We tend to interpret the hour as some apocalipti event which onlyhappens once int he whole existence of everything that at least humans may think of. But there are many hours in the Qur'an, the hour does not have to be that single event, but events... so there aremany signs of many hours.
Salaam

peace brother ,
it can be anything .. not described by the original arabic...
it can be a book/message/messenger/revelation..
and hour is not always the last hour , its the moment of time can be of past or future.. or a revolution, changing etc.i did not see why people fit jesus in it ?
and indeed it is a knowledge of hour/moment so not doubtful about it
follow me = follow the message/revelation which is from God..
is this revelation is not giving you the knowledge about the hour?
you can also say that the revelation is from the messenger who also already gave the knowledge of the hour (jesus,moses,abraham,muhammad)what are u struggling in understanding all of it ?

Grammatical and syntactic analysis that explains and elaborates the semantic content embedded in the sentences.
o
It is a new sentence beginning with Recommencing/Conjunction particle .
The verb-like-particle has suffixed third person, singular, masculine pronoun as the Subject of Particle.
Arabic is an agglutinative language, the pronouns can occur as suffixes of nouns, verbs or prepositions. Therefore, Anaphora Resolution is vital to understanding the meaning of Grand Qur'aan. It means the problem of resolving what a pronoun refers to. In written or oral text anaphora can be thought of as ?pointing back or referring to something or someone mentioned earlier?. The entity to which it refers is called its antecedent. The process of determining the antecedent of an anaphor?lexical entity is called anaphora resolution. It is contrasted with cataphora that refers forwards, not backwards.
The subject pronoun of verb-like particle, third person, singular, masculine is referent for Allah the Exalted.
The predicate of verb-like particle is Prefixed Emphatic particle + Verbal Noun Indefinite; nominative.
The prepositional phrase relates to the elided adjectival for .
The following two injunctive verbal sentences are the dependent clause of the topic sentence as is evident from the prefixed conjunction particle which shows cause and effect , signifying "In view of the aforesaid fact, therefore,". It is suffixed with prohibitive particle. The verb is in Jussive mood, second person, masculine, plural and the suffixed Heavy Nun renders it futuristic, meaning, "Therefore, henceforth you people should not be curious and questing" and the prepositional phrase relates to verb and its object pronoun third person, singular, feminine is referent for . The sentence thus means, "Therefore, in view of the aforesaid fact, henceforth you people should not be curious and questing about it, the determined hour - the Moment."
The next imperative verbal sentence comprising of verb, subject and object is conjunct to preceding sentences. The classical and later exegeses that attribute the elided direct object of imperative verb to Allah the Exalted have patently erred. Allah the Exalted is not the object of this verb since the irreducible feature of verb and its Root is to practically follow by will, design and affection in such manner that one moves or walks behind remaining adjacent to the one being followed/pursued so that there is no third in between the follower and the one being followed. "" It refers a calf walking behind his mother. The striking feature, individuality and peculiarity of this Root is the practical and physical aspect of following in action.
The perception and meanings infolded in Root " " are distinct and absolutely different from that infolded in the Root " " which is translated by English word "obey"; and Root " " by English word "follow" by most of the writers. This is how both the Roots are inadvertently/incorrectly brought closer and at par, as if they both convey similar meanings. English word "Obey" means and conveys the perception "to do as told; be controlled by somebody or something" and the word "follow" means "to obey something, act in accordance with something or instructions and directions given by somebody else". It is thus evident that English word "obey" and "follow" are in proximity of synonymous and both refer to an act while Arabic Roots " " and " " are not synonymous and are distinct from each other.
Arabic language is a scientific language and its Roots enfold all physical/scientific realities and facts relating both to matter and life. A deliberate act of practically and physically following is the result of will/decision and it can take physical execution only by retrieving data, information, instruction, injunction or saying already and previously saved in the memory. A physical act by one's own will and decision/choice reflects and demonstrates his acceptance and liking of the concept and purposes which that act will or is expected to yield.
The basic perception infolded in Root " " is to accept an idea, or word, command, direction, injunction, saying, or verbal and written communication, wholeheartedly and affectionately by will and personal choice without external pressure/force/fear/ compulsion/coercion. The perception and meanings infolded in the Root " " is the physical demonstration of executing that accepted thing in letter and spirit, exactly in the manner as is told; to follow and move step by step, dot by dot, word by word; move and follow on the footprints of the one being followed. Nothing should intervene; including ones passions, interests, preconceived notions, desires and conveniences, between the follower and the followed, whereby one will satisfy and implement the perception of the Root and shall thus be the one who acted exactly on that which he had willfully and affectionately accepted.
Root " " has a theoretical/ideological aspect while " " has practical/physical aspect/connotation. It means translating/ implementing into action what was accepted. This will also show and prove to others the truthfulness, faithfulness and sincerity of the person that he had accepted that concept/idea/fact/saying/news/Book truly and wholeheartedly. In sequence/time frame " " is after " " and not conversely.It is thus obvious that the main sentence is the object of elided verb You the Messenger pronounce.
The following sentence is also a subordinate clause as it begins with a Demonstrative Pronoun referring to the act denoted by preceding verb. The predicate of nominal sentence is qualified by adjectival description, an active participle; it signifies The High Road that leads safely and stably to the destination of peace and tranquility. For reading about it in detail, please visit ayah 16-7.
The pronoun, third person, singular, masculine which is the object of verb-like particle is referent to Allah the Exalted. The knowledge of the Hour is the predicate. To cross check please see
They people keep asking You the Messenger about the Final Moment "What is its exact appointed time of anchorage?"
You the Messenger pronounce "The certain fact is that its knowledge is a guarded secret only with my Sustainer Lord.
None can disclose-lighten it with reference to its time frame except He the Exalted.It is a certain fact that Allah the Exalted is the One with Whom is the Knowledge of the Appointed Moment.
Further refer 3363; 4147; 4385
Instead of pronoun here the subject noun of verb-like particle is Allah the Exalted and is the predicate.
