Bible Answer: Rohitjohn90, Question: "Does the fact that Jesus said no one knows the day or hour of His return except the Father mean that He is less than God Almighty (Mark 13:32)?" Answer: "No, But explaining this issue requires a little theological background. Though a bit complex, the eternal Son of God was, prior to the Incarnation, one in person and nature (wholly divine). In the Incarnation, He became two in nature (divine and human) while remaining one person. "Thus Christ at the same moment in time had what seem to be contradictory qualities. He was finite and yet infinite, weak and yet omnipotent, increasing in knowledge and yet omniscient, limited to being in one place at one time and yet omnipresent. It was only from His humanity that Christ could say that He didn't know the day or hour of His return. In His humanity, Jesus was not omniscient but was limited in understanding just as all human beings are. If Jesus had been speaking from the perspective of His divinity, He wouldn't have said the same thing. "Scripture is abundantly clear that in His divine nature, Jesus is omniscient- just as omniscient as the Father is. The apostle John said that Jesus "did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man" (John 2:25). Jesus' disciples said, "Now we can see that you know all things" (16:30). After the Resurrection, when Jesus asked Peter for the third time if Peter loved Him, Peter responded: "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you" (21:17). Jesus knew just where the fish were in the water (Luke 5:4-6; John 21:6-11), and He knew just which fish contained the coin (Matthew 17:27). He knows the Father as the Father knows Him (Matt. 11:27; John 7:29; 8:55; 10:15; 17:25). "So, again, Christ in His deity is omniscient. It is only from the perspective of His humanity that He was ignorant of the time of the Second Coming."
