What does it mean when It says the Son does not know the Day and The Hour?

Preface

This study addresses a question that appears simple but carries profound theological implications:
Does the Son know the day and the hour of His return?

At first glance, Mark 13:32 appears to suggest limitation or ignorance in the Son. Yet this reading collides with explicit Scripture affirming that all wisdom, knowledge, judgment, resurrection authority, and future events are vested in Him.

This work proposes that the tension does not arise from contradiction in Scripture, but from a failure to read time, knowledge, and authority through the lens Scripture itself provides—namely Hebrew covenant law, marriage structure, and jurisdictional authority.

By examining:

  • Hebrew and Greek time idioms,

  • the Moedim as legal appointments,

  • ancient marriage law,

  • Creation Days as archetypal covenant architecture,

  • and Revelation’s legal transfer of authority,

this study demonstrates that “the Son does not know” is not a statement of ignorance, but of lawful restraint, obedience, and covenant order.

What emerges is a unified framework in which Creation, Covenant, Marriage, Redemption, and Consummation are revealed as one continuous, appointed design—culminating not in uncertainty, but in rest.

▪THE PROBLEM STATEMENT- DOES THE SON KNOW EVENTS BEFOREHAND AND OF FUTURE?

Mark 13:32: “But concerning that day and the hour, no one knows, not even the messengers in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

▪ First blush meaning, this appears to imply:
→ A hierarchy of knowledge
→ The Son’s inferiority
→ Ignorance concerning future events

This interpretation collides with multiple explicit Scriptures stating:

The Son knows things beforehand (Mat 26:34)

Mat 26:34  יהושע said to him, “Truly, I say to you that this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny Me three times.” 

ALL treasures of knowledge are in THE SON (Col 2:3)

Col 2:3  In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Joh 5:22  “For the Father judges no one, but has given all the judgment to the Son,

◦All judgment has been committed to Him (John 5:22)

The Son knows that He is the One who will raise the dead

Joh 5:25  “Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Elohim. And those having heard shall live.

▸Therefore, the issue is not lack of knowledge, but how Scripture defines “knowing” time.

▪The resolution must come from:
→Hebrew idiom
→Covenant law
→Jurisdiction and authority
→Scripture interpreting Scripture

HEBREW AND GREEK TIME LANGUAGE: DAY

The Greek word translated “day” in Mark 13:32 is hemera (G2250).

▫Strong’s definition: a day; figuratively, a period, age, or time, defined by context
The Hebrew equivalent is 𐤉𐤅𐤌 yom, H3117, defined as: a day, a time, an age, a space of time defined by an associated term

▪This definition is already broad within Scripture itself, not imposed later.

➤ Foundational example

Genesis 2:4 These are the births of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day 𐤁𐤉𐤅𐤌 (Bayom) that Yahuah Elohim made the earth and the heavens

►This single “day” summarizes all six creation days.

▪Therefore, Scripture itself establishes:
◦𐤉𐤅𐤌 yom can mean an extended creative period
◦Not necessarily a 24-hour unit

FORMS OF YOM IN TANAKH

➤Scripture uses grammatical variation, not different roots, to control scope and function.

𐤉𐤅𐤌 yom singular, defined period :

▸Decisive epochs (“the Day of Yahuah”)

Isaiah 13:6 Howl, for the day (𐤉𐤅𐤌 ) of יהוה is near! It comes as a destruction from the Almighty.
 
▸Covenantal transitions

▪𐤉𐤅𐤌 plural, counted duration:

◦Measurable time
◦Chronology
◦Continual Covenant rhythm

▸Measurable time

Genesis 7:12 “The rain was upon the earth forty days (𐤉𐤅𐤌) and forty nights (𐤉𐤅𐤌)”

▸Chronology:

Eze 30:3  “For the day 𐤉𐤅𐤌 is near, even the day 𐤉𐤅𐤌 of יהוה is near. It is a day 𐤉𐤅𐤌 of clouds, the time of the nations.

◦ Here𐤉𐤅𐤌 is explicitly equated with ‘the time of the nations’.
◦ Time-period, not clock day.

Genesis 1:8 “and there was evening and there was morning, a second day (𐤉𐤅𐤌)”
Genesis 1:13 “and there was evening and there was morning, a third day (𐤉𐤅𐤌)”

◦ Here: 𐤉𐤅𐤌 is singular, functions as a chronological unit, ordered in sequence  

Exodus 12:6 “You shall keep it until the fourteenth day (𐤉𐤅𐤌) of this month”

◦ Here: 𐤉𐤅𐤌= calendar day, tied to month, explicit chronology

𐤉𐤅𐤌𐤉𐤅𐤌 continual covenant rhythm:

Isaiah 58:2: “Yet they seek Me day by day (𐤉𐤅𐤌𐤉𐤅𐤌 )
Psalm 68:20: “Blessed be Adonai, day by day (𐤉𐤅𐤌𐤉𐤅𐤌) He bears us”
◦Here: 𐤉𐤅𐤌𐤉𐤅𐤌 is not duration, but relationship pattern.

 MOEDIM — THE PROPHETIC COVENANT TIMELINE

Leviticus 23:2 “These are the appointed times (moedim) of Yahuah, which you shall proclaim as set-apart gatherings.”

Moed 𐤌𐤅𐤏𐤃 means:
Appointed meeting
Fixed appointment
Covenantal encounter
The moedim are not cultural feasts.
They are legal appointments on Yahuah’s calendar.
They unfold one redemptive process, not isolated events.

STRUCTURE OF THE MOEDIM (TWO HALVES):

▸First Cycle (fulfilled in Messiah’s first coming):
◦Passover
◦Unleavened Bread
◦Firstfruits
◦Pentecost

Second Cycle (awaiting consummation):
◦Trumpets
◦Day of Atonement
◦Tabernacles

Between the two cycles:
◦A long, undefined gap (revealed only at the end)
◦No date given (when revealed, the season can be established)
◦Watchfulness commanded at all times
◦This gap corresponds directly to: "No one knows the day or the hour.”

▫WHY A SON?

◦ The designation “Son” is not a matter of rank or identity alone.
◦ It is a legal necessity within covenant, marriage, and redemption law.

→ Sonship is required for two specific redemptive acts that could not be fulfilled otherwise.

1. TO RESTORE THE SAME BRIDE HE HAD DIVORCED

Scripture presents Yahuah as a Husband who lawfully divorced His Bride due to covenantal unfaithfulness. Restoration of that same Bride required a legal transition, not a different spouse.

  • Under Torah, a woman bound to a husband is released only by his death (Romans 7:1–4).

  • The Husband therefore entered death Himself, shedding His own blood, not hers.

  • This fulfills the law while preserving justice: the covenant is not annulled, but satisfied.

➤The harlot of Proverbs declares:

“Come, let us fill our bed with love… for my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey… he will not return till the full moon.” (Prov 7)

◦ The Husband returns not to destroy, but to redeem, bearing the blood Himself.

Sonship is required because only as Son could He:

  • die under the Law,

  • rise beyond it,

  • and reunite the Bride to Himself in resurrection (Romans 7:4).

2. TO REDEEM THE WOMB BY BEING BORN THROUGH IT

◦ Redemption also required healing what had failed from the beginning:the womb.

