The prophecy in God's plan: It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority

The spiritual gift of prophecy is deeply related to God's plan, the beatitude. The prophets have given us many prophecies throughout the history of the people of Israel, and, in addition, our Lord Jesus prophesied especially about the times to come, and left us a special warning in the parable of the Ten Virgins: "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour" Matthew 25:13.
And this teaching is of great importance, after his death and resurrection, Jesus reappeared to his beloved disciples and spoke to them about the Kingdom of God, and it was then that a disciple asked him with curiosity: "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Acts 1:6.
Whereupon Jesus replied: "He said to them: ´It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority´" Acts 1:7. Jesus with this teaching explained that the knowledge of the future as such belongs only to God, because only God is eternal. The eternity, that is, the possession of all time, past, present, and future, belongs only to God.
Through the gift of prophecy, the Lord reveals to us the knowledge about his divine plan. But prophecy as Lord Jesus explained, has its limits, the hidden of God is not fully revealed to us. In practical terms, this means that a clairvoyant cannot use clairvoyance to change the future, the universe has a logical coherence, and that cannot be violated. This spiritual principle is what makes all prophecies vague and general in their description.
When a prophecy is made, the clairvoyant must know what is fixed in the future and cannot be changed, and what can be manipulated in the present to reach that immovable future. We do not know the day or the hour, but all the prophets tell us of a great spiritual change for humanity in the future, including Jesus Christ. And as the book of the apocalypse teaches: "I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God" Revelation 21:2.
