The Feast of Trumpets is a Biblical Holiday celebrated as Rosh Hashanah, also called Yom Teruah, translates to “Day for blowing trumpets“. This year it begins Oct 2, 2024, at sundown; ends at nightfall on Oct 4, 2024. “God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways in these last days has spoken to us in His Son …” (Hebrews 1:1-2 NASB) In Leviticus 23 God details seven Feasts of the Lord which ultimately give revelation about Jesus! In the Spring Feasts we see Jesus in Passover as the sacrificial Lamb of God. Three days later during the Feast of First Fruits, Jesus is resurrected. Fifty days from Passover is Pentecost where the Holy Spirit is poured out as promised, “He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (Matthew 3:11 NASB) Jesus said to a crowd on a mountainside, “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”
(Matthew 5: 17 NASB) It is such a thrill to delve into “God’s mystery, that is Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge…”.
(Colossians 2:2-3 NASB) Speaking to His incredulous disciples after His resurrection, Jesus said, “… all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled. Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.” (Luke 24:44-45 NASB) What picture is God giving us about Jesus in the Fall Feasts? “Yom Teruah” or The Feast of TrumpetsThe word “Teruah” sounds an awakening blast. It means “Hear the alert!” “Pay attention!” “WAKE UP!“ The Feast of Trumpets is in commemoration of the time when God sounded His first trumpet blasts at the Mountain in Exodus 19:13. Jesus said right before He went to the Cross, “Be on the alert!” (Matthew 24:42 NASB) “Watch … for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” (Matthew 25:13 NKJV) The greatest fulfilment of this holiday is in expectation of the Messiah. “Then the Lord will appear over them… the Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet.” (Zech. 9:14 NIV) Jesus added to the prophet’s proclamation by saying “And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.” (Matt. 24:31 NIV) The elderly apostle John wrote, “The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: ‘The Kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign forever and ever.'” (Rev. 11:15 NIV) This time of year, as we approach the Feast of Trumpets, hear God saying “Be on the alert! The King is coming! The Bridegroom is coming for His Bride! Wake up! Pay attention! Get ready!” This call to repentance begins the ten days of repentance before Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement). “L’shanah tovah tikateivu v’teichateimu“
“A good year, and may you be inscribed and sealed.” (This refers to the Book of Life). |
