36"But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven's angels, not even the Son. Only the Father knows.

Although we are not allowed to know year, day, or hour, I like to use this quote by Elder Boyd K. Packer given to Seminary-aged youth in about 1987 (say ages 14 to 18). He said not to worry so much about the Second Coming, because everyone there had plenty of time to grow up, get married, and have children. And he joked, "That will serve you right!" He even said they'd have time for grandchildren. So even if you consider if the oldest of the group graduated from high school in 1987, only 19 and a half years or so have gone by, so even if they got married very young at 18 or 19 there are only a few who would even possibly have a grandchild yet. Plus you have to consider the youngest ones at 14 would take longer. So I think we've got several years to go, at least, but the important thing is to help get ready and clean house for such an important visitor prior to the official start of the Millennium. Have a happy day, and I send you a gummy bear.

No one knows the time nor hour that Jesus will come back. He don't even know until God the Father tells Him to go get His bride.

"Jesus will return only when he is no longer needed". ................True words.
