1. Matthew 24:36 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What is the day or hour that Jesus is speaking about?

Matthew 24:36 (ESV)

36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

Day or hour is a general time indicator and not an expression denoting a specific time of day (that can somehow be discovered/worked out).1 The day and hour refers to the time of the eschaton, when Jesus Christ will return in glory.2
