Mark13:32 “But the time of the coming of that day and that hour, no one knows -- not even the messengers in the heavens nor even the Son -- except the Father.”
Matt 24:36 “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers of the heavens, but My Father only
Scriptures read at face value without a scriptural understanding will result in different interpretations.
There are three interpretations in Christendom carried over to Hebrew mentality
1. Trinitarian view: Messiah was hybrid, in human body he chose not to know and in spirit He knows
2. Unitarian: Messiah was a created being not knowing as he can only do what he sees His Father doing
3. Oneness: Messiah emptied himself when he came on earth and hence, he didn't know when in human body
All 3 views are wrong as they lack scriptural reasoning and understanding
The renewed testament if read in isolation from Old covenant which is everlasting, many errors are concluded. The context here is the Second coming of Mashiyach and the events that must take place before He returns.
Without understanding the appointment with Yahuah one would never understand why there is a need to get back into the Shemitah which seems to be lost.
Shemitah: The Shemitah was a sacred seven year custom that was put into practice by the Hebrew communities which had the explicit purpose of forgiving all the debts that accumulated during the previous 7 years.
The beginning of Shemitah is seen in the commands to observe the muaedim/appointed times of Yahuah as stated in Lev 23.
Mashiyach fulfilled the spring feasts/appointed times literally.
He died on Passover day and became the Passover Lamb (1Corn 5:7)
Mashiyach was the unleavened bread who came down from heaven and slept 3 days and 3 nights burying our leaven i Himself in the depths of the earth (1Corin 5:7-8, John 6)
He rose from the dead exactly when the Shabbat was transitioning to morrow after the Shabbat being the first fruits.
1Corn 15: 20 But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, and has become the first-fruit of those having fallen asleep.
He walked 40 days after his resurrection with the talmidim/disciples after he rose from the dead.
Acts 1:3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them for forty days, speaking concerning the reign of Elohim.
He poured out His Ruach exactly on the 50th day from firstfruits and 10th day after He ascended into the shamayim/heaven .While He literally fulfilled the spring feasts, the fall feasts are yet to be fulfilled.The fall feasts are related to his Second coming beginning with the blowing of the trumpets i.e. the appointed time of blowing of the trumpets
1Thess 4:15 For this we say to you by the word of the Master, that we, the living who are left over at the coming of the Master shall in no way go before those who are asleep 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. 17 Then we, the living who are left over, shall be caught away together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air – and so we shall always be with the Master.
This is followed by the Day of Atonement, when Yasharal will receive the forgiveness and incorporation to His former estate, when He receives His inheritance in Mashiyach. When the Gentiles who are Yasharal in dispersion will receive the true tribe name
Followed by the feast of Tabernacles i.e. the marriage supper of the Lamb. The tabernacle of Yahuah will everlastingly be with man.
How was the feast/appointed time of blowing of trumpets in the 7th month observed?
Lev 23:24 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘In the seventh new moon, on the first day of the new moon, you have a rest, a remembrance of Teruʽah, c a set-apart gathering.
25 ‘You do no servile work, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.’ ”
It was on sighting of the new moon witness that the trumpets were blowing announcing the beginning of the seventh month or feast of trumpets.
What is significant of the Angels or the Son not knowing the day or the hour and what does it mean?
The plague of thick darkness for three days:
Exo 10: 21 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and let there be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, even a darkness which is felt.”
22 And Mosheh stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Mitsrayim for three days.
23 They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, while all the children of Yisra’ĕl had light in their dwellings.
While there is no direct reference in scriptures on three days of darkness, we must look at historical evidence of what happened in Mitsrayim and how it relates to end times
There are various scriptures indicating the sun will turn black and the moon not give its light. Here are a few
Rev 6:12 And I looked when He opened the sixth seal and saw a great earthquake came to be. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
Joel 3:15 Sun and moon shall become dark, and stars shall withdraw their brightness.
16 And יהוה shall roar from Tsiyon, and give forth His voice from Yerushalayim. And the heavens and earth shall shake, but יהוה shall be a refuge for His people
Its called the Day of Yahuah
Joel 2:1 Blow a shophar in Tsiyon, and sound an alarm in My set-apart mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the earth tremble, for the day of יהוה is coming, for it is near: 2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains – a people many and strong, the like of whom has never been, nor shall there ever be again after them, to the years of many generations.
