Shalom and Blessings To Everyone !
The Purpose of this Post is to Bring Alive The Words in the Title 🙂
Something Awesome is that there is a ‘Theme’/Deeper Meaning and Literal Truth In Relation To The Church and Jesus.
A Literal Truth of The Scripture is that The Church is The Bride of Yah’shua (Jesus) [The Bridegroom] ! 🙂
The Church right now is Betrothed (Legally Married) to Jesus 🙂 — The Five Wise Virgins of the Parable of The Ten Virgins Are Waiting/Watching For Yeshua/Yahshua to Return and have Oil in the Lamps (Being Obedient/Faithful/Virtuous) and are about His Work.
The Five Wise Virgins Will Hopefully Receive a Crown of Righteousness In Watching/Loving Jesus Return.

Shavua’ Chuppah = Bridal Week, A period of seven spent in the Honeymoon Chamber (The New Jerusalem) \o/ — Hopefully Parallel to The Daniel 9:27 – Peace Covenant/Beginning of the 7 Year End of the world.
Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
The Rapture is the Time of when know one knows the day or the hour, (The Feast of Trumpets is also known by that name) only the Father.
We also know the Exact Day and Hour The Tribulation is going to Start, it Will Be the Exact Hour Daniel 9:27 is Signed — (Paul said we are not in Darkness to The Day of The Lord/When They Cry Peace and Safety). (see video in sidebar)
Jesus said in a Parable, That the Kindgom of Heaven is like a King who made a Marriage for His Son —- The Theme about Jesus and His Bride The Church can be Understood through Jewish/Hebraic Roots — (Jesus sent to The House of Israel for His Ministry — Christians grafted in).
Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. (The Jews) But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, (The Jews) but the root thee. (The Christians)
Understanding the Hebraic Perspective of the Faith, brings Richness to The Faith.
This is The Meaning of When Jesus Said ::: “Of That Day and Hour No Man Knows, Only The Father” — In John 14 — Jesus said this :: 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
In An Ancient Jewish Wedding, After The Bridegroom and Bride were Espoused/Betrothed — The Bridegroom would say to The Bride before leaving and seeing his Bride for the last time before the consummation: “I Go To Prepare A Place For You,” (Jesus said this at the Last Supper too) and what he would do, is that he would go back to His Father’s House (Jesus – The New Jerusalem) and he would build a room/house/Honeymoon chamber onto his Father’s House. (could maybe take a year – Bride to be ready – Matthew 25)
Now these are The words of Diamonds and Gold 🙂 The Bridegroom (Yah’shua) would never know when it would be time to get the Bride, Because The Father (YHVH) would be The One who would give the approval of when he thought the room/house/Honey-moon Chamber (Mansion/THE NEW JERUSALEM) was Ready/good enough/or finished — Then The Bridegroom/Son (Jesus – Yah’shua/Yeshua) Could Go and Get The Bride !!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Hence, no one knows the day or the hour – only the Father ! 🙂
In Reference to the Words Jesus Spoke in Matthew 24:36 — But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Before these words, Jesus is Describing the End of The World/The 2nd Coming, — After these words, Jesus is talking about the time of Noah, then The Parable of The Ten Virgins — an Unknown Time.
Does Matthew 24:36 Describe: The Rapture (The Feast of Trumpets/Ancient Jewish Wedding {An Unknown Time} — Two will be in the field, one taken, the other left) or Does it refer to Jesus 2nd Coming being an unknown time?
If it’s the latter, it would be a conundrum, because Daniel 9:27 gives the exact time of when the Second Coming will be: Seven years from A Peace deal confirmed by the Anti-Christ with Israel and many.
This Verse: Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. — Is probably in Reference to a Pre-Trib Rapture, God Willing 🙂 Maranatha ! 🙂
:::::::::::::::
The Feast of Trumpets, is known as the Day of when know man knows the Day or the Hour. The Feasts (Appointed Times) are shadows {‘Dress Rehearsals’} of things to come — (Colossians 2:16-17).
