As a serious answer to a tongue-in-cheek question, it obviously isn't in there.
What the Bible (KJV or otherwise) has to say on the subject is:
"Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the
Son of man cometh." (Matthew 25:13)
"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which
are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." (Mark 13:32)
and so forth.
