(Matthew 28:18) He must have known then the time of his coming, because now as the creature divine everything was committed into his hands for the outworking of God's plan.

At the time of his appearing surely the angels of heaven would know about it; and the day must come when the watchers would know.
[389]His last message to the disciples just before his ascension on high clearly indicated a time coming when the watchers would know.

He said unto them: "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in his own power.

But ye shall receive power, after that the holy spirit is come upon you." (Acts 1:7,8) Those who are begotten of the holy spirit have the promise that the Lord will reveal to them his great truths when due to be understood.

(1 Corinthians 2:9,10) These are they that walk in the light, and for them the light shines with increasing brilliancy unto the perfect day.
