1. Scripture reveals to us that we will indeed know the Day and Hour of our King Jesus’ Return!
Our King Jesus Himself declares to us that if we are not “watchful” that He will come like a thief. So, we can understand this to mean that if we “are watchful” that His return will NOT come as a thief (unexpectedly) to us!
He declares to us that His Return will NOT come like a thief (unexpectedly) to us, His Bride, precisely because we are watchful – sober and alert - paying attention to the Signs of the Times!
Scripture reveals this truth to us.
“If you are not watchful, I will come like a thief (unexpectedly)! For you are not in darkness, for that Day to overtake you like a thief (unexpectedly). For all of you are Children of the Light and Children of the Day (God’s Holy Spirit of Truth). You are not of the night or of darkness (satan’s lies and deception)! Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us stay alert and sober (watchful – seeing and understanding the Signs of the Times that announce the Return of our King Jesus)! (Rev 3:3, 1 Thess 5:4-6 – see 1 Cor 12:33)
Our King Jesus declares to us, “If you are watchful, He will not come as a thief (unexpectedly) to us because we are His Children of the Light and of the Day (of His Holy Spirit of Truth)!
He declares to us that He reveals “everything” to us that the Father has revealed to Him! (Jn 15:15) and since He and the Father are One (Jn 30:10), everything the Father knows, Jesus knows, and since Jesus knows everything and reveals everything to us, His Sheep, who hear His Voice, we know everything He and our Heavenly Father know because we are His Children of Light and of the Day – His Children who abide in His Holy Spirit of Truth, whom He reveals everything to, who are sober and alert – watchful - and remain in intimate prayer with Them (Father, Son and Holy Spirit of Truth).
2. Scripture reveals this truth time and time again, to us, revealing that it is a “privilege of discipleship” to “know what God knows”, and “see what God sees”, because we have the “mind of Christ!”
Privilege of Discipleship
I have told you everything I have heard from My Father! (Jn 15:15)
The Father and I are One! (Jn 10:30)
My sheep hear My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. (Jn 10:27)
Our Heart and Mind is the Temple of God, where His Holy Spirit of Truth dwells richly within! (1 Cor 6:19)
Let the (fiery) Word (of Truth) of Christ dwell in you richly! (Col 3:16, Jer 23:29, Jn 1:1-14, Jn 14:6, Jn 14:16-20, Jn 16:13)
The Word (Jesus Who is Truth – in the power of His Holy Spirit) became Flesh and dwelt amongst (within) us! (Jn 1:1, 14, Jn 14:16-20, Jn 7:37-39, Rom 5:5)
When He comes, the (Holy) Spirit of Truth, He will guide you to all Truth. He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming! (Jn 16:13)
The two shall become One Flesh.’ So, they are no longer two, but One Flesh (One Heart and Mind of Truth in Jesus Christ – in the love of our Heavenly Father, in the power of the Breath of Life of His Holy Spirit!) (Mk 10:8, Jn 17:7-23, Jn 14:16-20)
We have the mind of Christ! (1 Cor 2:16)
Face to face (intimately) the Father, Son and Holy Spirit of Truth speak to us, revealing everything when we become One Flesh – One Heart and Mind of Truth with God we truly have the mind of Christ! We truly are His Bride!
3. Just as God spoke to Moses who had the mind of God, God speaks to us, when we are in prayerful relationship with Him, surrendered to His Divine Will.
