Yom Hakeseh - The hidden day
Excerpt Taken from
"Feasts of the Lord: The Rapture - Jesus in the Feast of Trumpets"
(by I Gordon)
In Jewish thought this feast was also the hidden day. It was said to be hidden from Satan. It was 'hidden' because they didn't know the exact day it would begin due to the fact that they had to first sight the smallest part of the new moon. Thus it was a two day feast because they didn't want to celebrate it on the wrong day. Concerning Rosh HaShanah, the Jews would typically say "Of that day and hour no one knows." Fulfillment: Concerning His return, Jesus said the exact same thing:
Now learn this lesson from the fig tree:
As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.
(33) Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.
(34) I tell you the truth,
this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
(35) Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
(36) No one knows about that day or hour,
not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.'
While Gentiles read this to mean no one knows when He will return, the Jewish mind would likely see Jesus alluding to the feast of trumpets, Rosh HaShanah, in making this statement!
There is also a strong thought of the believers being 'hidden' at this time. This comes across in several passages. One related passage is in Psalm 27. This Psalm, Chumney writes, is read everyday during the 40-day period leading up to the day of Atonement (which includes the feast of Trumpets). Part of this Psalm speaks of the 'hiding' of believers:
For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent He will hide me;
He will lift me up on a rock.
Other noteworthy passages on this are:
Before the decree takes effect-- The day passes like the chaff--
Before the burning anger of the LORD comes upon you,
Before the day of the LORD'S anger comes upon you.
(3) Seek the LORD,
All you humble of the earth Who have carried out His ordinances;
Seek righteousness, seek humility.
Perhaps you will be hidden in the day of the LORD'S anger.
This next passage in Isaiah is fantastic for it ties the resurrection in with the hiding of God's people in their 'rooms/chambers' until the period of God's wrath is complete.
Your dead will live;
Their corpses will rise.
You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy,
For your dew is as the dew of the dawn,
And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.
(20) Come, my people, enter into your rooms and close your doors behind you;
Hide for a little while until indignation runs its course.
(21) For behold, the LORD is about to come out from His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
And the earth will reveal her bloodshed and will no longer cover her slain.
