Mark 13:31
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. NKJV
To those who believe there is given faith, hope and love. The greatest of these gifts is love and in the love of God hope springs eternal. Holy Spirit never leaves us alone and without hope. In Christ who promises that He will never leave you nor forsake you and in the the unity of Holy Spirit there is protection and there is peace. Greater is He in us than he that thinks that he will always rule this world. Jesus has already won the battle and it is ours to claim. Carla
Mark 13:32-33
32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. NKJV
As one who was fully God and at the same time fully man, Jesus possessed all the attributes of deity, including omnipotence and omniscience. He knew what was in people’s hearts (2:8) and He could still the waves (4:39). When Jesus became a man, however, He voluntarily placed certain knowledge in the hands of the Father (Philippians 2:5–8).
Of course today, glorified in heaven, Jesus now knows the day and hour of His return. The NKJV Study Bible
The above predictions and signs of the age to come are held in tension with Jesus’ teaching that only the Father knows the day and hour. For Jesus’ followers, the implication is that they must be alert and ready for the appearance of the Son of Man at any time (verses 34–36). This means, primarily, that His followers should continue His mission of proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Faithlife Study Bible

1 Thessalonians 5:1–2
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
