Ya’akov wishes to tell his children when the Geula will come and they will leave Egypt. But God doesn’t let him. How could they both be correct [as Ya’akov is a Merkava and above error]?? The answer is perspective: Ya’akov hopes to encourage harder work to earn and maybe even expedite the Geula. But God wants the work to be their very own, so He prevents Yaakov from telling them. However, the mere fact that he desired to tell the קץ empowers them.