◦ Scripture repeatedly shows that the natural firstborn fails, and the blessing passes to the younger:

  • Reuben → Yoseph

  • Esau → Yaaqob

  • Yishmael → Yitshaq

  • Zarah → Perets

  • Menashsheh → Ephraim

◦ This pattern exposes a broken order awaiting fulfillment.

“She shall be saved through childbearing…” (1 Timothy 2:15)

◦ The womb is redeemed not by avoidance, but by incarnation.

◦ By being born of a woman, Elohim:

  • sanctified the womb,

  • restored fruitfulness,

  • and brought forth the true Firstborn, in whom the fullness of the firstborn blessing finally rests.

▶️THE NECESSITY OF SONSHIP

◦ Thus, Elohim entered the Marriage Framework as Son:

  • By promise — through covenant declarations

  • By fulfillment — through incarnation, death, and resurrection

◦ As Son, He:

  • lawfully satisfied the Torah of the Husband,

  • redeemed the womb that bore the curse,

  • restored the Bride from barrenness and whoredom,

  • and raised her to stand at His right hand,

“The queen stands at Your right hand, adorned in gold of Ophir.” (Psalm 45:9)

◦ Only after understanding why He must be the Son can one rightly understand how the Marriage Framework operates.

◦ What follows is not metaphor, but lawfully executed covenant

FIRST CYCLE — BETROTHAL AND PREPARATION

1. PASSOVER 𐤐𐤎𐤇 : COVENANT CUT / BRIDE PURCHASED

Exodus 12:13 ‘And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Mitsrayim. 

Passover establishes:
◦Redemption by blood
◦Substitution
◦Covenant protection

1 Corinthians 5:7 Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Messiah our Pěsaḥ was slaughtered for us.

Marriage logic
◦The bride is purchased
◦The price is paid
◦The covenant is legally binding
◦Passover is betrothal, not consummation.

2. UNLEAVENED BREAD 𐤌𐤑𐤅𐤕 SEPARATION AND SANCTIFICATION

Leviticus 23:6 ‘And on the fifteenth day of this new moon is the Festival of Matzotb to יהוה – seven days you eat unleavened bread

Leaven represents:
◦Corruption
◦Old identity
◦Mixture

Messianic application: 1 Corinthians 5:8 So then let us celebrate the festival, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 

Marriage logic:
◦The bride is set apart
◦The old house is left behind
◦Preparation begins immediately after covenant

3. FIRSTFRUITS 𐤁𐤊𐤅𐤓𐤉𐤌 GUARANTEE, NOT COMPLETION

Leviticus 23:10 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ěl, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest. 

Firstfruits means:
◦The harvest is guaranteed
◦The rest is not yet gathered

Messianic fulfillment:1 Corinthians 15:20 “Messiah has been raised from the dead, the Firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”

Marriage logic:
◦Proof of future completion
◦Pledge, not consummation

4. PENTECOST / SHABUOT 𐤔𐤁𐤅𐤏𐤅𐤕 BRIDE FORMED AND SEALED

Exodus 19
◦Torah given
◦YasharEL constituted as a nation

Acts 2
◦Ruach given
◦Assembly constituted as a body

►Pentecost is:
◦Empowerment during absence
◦Sealing of the bride
◦Preparation for endurance

►Crucially: 
◦Pentecost has a fixed count (50 days) with a shadow of 7 x 7 + 1 days depicting the 50 year jubilee count embedded in it
◦This marks the beginning of: “You do not know the day or the hour.” (Mark 13:32) or the Father has put everything in His own jurisdiction (Acts 1:6-7)

THE GAP BETWEEN PENTECOST AND TRUMPETS

Between Pentecost and Trumpets:
◦No feast fulfilled historically
◦No prophetic countdown unless revealed when the seals are opened
◦Readiness and watchfulness warned so that we don’t miss the prophetic countdown

Matthew 25:13 “Watch therefore, because you do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Aḏam is coming, 

►This gap is:
◦Covenantal waiting
◦Bridal preparation
◦Father-retained jurisdiction

SECOND CYCLE — DECLARATION AND CONSUMMATION

5. TRUMPETS 𐤕𐤓𐤅𐤏𐤄 THE ANNOUNCEMENT

Leviticus 23:24  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ěl, saying, ‘In the seventh new moon, on the first day of the new moon, you have a rest, a remembrance of Teru‛ah, a set-apart gathering.

►Trumpets:
◦Has a historical fulfillment of end of 120 jubilees (Gen 6:3)
◦Exists as a signal of nearing it.

1Th 4:16  Because the Master Himself shall come down from heaven with a shout, with the voice of a chief messenger, and with the trumpet of Elohim, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. 

►Marriage logic:
◦The Father had jotted the return
◦Announcement is public (not all hear will hear it)
◦The Groom responds within the Covenantal Order/Jurisdiction, preparing to return to take His bride.

6. DAY OF ATONEMENT  (Yom Kippurum: 𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤄𐤊𐤐𐤅𐤓𐤉𐤌 )CLEANSING AND JUDGMENT

Atonement follows Trumpets:
◦Affliction
◦Cleansing
◦Judgment

►This corresponds to:
◦Removal of defilement
◦Purification of the Bride
◦Judgment of opposers, trying to defile the Bride
◦Marriage cannot be consummated without cleansing.

7. TABERNACLES 𐤎𐤅𐤊𐤅𐤕 DWELLING TOGETHER

Lev 23:42  ‘Dwell in booths for seven days; all who are native born in Yisra’ěl dwell in booths, 
Lev 23:43  so that your generations know that I made the children of Yisra’ěl dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ” 

Rev 21:3  And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, “See, the Booth of Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim

►Tabernacles is:
◦Consummation
◦Joy
◦Rest
◦Inheritance
◦This is the Seventh Day realized historically

MARRIAGE FRAMEWORK — LEGAL AND COVENANTAL LOGIC


HEBREW MARRIAGE: TWO PHASES

In Yahudite  tradition, Erusin (also called Kiddushin) is the first of two formal stages in the marriage process. While often translated as "betrothal," it is a legally binding status that far exceeds a modern engagement

▸Legal Status: Once this stage is complete, the couple is halachically (legally) is considered husband and wife.
▸Sanctification: The term Kiddushin comes from the Hebrew word for "holy" or "set apart". It signifies that the woman is now "consecrated" to her husband as a chaste virgin
▸Prohibition of Cohabitation: Although legally married, the couple is not yet permitted to live together or have an intimate relationship until the second stage, Nissu'in, is completed.

▫ The Bridegroom Yahusha Operates in this Covenantal Framework:

Betrothal (Erusin / Kiddushin)
◦Covenant cut
◦Bride legally bound
◦Groom departs

►Consummation (Nissu'in)
◦Groom returns
◦Bride taken
◦Dwelling together
◦The two phases are separated by time, not uncertainty.

