Matthew 24:30-36King James Version
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of "heaven" to the other. (Not gathering us from the earth in the rapture, we are already in heaven when (this happens) He gathers is elect!!)
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. (What day and hour? We were just told in the previous paragraph what day and hour!! The day heaven and earth shall pass away!!!)
Are we not told to watch? For what? Our blessed hope!! I have no need to know the day or hour heaven and earth pass away. Neither would the angels in heaven nor the Son!!! Satan has no need to know when his dawning of his new creation is going to be burnt up either. This earth and flesh belongs to satan.
Just Sharing.
