The Hour?

Does the Bible give any hints on the hour of Christ’s return?


The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. (Deliverance of Lot) Gen 19:23


And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times. (Destruction of Jericho/Deliverance of Rahab) Josh 6:15


Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth: lie down until the morning. Ruth 3:13


And they of Bethshemesh (“House of the Sun/Rising Sun”) were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. I Sam 6:13


And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house… I Sam 9:26


The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Psa 50:1

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psa 30:5


I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.  My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Psa 130:5-6


Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust… Psa 143:8

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. Hosea 6:3


But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. Mal 4:2


We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 2 Pet 1:19


And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Acts 2:1


Of course, it cannot be the same hour the world over (Psa 50:1). It stands to reason that the hour given would be in the same time zone where the prophesies were written.
