Mat 24:45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?
46It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
47Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
48But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’
49and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.
51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
1) This has nothing to do with “God reveals what he wants known—at the proper time.” Verse 45 is a question, not a propositional statement!
2) Nothing in the verses that follow verse 45 says anything close to “God reveals what he wants known—at the proper time.”
3) The long and short of the answer to the question in verse 45, is the servant that is doing what he is told to do when the master returns! Basically, Jesus’s thought is that those who are not doing what they are supposed to do when he returns, they are hypocrites and will suffer the eternal fate of all liars (for that is what a hypocrite is), an eternity in hell!
