Consider this. Yes, Jesus did say that no man knows the day nor the hour. However, we do know that the next feast which Jesus will celebrate is the feast of the harvest. That is a two day feast, which I believe is in October. Consider that we are given to know the times and the seasons. Thus we can easily intrepret the time will be one of the two days of the feast and the season to be the harvest. Thus at some hour during the two days of the feast of the harvest. This fits perfectly the rapture, or harvest of the church. We don't know, of course, which feast of the harvest. We can give some credibility that it will be very near, but before, the fortyth anniversary of the berth of Isreal. Like Danial, there were three orders given the Jews to return to Isreal. The third order was to rebuild the city. This is the true return to a nation. There were three attempt to return the Jews to Isreal. The third time, flag actually flew over Jersusalum. That was in 1968. That is when Isreal truly became a nation. Consider that the Jews wandered 40 years in the desert before entering into the promise land, and considering that the jews will have been returned to Jersusalum 40 years on 2008, it appears that the rapture of the church, entery into the promises land for christian will be near the 40th year after the restoration of the of Isreal as a nation Isreal. We do not know the date the Jews entered into the promise land, only that it was after 40 years of wondering in the desert. I personally do not believe it was long after the wondering before entry into the promise land was actually accomplished. With this annalysis, we can see that the rapture is not far off.