“The Feasts are never called “Jewish Feasts” or “Israel’s Feasts”. They are called “The FEASTS OF YHWH”. They are His… and they are for ALL generations – as “Kadosh Miqra’im” – Holy Rehearsals! Rehearsals of what? Messiahs 1st and 2nd coming!” —– The Jewish Calendar & Feasts: Comments from an Alpha-Omega Reader :: http://www.aoreport.com/ao/prophecy-studies-mainmenu-47/1414-the-jewish-calendar-a-feasts-comments-from-an-a-o-reader

THE MESSIACH’S RETURN?? IS IT REALLY CLOSE AT HAND? ….. YOU DECIDE
Let’s do away with all the misunderstood “Christian” MYTHS first…
1. He will come as a thief in the night even to the Christians:
BUT — 1 Thess 5:4 “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief”
2. Only the Angels and the Father know when:
BUT – In Jewish wedding tradition, it is customary to respond to a question of when the wedding will occur with “I do not know, not even the angels but only Father knows”. Simply because the bride’s father sets the date of the wedding when he is satisfied that all things are ready. As the big wedding day approaches all is revealed… when the Father gives the all clear, the groom comes with a shout and a trump (Yom Teruah) and takes the bride away for 7 days….
3. No-one knows the day or the hour that He will come:
BUT – Yom Teruah – the Jewish Feast of which “no-one knows the day or the hour” . Also called: the day of the great shout, the day of awe, the day of trumpets – “THE HIDDEN DAY” ..
REMEMBER.. the feasts are HIS Mo’edim (Appointed Times) . for example::
1. The birth of John – Passover 4BC calculated by scripture and Josephus (a secular historian) references to Herod’s death….
2. 6 months later the birth of Christ – Just happens to be the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles Sept 11, 3BC
3. Sept 11, 3BC coincides with moon passing under Virgo (at her feet) with the Sun behind her (wrapping her in its light) etc (as per Revelations woman) – Astronomy.. Get the constellation software and have a look .. its amazing and beautiful..
4. Which gives us the conception of Christ in Mary 9 months earlier – which just happened to be the Festival of Lights (Chanakuh) – December 8th as per Catholic tradition. (they don’t even know why they do it on this day??)
5. The circumcision 8 days later – to fall on the 8th Day Assembly
6. Christ’s Death at Passover.
7. Christ’s ascension on Mem B’Omer
8. Holy Spirit comes on Pentecost
9. Wesley Revival on Passover 1738
10. Azusa Street Revival on Passover 1906
WHATS NEXT ?? Is there a pattern here we should be aware of ??
11. Yom Teruah – Day of Trumpets – “their will be a trumpet blast” / The Hidden Day – of which no one knows the day or the hour / Usher in judgment / beginning of the other festivals…
According to the ancient HEBREW sages (teachers) there is hidden wisdom in the Tanakh (Old Testament Bible) about the coming 1000 year reign of the MESSIACH (Messiah) and WHEN it will begin.. An interesting date to watch for:
——–
Jesus said to watch for His return of which no-one knows the day or the hour sooooooooo:
Yom Teruah – the Jewish Feast of which “no-one knows the day or the hour” . Also called: the day of the great shout, the day of awe, the day of trumpets – “THE HIDDEN DAY” ..
Consider THIS…… 7 Years of Tribulation – Yom Teruah (2014) to Yom Kippur Day of Atonement (2021).. here are the facts….
1. Exactly 2550 Days (7 years) as per Revelation specifications:
2. Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah) is the Biblical Feast of which no-one knows the day or the hour (sounds familiar?)..
3. It is also called: The Hidden Day, The day of the great shout, The day of awe, The day of trumpets..
4. It is a High Holy Day.. Did Jesus actually say he would be coming back on Yom Teruah? Just as he fulfilled other prophecies on the other Feasts??
5. 7 years also speaks about the baby boy transcending the 7 days and being circumcised on the 8th, the tzaddikim understood this to mean the 7 years of the birth pangs of the Messiah and the fulfillment of his brit (Covenant) in the 8th year provoked the idea that birth pains have begun. The amount of earthquakes, animals dying (birds, beast and fish), floods, pestilence and famine may indicate this is happening.
