And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.” – Acts 1:7
Why not? Why shouldn’t they have known? As Jesus’ disciples they were the closest to Him and were the ones that needed to teach and share the good news about God. Even today, as people share the message of Jesus, why shouldn’t they know the times or seasons that God has planned? The Bible is so full of prophecies after all, there is so much that God reveals in His word to us, so why is it here that we cannot know?
