There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now.
And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.
And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down."
But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”
The bible is a book of eye witness accounts,

In many parts in scripture, someone is instructed not to give all, but only pieces, why must this be?
For example:
John 16:12
There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now.
2 Cor. 12 3-4
And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.
Rev 10:4
And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down."
I have seen in many threads, and in life, that people wonder and question, but have no real answers to some more deeper complex things. In past times, many say we do not hear God, he is silent. Why must this be, what are we left to do, when we inquire and want to know more?
The fact is if the creator God wants you to “know anything” you WILL know and it won’t be because you asked…or studied or, or, or …..anything else

I'd vouchsafe that, those requiring all knowledge at once (and 'why shouldn't it be that way?') are not as bold as to assume that any skills, experience was imparted all at once...you don't often see 'instant' architects, poets, new-clear physicists etc...'Deeper Knowledge' requires being able to swim without sand beneath your feet...then, the courage to dive, hold your breath...let alone, allowing yourself to venture to the seaside...
