You have already run Davy. Why are you here if you cannot respond to your own challenge?
I have already put forth a few verses in regard to your challenge about God's word.
You cannot respond. I will repost for you.
It's probably because I have you on IGNORE. So don't believe for a second that I'm reading all your posts, for you surely do not do read most of mine.
You think you know when He will come, but the Lord Himself warns that He will come when you think not. Is this scripture in error?
Matthew 24
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.
You have to keep reading what Lord Jesus said there in Matthew 24, not... cut it short and apply your own... opinion:
Matt 24:42-47
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
No man knows the day or hour of Christ's future coming. So why 'watch', right? Isn't that what your pre-trib rapture theory preachers say, why watch? And they don't know what to 'watch' that Jesus commanded either, do they? Isn't that really your point, that we cannot... watch??
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.
BUT... Lord Jesus had MORE TO SAY there about all that!
Let's see you try and explain that,
"... if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come" that Jesus said!
Never mind, I'll explain what Jesus meant by that.
IF... and a BIG IF... the goodman of the house (us, Christ's Church that 'watch' like Jesus commanded),
KNOW IN WHAT WATCH the thief comes, then we will NOT suffer our house to be broken into! Actually very simple.
Do you not know about the different 'watches' of the night written in God's Word?? Have you not yet learned that is what Lord Jesus was pointing to in the above Scripture about no man knows the day or hour of His coming, BUT... IF... the goodman knew in WHAT
WATCH THE THIEF COMES...?
Here is
Smith's Bible Dictionary about the Jew's Biblical Watch Periods:
Watches Of Night
The Jews, like the Greeks and Romans, divided the night into military watches instead of hours, each watch representing the period for which sentinels or pickets remained on duty. The proper Jewish reckoning recognized only three such watches, entitled the first or "beginning of the watches," Lam 2:19, the middle watch, Judg 7:19, and the morning watch. Ex 14:24; 1 Sam 11:11. These would last respectively from sunset to 10 P.M.; from 10 P.M. to 2 A.M.; and from 2 A.M. to sunrise. After the establishment of the Roman supremacy, the number of watches was increased to four, which were described either according to their numerical order, as in the case of the "fourth watch," Matt 14:25, or by the terms "even," "midnight," "cock-crowing" and "morning." Mark 13:35. These terminated respectively at 9 P.M., midnight, 3 A.M. and 6 A.M.

That makes Lord Jesus' Message of Matthew 24:42 have MORE information with it. And the REST of what Jesus gave with that is for His faithful elect Church that listen to HIM, and thus will not be deceived.
The
SIGNS of the end leading up to His return, which He was giving His faithful elect Church there in His Olivet discourse of Matthew 24,
is WHAT HE GAVE US TO BE WATCHING. And at the last verse of the Mark 13 version, Jesus commanded ALL OF US to WATCH!
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
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.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
KJV
Notice how that goodman of the house WILL BE REWARDED WHEN JESUS RETURNS, because he will have WATCHED those SIGNS of the end Jesus gave, and thus will KNOW in WHAT WATCH THE THIEF COMES, and not be deceived along with the rest of the world.
And in Revelation 16:15 when Jesus warned His Church within the 6th Vial timing when He said,
"I come as a thief", and then He shows His coming on the final 7th VIAL, and His cup of wrath poured out then, just what kind of
WATCH do you think that is??
By that He just TOLD US that His coming for His Church is on the LAST DAY of this present world! That day is called
"the day of the Lord", which per Apostles Paul and Peter is to come
"as a thief in the night"!
And what is truly funny and ludicrous at the same time, is how the pre-trib rapture preachers try to use that idea of Jesus coming
"as a thief in the night" like none can be found WATCHING and thus wait and be prepared for His return AFTER the tribulation, like Jesus commanded HIS FAITHFUL CHURCH!
(I'm curious. I always highlight a Bible Scripture quote in that blue type, with red accent of certain phrases. But you did the opposite; you highlighted YOUR OWN WORDS in that blue type, and left your Bible quotes in standard black type. What made you do that?)
