can't think where they appear off the top of my head but i'm pretty sure there is words about how things will be revealed when the time is right... this could be pointed to in the form of the entire apocrypha and pseudoepigraphy - which was lost but really was just hidden from the devil until the time was ready to launch the great reckoning

they have come to light because it is time, they are a sign that it is time, the time is very very close
