“And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.”
He said to them: It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority — Jesus explicitly closes off chronological speculation about the end times (chronoi, appointed seasons; kairoi, the right moment). The Father's authority (exousia) over timing is absolute and inscrutable; this is not information given even to the risen Christ to share. The epistemic boundary (not for you to know) is a consistent pattern in Jesus' teaching.
