Day nor Hour

For the various biblical interpretations of Matthew 25:13, in word studies of "day nor hour", makes one that is secular or atheist want to believe in the Lord before their death. From "The First Christian Primer: Matthew" is this short but descriptive description of "day nor hour" from five Bible modern translations and The KJV Word of God: 25:13 NASB “Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour” NKJV “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming” NRSV “Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor hour” TEV “Watch out, then, because you do not know the day or the hour” JB “So stay awake, because you do not know either the day or the hour” This truth is the purpose of the parable. Believers are to stay active and ready for Jesus’ certain but sudden return (cf. Matthew 24:36 KJV 1611 ) 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
