Ah, there you is.
Heb. 10:25
"Let us not give up meeting together, as some in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching" (NIV)
The phrase "see the Day" only appears here in God's Word. The Greek for "see" is emblepo, 11 of the 12x it is used in the NT someone is looking straightforward, usually with a look of interest, love, or concern. Jesus "looked" at the rich young man and loved him Mk. 10:21. He later "looked" at the disciples as he discussed an important issue (Mt. 19:26; Mk. 10:27).
The "Day" refers to our blessed hope when we are raptured (vs.37-39). To enable the Church to look straightforward to that day one must come and correctly reveal this Day to the Church.
The person who reveals this Day is the "righteous one" who lives by faith (v.38), and lives among the righteous in America (Hab. 2:4). NIV
Knowing the hour of the Rapture has two possibilities, depending on whether standard time or daylight time used by the Lord. I lean towards standard time as used in the 1st Century. It will occur night time here at an hour I know.
I don't know the hour or day of the Second Coming, Scripture plainly states we can not know, but does not restrict us from knowing the week, month or year of it. There is a week in December of a certain year that probably is the week of His return with December a certainty.
On the "day his feet stand on the Mount of Olives" it will be a "unique day" a day with no light and "no cold or frost" (Zec. 14:4,6). If this day occurred during the summer it would not be a unique day because normally there is no cold or frost. Coming on a day in December without cold or frost would make it a unique day thus confiming His return to be during the winter.
