..."As far as the former is concerned no one knows the time."...

Something for you to study would be the Feast of Trumpets. To a Jew, "The day no one knows the day or the hour" is Trumpets, or Rosh Hashanah. All the other Feasts happen in the middle of a Jewish month with a full moon, but Trumpets begins on the New Moon, which no one knows when they will see the sliver of the month appear. It can even happen in the daytime. Scripture tells us that we will be changed in a moment at the "Last Trump". The only time the "Last Trump" happens is during The Feast of Trumpets. The trumpets are blown 99 times and then the Last Trump is blown. The First Trump is blown on Pentecost or Shavuot. The "Great Trump" is blown on the Feast of Atonement. The month before Trumpets is called Elul. Hebrew months are 30 days so the 30 days before Trumpets is called Teshuvah which consists of fasting, repenting, and praying for forgiveness of sins. The Jews have 10 more days between Trumpets and Atonement and those days are called the "Days of Awe".

If God knew what day His Son would die, even the hour of 3pm, the same time the Lambs throat was cut in the Temple, and even the song that would be sung at His funeral, (Psa 113-118), He knew He would be buried on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and He knew He would rise on First Fruits, don't you think He knows when He will come after His Bride? We may not know exactly which Feast of Trumpets it will be, but it will be on some future Feast of Trumpets.

Scripture tells us to "Watch" for this event. How do you know when to watch? The month of Elul is the "Watching" month. Jews call it "The King is in the Field" during this month to come from His throne to get closer to His people and listen to their petitions before Trumpets.

Understanding Scripture has to be done through the Jewish laws, culture, and customs. Gentiles have lost much of the meanings of what Jesus said due to mistranslated Scripture and Antisemitism. It's all explained in Leviticus 23 and other places but Gentiles never look into Jewish things and rely on a carnal reading of Scripture. I compare it to "Code Talking" by Indians. They know what they are saying but no one else does until you know the "code".

This is why a Jew won't accept Christ from a Christian. The "Gentile" Messiah we present to them doesn't match the Messiah of the Bible they are looking for. As an example, just look at the Davinci painting of the Last Supper. He painted him almost as an effeminate Gentile European with blue eyes breaking a loaf of leavened bread on Passover. That doesn't pass the smell test to a Hebrew.

There is much more you can learn about what Jesus said and meant if you learn more about Jewish things. A Jewish Wedding is just one of them.

“...don’t you think He knows when He will come after His Bride? “

You misunderstand me.

I didn’t say GOD doesn’t know. I said “no one” as in “no human” knows.

Even a goy knows that. Oy vey....you calling me a shlamozzle?

Don’t be a putz.
