Matthew 24:36: "But about that day and time no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." This verse talks about the uncertainty of the date of Christ's return, which corroborates Peter's teaching in 2 Peter 3:10 about the coming of the Lord "as a thief."

Behold, the farmer expects the precious fruit of the earth, waiting for him with patients, until he receives the temporary rain and serod. patients and strengthen your heart, for the coming of the Lord is near.
