Have I played that card for a thousand years = NOPE I have Not.
Now you seem to think you know all about words, "they say what they say and mean what they mean etc", so get your head around the snippet following;
1 Thes 5:1-6 - But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (Who thinks they have struck an all time peace deal?).
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Do you know what it's saying here --> get the lies out of your head, come into the real light, truth, dress yourself in it, otherwise you are naked and asleep, like Adam and Eve became.
Mark 13:32 - But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Why, because the Son had 12 mths to prepare the Fathers house for the Bride and then the Father inspects and gives the OK, hence the Son doesn't know the exact day, but close to.
The Bride knows the there about's as well, as she is sorting out Her dress etc and you won't know who she is until the vale is lifted and that "appears", be after the Tribulation (7 days in the Chamber).
And I expect the Son will have it up to speed on the first inspection, so you "might" have 2mths, maybe, unless he collects the Bride before the Temples go down.
