There was a cultural phrase used to describe it. The phrase was that only God knew the day or the hour; in reference to when this Feast would begin. Jesus is referring to that. <br /><br />Hope this is helpful...<br /><br />MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-18947584189265708362018-04-30T19:49:50.640+01:002018-04-30T19:49:50.640+01:00This verse has always stood out to me.

Whether one excepts the longer reading in Matthew, as I do or not; Ehrman’s Orthodox Corruption theory fails.<br />Surely, one would think, since date setting is like 0 - forever, that not only would these charlatans stop setting them, but believers would ignore them.<br /><br />Tim<br />Timothy Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641788186736340533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-41884052730679157652018-04-24T20:48:01.247+01:002018-04-24T20:48:01.247+01:00Elijah: "‘David Meade’—no relation to John&qu...Elijah: "‘David Meade’—no relation to John"<br /><br />Perhaps it might be his alter-ego?<br /><br />As for everything ending yesterday, I expect those who predicted such will (yet again) claim they "miscalculated", and proceed to set a new date.