1. The Archetypal Stage- Erusin

Believers are currently in the stage of Nissu'in—the legally binding betrothal happened in the Erusin stage and the announcement that the Bridegroom is coming has happened. While the Groom (Messiah) is physically absent, the legal and spiritual bond is already complete
►The Bride Price (Mohar): Messiah paid the price for His Bride not with silver, but with His own life and blood.
The Cup of the Covenant: The cup of wine used in communion is viewed as the "cup of betrothal". By drinking it, the Bride (Assembly) accepts the Groom’s proposal and enters into a binding covenant.
►Sanctification (Kiddushin): The Bride is "set apart" (sanctified) exclusively for Him. During this interim period, she is expected to live a consecrated life, remaining faithful while waiting for His return.

In Hebrew, the word Erusin (𐤀𐤉𐤓𐤅𐤔𐤉𐤍) literally means "betrothal." It is the first formal stage of a Yahudite marriage, creating a legally binding bond where the woman is "sanctified" or set apart exclusively for her husband.

▫The Root Word: The biblical word is the verb Aras ( 𐤀𐤓𐤔), which means "to betroth" or "to engage for matrimony."

▸Key Scripture Verses

Hos 2:19  “And I shall betroth ( 𐤀𐤓𐤔) you as a bride unto Me forever, and betroth ( 𐤀𐤓𐤔) you as a bride unto Me in righteousness, and in right-ruling, and loving-commitment and compassion. 
Hos 2:20  “And I shall betroth ( 𐤀𐤓𐤔)  you as a bride unto Me in trustworthiness, and you shall know.

The most famous theological use, where Elohim says to YasharEL, "I will betroth (𐤀𐤓𐤔) you to Me forever... in righteousness, justice, and faithfulness."

Deu 20:7  And who is the man who is engaged ( 𐤀𐤓𐤔) to a woman and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man take her.’ 

Exodus 22:16: Refers to a virgin who is "not betrothed" (lo orasa).

Exo 22:16  “And when a man entices a maiden who is not (𐤋𐤀) engaged ( 𐤀𐤓𐤔) , and lies with her, he shall certainly 𐤌𐤄𐤓 pay 𐤌𐤄𐤓  the bride-price for her to be his wife. 

Deuteronomy 22:23–27: Discusses laws concerning a "young woman who is a virgin betrothed (me'orasah) to a husband

➤Meaning and Etymology

◦Linguistic Connection: Some scholars suggest the root may be related to the Akkadian erēshu, meaning "to desire" or "to request."
◦Status of the "Arusha": In biblical law, a woman who had undergone Arash (the Arusha) was legally considered married. Violating this bond was treated with the same legal gravity as adultery, even though the couple did not yet live together.
◦Comparison with "Kiddushin": In later Rabbinic literature, the term Kiddushin(sanctification) is often used interchangeably with Erusin to emphasize that the bride is "set apart" as holy to her groom.

2. The Period of Separation (The Hidden Time)

Following the ancient custom, the Groom has departed to His Father's house to "prepare a place" for His Bride
Preparing the Home: Just as a Yahudite groom would build an addition to his father’s house, Messiah stated, "I go to prepare a place for you" (John 14:2-3).
►The Father’s Approval: Historically, only the groom's father could decide when the preparations were complete (in His Jurisdiction) for the groom to go and fetch his bride. This parallels the biblical concept that "no one knows the day or hour" of the Messiah's return except the Father.

▫Scripture provides several patterns that support the "one-year" framework:

The Law of Military Exemption (Deuteronomy 24:5): A man who had already "taken" a wife was exempt from war for one year. While this applies to the first year after the home-taking (Nissu'in), it establishes "one year" as the biblical standard for a season of transition and marital establishment.

Deu 24:5  “When a man has taken a new wife, let him not go out into the army nor let any matter be imposed upon him. He shall be exempt one year for the sake of his home, to rejoice with his wife whom he has taken. 

The Preparation of Esther (Esther 2:12): Before Esther could go into the King Aḥashwěrosh (the home-taking), she underwent a mandatory twelve-month period of preparation and beautification.

Est 2:12  Now when the turn of each young woman came to go in to Sovereign Aḥashwěrosh after she had completed twelve new moons according to the regulations for the women – for the days of their preparation were completed as follows: six new moons with oil of myrrh, and six new moons with perfumes and with the preparations of women –

The Case of Miriam and Yoseph (Matthew 1:18–19): Their story confirms that a significant interval existed between being "pledged" (betrothed) and "coming together." This period was long enough for a pregnancy to become evident, aligning with the traditional one-year wait.

Typological Proof

In the framework of Messiah and His Bride, the one-year wait is seen as an archetype for the "fullness of time":
◦ Agricultural Cycles: In ancient YasharEL, a year represented a full cycle of sowing and reaping. The Groom waited for a "harvest" (the completion of the home) before returning.
The "Long Time" of Absence: Parables like the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25) emphasize that the Groom was gone for a "long time," which in the ancient context meant the completion of the agreed-upon preparation period, usually cited as one year

In the framework of Messiah and His Bride, the "delay" is a deliberate archetypal element used to transition from a literal earthly wedding to a global redemptive timeline. While the ancient Yahudite custom typically involved a one-year wait, the Messiah’s delay signifies several deep mysteries.

1. The Delay Reveals "Authentic Readiness"

In the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:5), the text explicitly states that the "bridegroom was delayed". 

Mat 25:5  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 

The Archetype: In ancient times, the groom's arrival could be delayed by logistical issues, like the father's final inspection of the bridal chamber or last-minute negotiations/preparations.
The Fulfillment: The 2,000-year delay serves to "separate the watchful from the careless". It tests whether the Bride has enough "oil"—representing the internal reality of the Ruach Ha Qodesh—to sustain her faith during the long absence of the Groom.

2. The "Two Day" Revival (Hosea 6:1-2)

Hos 6:1  ‘Come, and let us turn back to יהוה. For He has torn but He does heal us, He has stricken but He binds us up. 
Hos 6:2  After two days He shall revive us, on the third day He shall raise us up, so that we live before Him. 

The mystery of why the "one year" has become 2,000 years is solved through the prophetic formula that "one day is as a thousand years" (2 Peter 3:8). 

2Pe 3:8  But, beloved ones, let not this one matter be hidden from you: that with יהוה one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Prophetic Math: Hosea 6:2 states, "After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up".
Chronological Mystery: If a day is 1,000 years, the "two days" of separation represent the 2,000-year  Age. The "Third Day" corresponds to the seventh millennium—the Great Sabbath where the Groom and Bride finally live together

4. Delay as Divine Mercy

The most common biblical explanation for the delay is patience.

2 Peter 3:9: Yahuah is not "slow" (late), but "patient," not wishing that any should perish.

The Framework: The delay allows more generations of the "chosen Bride" to be born and added to the wedding party before the door is officially shut

The Delay has to match the framework of the Bridegroom as He was raised from the dead on the third day, literally fulfilling Gen 2:3 as He rested IN the 7th day (We will cover this when we see the 7th day in Genesis). The delay is the mechanism that turns a local marriage custom making room for more to come in from the nations who are scattered. It proves that the "one year" of preparation was never just about a physical house, but about the gathering of a global Bride across two millennia (two days) to be ready for the Third Day.

