Reading Jim Bramlett's letter today titled: Jesus return, Can we know when?  I had asked a question one time to a group asking," When Jesus said, Only the Father knows?", did He know as he said," nor the Son! " The group was pretty much equalling split some saying He had to know being God and others said He had yet to be glorified in death to know such things.
 
I found most who were older and more experienced in Bible study tended to believe Jesus did know. But if He did know, what was He teaching us?
 
My personal thoughts on this is that Jesus did know being Himself Almighty God, Immanuel--God with us. The age and ministry which we are in now is the Holy Spirit, when God does not walk among men but by His Spirit.
 
The age of the Son was a few short years teaching us end time events and becoming our Savior.
 
But if I want to know what the Father knows, I personally believe the answer can be found in the age and ministry of Father, in the Old Covenant or Old Testament.
