Subject: I DO NOT KNOW |
Bible Note: I assume this is the passage you are refering to? Mark 13:32 "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. (NAS) "That day" neither the angels of heaven nor Jesus himself knows the time. Only the Father knows that time. And Jesus, at his ascension, clearly said that it was not for the disciples "to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority" (Acts 1:7). Knowing the future would be a hindrance, not a help to faith. Our responsibility is to get busy and do his work without being concerned about date setting. Jesus' ignorance of the day or hour of his return must be understood in terms of the NT teaching concerning the Incarnation. Jesus purposely laid aside temporarily the exercise of his omniscience as part of what was involved in his becoming a human being. |
