Mark 13:33

"“But of that day or that hour no one knows—not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

Key Reflection

This verse underscores the mystery and unpredictability of Jesus' return, emphasizing that neither the angels nor even Jesus himself knows the exact timing—only the Father does. This highlights both the divine sovereignty and the importance of being always prepared, as the day of the Lord's coming is unforeseeable.
