Description: This year in 2010, (according to the Aviv Barley Calendar), the Feast of Trumpets (called Rosh Hashanah in Rabbinic Judaism) commences at sundown on Friday, September 10th -11th. The Rabbinic Calendar will be celebrating this holiday at sundown Wednesday, September 8th -9th. Matthew 24:36-37 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Many of us have read the famous quote of our Messiah in the gospels when he declared that his second coming would come at a time that "no man knows." But how many of us knew that he was actually making a reference to the Feast of Trumpets? The Feast of Trumpets was known by those in Ancient Jerusalem as "The Day That No Man Knows." And why is it called this? Because it is the feast that can only be determined by the sighting of the new moon, and so "no man" can calculate the exact day or hour of when this feast day will begin. Was our Messiah giving us a hint that he would catch away his bride on the Feast of Trumpets? In a Hebrew Wedding Custom, when a man, becomes betrothed to a bride (engaged) he then goes away for one year to prepare a place for her to live on his Father's estate. The son may not go and get his bride until the Father tells him that the timing is right. Hence, our Messiah said in John 14:2 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. Messiah was making an allusion to an ancient Hebrew Wedding custom. The son must wait for the Father to tell him when the proper time is to go and receive his bride. This is precisely why Messiah said "no man knows the day nor the hour---only my Father knows!"
