“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mt 24:36)
We can know the season, according to Mt 24:32-33, and I believe we are in the season right now. That is enough for us to know. When we set dates and they do not happen, it only creates confusion, and does not glorify God. It also gives the pagans an opportunity to mock.
Superstitious Infatuation with the Date
I would like to quote from brother Yong Doo Kim, whom I love and respect, and have written about in my blog, Baptized by Blazing Fire. He stated in his book:
"Many people are endlessly crying out that we are in the end time. Therefore, in order to discern this evil generation, people are gathering around gifted people. The people are wondering when the Lord will return. But most clear and certain is the fact that the gifted people do not know the answer to that question. It is only up to God. With the Lord’s statement in Matthew Chapter 24, we can indirectly discern the end time apocalyptic phenomenal events."
"As a matter of fact, when I visited heaven, I asked Apostle Paul a question. Paul humbly directed me to deeply read through the four gospels which have the statements of the Lord rather than the epistles of Paul. He pointed out and said that the four gospels are more beneficial. The end time apocalyptic phenomenal events in Matthew Chapter 24 would be the place to go for the answer."
"In some instances, there are people prowling around to determine the final day. But this infatuation to find the determined final day is clearly superstition. The best route for Christians is to be ready at all times. We must prepare ourselves spiritually on a daily basis."
"The Lord made some statements to me. He said that when the pastors do not prepare the congregations for rapture beforehand, the result will be that they will all be left behind. The believers who are left behind will vent out their anger on their pastors. They will be angered for not being raptured. The believers will take their revenge on pastors who had taught them in error during their lives. The pastors will die brutally by hands of their church members who were left behind. This event will occur throughout the world in all places and churches. As a pastor, I am truly in fear."
The Lord Jesus told brother Kim that His coming is "very near." He recorded this in Baptize by Blazing Fire (Book 5). Immediately afterward, brother Kim asked the Lord a related question. I will quote directly from the book:

| Brother Yong-Doo Kim |
"Jesus: My beloved servant, if I disclose the date of my coming to some of my servants, then chaos will come upon the world. As I have stated in the Bible, I will come like a thief and no one will know. However, for those who are spiritually awaken, they will know that my coming is soon. They will not know the exact date but will know the season. They will suddenly realize the urgency of the coming. In that season, it will only be a matter of time."
"It will not be years and days of prophesying that the gates of heaven are opening or if the arch angels are blowing the trumpets, when I come for My bride, it will happen abruptly. For those spiritually awakened, when you are in a moment of prayer, suddenly, you will know and feel it spiritually through the spiritual realm that I am coming. All who are waiting and awakened will feel it together."
"I do not state the date to any single person, otherwise, the world may become chaotic and disorder may follow. Therefore, a date will not be given. Only the Father knows the date. My beloved servants, if you only love Me and you are abiding in Me, you will never be bewildered for not knowing the date."
Putting it All Together
As far as I am aware, the Lord has been indicating to His sons and daughters for at least four years that He is "coming right away." I recall when He gave Angelica Zambrano this message in 2009, saying, "I am no longer at the door; I am beyond the door. I will come soon; My coming is near." He also told her, "...Do not tell My people that I am coming soon. Tell My people that I am coming right away." Later the Lord repeated again, "Tell My people that I am coming right away and that I am coming for a holy people. Tell My people that only the holy ones, only the holy ones will see Me!
It is still true today, and we must be ready when it suddenly happens. But don't assume you are ready, because very few will actually make it to heaven in the rapture. As Jesus said, "But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." (Mt 7:14).
The Lord said to sister Angelica, "My people have left Me and gone back to worldly things...Tell My people to return to the old paths." Only the holy ones will see Him. Only the holy ones will live in heaven. He said to Angelica, "I am coming for a holy people, ready, without blemish, without wrinkle and without defilement..." There will be no idolators, drunkards, adulterers, fornicators, greedy or swindlers in heaven. Therefore, let us all seek the Lord now while there is time, and not seek the date of His return.
"Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near." (Is 55:6)
He is coming, but not for those that are half-hearted. He will return only for a people that is seeking Him in spirit and in truth. There is a promise for those who seek Him with all their hearts:
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jer 29:13)
Let's keep our eyes focused on Him, not the calendar, since everyone who has ever claimed to know the rapture date has been wrong. Adore Him.
"Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Heb 12:2)
If you are not living your life for Jesus, keeping His Word, then I urge you to repent now before it's too late. Return to the old paths! Live your life completely and solely for Him from this day forward, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
