  2. Exposition

Who knows when Jesus Christ will return in glory?

Matthew 24:36 (ESV)

36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

According to Jesus, only the Father knows when the Son of Man will return in glory (Mark 13:32; Luke 12:39–40; Acts 1:7). This means that the time of Jesus Christ’s return is unknown to all creatures. There is no individual on earth, no angel in heaven who knows when Christ will return.1
