'''Uncertainty''' is an increasingly important concept in modern science and mathematics, which was largely undeveloped by the [[Greek]] philosophers until [[Jesus]] commented extensively on the issue.

An intrinsic uncertainty is the focus of the [[Parable of the Wheat and Chaff]], {{bibleref|Matthew|13|24-30}}, which implies that perhaps not even [[God]] can initially and easily distinguish between those on his side and those who are against him in this world, or ideas which are good and those that are evil.

The uncertainty about when the master returns is a common theme in multiple [[parable]]s, even to the point of implying that [[God]] uses uncertainty about time to identify who is [[faith]]ful and who is not.  In Luke 12:37-40, Jesus speaks about the uncertainty in time of when the master will return, and when the [[Son of Man|Son, a Man]] will return.
