HERE IS THE SUPPORT SCRIPT OF WHAT THE APOSTLE WROTE
Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE INCREASED.
HERE JESUS INFORMS US THAT IT'S ACCORDING TO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO, THAT IS WILL BE REQUIRED OF YOU
Luke 12:47 And that servant, which KNEW HIS LORD'S WILL, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 12:48 BUT HE THAT KNEW NOT, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever MUCH IS GIVEN, of him shall be MUCH REQUIRED: and to whom MEN HAVE COMMITTED MUCH, of him they will ASK THE MORE.
GOD RESTRICTS INFO*
Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? 12:9 And he said, GO THY WAY, Daniel: for the words are CLOSED UP and SEALED TILL THE TIME OF THE END.

THE MOST HIGH GOD BY THE PROPHET ISAIAH REBUKES ISRAEL CONCERNING WHAT IS KNOWN AND WHAT IS NOT KNOWN AND WHEN IT IS KNOWN
Isa 48:5 I HAVE EVEN FROM THE BEGINNING DECLARED it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, MINE IDOL HATH DONE THEM, and MY GRAVEN IMAGE, and MY MOLTEN IMAGE, HATH COMMANDED THEM. 48:6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I HAVE SHEWED THEE NEW THINGS FROM THIS TIME, even HIDDEN THINGS, and THOU DIDST NOT KNOW THEM.48:7 THEY ARE CREATED NOW, and NOT FROM THE BEGINNING; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. 48:8 Yea, THOU HEARDEST NOT; yea, THOU KNEWEST NOT; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb. 48:9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
