But concerning that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven nor the Son, but only the Father.
In this saying Jesus reveals one of God’s mysteries, reminding us that no one can determine in advance the exact moment of the end of the world and of his coming. Neither people nor angels have that knowledge, because it remains only under the Father’s authority. This word shows that the end of the ages is not subject to human calculations or prediction, but belongs to God’s sovereignty. It is also a lesson in humility, reminding the believer to live not by assumptions, but by faith in constant readiness and watchful expectation. Christ calls us not to try to determine the hours, but to live with the awareness that any moment may be the moment of his coming.
