King James Version
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree;
When his branch is yet tender,
and putteth forth leaves,
ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye,
when ye shall see all these things,
know that it is near,
even at the doors.
When will the LORD JESUS have His faithful meet Him up in the air, in our changed bodies?
The times, or the seasons, no one knows, according to Scripture.
Acts 1:7
King James Version
7 And he said unto them,
It is not for you to know the times or the seasons,
which the Father hath put in his own power.
But the Lord Jesus -- through His words in Matthew 24 -- gave many clues.
Matthew 24:14
King James Version
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached
in all the world for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall the end come.
Matthew 24:27
King James Version
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east,
and shineth even unto the west;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:36
King James Version
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels of heaven,
but my Father only.
Matthew 24:37-41
King James Version
37 But as the days of Noah were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill;
the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
Matthew 24:42
King James Version
42 Watch therefore:
for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Matthew 24:43
King James Version
43 But know this,
that if the goodman of the house had known
in what watch the thief would come,
he would have watched,
and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Matthew 24:44
King James Version
44 Therefore be ye also ready:
for in such an hour as ye think not
the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 24:50-51
King James Version
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day
when he looketh not for him,
and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder,
and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
That's why Jesus said:
Mark 13:37
King James Version
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all,
Watch.
