None can reveal its time but He. Heavy is its burden through the heavens and the earth. It shall not come upon you except all of a sudden.� They ask you as if you have a good knowledge of it.

Matthew 24:36 Yes, you're right David, no one knows, only God knows it. The fundamental difference is: Quran 7:187 use the word "Lord" while Matthew 24:36 uses the word "Father". Regards, Asep

No difference, really. Functionally the same reference, the difference is semantic.   The word 'Lord' (adonai) is a relational word in the Bible. Any patron or person of honor would be addressed as lord by someone of lower status.

Jesus' use of 'Father' is an explicit reference to God. I think you can safely say this is one Bible verse which is confirmed by the Qu'ran, especially since the 'Son' is explicitly excluded from this foreknowledge.
