Joel Richardson does a good job in challenging the oft-repeated claims by Hebrew Roots date-setters that Jesus did not literally mean when he said, “But as for that day and hour no one knows it.” It is claimed that this was a “Jewish idiom” in the first century that carried an opposite meaning of what Jesus literally said. Richardson thoroughly refutes this by showing that there is no evidence for this. Date-setters will go to any length to play around with what God says not to play around with—even making Jesus’ statement say the opposite of what he meant!