Zech 14: 5 And you shall flee to the valley of My mountain – for the valley of the mountains reaches to Atsal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziyah sovereign of Yehuḏah. And יהוה my Elohim shall come – all the set-apart ones with You. 6 And in that day it shall be: there is no light, it is dark. 7 And it shall be one day which is known to יהוה, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light.
Isaiah 13:9 See, the day of יהוה is coming, fierce, with wrath and heat of displeasure, to lay the earth waste, and destroy its sinners from it. 10 For the stars of the heavens and their constellations do not give off their light. The sun shall be dark at its rising, and the moon not send out its light. 11 “And I shall punish the world for its evil, and the wrong for their crookedness, and shall put an end to the arrogance of the proud, and lay low the pride of the ruthless.
While the spiritual fulfilment is in progress as most of Yasharal is in apostasy, the literal will happen known as the Day of Yahuah.
The ninth plague in Mitsrayim was this plague of thick darkness when the constellations ceased giving light over the land of Mitsrayim while Yasharal had light in their dwelling.
How can we know that this will be a three days period?
Mashiyach in Matthew 24 speaks of the sign of Yonah which he literally fulfilled by being three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
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. 2 After two days He shall revive us, on the third day He shall raise us up, so that we live before Him.
While Mashiyach went through the three days and nights of darkness in Sheol, he brings us through His death into His resurrection, into eternal life through Him.
There was a 3 hours literal darkness when Mashiyach hung on the stake (from 12pm to 3pm) which is also significant of the 'Day and the hour'
Hos 6 speaks of us returning to Yahuah to be healed after being torn by Him, to be bound up and in the third day/ bayom shalashay he will raise us up and we shall live before Him
ZacharYah says in 14:7 and its shall be achad yom which is KNOWN TO YAHUAH
The word achad can be translated as One or to unify. We will understand what this means in a bit but whats important to know is that it is a yom/day known to Yahuah.
What is the sign of appointed time/ feast of Trumpets? The sighting of the New Moon. But when the sun and moon and stars will not give their light, how will the witness watchers announce the trumpets?
The Yahudite Midrash says there were two witnesses who waited for the sighting of the new moon on their watch post and would report the sighting to the High Priest and immediately the trumpets would be blown on their witness
Remember the two witnesses spoken of in Revelation 11? The living creature made war and overcame them and their dead bodies were lying on the streets of Yerushalam which spiritually is called Mitsrayim and Sodom, where our Master was impaled. For three and a half days their bodies were lying and the Ruach of life entered them and they were taken into the shamayim/heavens
Rev11:8 and their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Seḏom and Mitsrayim, where also our Master was impaled,9 and some of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their dead bodies for three and a half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be placed into tombs, 10 and those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them and exult. And they shall send gifts to each other, because these two prophets tortured those dwelling on the earth. 11 And after the three and a half days a spirit of life from Elohim entered into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 And they heard a loud voice from the heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up into the heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.
While there is a lot of speculation on who these two witnesses are as some say Alayahu and Chanoch will return as two witnesses, some say Mosheh and Alayahu are the two witnesses, these all men died and no man has ever ascended into heaven but the Son who came down from heaven and ascended.
The two witnesses are representing the Torah and the Prophets whose witness Yerushalam on earth refused and Shaul likened the Yerushalam in his days as Hagar
Gal 4:24 This is allegorical, for these are the two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai which brings forth slavery, which is Haḡar, 25 for this Haḡar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Yerushalayim above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Hence, the two witnesses is allegorical to the two fold witness of the Father and the Son in the Torah and the Prophets. John gives us additional information on the days that after three and a half days the Ruach of life quickened the two witnesses
Another half day is added here whereas Hoshea says in the third day. Is this a contradiction? These are spiritual things and need spiritual discernment.
Achad yom: What happened on Day One in Genesis 1?
3 And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be. 4 And Elohim saw the light, that it was good. And Elohim separated the light from the darkness. 5 And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, first day/ achad yom
Shaul tells us what the Divine utterance means.
2Corin 4:5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Messiah יהושע the Master, and ourselves your servants for the sake of יהושע. 6 For Elohim, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts for the enlightening of the knowledge of the esteem of Elohim in the face of יהושע Messiah.
The esteem of Alahym shines forth through the face of Yahusha Messiah who is face to face with His creation.
Gen 1:3 shows the whole earth and heavens were lit up with Yahusha the Light, the sun moon stars were not yet created until day four.
