Yom HaKasseh: The Hidden Day

Now we come to the fourth idiom fulfilled on the Feast of Trumpets: the Hidden Day, or Yom HaKasseh. The meaning is simple — you want to be hidden in the Day of the Lord. This connects to the resurrection and return of Messiah. When he returns on the clouds, we will meet him in the clouds, and he will hide us for ten days while he wars — as described in Isaiah 63. Then, in Revelation 19, we are seen wearing white, which is the garment of Yom Kippur. The high priest wore white only once a year, and that was on Yom Kippur. We will come down with him for the final victory against the Antichrist, as described in Revelation 19:11-16.

Isaiah 26:20-21 speaks directly to this: "Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation has passed. For behold, the Lord comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will also disclose her blood and will no more cover her slain." He is telling you plainly about the Hidden Day. Hide yourself — for a little moment, ten days — until the indignation has passed. Then the Lord comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth. He comes on the Feast of Trumpets with wrath, wars alone for ten days as in Isaiah 63, and then redeems his people. That is why in Isaiah 63 his garments are sprinkled in blood, and in Revelation 19 they are the same — he has been warring below while we remain above, pure and white. We come with him on Yom Kippur, ten days after Trumpets, for the final victory.

Psalms 27:5 echoes this: "For in the time of trouble" — the time of Jacob's trouble — "he shall hide me in his pavilion; in the secret place of his tabernacle he shall hide me; he shall set me on a high rock." Zephaniah 2:1-3 adds: "Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O undesirable nation, before the decree is issued — before the day passes like chaff, before the Lord's fierce anger comes upon you, before the day of the Lord's anger comes upon you. Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, who have upheld his justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the Lord's anger." Between Zephaniah 2, Psalms 27:5, and Isaiah 26:20-21, the message is consistent: you want to be hidden in the day of the Lord's wrath — and that is exactly what will happen to all who love the Lord and understand the time of his visitations, his appointed feast days.
