Jesus said he would return stealthily, and nobody would know when. Therefore, if any of those people who keep predicting the time of the Second Coming get it right, then by their own theology they will delay it.
Nope. He said no one would know the hour or the day but he also said there would be signs and, if people watched for them, they wouldn’t be caught unaware.

I think OP is referring to the passage following what you posted, Matthew 24:36-44:
36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. (ESV - emphasis mine)
There’s some additional passages in the Bible that reference the “thief in the night” motif, namely 1 Thessalonians 5:2, 2 Peter 3:10, and Revelations 16:15.
That said, my interpretation is that these talk about the point in time which is unknown, not about the manner of Jesus’ return.
Something, something…thief in the night…something, something. Not sure if that’s in the bible.
There’s a word for it. It’s called hubris.
Those people clearly didn’t get the message of the Bible.
The people rooting for this don’t actually read their bible. They are either the grifters in charge who don’t really believe in it, or the people who just believe whatever they are told by their religious leaders. It’s a shame that we offer free public education, but when handed a book, people prefer to just listen to their influencers rather than actually read the source material.
nah man. He stopped by like over 25 years ago. Said he wanted to look around before everything went to trump.
Evangelicals don’t actually read the bible.
I don’t blame them. The bible sucks and is horrible, just like them.
He’s still taking a break from his first coming. His stamina is a bit low.
Now that’s a sweet piece of ass
When he comes back he’ll be arrested for impersonating Jesus
Where does it say that he would come back stealthily? I remember it saying nobody would know when it happens (as in being able to predict it), but when it does it literally would be signalled by trumpets from heaven and a ton of other crazy shit happening.
I’m from a different religion, therefore that doesn’t apply to me.
d :
Early 2030’s, 7y after the Regional Consolidation Time ( what the Christians call The 1st Seal ) begins, which will be in the next month(s).
“A Time, Times, & Half-a-Time” means 7y, 4+decades, & 7/2=3.5 years, in their book of Rev.
The Muslim prediction for the durations is 8-7y, then 40y, btw.

They are just going to fake it. And being a human plan being executed by humans, some will know the date.
But yeah, if you did believe this stuff, their hubris should be blasphemy
