I think its wrong and here's why
2 Peter 3:10 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
he will come as a thief in the night.. meaning we won't know also meaning.. it will catch us of guard.. thus meaning that we couldn't have known.. so A for effort but I don't see it happening

I think that the big bold section you posted refers to the fact that it will be no surprise when he returns cause God's people will know he is coming. Not a specific time by any means, just that they will not be surprised when he shows up cause he already told us he would. IMO.
Edit: Doh! Forgot to add that I personally believe nobody knows when it is coming except the one coming.edit on 11-11-2010 by Rhadamanthus because: (no reason given)

Except:
1 Thessalonians 5
The Day of the Lord
1 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

It is very clear in that passage that believers at the very end of this age will know when the Day of the Lord will be. It is Oct. 21st, 2011. Do I want it to happen? No. But the facts and evidence is very strong on multiple different levels and tangents.