6. During Temple days, Jews always took three and a half years to read through the Torah in the synagogue.
7. We find this year 2011 has something VERY interesting that occurs on the Yom Teruah Feast – The Mo’edim (appointed times) in the stars show Virgo has the sun behind her and the moon at her feet on September 29th, 2011 as per Revelations vision.
8. Palestine State may seek to divide Jerusalem in Sept 2011 ( a big no no no) “Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land.” Joel 3.2
9. The traditional Jewish Wedding starts with the male betrothed coming with a shout, a trump and then takes the bride away for 7 days of rejoicing – pretrib?
2. During Temple days, Jews always took three and a half years to read through the Torah in the synagogue. The first of 2 Triennial cycle (for a complete 7 year period)
4. The coming blood moons of 2014 through 2015. This is the only tetrad in the near future that aligns itself with the Jewish holidays.
5. We find the tetrad blood moons and lunar eclipse all falling on Jewish holidays – 2014 through 2015
Apr 15, 2014 on Passover –
Oct 08, 2014 on Feast of Tabernacles –
Apr 04, 2015 on Passover — and finally on
Sep 28,2015 on Feast of Tabernacles.
The last few times this occurred there was GREAT change in Israel:
Lunar Tetrad on Jewish Feasts
– 1493 through 1494 (repulsion of the Jews from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition)
-1949/1950 (1948 – Israel became a nation)
– 1967/1968 (Israel captured Jerusalem)
-2014/2015 (WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN) 2014 could be the beginning of the Tribulation.
– no more Lunar Tetrad for a LOOOOONNGG time..
Which brings us to the year 2018 (5778 for Hebrew Calendar).
vic – Important note: The Hebrew Calendar may really be at the year 6,000+ (The Epistle of Barnabas says God will finish everything in 6,000 Years)
I could write pages about the year 2018 but I will sum up with these thoughts:
In the Hebrew Year 5778 (really maybe 6,000+) (our calendar is 2017/2018)
1. 120 years from the first Zionist Congress
2. 100 years since the Balfour Declaration giving Israel the right to be a Nation..
3. 70 Years since Israel declared a State…
4. 50 Years from capture of Jerusalem temple mount.
5. 40 years from the Camp David Accord and Israel’s conflict with Lebanon
6. Yovel of Yovels
7. 120 = Length of Years (Gen 6:3)
8. 100 = Bondage
9. 70 = Prophecy Complete and time period for suffering
10. 50 = Jubilee-Release of Debt and Peace (Yovel)
11. 40 = Testing
12. Maybe also its just a co-incidence BUT the photosphere of the Sun, for instance, has an effective temperature of 5778 K.
13. The time immediately preceding the appearance of the Messiah will be a time of testing in which the world will undergo various forms of tribulation, called chevlei Mashiach – the “birth pangs of the Messiah” (Sanhedrin 98a; Ketubot, Bereshit Rabbah 42:4, Matt. 24:8). Some say the birth pangs are to last for 70 years, with the last 7 years being the most intense period of tribulation — called the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” (Jer. 30:7). The climax of the “Great Tribulation” is called the great “Day of the LORD” which represents God’s wrath poured out upon a rebellious world system. (www.hebrew4christians.com)
14. According to Hebrew sages, Abraham was born 1948 years after Adam (the birth of a nation), and then the Israel the nation was “born” in 1948 AD (1948 years after the “Second Adam” Yeshua)
Interesting Word ::: 16. The Arizal (Hebrew text) explains that 70 years is the maximum number of years of suffering that an individual can be decreed.
—– READ …
1 Thess 5:4 “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief”.
Are you part of the Bride that isn’t watching for his return??? Please, Please keep watching even if nothing happens on September 29, 2011… because HE will come one day.. and he WILL let those who are watching know the times and seasons…

Another great article. You really do your homework.
One thing to study. The word “to know”, is oida in the greek. It has the sense of “past tense”. Read all the times in the New Testament where this word is used.
No man “has known” the day or hour, only the Father. He exists in the future and in the past. So He has already experienced, or seen the rapture take place. But the Son and angels have not seen it yet.
It also gives the sense of intuition. “No man knows without diligent study”. The knowledge of it does not come easily. It requires study.
