the lord will come like a thief in the night -Thessalonians, meaning no one knows
Also people have been using the Bible to predict this with all sincerity and fever for 2000 years.

@JimboSaturn Noone knew! But in the last days now we know!
"But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day shall surprise you like a thief, you are children of the light"
1 Thess 5:4

Daniel 12-End times
12 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise[a] will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. 6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”
7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time.[b] When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.”
8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”
9 He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
11 “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
13 “As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance.”

If one can predict the day of the return of Christ, then one should be able to identify the Antichrist, and slay him.

So, you're making the prediction that he'll be back in 2030.
Matthew 24:35-36
You are now contradicting your own book.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

@JimboSaturn I gave you the best answer that I have, why God has hidden things until the last generation, so we, his children, will not be surprised but be prepared for the tribulation ahead!

@Carazaa Sounds like you are looking forward to it.

@JimboSaturn I am really looking forward to Jesus' return, you are right! He promises to give us a world with no tears, no problems just like paradise and better when he comes back. But you know it's like being in school looking forward to summer vacation but having to take tests first. It's a drag to study and take tests, so I am not excited about the tribulation coming first. (Many believe Christians will be raptured before the tribulation, but I don't think so) But I am prepared for the tribulation. God has promised that if we love him, we will never beg for bread.
