1 Timothy 6:15

“Which in his times he shall show, etc.] For though the time of Christ's appearing is unknown, yet the thing itself is certain; God will bring it about, and make it manifest in his own time, in the time that is fixed and appointed by him; and which is only known unto him, and which he keeps in his own power, and has reserved in his own breast: who is the blessed; the Syriac version reads, “the blessed God”; who is blessed in himself, in his Son and Spirit, in the perfections of his nature; who is God all-sufficient, has enough in himself for himself, and for all his creatures; who is the fountain and the author of all blessedness, temporal, spiritual, and eternal, which any of them are, or…”

“in his times--Greek, "His own [fitting] times" (Act 1:7). The plural implies successive stages in the manifestation of the kingdom of God, each having its own appropriate time, the regulating principle and knowledge of which rests with the Father (Ti1 2:6; Ti2 1:9; Tit 1:3; Heb 1:1). he shall show--"display": an expression appropriate in reference to His "APPEARING," which is stronger than His "coming," and implies its visibility; "manifest": make visible (compare Act 3:20): "He" is the Father (Ti1 6:16). blessed--in Himself: so about to be the source of blessing to His people at Christ appearing, whence flows their "blessed hope" (Ti1 1:11; Tit 2:13). only-- (Joh 17:3; Rom 16:27; Rev 15:4).…”

“Which in his times he shall show - Which God will reveal at such times as he shall deem best. It is implied here that the time is unknown to people; see the notes on Acts 1:7. Who is the blessed and only Potentate - God, who is the ruler over all. The word used here - δυνάστης dunastēs - means one who is “mighty” Luke 1:22, then a prince or ruler; compare Acts 8:27. It is applied here to God as the mighty ruler over the universe. The King of kings - Who claims dominion over all the kings of the earth. In Revelation 7:14, the same appellation is applied to the Lord Jesus, ascribing to him universal dominion. Lord of lords - The idea here is, that all the sovereigns of the earth are under…”

“Which - Appearing. In his own times - The power, the knowledge, and the revelation of which, remain in his eternal mind. 1 Timothy 6:16”

“6:15-16 At just the right time (cp. 2:6), God will complete the salvation promised to us before the world began (2 Tim 1:9; Titus 1:2), which Christ enacted in his first appearance (1 Tim 2:6; Titus 1:3). The saving work of Christ is positioned within God’s sovereign and eternal purposes. This thought leads naturally into worship of God our Savior (cp. 1 Tim 1:17). • This material might be quoted from a baptismal confession (see study note on 6:12).”
