Today is Yom Teruah/The Feast of Trumpets!
For Christians this day is the celebration of The Coronation of our King – Jesus.
One day He will return for us. Will this be the year? Today we are celebrating that fact as well as many other new beginnings.
LOOKING TO THE RETURN OF OUR BRIDE GROOM
We start a brand new year of Hebraic life today. The year that records the beginning of mankind being put into time turns today.
Our lives will once again turn a page.
Over the last few months we have spent a lot of time in prayer, meditation, and fasting. We’ve been looking back and sorting out our last year before God.
Of course we want to keep our wedding garments white, pure, and clean.
We want to be sure to have lots of oil in our lamps. It is important to be ready, in case the groom returns in the middle of the night!
PROMISES FOR THE YEAR TO COME
Also, there are many new things God has shown us during our time with Him. These are things we have made goals for the rest of this year. They are a part of our first-fruits offerings to God from the harvest of our souls.
We hold these goals up to Our Father today. With all of our hearts, we offer our first and our best for the coming year. Hopefully, we can now come before God with clean and holy hands. This feels true because of all the hard work of cleaning, repenting, and turning we did during the past month of Elul. When Tishrei arrives all things are new.
TEN AWESOME DAYS LEFT BEFORE ATONEMENT
It isn’t too late to keep cleaning, repenting and turning, if you haven’t already done so.
The blasting shofar sound on The Feast of Trumpets is our warning to get ready to meet Our King – Yeshua Messiah. 10 days are left before Atonement!
The amazing sound of the shofar which we hear on The Feast of Trumpets signifies we have ONLY ten days between The Feast of Trumpets and The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) in which to finish our final steps for repentance. We look over the last year and turn our ways around as we go into the rest of this year.
One door closes, another door opens.
By The Day of Atonement our repenting and turning should all be done. We should stand before God looking forward to what He will send us to do in the rest of this year.
DIP APPLES IN HONEY AND EAT SWEET LOAVES OF CHALLAH
So we dip apples in honey. We eat sweet treats, because they are symbolic of the desire for a sweet new year to come.
We greet everyone with “Shana Tova! May you be inscribed in God’s book to have a sweet new year!”
A DAY WITH MANY MESSAGES
Even though The Feast of Trumpets is a corporate celebration, it is also something special to be shared between each individual and God. We further understand it is a great way for couples to start off a good new year of marriage. It is a great time to be sharing the goals for the next blessings of another fruitful year of marriage.
Maybe you are having to spend The Feast of Trumpets all alone. Perhaps your family doesn’t yet understand what a blessing this day is. That should not stop your celebration. God loves you immensely. and He has a plan for your next year. Maybe we can help fill your day with these thoughts by sharing a lovely production of a Rosh Hashanah Video with a message inside for today’s world.
Perhaps you are gathered with your family for The Feast of Trumpets for the first time. You may not yet understand where to start. This video will help you to share the day together.
Here is the link; if you are also looking for a way to hear the shofar and a good sound message that speaks of our anticipation of the return of Messiah. This great production shares all the ways that The Feast of Trumpets symbolizes what God desires from us. This blog takes no credit for the production. Credits are provided at the end of the video. We simply love sharing God’s truth from those who have followed it faithfully. My hat is off to those who made this amazingly beautiful video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp2XJ11d9oc.
A DAY FULL OF BLESSINGS
Wishing all of you a sweet, beautiful, prosperous, year of spiritual growth in the coming year.
Shana Tova!
VERSE
The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. (Revelation 3:5)
PRAYER
Father, As we listen to the sound of the shofar, help us to hear and do Your will. Amen
