Many of those unanswered questions that I have from the pages of the Bible weren’t answered by God.  Several options; He didn’t know, didn’t want us to know, left is up to us to find out, or didn’t tell us because the timing would be appropriate to tell at a later date.  Of the things that were not expressly explained in the Bible we were continually reminded that they were; “sealed up” for a later date or that we would know by the signs of the times.  So I am going to emphatically reside on the option D, that we weren’t told because we didn’t need to know until we were told at the appropriate time.  I believe the fact that many of these age old mysteries are being revealed at this time in history is in it self and indication that time is winding down toward the imminent return of Christ the King.

Why didn’t He tell me?  Well the answer to that although it seems silly is that He knew my nature and if I knew what was going to happen that suddenly I would become a prophet, telling everyone that “the sky is falling” based upon my “knowledge” of the truth.  Isn’t that what has revealed the charlatans throughout the ages, the fact that they continue to make predictions, firmly based on their own understanding, only to find that the date they predicted comes and passes without the occurrence of the Biblical event predicted?  Look I am okay with not knowing because in not knowing my faith is increased, because I have to choose to believe in something I cannot see which what the Bible defines as HOPE.  Without faith it is impossible to please God.  If me just taking the Bible verbatim and believing upon it just because God said so increases that faith, then that is the position I am going to take.

Why do you think Christ went away after rising?  If he stayed would we have had to faith in Him or would we see Him standing in front of us, dismissing the need for faith?  Additionally, His going away supports my argument that “it is not yet time” for Him to return, so we don’t see Him until that perfect timing.  Faith is the basis for the courage I feel, faith is the basis for my relationship with God, faith is also the Rock upon which I reside for in believing His Word, His Truth and His Sovereign Promise to return for His Reign I am strengthened to a position outside the control of anything in this realm.

I don’t know because I will know when and only when I am supposed to Know.  Is now that time, it appears to be so, but only YOU WILL KNOW.  In Jesus’ Holy Name.