Face to face I speak to him - plainly and not in riddles (parables)! The Likeness of the LORD (Holy Spirit of Truth) he beholds. (Num 12:8)
The oracle of one who hears what God says, and knows what the Most High knows, of one who sees what the Almighty sees, in rapture and with eyes unveiled. (Num 24:16)
Indeed, the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan (ahead of time) to His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7)
To His own disciples Jesus explained everything in private. (Mk 4 :34)
The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables (riddles)?” Jesus said to them in reply, “Because knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted. This is why I speak to them in parables (riddles), because ‘they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand. But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it!” (Mt 13:10-12, 13, 16-17)
Come to Me and I will reveal mysteries of deep to you! (Jer 33:3)
There is a God in Heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what is to happen in the last days. (Dn 2:28)
The wicked shall have no understanding, but those with insight shall (have understanding). (Dan 12:10)
When He comes, the Spirit of Truth, He will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears (from the Father and the Son – see Jn 15:15), and will declare to you the things that are coming!” (Jn 16:13)

4.Since our God is the same yesterday, today and forevermore (Heb 13:8) we can know what He will do in the future, by what He has done in the past, and in the past, He announced, ahead of time to us, the timing of the 1st Coming of His Son via the Bethlehem Star, so we can know that He will again announce, ahead of time to us, the timing of the Return of His Son.
For deeper understanding on this, through Scripture study, I invite you to read my book titled, “God Does Nothing Without Revealing His Plans…Amos 3:7”, which can be downloaded from my website as a pdf as found on the Home Page under Book Invite.
5. With this in mind, we now consider how so many people have been led astray in believing that we will NOT know the day nor hour of our King Jesus’ Return by wrongly interpreting the following Scripture which is found in Matthew 24 which is the chapter which reveals all that will happen when the Son of Man Returns.
Of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. (Mt 24:36)
Taking this verse on its own would lead us to believe that we will not know the day nor the hour of our King Jesus’ Return, BUT when connecting it to the very next verse we completely can understand that we will indeed know the exact day and hour.
“For as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the Coming of the Son of Man.” (Mt 24:37)
In the days of Noah, Noah remained in intimate prayer with God, and was told by God the exact day of the coming Flood of Water, that was coming to destroy all wickedness upon the earth!
God told Noah to get onto the Ark in order to be protected by the Flood of Water that was coming, which would come on the 8th Day!
“Then the LORD said to Noah: Go into the ark, you and all your household, for you alone in this generation have I found to be righteous before Me...For seven days from now I will bring rain down on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and so I will wipe out from the face of the earth every being that I have made. Noah complied, just as the LORD had commanded. When the seven days were over, (the 8th day) the waters of the Flood came upon the earth.” on that day all the fountains of the great abyss burst forth, and the floodgates of the sky were opened!” (Gen 1:4-5, 10-11)
Scripture reveals to us that God indeed revealed, ahead of time to Noah, the exact day, the 8th day, when He would send the Flood of Water upon the entire earth in order to wipe out all wickedness.
Noah and his family were spared from perishing in the Flood of Water because Noah was in intimate prayer with God and obeyed God’s command to get into the Ark with His family.
6. God has revealed to us that in the Last Days of the age of this world that He will send a Flood of Fire and Sulfur, in the Breath of the Lord, in order to destroy the “godless” and “deceivers of every sort.”
“The present heavens and earth have been reserved by the same Word for Fire, kept for the Day of Judgment and of destruction of the godless.” (2 Pet 3:7)
“Deceivers of every sort,” their lot is in the burning Pool of Fire and Sulfur.” (Rev 21:8)
“For God's tophet has long been ready, Truly, it is prepared for the king; His firepit made both deep and wide, with Fire and firewood in abundance, And the Breath of the LORD, like a stream of sulfur, setting it afire!” (Is 30:33)
“Is not My Word like Fire!” (Jer 23:29)
7. Our Heavenly Father God has revealed to us, ahead of time, that the Flood of Fire that will come in the Last Days of the age of this world will be just as the Flood of Water that came in Noah’s time was, meaning that those who are in intimate prayerful union with God will, like Noah, know the exact timing of the coming Flood of Fire, just as Noah knew the exact timing of the Flood of Water; but those who do not pay any attention to God and what He is doing, just as those did in Noah’s day, who were “eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage” – these will perish in the Flood of Fire, just as those did in the Flood of Water, in the days of Noah.
