Things they know not
But innumerable are the things which they know not. Touching the Almighty himself, they cannot search him out to perfection. Lo, these are but a part of his ways; but the thunder of his power, who can understand (Job 26:14)? They cannot understand, I will not say, how there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one (1 John 5:7); or how the eternal Son of God took upon himself the form of a servant (Philippians 2:7): but not any one attribute, not any one circumstance of the divine nature. Neither is it for them to know the times and seasons (Acts 1:7), when God will work his great works upon the earth; no, not even those which he has in part revealed by his servants and prophets since the world began (Luke 1:70). Much less do they know when, God having accomplished the number of his elect, he will hasten his kingdom: when the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat (2 Peter 3:10).

2. But innumerable are the things which they know not. Touching the Almighty himself, they cannot search him out to perfection. Lo, these are but a part of his ways; but the thunder of his power, who can understand?

Neither is it for them to know the times and seasons, when God will work his great works upon the earth; no, not even those which he hath in part revealed, by his servants and prophets, since the world began.
