Jesus foretells the destruction of the temple;9. the persecutions for the gospel; 10. that the gospel must be preached to all nations; 14. that great calamities shall happen to the Jews; 24. and the manner of his coming to judgment; 32. the hour whereof being known to none, every man is to watch and pray No one knows about that day or hour This phrase emphasizes the unpredictability of the timing of the end times. In the biblical context, Jesus is speaking about His second coming and the final judgment. This statement underscores the importance of being prepared at all times, as the exact moment is unknown. It reflects the Jewish understanding of time and prophecy, where certain events are known to God alone. This aligns with other scriptures such as Matthew 24:36 and Acts 1:7, which also highlight the mystery surrounding the timing of God's plans. not even the angels in heaven nor the Son but only the Father Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe speaker of this verse, Jesus is addressing His disciples about the end times and His second coming. 2. The Father Refers to God the Father, who alone knows the timing of the end times. 3. The Son Refers to Jesus Christ, highlighting His role in the Trinity and His submission to the Father's will. 4. Angels in Heaven Spiritual beings who serve God, yet are not privy to the knowledge of the timing of the end times. 5. The Day or Hour Refers to the specific time of Jesus' return and the culmination of the age. Teaching Points The Mystery of God's TimingGod's timing is beyond human understanding and is a divine mystery. This calls for trust in His perfect plan. The Role of Jesus in the Trinity Jesus' statement highlights His submission to the Father, illustrating the distinct roles within the Trinity while maintaining unity. The Call to Watchfulness Believers are encouraged to live in a state of readiness and spiritual alertness, knowing that the return of Christ could happen at any moment. Humility and Trust Just as Jesus submitted to the Father's knowledge, we are called to humbly trust in God's wisdom and timing in our lives. Living with Eternal Perspective Understanding that the exact timing of the end is unknown should motivate us to focus on living faithfully and purposefully in the present.(32-37) But of that day and that hour.--See Notes on Matthew 24:36-41. Neither the Son.--The addition to St. Matthew's report is every way remarkable. It indicates the self-imposed limitation of the divine attributes which had belonged to our Lord as the eternal Son, and the acquiescence in a power and knowledge which, like that of the human nature which He assumed, were derived and therefore finite. Such a limitation is implied by St. Paul, when he says that our Lord "being in the form of God . . . made Himself of no reputation" (or better, emptied Himself), "and took upon Him the form of a servant." (See Note on Philippians 2:6-7.) It is clear that we cannot consistently take the word "knoweth" as having a different meaning in this clause from that which it bears in the others; and we must therefore reject all interpretations which explain away the force of the words as meaning only that the Son did not declare His knowledge of the time of the far-off event. Verse 32. - But of that day or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. He who from all eternity has decreed the time when this day is to come, is pleased to hide it in the hidden depths of his own counsels. But the eternal Son, and the Holy Spirit, both alike one with the Father, are of his counsels. They are not excluded from this knowledge; they, equally with the Father, know the day and the hour of the end, since they are of the same substance, power, and majesty. Why; then, does St. Mark here add, "neither the Son"? The answer is surely to be found in the great truth of the hypostatic union. The eternal Son, as God, by his omniscience, and as man, by knowledge imparted to him, knows perfectly the day and the hour of the future judgment. But Christ as man, and as the Messenger from God to men, did not so know it as to be able to reveal it to men. The ambassador, if he is asked concerning the secret counsels of his sovereign, may truly answer that he knows them not so as to communicate them to others. For as an ambassador he only communicates those things which are committed to him by his sovereign to deliver, and not those things which he is bidden to keep secret.Parallel Commentaries ...
