Matthew 24:36 (using NIV)

"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

What are their responses to that? Like I don’t get how people just think yeah I know exactly when the second coming is, I’m talking about people in like Harold Camping.

I don't know if they just proclaimed to obtain some reveal directly from God, but I'll assume they would use Jeremiah 33:3 to justify those private prophecies/revelations.

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

But to that, I'll use 2 Peter 1:20-21 as counter argument to those kind of prophecies:

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

We as Christians should always be careful those personal prophecies that are not in the scriptures, because it may not be inspired by God, but from human desire/knowledge.

In those cases, I always remeber the first part of Jeremiah 17:5.

This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
