Absolute fact!

Another absolute fact.
As Paul stated, The feasts are deeply important “shado pictures” of events that must come, and we must know when to be watching for them.

Revelation 3:3

Regarding the expression “no man knoweth the day nor the hour,” a talented YouTuber named Scottie Clark has pointed out that the expression obviously could be taken literally, but Jews also regarded it as idiomatic expression for two other things.
(1) the Feast of Trumpets: The reason was that no one “knew the day nor the hour” is that could the crescent of the new moon had to be witnessed by two observers (who were then interrogated by the Sanhedrin) before the feast could commence. Sometimes the crescent was not visible.
(2) the bringing home of the Jewish bride by the groom. The groom’s action would be delayed until the father of the groom approved of the home built by the groom. When asked by another when he would be going to retrieve the bride, the groom would say, “No man knoweth but my father.”
*** The second meaning of the idiom may have been given by Bill Salus rather than Scottie Clark.