3. The Future Fulfillment : Nissu’in (The Second Coming)

The Nissu'in represents the final consummation of the marriage

Nissuin (𐤍𐤎𐤅𐤀𐤉𐤍/𐤍𐤔𐤅𐤀𐤉𐤍) is the second and final stage of the Yahudite marriage process. While Erusin establishes the legal bond and "sanctifies" the bride, Nissuin represents the actual home-taking and consummation of the marriage

1. Etymology and Biblical Roots

The word is derived from the Hebrew root N-S-Y ( 𐤍𐤔𐤀/ 𐤍𐤎𐤀), which has several layered meanings:

◦To Carry or Take: It literally means "to take" or "to carry," recalling the ancient custom where a groom would physically carry or escort his bride from her father’s house to his own.
◦To Lift Up / Elevation: It also means "to lift up" or "elevate". This signifies that the marriage elevates both partners to a higher spiritual status and a permanent commitment with Elohim.
◦Biblical Usage: While the term Nissuin is Rabbinic, the Bible refers to this stage using the verb lakach ("to take") or bo el ("to go into"). An example is Deuteronomy 20:7: "Who is the man who has betrothed (aras) a woman and has not taken (laqach 𐤋𐤒𐤇) her?"
Patriarchal Times (Tent): In the era of Yitshaq and Rebekah, the finalization of marriage (Nissu'in) was a physical "home-taking." Yitshaq took Rebekah into his mother Sarah’s literal tent. This private act of entering the groom's domain and consummating the union was the "Chuppah" of that time.

Gen 24:67  And Yitsḥaq brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent. And he took (laqach 𐤋𐤒𐤇) Riḇqah and she became his wife, and he loved her. Thus Yitsḥaq was comforted after his mother’s death. 

►The Seven Blessings (Sheba Brachot): In middle ages these are recited during the Nissuin stage, focusing on themes of creation, joy, and the ultimate restoration of Yerushalayim.

We see in Patriachal times the blessing proclaimed on Boaz and Ruth: The focus was on Ephrathah which is Beyth Lechem as well as Yerushalayim (house of Yahudah)

Rth 4:11  And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, “Witnesses! יהוה make the woman who is coming to your house as Raḥěl and as Lě’ah, the two who built the house of Yisra’ěl. And prove your worth in Ephrathah and proclaim the Name in Běyth Leḥem. 
Rth 4:12  “And let your house be like the house of Perets, whom Tamar bore to Yehuḏah, of the seed which יהוה does give you from this young woman.” 

►The Procession: The return of the Messiah is the archetypal wedding procession, often signaled by the sound of a shofar (trumpet). In the parable of the ten virgins, the announcement was made that the Bridegroom is coming. When we see Yahusha's first coming in 4000 years from Adam, we understand that 80 jubilees were compeleted when He announced 

Luk 4:18  “The Spirit of יהוה is upon Me,c because He has anointed Me to bring the Good News to the poor. He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send away crushed ones with a release, 
Luk 4:19  to proclaim the acceptable year of יהוה.

▫ With this annoucement, 40 jubilees remained i.e. 2000 years

The Chuppah (Canopy)/Tent where the Bridegroom takes his Bride: This symbolizes the couple's new home and the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb" described in Revelation 19.
Unity: Only at this stage is the physical and spiritual union fully realized, where the Bride and Groom live together in a tangible, revealed relationship.

►Nissuin (𐤍𐤎𐤅𐤀𐤉𐤍/ 𐤍𐤔𐤅𐤀𐤉𐤍): is primarily a Rabbinic Hebrew term developed to describe the final stage of marriage, its root verb—Nasa (𐤍𐤔𐤀/ 𐤍𐤎𐤀 )—is used throughout the Hebrew Bible with the meaning of "to take," "to lift up," or "to carry".
In a matrimonial context, the root Nasa signifies the "home-taking" of the bride, where the groom officially "carries" her from her father’s domain into his own.

▫The most direct use of the root Nasa (𐤍𐤔𐤀/𐤍𐤎𐤀) to mean "getting married" or "taking a wife" occurs in later biblical Hebrew:

2 Chronicles 11:21: And Reḥaḇ‛am loved Ma‛aḵah the granddaughter of Aḇshalom more than all his wives and his concubines. For he had taken Nasa (𐤍𐤔𐤀/𐤍𐤎𐤀)  eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and brought forth twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. 

2 Chronicles 13:21: "But Abiyah grew strong, and took (nasa/𐤍𐤔𐤀/𐤍𐤎𐤀) fourteen wives..."
Ezra 9:2 & 10:44: Describes the YasharElites who had "taken" (nasa/𐤍𐤔𐤀/𐤍𐤎𐤀) foreign wives.
Ruth 1:4: "And they took (nasa/𐤍𐤔𐤀/𐤍𐤎𐤀) for themselves wives of the women of Moab...

Typological Roots: "Lifting Up" and "Carrying"

The root Nasa also means to "lift up" or "exalt", which provides the archetypal meaning for the Nissuin stage in the Messiah and His Bride framework: 

◦Exodus 19:4: Elohim tells YasharEL, "I carried (nasa/𐤍𐤔𐤀/𐤍𐤎𐤀) you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself". This is seen as a divine act of "home-taking" after the betrothal at Sinai.
Isaiah 63:9: "In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He lifted them up (nasa/𐤍𐤔𐤀/𐤍𐤎𐤀) and carried them all the days of old".
Psalm 32:1: "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven (nasa/𐤍𐤔𐤀/𐤍𐤎𐤀 - literally 'lifted off')." In this sense, the Groom "lifts" the burden of the Bride to bring her into His home.

“Historical Case Study: Erusin in Action”

In the biblical account of Matthew 1:18–19, Yoseph and Miriam were in the Erusin(betrothal) stage of marriage.

▫ Legal Standing of their Status:

Though modern translations often use the word "engaged," their relationship was a legally binding marriage in ancient Yahudite custom: 

◦Legally Husband and Wife: During Erusin, the couple was already considered husband and wife. In Matthew 1:19, Yoseph is explicitly referred to as Miriam's "husband".

Mat 1:19  And Yosěph her husband, being righteous, and not wishing to make a show of her, had in mind to put her away secretly. 

Living Separately: Although legally bound, the couple did not yet live together or have a physical relationship. This interim period (often lasting about a year or two) was for the groom to prepare a home and the bride to prepare her trousseau.
Requirement of Divorce: Because the bond was legally complete, it could only be broken by death or a formal religious divorce, known as a Sefer Keritut. This is why the text says Yoseph planned to "divorce" or "put her away" privately.

The Archetypal Meaning in the Account

The fact that Yoseph and Miriam were in the Erusin stage is critical to the narrative:

Adultery Charges: Because they were betrothed, any unfaithfulness by Miriam would have been legally classified as adultery, not fornication. Under Mosaic law, this was potentially punishable by stoning (Deuteronomy 22:23–24).
Yoseph’s Righteousness: As a "just" or "righteous" man, Yoseph was faced with a conflict between the Law (which demanded public exposure) and mercy. His plan to "divorce her quietly" was an attempt to fulfill the legal requirement of ending the marriage while sparing Miriam from public shame and potential execution.
Transition to Nissuin: The stage changed only after the angel’s intervention, when Yoseph "took unto him his wife" (Matthew 1:24), which represents the Nissuin (home-taking) stage.

Mat 1:24  And Yosěph, awaking from his sleep, did as the messenger of יהוה commanded him and took his wife, 
 
What is the significance of this in the marriage framework being completed by Messiah as His foster parents almost went into a divorce but since incarnation was divinely appointed, how does all this fit in?

