Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
We do not have much information about the degree Jesus "humbled himself".
We can know that Jesus did not share the time of his return;
Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Mat_24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Jesus probably knows that he will be opening the scroll given to him in Revelation 4-5. However, how that relates to time and how time is perceived in heaven, we do not know.

The rapture is a gathering of the bride by the groom.
At the last supper, Jesus re enacted the Jewish ceremony of the betrothal between the groom and his perspective bride.
In the Jewish custom, the groom would go to the house of the bride, and he would sit with her and her father, and he would offer a price for the bride.
Then, a cup of wine was poured, and he would drink from it, and he would hand it to her and if she drank from it, she agreed to the price, and to the Betrothal, and future marriage.
The groom would then go back to his father, and he would begin building a room onto his father's house.
When the room was finished, his Father would inspect it, and tell his son, "go get your bride".
The Father is the timekeeper to prompt the fetching of the bride.
Around midnight he would leave to fetch his bride. She had to be waiting and ready and the groom would send his entourage ahead of himself, to make noise and wake her up, and shout at her "the bride groom is coming, Get ready"
Then the son would fetch her from her house , and she would be brought back to his father's house for the wedding.
That is such a vivid and beautiful depiction of the rapture, that is the gathering of the bride to the father's house, and to the wedding feast and the wedding supper...IN HEAVEN.
Nobody knew when it was time. Only the Father could say when.
Postrib rapture is a train wreck, that they manufactured apart from the bible.
Postribbers miss the ENTIRE CENTERPIECE AND PURPOSE IN Eschatology.
Matthew 24: 36 But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
So, because God's word is the true, that's what I still believe concerning the day of rapture. But when that day comes, Jesus will come as it is written in 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-17 and Acts 1: 11
So we should be ready each and and every day that we live because no one knows the day, but only the Father ( God) only as the Bible says.

The Bible clearly says Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega. He knows everything from the beginning to the end. Jesus doesn't lack any of the abilities of God.
"For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily." (Colossians 2:9 WEB)
Humans are not permitted to know everything concerning Christ's return and eternity. So Jesus in his servanthood position said only the Father knows when the world will end.
I strongly believe in his glorious position he knows all these deeper mysteries because the Bible once again says Jesus is the power and the wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 1:24)
We are humans with finite wisdom. Jesus knew it isn't important for us to know the exact date he will return. So it's better we keep watch —Matthew 24:42.
We must also be careful not to be deceived by false prophecies about the date of Christ's return. No created thing knows.
