The mainstream Greek Orthodox of the first 7 ecumenical counsels insisted that Christ had TWO wills, one human and one divine. The Monophysites survive to this day and call themselves Miaphysites, stressing that Christ had only one will.  Christ states "The Father is GREATER that I" which is puzzling in light of the doctrine of the Trinity that the three hypostases are equal. The Greeks explain the verse as  "the hypapantasis" which means "beneath all" and is Christ's gesture of extreme humility towards the Father. Christ says that "no person knows the day or the hour not even the Son" and this would give meaning to the TWO wills of Christ as well as the two natures, one human and one divine. It is my opinion that the last days prophesies of Daniel, Isaiah and The Book of Revelation will only become evident in the last days.  It is striking that Christ says "... but when I return shall I find faith?"  --- I am doing this quickly from memory so forgive any errors or oversights.