In the framework of Messiah and His Bride, the near-divorce of Yoseph and Miriam is not a historical accident, but a critical legal and typological requirement. It fits into the framework by establishing the Messiah’s legal lineage while simultaneously protecting the mystery of His divine origin.

1. The Legal Requirement

 For the Messiah to be the legitimate King of YasharEL, He had to fulfill two seemingly contradictory requirements:

◦ Legal Paternal Line: He must be the son of a descendant of David (Yoseph) to inherit the legal right to the throne.
◦ Divine Virgin Birth: He must be conceived by the Ruach Ha Qodesh (divine origin) to be the "Son of Elohim" and untainted by human lineage. 
The Erusin (betrothal) stage was the only window in which both could coexist. Because they were legally married, any child born to Miriam was legally Yoseph's. If they were not yet in Erusin, the child would be considered illegitimate; if they were already in Nissu'in (living together), the "sign" of the virgin birth would be obscured from the public

2. The Significance of the Near-Divorce

Yoseph’s intent to divorce Miriam (Matthew 1:19) serves as a legal "witness" to the virgin birth:

◦The Internal Witness: Yoseph’s plan to "put her away" proves that he was not the biological father. His initial doubt and subsequent obedience provide the strongest historical testimony that the conception was supernatural.
◦The Righteous Mediator: Yoseph is described as a "just" (tzadik) man. In the framework, he represents the Torah. The Torah required punishment for adultery, but Yoseph’s "quiet divorce" reflects the mercy that would later be perfected in Messiah

3. Transition to Nissu'in (The Home-Taking)

The divine intervention (the angel's message) stopped the divorce and commanded the immediate transition to Nissu'in—the home-taking. 

The Adoption: When Yoseph "took her into his home," he effectively adopted the unborn child. In Yahudite law, an adopted son has full inheritance rights. Hence, Yahusha inherited the full rights of David through Yospeh even though Yoseph was not His biological father, as Yoseph was from the Davidic lineage. 
◦The Protection: By taking her home during the Erusin period (rather than waiting the typical year or two), Yoseph provided the necessary social cover and legal protection for the Messiah to be born into a legitimate, Davidic household.

4. Typological Fulfillment

This earthly drama mirrors the relationship between Elohim and His people:

The Hosea Pattern: Just as Elohim in typology prophetically took back an "unfaithful" bride in the book of Hosea (Hosea 2), Yoseph’s act of taking Miriam home despite the perception of unfaithfulness mirrors Elohim’s  grace toward a wandering humanity who without Torah wouldn’t understand His Marriage Laws and His love surrounding them. 
The Prophetic Proof: The situation ensured that Yahusha was born to a virgin (fulfilling Isaiah 7:14) while still being the "Son of David" (fulfilling the Davidic Covenant). 


The term Mohar 𐤌𐤄𐤓  is explicitly used in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and appears exactly three times across three specific verses. It refers to the "bride price" or "purchase price" given by a groom or his family to the bride's father to effectuate a marriage.

Genesis 34:12: When Shechem seeks to marry Yaaqob's daughter Dinah, he says, "Ask of me a bride-price (mohar) ever so high, as well as gifts, and I will pay what you tell me; only give me the maiden for a wife".

Exodus 22:16–17 (Hebrew text v. 15–16): This law dictates that if a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed, he must pay the bridal price (mohar) and marry her. Even if the father refuses the marriage, the man must still pay the equivalent of the "mohar of virgins".

1 Samuel 18:25: King Saul uses the custom to set a trap for David, stating, "The king desires no other bride-price (mohar) than a hundred Philistine foreskins".

►Costly Price: Just as a groom secured his bride with a tangible, valuable payment, the Messiah secured His Bride with His own blood (1 Peter 1:18–19).

1Pe 1:18  knowing that you were redeemed from your futile behaviour inherited from your fathers, not with what is corruptible, silver or gold, 
1Pe 1:19  but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, 

►Legal Fulfillment: In the "Messiah and His Bride" framework, the Renewed Covenant is viewed as the Ketubah (marriage contract) where the sacrifice on the Stake is the ultimate Mohar.

 THE SCROLL AS THE KETUBAH (MARRIAGE CONTRACT)

In ancient Hebrew marriage, the Ketubah was a legally binding covenant document defining:
◦ The bride-price (Mohar)
◦ The groom’s obligations 
◦ The bride’s secured inheritance

 ARCHETYPAL ALIGNMENT — THE CONTENT OF THE SCROLL

◦ The scroll represents the completed covenant terms
◦ It contains what has already been decreed, sworn, and sealed
◦ Nothing is added at this stage — it is lawfully executed, not negotiated
◦ The scroll therefore functions as proof of covenant fulfillment, not a proposal


THE BRIDEGROOM AND THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE


◦The same Bridegroom who once divorced His wife (Jer 3; Hos 2) now returns in a transitioned form to redeem and restore her
◦The renewal of the marriage is not sentimental but legal
◦The Mohar is paid by the Bridegroom Himself
◦The proof of wedlock is blood
◦When the wife failed,the Husband did not demand her blood,He shed His own blood

►Thus:
◦the Ketubah is validated
◦the Covenant is renewed
◦the Bride is restored without violating justice

REVELATION 5 –THE SCROLL SWITCHING HANDS

Rev 5:7  And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him sitting on the throne. 

The Hand-off (Rev 5:7): When the Lamb takes the scroll from the Father:
◦He is formally recognized as having fulfilled all legal requirements
◦The Bride is now lawfully claimable
◦The seals represent the removal of every remaining legal, spiritual, and territorial barrier prior to Nissu’in
◦This is not the wedding — it is the authorization to proceed.

 THE SCROLL AS THE TITLE DEED OF INHERITANCE

In Hebrew law, land lost through debt could be redeemed only by a kinsman-redeemer (Go’el).

Biblical Precedents:
◦Ruth — Boaz redeems the inheritance and the bride
◦Jeremiah 32 — a sealed deed proves lawful ownership and future restoration

►Archetypal Alignment: The Redemption Price
◦The Lamb’s blood is the ransom price
◦Worthiness is proven not by power, but by obedient sacrifice
◦YasharEL lost right to the inheritance in the land, it is restored in New Yerushalayim by Mashiyach Yahusha

The Legal Act: Taking the scroll signifies: 
◦Re claiming His Creation
◦Restoration of the Bride’s dwelling lawful repossession of the “house” prepared during the betrothal period
◦The world is not destroyed — it is redeemed as the marital home

THE PROOF OF WORTHINESS AND THE END OF WAITING

Revelation 5:4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. 

►John’s weeping represents the crisis of the betrothal period:
◦If no one is worthy
◦The scroll remains sealed
◦The marriage cannot proceed
◦The Bride remains in perpetual waiting

►The Lamb’s Right: The Lamb alone is worthy because:

Revelation 5:9 And they sang a renewed song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and have redeemed us to Elohim by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation

◦He paid the Mohar in blood
◦He conquered through obedience
◦He satisfied every covenant demand
◦Transition Toward Nissu’in

►Taking the scroll marks:
◦The end of legal delay
◦The beginning of active consummation steps
◦The shift from preparation to execution


►Revelation 5 does not answer when the wedding occurs —it establishes why it can now occur lawfully.
◦The Bride is secured.
◦The price is paid.
◦The inheritance is reclaimed.
◦Authority is transferred.
◦The Groom now moves toward Nissu’in.

