About this episode
Pastor Mike discusses why Jesus said only the Father knows the end times and explains the concept of kenosis.
In this episode, Pastor Mike tackles a deep theological question: Why did Jesus say only the Father knows the end times?He explains that during His earthly life, Jesus willingly limited the independent use of His divine attributes—a concept known as “kenosis” (Philippians 2). This is why Jesus experienced hunger, fatigue, and even limited knowledge during His incarnation.However, after His resurrection and glorification, Christ returned to His full glory and authority. Pastor Mike emphasizes that Jesus now fully knows all things, including the timing of His return.He also warns against setting dates for the rapture, reminding believers to stay watchful and faithful rather than speculative.This teaching helps clarify the balance between Christ’s humanity and divinity, strengthening our understanding of who Jesus truly is.Text ASK to 90398 to ask Pastor Mike a Bible Question.Text GOLIVE to 90398 to be notified when ASK Pastor Mike is LIVE.Find more ways to learn your Bible at https://focalpointministries.org/Have a Bible Question?
