text: May I remind you that Christ was/is God not some apocalyptic prophet wandering around Palestine. He knew who He was, why He was on earth as man and what was in store for Him. He asked the Father to spare Him. As a child He rebuked His parents for not knowing that He was about His Fathers business.
  He told His followers, His Church, that He would be with them until the end of time.
  I agree that He showed little interest in the way society was structured but not because He was unaware of the eschaton but because His mission was the salvation of souls.