"In [those] days before the Flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the Ark. They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be [also] at the coming of the Son of Man.” (Mt 24:38-39)
8. God has revealed ahead of time to us that He is going to send a Flood of Fire to destroy the “godless” and “deceivers of every sort,” so that those who are like Noah, in intimate relationship with God, who get into the New Ark (Immaculate Heart of Mother Mary – see Rev 12:1-2, 10-12, 17), who keep God’s message of endurance, will have a special protection when the Fire of Flood comes upon the whole earth.
“I (Who am Truth – see Jn 14:6, 14:16-20, Eph 6:12, 16-17, 2 Cor 10:3-5, Rev 20;10, Jn 8:44, 31-32, 1 Jn 3:8, Jn 8:36, Jn 18:38, 36-37) have come to set the earth on Fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!” (Lk 12:49)
“Is not My Word like Fire!” (Jer 23:29)
“The present heavens and earth have been reserved by the same Word for Fire, kept for the Day of Judgment and of destruction of the godless!” (2 Pet 3:7)
“Because you have kept My message of endurance, I will keep you safe in the Time of Trial that is going to come to the whole world - to test the inhabitants of the earth.” (Rev 3:10)
9. From Scripture study we can understand that the Flood of Fire that our Heavenly Father God is sending upon the whole world in order to test the inhabitants of the earth will be sent to destroy the “godless” and “deceivers of every sort” will be His fiery Word of Truth, poured out in the power of the Breath of Life of His Holy Spirit, and we can understand this to mean that the Fire will be poured out during the Illumination of Conscience and God’s promised New Worldwide Pentecost Great Miracle just as the Flame of Love and Fr. Stefano Gobbi prophetic messages reveal, which only echo Scripture.
For deeper revelation on this, please read, on the home page of this website, under drop – down main menu, the tabs titled, “Flame of Love Pentecost” and “Fr. Stefano Gobbi” and “Anne’s Pentecost Vision.”
10. Scripture reveals to us that in the Last Days of the age of this world that our God has promised to restore Earth to Heaven, by restoring His Bride in the Image and Likeness of the Breath of Life of His Holy Spirit of Truth - through the outpouring of the Breath of Life of His Holy Spirit of Truth, first in Fire in order to purify us, then in Rivers of Life – Giving Water in order to fill us to overflowing with His Holy Spirit of Truth.
Our God promises, in the Last Days, to restore Earth to Heaven by restoring His Bride in the Image and Likeness of the Breath of Life of His Holy Spirit of Truth, and in this sovereign way “conclude” His New Everlasting Covenant of One Flesh with His Bride. This will conclude His conquest over satan and all of his lies and deception, which have kept us in the bondage of the slavery to sin – for far too long.
11. Our God reveals to us revelation upon revelation in Scripture that, in the Last Days, He is sending a Flood of Fire of Truth, Who is King Jesus, returning in the Breath of Life of His Holy Spirit, and we can understand this to mean this will happen during the Illumination of Conscience, the time when God reveals each soul to itself as He sees it, as time stands still, in silence; which will then be followed by God’s promised New Worldwide Pentecostal Great Miracle outpouring upon “all flesh.” (See: Zech 13:7-9, 2 Pet 3:7, Rev 21:8, Is 43:18-21, Jn 7:37-39, Jn 14:16-20, Joel 3:1-5, Acts 2:17-21 and New Everlasting Covenant tab as found in main drop – down menu on this website.
