Jesus is talking about false messiahs trying to get people to follow them by pretending to know the time of Jesus' coming. Paul is simply telling the christians in Rome to be prepared because the day of salvation is at hand. The day of salvation for most of us will come after we die. He's not pointing at a specific time of Jesus' return. They're discussing two different things.
