Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 24:36

"But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only." — Matthew 24:36 (ASV)

There is a clear change in our Lord’s words here, which clearly indicates that they refer to His last great coming to judgment: But of that day and hour knoweth no man. Some would-be prophets have twisted this verse from its evident meaning by saying, “Though we do not know the day and the hour of Christ’s coming, we may know the year, the month, and even the week.” If this method of tearing apart the words of Jesus is not blasphemous, it is certainly foolish, and betrays disloyalty to the King.

He added that, not only does no one know of that day and hour, but it is hidden from angelic beings also: No, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. We need not therefore be troubled by idle prophecies of hairbrained fanatics, even if they claim to interpret the Scriptures, for what the angels do not know has not been revealed to them. Even Christ, in His human nature, so voluntarily limited His own capacities that He did not know the time of His Second Advent (Mark 13:32). It is enough for us to know that He will surely come. Our great concern should be to be ready for His appearing whenever He shall return.
