"Rosh Hashanna Rapture - Does Jesus know the day and hour?"


 


Dear Brother John Tng and all Beloved Doves,

I had a thought regarding a Rosh Hashanna rapture which I would like to share with all.

Much has already been noted that Rosh Hashanna is known among the feasts of the LORD as the day which no man knows - since it is determined by the sighting of the new moon and no one knows with EXACT CERTAINTY exactly when this will be.

There are many factors, on the night on which the new moon is expected, perhaps the cresent is too close to the horizon and cannot be seen at that angle, or perhaps it is a cloudy night in Jerusalem and while the moon hangs high in the sky, it cannot be seen by the eye of man.

This leads me to my second thought, if Yeshua, Jesus was making referance to Rosh Hashanna when He made the statement - but of that day and hour no man knows, not even the angels in heaven nor the Son but the Father only - it would make perfect sense in this context:

First, the angels do not know when the new moon will appear any more than man since they have no control of the movements of celestial bodies or meteorlogical conditions, only the Father does - He places the moon where He wants when He wants, and creates cloud cover as He desires it as well.

As far as the Son, when He made this statement, He was limited to the eyes of mortal man, looking up at sunset, through the cloud layer like any other man to sight the new moon - of course now that He has ascended and is with the Father, He looks down at the movements of the moon where there are no clouds to interfere and has perfect knowledge of its movement and placement even as the Father does.

These are my thoughts anyway, hope this blesses and encourages someone.
Baruch Haba BShem YHVH
Maranatha!
