Scriptures of the Feasts Of Yehovah
There are seven feasts, or appointed times, that God gave Israel to keep. Six of the feasts we know several days ahead of time when the feast day is going to occur. However, the only one that occurs “on a day that no man knows”, is the Day of Trumpets. It is the first day of the seventh month, called Tishri. At the end of the sixth month (Elul), witnesses in Jerusalem are watching the sky to see if the first sliver of the renewed Moon will be visible. It is either 29 days or 30 days after the beginning of the sixth month. But until NASA was able to create a system that would calculate the moment that the Moon would be visible, it was always a “guess”, and a “wait and see”. Now, it is just a “wait and see”, because NASA cannot predict cloud cover. If there is cloud cover on the 29th day, the new month is declared on the 30th day.
By protocol, two eye witnesses to the sighting of the Moon, must give their testimony to the High Priest on what they saw, in order for it to be declared the beginning of the seventh month, called Tishri. The time or moment of the evening is defined as when there are three stars visible as the sun is setting. At the evening of the 30th day, if the renewed Moon has not yet been sighted, the start of the 1st day is proclaimed, whether or not the lower crescent of the Moon has been seen. The cycle of the moon is 29.53+ days, or 29 days, 12 hours, and 44 minutes, so there cannot be a 31st day. It can only be 29 or 30 days. The possibility of cloud cover makes it difficult to predict. That’s why it has been called “the day and hour that no man knows”. It has been associated with the day of the coming of Yeshua.
Exodus 19: 1, 2, 10 – 11, 16 – 20
In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
