Erasmus of Rotterdam, on Acts 1:7

“But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power:”

“And yet, even in the meantime a spiritual kingdom will thrust itself forth. In vindicating and protecting this kingdom, God demands their service, as for the rewards, let them be his concern. So they are to give up their desiree to know what they should not know; prepare themselves for events that lie at hand.”