THE DAY AND THE HOUR — MARRIAGE FRAMEWORK INTEGRATION

Why “the Son does not know” is legal, not cognitive

Mark 13:32 “Concerning that day and the hour, no one knows, not the messengers, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

►At first reading, the verse appears to:

◦lower the Son beneath angels
◦imply ignorance
◦contradict His divine knowledge
◦Notice the heirarchy in Mark 13:32 is Father, Son, Messengers and then ones who dont know (creation)

Marriage framework resolves the tension:

◦This verse is not epistemology (what the Son knows).
◦It is jurisdiction (When it may be announced) which the Father kept within Himself in the Covenantal Marriage Framework.

DAY” AND “HOUR” AS HEBREW TIME IDIOM IN BETROTHAL

Day

◦Greek: hemera (G2250)
◦Hebrew: yom (𐤉𐤅𐤌)
◦Meaning: an extended appointed period / era

Hour

◦Greek: hora (G5610)
◦Hebrew: sha’ah (𐤔𐤏𐤄)
◦Meaning: a decisive trigger moment within a larger period

Thus:

Day = the full covenantal transition into consummation
Hour = the authorized activation moment
◦This perfectly matches betrothal → consummation logic.

ACTS 1:7 EXPLAINS MARK 13:32

Acts 1:7 “It is not for you to know times (chronos/haatim 𐤄𐤏𐤕𐤉𐤌) or seasons (kairos/hazamanim 𐤄𐤆𐤌𐤍𐤉𐤌) which the Father has placed in His own authority (exousia/Bashalatnu 𐤁𐤔𐤋𐤈𐤍𐤅).”

Chronos

◦Extended, ordered time
◦Hebrew: haatim 𐤄𐤏𐤕𐤉𐤌
◦The long betrothal/exile span

Kairos

◦Decisive moment
◦Hebrew: hazamanim 𐤄𐤆𐤌𐤍𐤉𐤌
◦The trigger of return/consummation

Exousia

◦Lawful authority
◦Jurisdiction
◦Right to declare
◦Hebrew: Bashalatnu 𐤁𐤔𐤋𐤈𐤍𐤅
 
Bashalatnu 𐤁𐤔𐤋𐤈𐤍𐤅

◦𐤁-In
◦𐤔𐤋𐤈𐤍-– rule, dominion, governance
◦𐤅-His
◦Put together: “within His rule / jurisdiction”  

This is marriage law language

MARRIAGE LAW: WHO KNOWS THE DAY?

In ancient Hebrew marriage:

  • The Son (groom):

    • prepares the dwelling

    • knows the covenant

    • knows the bride is his

    • does not announce the return day

  • The Father:

    • inspects readiness

    • holds the jurisdiction

    • declares the day of return

•Therefore:

◦“No one knows the day or the hour but the Father”
◦= legal order, not lack of knowledge.

JOHN 14:2–3 AS FORMAL BETROTHAL SPEECH

Joh 14:2  “In My Father’s house are many staying places. And if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 
Joh 14:3  “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I shall come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you might be too. 


This is:
◦Erusin language
◦Not metaphor
◦A groom speaking under his Father’s authority

The Son’s role:
◦Preparation
◦Faithfulness
◦Obedience

The Father’s role:
◦Authorization
◦Declaration
◦Timing

SEALED TIME DURING BETROTHAL (DANIEL)

Daniel 12:9 And he said, “Go, Dani’ěl, the words are shut up (satham) and sealed (chatham) until the time of the end.”

Satham
◦Restrained
◦Withheld

Chatham

◦Sealed by king’s ring
  
Meaning:
◦The timing exists
◦The decree is complete
◦Disclosure is lawfully restricted

This corresponds to the betrothal waiting period.

REVELATION 1: JURISDICTION GIVEN TO THE SON

Rev 1:1  Revelation of יהושע Messiah, which Elohim gave Him to show His servants what has to take place with speed. And He signified it by sending His messenger to His servant Yoḥanan, 

Revelation is:
◦Given to the Son
◦What has to take place with speed
◦Signified it by sending His messenger to John

This signals the beginning of authority transfer concealed in the scroll, to be revealed in its time by the Son Himself to His Bride.

REVELATION 5: BETROTHAL → AUTHORIZATION TRANSITION

When the Lamb takes the scroll:

◦The Ketubah / Title Deed is transferred
◦Worthiness is legally recognized
◦The groom is now authorized to act
◦This is not yet Nissu’in, but it is the end of restricted waiting.

►From this point onward:

◦Seals open
◦Events accelerate
◦The “hour” becomes actionable

WHY THE SON COULD SAY “I DO NOT KNOW” AND STILL KNOW

Before the scrolls exchanged hands in Revelation 5:
◦Authority to declare was retained by the Father
◦Timing was sealed
◦The Son knew the Day and the Hour but was obediently silent

Aftethe scrolls exchanged hands in Revelation 5:

◦The Son opens seals
◦Announces warnings
◦Executes judgment

Thus:

◦“The Son does not know” means in obedience He didn't announce yet
◦Not ignorance
◦Not inferiority

THIEF IN THE NIGHT: MARRIAGE LOGIC

Rev 16:15  “See, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who is staying awake and guarding his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” 

►A thief is:

◦Unexpected to outsiders
◦Not unexpected to the household
◦The Groom knows the hour
◦The Bride watches and is made aware of the return season
◦The world/yet divorced is unaware.

This is marriage imagery, not contradiction.

DAY, HOUR, SEALS, AND TRUMPETS AS ONE SYSTEM

  • Day (yom / hemera)
    → the full covenantal transition into rest and marriage

  • Hour (sha’ah / hora)
    → the authorized trigger within that Day

  • Seals
    → lawful concealment during betrothal

  • Trumpet
    → the Father’s public declaration

Everything functions lawfully, not randomly.

CREATION DAYS AS ARCHETYPAL, NOT MERELY CHRONOLOGICAL

The Creation Days (Genesis 1–2) are not merely a sequence of time, but a prophetic, covenantal architecture that establishes the entire redemptive framework of Scripture.

They reveal:

  • Pattern before history

  • Meaning before measurement

  • Messiah before manifestation

THE DAYS AS PROPHETIC ARCHETYPES

1. YOM ECHAD 𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤀𐤇𐤃 — UNITY

Genesis 1:5: “And there was evening and morning, yom 𐤉𐤅𐤌 echad 𐤀𐤇𐤃

  • Light before luminaries

  • Order before structure

  • All distinctions collapse into one source

  • Witnesses Messiah as the beginning, the Day-Star in whom all divisions find coherence

John 1:4–5 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness…
John 8:12 I am the Light of the world.
Revelation 22:16 I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star

Collapse into Yahusha, the Day-Star, the Echad Light. Yom echad is archetypal of Messiah Himself, before measurement of time.

