What does the Bible say about predictions regarding the day of the Lord?

Matthew 24:36 emphasizes that 'But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.' This reiterates the folly of those who make predictions about the Lord's return for their own gain. Such claims not only misrepresent Scripture but distract believers from the true meaning of waiting for Christ by causing fear and confusion. Instead, believers are called to focus on living in faith and proclaiming the gospel rather than attempting to decipher unknown times and seasons.
