But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Mat 24:36.
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets. Amos 3:7. But ye, brethren,
are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. YE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT, AND THE CHILDREN
OF THE DAY 1 Thes 5:3-5.
The answer to this apparent contradiction is to be found in the fifth chapter of
the Revelation. The Father had kept certain things sealed and secret until Christ had made atonement for sin.
For, IF that mission had failed, there would not be any reason to proceed any further with that plan. Therefore, no
man, including Jesus Christ, nor angel, knew of those sealed things. When our Lord successfully completed His mission,
He became WORTHY to UNSEAL the secret things of the Father Rev 5:9. And, once unsealed, He could then reveal them to
His prophets.
Keeping ALL God's commandments and turning away from sin once we have been forgiven for past
law breaking is necessary for salvation. If, for example, we pay a fine for running a red light, does that mean that
we can now do so at will, because the penalty has been paid? Try that out on a judge, he will laugh you to scorn!
Why do men think that they can get away with such reasoning with God? Payment only covers PAST law breaking. Such
payment does NOT JUSTIFY continuing to break that law. What is necessary for salvation is to Love God and Do His Will, to
KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS! To understand all prophecy is not necessary for salvation. Indeed understanding will only
be given to those who OBEY Him and will only be given to those with A NEED TO KNOW. To those DIRECTLY AFFECTED.
So, understanding of end time events will only be given to those who OBEY God and live at that time.
Let us be
careful, not to read into scripture, things that are not there. Jesus did NOT say; No man WILL ever know the day
or hour. He did NOT say; No man CAN ever know the day or hour. He DID say that no man knew the day
and hour at the time that He was speaking!
Daniel himself was told that the prophecies penned by him were sealed
until the END TIME Dan 12:9. Today there is great discussion about the king of the south and various prophecies.
With each leader having his own interpretation of words penned by a man some fifty years ago. The very age of these
writings is a clear indication that they cannot be correct, for they are much too far removed from the very end. Further
the ambiguity of such writings, that allow for many radically different opinions causing such confusion, clearly indicates
that they cannot be right. Instead of relying upon such suspect material, I have chosen to rely upon the WORD OF GOD,
NOT THE WORDS OF MEN. Seeking understanding from God and standing on His word, I share with you, on this site, those
things that have been revealed to me. I urge you to study the Holy Scriptures and prove whether these things are
of God or not.