2. YOM SHENI  𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤔𐤍𐤉 — DIVISION

Gen 1:8 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the day 𐤉𐤅𐤌 second 𐤔𐤍𐤉

Meaning of Sheni 𐤔𐤍𐤉:

◦Two
◦Double
◦Repetition
◦Witness
◦Division that anticipates reconciliation
  • Waters above / waters below

  • Heaven and earth distinguished

  • Separation that anticipates reconciliation

  • Witnesses Messiah as the Mediator, the Water of Life standing between realms

John 3:13 No one has ascended into heaven except the Son of Man who descended from heaven

John 4:14 The water that I shall give will become a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.

John 7:37 And on the last day, the great day of the festival, יהושע stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me, and let him who believes in Me drink. 
Joh 7:38  “As the Scripture said, out of His innermost shall flow rivers of living water

3. YOM SHELISHI  𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤔𐤋𐤉𐤔𐤉— WITNESS & SEED

► Third witness, seed after its kind, land and seas divided

Gen 1:9  And Elohim said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it came to be so. 
Gen 1:11  And Elohim said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the plant that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth.” And it came to be so. 
Gen 1:10  And Elohim called the dry land ‘earth,’ and the collection of the waters He called ‘seas.’ And Elohim saw that it was good. 
Gen 1:12  And the earth brought forth grass, the plant that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was good. 
Gen 1:13  And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the third day (𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤔𐤋𐤉𐤔𐤉). 

► Meaning of SHELISHI 𐤔𐤋𐤉𐤔𐤉 

◦Third 
◦Established witness 
◦Confirmation
  • Land and seas distinguished

  • Seed after its kind

  • Fruit bearing identity

  • Witnesses Messiah as the singular Seed, restoring scattered identity and covenant inheritance

Covenant collapse into Yahusha

Galatians 3:16 But the promises were spoken to Aḇraham, and to his Seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Messiah.

Scattered seed : 1 Peter 1:1 Kepha, an emissary of יהושע Messiah, to the chosen, strangers of the dispersion in Pontos, Galatia, Kappadokia, Asia, and Bithunia, 

◦Named after its kind among nations
◦Finds its true identity only in Yahusha
◦YOM SHELISHI 𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤔𐤋𐤉𐤔𐤉 is the third witness of redemption.

Identity restored : John 12:24 Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone…

◦Land and seas
◦Land → covenant people (YasharEL)
◦Seas → nations

Isa 60:5  “Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the nations come to you.

4. YOM RABIYI 𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤓𐤁𐤉𐤏𐤉— TIME & SIGNS

Lights for signs, seasons, days, years → fulfillment of timekeepers

Gen 1:14  And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years, 

Meaning of Rabiyi 𐤓𐤁𐤉𐤏𐤉

Col 2:16  Let no one therefore judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a festival or a new moon or Sabbaths – 
Col 2:17  which are a shadow of what is to come – but the Body is Messiah

John 8:12 I am the Light of the world.

Matthew 24:30 “And then the sign of the Son of Aḏam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming on the clouds

Witnesses Messiah as the fulfillment of time, the Light by whom all appointed times terminate

Yom 𐤉𐤅𐤌 Rabiyi 𐤓𐤁𐤉𐤏𐤉 points to:
◦The end of the time keepers illumation
◦Revelation that Yahusha fulfilled the signs, moedim fully
◦All eyes lifted upward -now to Him and not to sun, moon and stars

5. YOM CHAMISHI 𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤇𐤌𐤉𐤔𐤉— LIFE IN TWO REALMS

Birds of heaven and fish of sea → two-witness redemption

Gen 1:20  And Elohim said, “Let the waters teem with shoals of living beings, and let birds fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.” 
Gen 1:21  And Elohim created great sea creatures and every living being that moves, with which the waters teemed, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was good. 
Gen 1:22  And Elohim blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and increase, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 
Gen 1:23  And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the fifth day 𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤇𐤌𐤉𐤔𐤉.

Meaning of Chamishi 𐤇𐤌𐤉𐤔𐤉
◦Fifth 
◦Torah of Life/Grace 
◦Movement beyond boundaries

►Archetypal witnesses
◦Birds— heavens, freedom 
◦Fish — seas, nations
◦Two realms, one blessing

Isa 40:31  but those who wait on יהוה renew their strength, they raise up the wing like eagles, they run and are not weary, they walk and do not faint. 

Rising up with wings of eagles is empowerment. Eagle face was the back face of the cherub's seen in vision which show the behind portion/deep things from Torah not visible to the naked eye

Mat 4:19  And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I shall make you fishers of men.” 

  • Witnesses Messiah as Redeemer of both realms, gathering the remnant from nations

6. YOM SHISHI 𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤔𐤔𐤉— IMAGE & DOMINION

Gen 1:26  And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the ground.” 
Gen 1:27  And Elohim created the man in His image; in the image of Elohim, He created him – male and female He created them. 

►Meaning of Shishi 𐤔𐤔𐤉
◦Sixth 
◦Completion of work 
◦Humanity revealed

►Archetypal truths
◦Male and female 
◦Image and likeness 
◦Promise of Dominion over all created realms
◦Bride taken from within the Man

  • Witnesses Messiah as the Son of Adam, forming His Bride from His own body. The physical man was unable to attain the dominion, was unable to redeem his Bride being in cycles of 6 being in sin. Yahusha as the sinless Son of Adam attains both to take her to the completion denoted by 7.

7. YOM SHEBIYI 𐤉𐤅𐤌 𐤔𐤁𐤉𐤏𐤉— REST & CONSUMMATION

►Rest, inheritance, consummation

Gen 2:2  And in the seventh day Elohim completed His work which He had done, and He rested in the day (𐤁𐤉𐤅𐤌) seventh (𐤔𐤁𐤉𐤏𐤉)from all His work which He had made. In (not ‘by’ or ‘on’) the seventh day - Hebrew: Bayyom haShḇi‛i. 
Gen 2:3  And Elohim blessed the seventh day and set it apart, because on it He rested from all His work which Elohim in creating had made. 

Meaning of Shebiyi 𐤔𐤁𐤉𐤏𐤉
◦Seventh 
◦He went into Shemitah completion into waiting period for His Bride
◦The Bride has to attain it as Heb 4:9 says “There remains a Sabbath rest for the people of Elohim”
◦John 14:2–3 “I go to prepare a place for you… I will come again and receive you”

►Archetypal truths
◦Work completed 
◦Inheritance received
◦Dwelling together
◦No evening or morning recorded
◦Eternal rest entered
  • Witnesses Messiah as the consummation, carrying the Bride into the Day that never ends𐤑

Rev 19:7  “Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife prepared herself.” 

►YOM 𐤉𐤅𐤌 Shebiyi 𐤔𐤁𐤉𐤏𐤉 witnesses:

The works were finished from the foundation of the world and the Elohim fullness entered into the Day which never ends (eternal) and waits for everything He ordained to fall in line with His works, carrying His Bride into the Day. Scripture never says “evening and morning” for the seventh day

 Hebrews 4:3 ….“Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world”

▪CREATION DAYS AS THE MARRIAGE FRAMEWORK

DAY 1 — BETROTHAL INTENT (YOM ECHAD)

Light appears before structure.

This corresponds to:

  • Covenant intention

  • Choice before formation

  • The Groom’s declaration: “She is Mine”

Betrothal begins in purpose, not proximity.

