20. I don't know what verses Camping is using but another problem is
the verse you quoted is in the Olivet Discourse and immediately follows this:

34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

So yeah, it says no one will know the time and place but it also clearly says it will happen before the people listening to Jesus died. It didn't so case closed really. This verse has been a major thorn in the sides of people trying to take the second coming stuff literally. It has been interpreted in many different ways in order to avoid coming to the obvious conclusion that, if Jesus said this, it was a failed prophecy.