John in his basharah and letter introduces Yahusha as the Dabar of Life, the Light.
John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6 There was a man sent from Elohim, whose name was Yoḥanan. 7 This one came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not that Light, but that he might bear witness of that Light. 9 He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world came to be through Him, and the world did not know Him.
In the first letter John says in 1:1 Alaph Tau was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Dabar of life:
The whole creation lit up the world until the three and a half days, when Yahuah was working in finishing creating the sun, moon and stars and appointing their order for His appointed times
Psalms 104:19 He made the moon for appointed times; The sun knows its going down.
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,
The achad yom Light was spiritually separated from the thick darkness while the literal lights which came as signs and appointed times came with the literal separation of light from darkness seen to the physical eyes.
The two witnesses were revived after three and a half days and now here it will be different, coz the sun, moon and stars will cease to give light and then Yahusha ha Mashiyach will shine forth as the LIGHT as was on achad yom until the rebiy yom /fourth day
The word rebiy /רבעי in Hebrew means four. Its rooted in the word Rabbi/רבי which means Teacher
This was the signs in the shamayim Yahuah placed in His wisdom, that those seeing the signs should turn to the true Rabbi who is the Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings
Mal 4: 2 “But to you who fear My Name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall.
The arrangement of the signs of appointed times was completed on the rebiy yom/ fourth day.
Remember the wise men, they saw His star in the east and came to see Yahusha. The signs led them to Mashiyach to worship Him. Now that the sun, moon and stars would be darkened, no one would know the day and the hour which the Father put in His own power, because there was no Son until the birth of the man child. Yahusha prayed that He would receive the same esteem as He had being as the One true Alahym before the world was established
John 17: 5 “And now, esteem Me with Yourself, Father, with the esteem which I had with You before the world was.
The Son was given in a lower esteem in the Order/Dabar of Yahuah and everything fell in line as per the Order/Dabar including the manifestation of Yahuah Himself in a low human body as the Son.
In the beginning was the Dabar/Order or WORD and in the Order was made flesh and dwelt/tabernacled with us. Yahuah was now face to face with His creation in Mashiyach, His esteem being radiated through a human body which was prepared in the Order
With the no sighting of the new moon as the sun, moon and stars being darkened and the two witnesses being dead. There was no one to report to the High Priest the Day of return of Yahuah.
The entire earthly pattern is turned to Hagar into slavery.
Then comes the Rabbi as Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings letting the entire creation know that He is Yahuah Himself. The heavenly pattern consummation takes place so that Yahuah will be all in all
1Corin 15:27 For “He has put all under His feet.” Psa. 8:6 But when He says “all are put under Him,” it is clear that He who put all under Him is excepted. 28 And when all are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself shall also be subject to Him who put all under Him, in order that Elohim be all in all.
The Son will be revealed as the One true Alahym.
1John 5:20 And we know that the Son of Elohim has come and has given us an understanding, so that we might know the true One. And we are in the true One, in His Son יהושע Messiah. This is the true Elohim and everlasting life.
John says we are in the true One/achad who is Mashiyach and this is the true Alahym and everlasting life
Hence, the ADON Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the CHIEF MESSENGER. Who was this Chief Messenger? The Messenger of Yahuah who was Yahuah Himself leading Yasharal in the wilderness by a pillar of Cloud by Day and Pillar of fire by night.
Shaul further says in 1Thess 4:15 that He will sound the trumpet of Alahym as He is the Watcher which Daniel spoke of One coming down from heaven to bring down the king of Babylon and his empire until 7 times pass by
Daniel 4: 13 “In the visions of my head on my bed, I looked and saw a Watcher, even a set-apart one, coming down from the heavens. 14 “He cried aloud and said this, ‘Hew down the tree and cut off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it, and the birds from its branches. 15 But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of the heavens, and let his portion be with the beasts on the grass of the earth. 16 Let his heart be changed from man’s, let him be given the heart of a beast, and seven times pass over him. 17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the command by the word of the set-apart ones, so that the living know that the Most High is ruler in the reign of men, and gives it to whomever He wishes, and sets over it the lowest of men
The day and the hour will be a consummation of us being translated from adopted sons into the sons of the living Alahym with the Son Himself being revealed as the One true Alahym whose Light will shine forever with no time keepers or signs required
Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, ADONAI, will you at this time restore again the Kingdom to Yashar’el? Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.
The Father has put in His own power when the Son subjects the kingdom to be Alahym all in all.
