I dont get it....
"Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, nether the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matthew 24:36)
or something like that

Mt 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
It doesn't say Jesus doesn't know it....the reason God keeps us in the dark on this one is because it forces us to live each day for Him as if it's our last to serve Him and live for Him instead of getting focused on the evils of the world.

I agree with Wink on this one. Jesus was perfect, in that he never sinned. However, he was not God, nor did he claim to be. God is all-everything, omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (He's everywhere all at the same time), omniscient (He knows all). Jesus never knew all, only what God told him. Otherwise, there would be no need for Jesus to pray for God's will, because he would already have known what God's will is.
Jesus was perfect because he didn't sin. He was human, so he didn't know when the end times would come.

Your question concerns the what we call the triune nature of God. One God, three Persons. Each is eternally distinct and separate yet are God. This concept is drawn from various verses in scripture and is the finite way God reveals an infinite concept.
The Father has his role in endtimes as does the Son and Holy Spirit, yet God acts as one.
Clear as mud?

When He made that statement He set aside His Godly abilities and came to this earth as a man. When He went back to heaven He took back up His position. Plus God is the Godhead portion of the trinity. Who can explain how God thinks. Our ways are not His ways. Our thoughts are not His thoughts.

Yes, Jesus is perfect. But there's a difference between being perfect and being all-knowing. Since Jesus is NOT God, Jesus only knows what God wants or needs him to know at any given moment. Jesus let his disciples, and us today, know exactly what to look for as to when the "end times" would be. You can read this in Matthew 24.

Because God is the only one that can know it. Humans might not understand why, but that is the way it has to be. Just because Jesus doesn't know when the end times will be doesn't mean He isn't perfect.

Come on does he really need to know the signs are avaliable so he's just waiting for daddy(God) to give him the OK to come get his peoples. And its a submission thing if thats the way God wanted it Jesus can accept that and go on about his fathers buisness.

my belief on this is because while Jesus said this he was in the flesh there fore he spoke this way. He was not talking about the end times but the day of his return. when he comes back in anger to reclaim his own. the end times basically began when he was crucified. the count down began so to speak.

because there is no end of times!!!
You may just be replaying life over and over again!!!
or there have been many end of times which are when we have mass exterminations through ice ages and plagues!!! that is just so the worlds populationdoesnt get too high.
or you can mix them both together!!!

That was before He was crucified when He was still human. I'm guessing He knows now.