“The Spirit and the Bride say Come Lord Jesus Come! Let the one who thirsts come forward, and the one who wants It receive the gift of (Rivers of) Life-Giving Water!” (Rev 22:16-17)
“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will conclude a New (Everlasting) Covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah (His Bride). It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers the day I took them by the hand to lead them forth from the land of Egypt; for they did not stand by My covenant and I ignored them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws (of Truth) in their minds and I will write them upon their hearts. I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And they shall not teach, each one his fellow citizen and kinsman, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me (Truth – Jn 14:6), from least to greatest. For I will forgive their evildoing and remember their sins no more.” When God speaks of a “New” Covenant, He declares the first one obsolete. And what has become obsolete and has grown old is close to disappearing.” (Heb 8:8-13)
“Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed!” (1 Cor 15:51-52)
“Is not My Word like Fire!” (Jer 23:29)
The Devil who had led them astray was thrown into the Pool of Fire and Sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. (Rev 20:10)
12. Just as God did in the beginning by revealing to Noah the 8th day, the day of the coming Flood of Water, we can be certain that our God will once again in the End, reveal the day when He is going to send the Flood of Fire. He does so because He is a Good Father who prepares His Children of the Light and of the Day for all that is to come!
At the beginning I declare the outcome! (Is 46:10)
God is the same yesterday, today and forevermore! (Heb 13:8)
Just as at the Beginning our God breathed the Breath of Life of His Holy Spirit of Truth creating man, we can know for certain that He will do so again in the Last Days, in order to restore man, because He has promised us He will do so.
A stream (a River) was welling up out of the earth and watering all the surface of the ground— then the LORD God formed the man out of the dust of the ground and blew into his nostrils the Breath of Life (of His Holy Spirit of Truth), and the man became a living being. (Gen 2:6-7)
‘It will come to pass in the Last Days,’ God says, ‘that I will pour out a portion of My Spirit (the Breath of Life of Truth – see Jn 14:16-20) upon all flesh! Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. Indeed, upon My servants and My handmaids I will pour out a portion of My Spirit (of Truth) in those days, and they shall prophesy! And I will work wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below: blood, fire, and a cloud of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord, and it shall be that everyone shall be saved who calls upon the name of the Lord. For on Mount Zion there will be a remnant, as the Lord has said, and in Jerusalem survivors - whom the LORD will summon. (Joel 3:1-5, Acts 2:17-21)
“Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed!” (1 Cor 15:51-52)
13. Many may argue that the Joel 3:1-5 and Acts 2:17-21 Pentecost already happened in the Upper Room Pentecost of Acts 2:1-4, but I argue that it has not, for in Scripture It declares that God, in the Last Days, will pour out His Holy Spirit of Truth upon “all flesh” and in the Upper Room Pentecost God’s Holy Spirit was poured out only upon the 120 (see Acts 1:12-15). Also, there is no mention of God darkening His sun, nor turning His moon to blood during the Upper Room Pentecost, therefore we can know that God’s promised New Worldwide Pentecost, in the Last Days – upon “all flesh,” is still yet to come; that it will happen during the time that God turns His moon to blood and darkens His sun!
See “Great Signs of our Times” and “More Great Signs” in order to read about how NASA states that the moon is now turning red due to the mineral hematite, and how “hematite” in Greek means “blood” so we can understand that our God is now turning His moon to blood right now in our current time!
Read also my book titled, “Not Like A Thief” in order to learn why April 8th, 2024, the day that God darkens His sun during His 2nd Great American “Diamond Ring” effect total solar eclipse which is so very spiritually pregnant with great spiritual convergences which appears to announce the Day of the Return of our King Jesus - April 8th, 2024 is actually the feast of the Annunciation which means "Announcement!"
Indeed, in the Last Days, when our God pours out the Breath of Life of His Holy Spirit of Truth upon “all flesh” His Bride will cry out with great joy,
“Hope does not disappoint for the Love of God has been poured out into our hearts, by His Holy Spirit (of Truth) Who has been given to us!” (Rom 5:5)
14. To learn more about how “No One Will Know the Day Nor Hour, but the Father Alone” is actually a Jewish Idiom (figure of speech) which means we will indeed know the day and hour of the return of our King Jesus, because the Father will reveal it to us, please click on the image of our King Jesus in order to go to the link to read the article by Tony Galli as well as watch the DVD titled, “Before the Wrath”, a film by Brent Miller Jr. which delves into the fact that the Father reveals the day of the Return of His Son, to His Bride.
