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (NKJV)
Again, this confirms that the timing of Christ’s return is a mystery that only the Father knows. It’s not for humans, angels, or even Jesus Himself to know when that day will come.

Additionally, Acts 1:7 further emphasizes that such knowledge is not for us to grasp:
"And He said to them, 'It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.'" (NKJV)
Here, Jesus is speaking to His disciples just before His ascension into heaven, reassuring them that the timing of His return is in the Father’s control.
Finally, in 1 Thessalonians 5:2, Paul reminds believers:
For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night." (NKJV)
This implies that the return of Jesus will be sudden and unexpected, reinforcing the idea that no one can predict when it will happen.
In conclusion, while Christians are called to live in readiness and anticipation of Christ's return, the Bible makes it clear that only God the Father knows the exact timing, and it is not for anyone else—be it angels, prophets, or even Jesus in His earthly form—to know. The knowledge of this event remains with the Father alone.
