If Jesus is God, how come He does'nt know exactly when the world would come to an end? In matthew chapter 24, He gave us signs to look out for, but He does'nt say exactly when. Do you think it's because He does'nt know, or is it because it was not for US to know? | ||||||

Hello humility, Make no mistake about it, Jesus is God! The NASB reads, ""But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." In His incarnation- as the Son of Man- Christ does not reveal, nor is it given for us to know these things! Yet, men still speculate. John Gill comments: "... for as such, he lay in the bosom of the Father, and knew all his purposes and designs; for these were purposed in him: he knew from the beginning who would betray him, and who would believe in him; he knew what would befall the rejecters of him, and when that would come to pass; as he must know also the day of the last judgment, since it is appointed by God, and he is ordained to execute it: but the sense is, that as he, as man and mediator, came not to destroy, but to save; so it was not any part of his work, as such, to know, nor had he it in commission to make known the time of Jerusalem's ruin: but my Father only; to the exclusion of all creatures, angels and men; but not to the exclusion of Christ as God, who, as such, is omniscient; nor of the Holy Spirit, who is acquainted with the deep things of God, the secrets of his heart, and this among others." I hope this helps, BradK |
