The Feast Of Trumpets And The Second Coming
I have been told by a Christian Jew that the Feast of Trumpets is the “The feast of the unknown day and hour”. And that will be the day of the Lord’s Second Coming and could be the day of the Rapture as well. Exactly, what is the feast of Trumpets? And could this relate to time of the rapture?
Q. I just found your site last week and have been on it every day since. I have studied the book of Revelation several times but reading your articles has given me a new excitement as I review your articles on the end times. You have an amazing site.
I have been told by a Christian Jew that the Feast of the Trumpets is the “The feast of the unknown day and hour”. And that will be the day of the Lord’s Second Coming and could be the day of the Rapture as well. He said this feast happens every seven years and is the only feast that is on the first day of the month. That in the Torah it says that two witnesses were sent out on the 29th day to watch when the first sign of the crescent moon would appear and the feast would begin.
He also said that Jesus was referring to this feast when He said we could not know the day and hour. That Jesus did not say we couldn’t know the time, just the day and hour. Exactly, what is the feast of the Trumpets? And could this relate to time of the rapture?
A. I cannot find any verification that the feast of Trumpets was commonly called “The feast of the unknown day and hour” in the Lord’s time. I do know that it’s also called Rosh Hashanah which is the Jewish New Year, so it comes along every year, not every 7. It also marked the beginning of spiritual preparation for the Day of Atonement 10 days later. It is true that two witnesses were sent out to determine the first sighting of the crescent moon, but that was true of the first day of every month in the Lord’s time.
Whenever Jesus said we could not know the day and hour, He was referring to the 2nd Coming since He never spoke directly about the Rapture. So if what this person told you can be verified, it lends more weight to the belief that the 2nd Coming will take place on the Feast of Trumpets in a year as yet unknown.