Messiah is revealed as:

  • the Day-Star

  • the One in whom all distinctions collapse into unity

Marriage truth: The Bride is chosen before she is formed.

DAY 2 — SEPARATION FOR UNION (YOM SHENI)

Waters divided: above and below.

This corresponds to:

  • Separation / Divorce. The Bride is in carnal washings from ther water on earth

  • Distance from the Groom. Identity lost

  • Heaven and earth held apart temporarily

Messiah stands:

  • between the waters

  • as the Mediator

Marriage truth: Betrothal requires separation, hence, the same Bridegroom transitioned and purified His bride with his Blood and Water. Division exists, but reconciliation is already guaranteed.

DAY 3 — IDENTITY AND SEED (YOM SHELISHI)

Land appears; seed after its kind is established.

This corresponds to:

  • Covenant identity restoration as Abrahamic SEED

  • Inheritance language

  • The Bride begins to know who she is as he comes from her womb redeeming it (She shall be saved in child bearing 1Tim 2:15)

The Seed is Mashiyach as the Promise was not to Seeds as of many but to the SEED (Gal 3:16):

  • Singular

  • Named

  • Fruitful 

Marriage truth: The Bride’s identity is physically lost but spiritually reserved during separation,and restored through the true Seed, who is Messiah.

DAY 4 — APPOINTED TIMES FOR RETURN (YOM RABIYI)

Lights are placed for signs, moedim, days, and years for the Bride as a school master to lead her to her Groom.

This corresponds to:

  • Timing authority

  • Appointed meetings

  • Jurisdiction over the return

Messiah fulfills:

  • all signs

  • all seasons

  • all measurements of time

Marriage truth: The return of the Groom is not guessed —the timing is appointed by the Father in His jurisdiction and few realize the completion, while the rest are still looking at the time keepers for their Illumination.

DAY 5 — TWO-REALM REDEMPTION (YOM CHAMISHI)

Birds of heaven and fish of the sea are formed and blessed.

This corresponds to:

  • Two realms

  • One redemption

  • One calling

The Groom gathers:

  • the scattered

  • the bound

  • the hidden remnant

Marriage truth: The Bride is gathered from both realms as birds of the air and fish of the sea by the Torah of life (chamishi (5) stands for Torah and Grace) during the Groom’s absence, the Bride is empowered to live in sanctification in her Betrothal to the Groom.

DAY 6 — BRIDE FORMED FROM WITHIN (YOM SHISHI)

Male and female were created; dominion was assigned but not attained. The Identity restoration of the Bride comes with the promise of dominion over creation

This corresponds to:

  • Image and likeness

  • Authority

  • The Bride taken from the Man’s side

Messiah is:

  • the Son of Adam

  • the true Man

  • the One from whom the Bride is drawn

Marriage truth: The Bride does not come from outside Him —she comes from within Him. Flesh of His Flesh and Bone of His bones. She is Betrothed to the construct of Her Husband

DAY 7 — CONSUMMATION AND DWELLING (YOM SHEBIYI)

Work is finished. No evening or morning is recorded.

This corresponds to:

  • Nissu’in (consummation)

  • Dwelling together

  • Eternal rest

The Groom:

  • enters rest

  • waits for the Bride

  • brings her into the Day that never ends

Marriage truth: Creation ends where marriage ends —rest, inheritance, and dwelling together.

THE CREATION–MARRIAGE AXIOM

➤Creation establishes:

  • the choice of the Bride

  • the separation of betrothal

  • the preservation of identity

  • the appointment of return

  • the gathering of the Bride

  • the formation of union

  • the consummation in rest

Thus:

◦ Creation is the Ketubah in motion
◦ History is the betrothal period
◦ Redemption is the Mohar paid in blood
◦ The Seventh Day is the Wedding Feast

▪THE FEASTS OF YAHUAH AS THE MARRIAGE FRAMEWORK

The Moedim of Yahuah (Leviticus 23) are not isolated festivals; they are the legal, covenantal timeline of the marriage between Messiah and His Bride, unfolding according to divine jurisdiction and appointed times.

1.Passover establishes the betrothal (Erusin):
– the Bride is purchased
– the Mohar is paid in blood
– the covenant is cut and binding

2. Unleavened Bread marks separation and sanctification:
– the Bride cleans her house of her old leaven of sin
– corruption is put away
– preparation begins immediately after covenant

3. Firstfruits provides the legal guarantee:
– the resurrection pledge is given
– the full harvest is assured but not yet gathered

4. Pentecost (Shabuot) forms and seals the Bride during the Groom’s absence:
– Torah written on hearts
– Ruach given
– empowerment for faithfulness in separation

 Between Pentecost and Trumpets lies the betrothal waiting period:
– no date is given-will be revealed just before the end
– the day and the hour remain under the Father’s jurisdiction
– the Bride watches, prepares, and proves faithfulness

5. Trumpets is the Father’s authoritative declaration (Beginning of Nissu'in)
– the announcement that the Groom may return
– the release of action following jurisdiction transfer
– the awakening call to readiness

6. Atonement effects cleansing and judgment:
– removal of defilement
– purification of the Bride
– judgment of all opposition to the marriage

7. Tabernacles is the consummation (Nissu’in):
– dwelling together
– joy and inheritance
– fulfillment of the Seventh Day rest

Thus, the Feasts of Yahuah reveal:

– the process of redemption
– the timing of the marriage
– the authority structure between Father and Son
– and the consummation of the covenant

Creation established the pattern.
The Seventh Day revealed the goal.
The Moedim provide the legal pathway.
The Marriage Framework explains the timing and order.

Nothing is delayed.
Nothing is random.
Everything is appointed.

▪POINT-BY-POINT SUMMARY

A. The Core Problem

  • Mark 13:32 appears to imply ignorance in the Son

  • This contradicts multiple Scriptures affirming His omniscience

B. The Governing Principle

  • The issue is not knowledge, but authority to declare

  • Scripture defines “knowing” time through covenant jurisdiction

C. Language of Time

  • Yom / Hemera = extended appointed period

  • Sha’ah / Hora = decisive trigger within that period

  • “Day and Hour” together describe process + activation

D. Moedim as Covenant Timeline

  • Moedim are legal appointments, not rituals

  • First cycle fulfilled in Messiah’s first coming

  • Second cycle awaits consummation

  • The gap explains perpetual watchfulness

E. Marriage Framework

  • Erusin = legally binding betrothal

  • Nissu’in = consummation after separation

  • Father alone declares readiness

  • Groom prepares, waits, obeys

F. Revelation 5 as Legal Transition

  • Scroll = Ketubah + Title Deed

  • Transfer of authority from Father to Son

  • End of restricted waiting

  • Beginning of execution

G. Creation Days as Marriage Architecture

  • Day 1: Betrothal intent

  • Day 2: Separation anticipating reconciliation

  • Day 3: Identity and Seed

  • Day 4: Appointed times for return

  • Day 5: Two-realm redemption

  • Day 6: Bride formed from within

  • Day 7: Consummation and eternal rest

H. Final Outcome

  • Creation → Marriage → Moedim → Revelation

  • One continuous covenant design

  • Nothing delayed, nothing random
