And that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you (John 14:20).
Jesus told His disciples that the world would not understand, see, or know, but those who had the Holy Spirit would.
What He was saying can be paraphrased: "At that day they will see me as dead, but you will know that I am still in control. When they bury Me in a tomb, some will say it's over. But you will know I spoke mysteries the world could not understand. 'Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.' When they come on that first Easter morning and find My body gone, they will say it was stolen. You will know that I have risen from the dead. My ministry will continue through the Holy Spirit.
"At that day you will know" denotes something progressive. "Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord. . ." (Hos. 6:3 KJV). "Ye shall know the truth . . " (John 8:32 KJV). ". . . When I became a man. . ." denotes something that isn't complete but is in the making (see 1 Cor. 13:11 KJV).
Apostle Paul wrote about Kingdom revelation that staggers the mind. The truth is spoken and revealed in secret code. We must understand the code. But as it is written:
. . . Eye hath not see, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, tea, the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2:9-10 KJV).
