How is Yovel Connected To The Fingerprint of God, Keys of Light, The Shofar and Jubilee?

If the Creator has a plan, then it must be accessible, comprehensible and applicable, or it would not be a plan. It would be an imagined dream, without substance or realization. It is however a reality that truth is tangible and has a beginning and an end. His blueprint is encapsulated within everything down to the DNA of each creature.

Every detail is precise and intrinsic within His design.

All creation declares the sovereignty of the Lord.

Sovereignty of God.

“The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever” 

Psalm 29:10.

Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.

To say that God is Sovereign is to declare that He is the Almighty, the Possessor of all power in Heaven and earth, so that none can defeat His counsels, thwart His purpose, or resist His will. Psalm 115:3.

To say that God is Sovereign is to declare that He is “The Governor among the nations”. Psalm 22:28.

Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”

John 1:3 “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” 

Psalm 95:3-5 “For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.

Psalm 41:1-2: “The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; 2 for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.”

The Psalmist often worshipped God because God rescued him; Psalm 18:16-17, provided for him, Psalm 23:1; and led him.Ps. 32:8.

God is not haphazard, nothing is by chance. Everything is calculated and ordained to coalesce with His timed order of events, of which we are an integral part.

The mystery of the gospel was encoded within the Word of God, Who, Himself created the heavens and the earth.

His specific sequence of unfolding events, are the fulfillment of almost 6000 years of prophetic declarations.

The types and shadows and patterns are most obvious in the cycle of His appointed times in the annual calendar.


This yearly adherence to the rehearsal, is the continuing reminder of the meaning of life; and is so beautifully played out in the appearance of a precisely coordinated theatrical production.

This annual display, has reinforced the habitual observance of the encoded mysteries, the most spectacular of which is about to be revealed, as the culmination of this amazing plan of the ages reaches its zenith.

Which are a shadow of the things to come, the substance of the Messiah. Col.2:17

The end was in the beginning and was foretold before the actual events came to pass in the earth. They are so accurate, that the manifold facts we have recorded in our historical documents, are proof the Word of God is true.

I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come, saying: ’My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’ Is 49:9,10

Berean Study Bible

This is most obvious even in a brief search of the fulfilled prophesies concerning the people and the land of Israel. These facts then inform us that all that is yet to come to pass, is clearly within His Word for us to find.

Both Daniel and John were told to seal up pertinent information and knowledge until the time of the end, when knowledge would be increased; now more than ever in history knowledge is increasing exponentially each and every day.

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.Dan 12:4

Although John’s primary purpose in writing Revelation is to reveal, (Rev.1:1; Rev.22:10), here he is commanded to omit the utterance of the seven thunders from the biblical record.

Rev 10:4

Rev. 22:10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near.” 

Our origins are deeply embedded in the mysteries of the ancient manuscripts; not only confirming what has gone, but warning of the apocalypse/revealing we are right in the midst of today.

The events surrounding our daily lives are being determined by what was written millennia ago; and whether we believe it or not or understanding it or not, it is happening, and progressively unfolding with or without our approval or engagement.

These mysteries are connected to the Jubilee, the Yovel /the Yobel,/the Shofar and were birthed in the wilderness on the top of a mountain.

Lev. 25:10–11; Luke 4:18,19; Galatians 5:1. The Jubilean mysteries began with Moses, in a desert on a mountain called Sinai, where the law of yovel/yobel, or Jubilee, was given.

Leviticus 25:9 (KJV). Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of Atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

These same mysteries have determined the course of human activity causing human empires to rise and to fall, many disappearing from existence entirely with no trace.

As we look at the past, it is important to remember that ancient years were not numbered as we mark them today.

We call messages from God prophecy, which, by its very nature requires faith. It exists whether we believe it or not. Our believing in something, does not make it more real; and not believing it, doesn’t diminish it.

To find out that which we do not know or have, then we have to become receptive to things that we have never known or believed exist.

The signs, the events, and occurrences are not random; there is no chance, no luck, involved in the purpose of life. History, life, and our whole existence, is not an accident. No one is an accident or a mistake.

God’s fingerprint is on all life in the form of patterns.

These are based on what we term as, mathematics and geometrical designs and we have called the golden ratio/Fibonacci sequence.

There have always been Gods’ spokespersons, chosen as vessels to bring forth divine revelation. They could be called, the people of the apocalypse or people of the revealing. Prophets, seers, messengers of, and, sent by God.

Probably the most famous Biblical example that was not from God, one was the oracle at Delphi which was a prophetic phenomenon that existed from 7th century BC to the 4th century AD and was considered to be the most reputable oracle among the Greeks. Acts 16:16

When God declares ahead of time what will be, here’s how He declares it, or says it: saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose.’ Is 46:9-11 In other words, the way He declares His foreknowledge is by declaring His fore-counsel and His fore-purposing.

Prophets, Seers, messengers of God, those chosen as the vessels of divine revelation; not fortune tellers, but forth tellers. Speaking forth the Plan and purpose of God before the events occur; and declaring the details with accuracy that can only come from the God of creation. The One who knows the end from the beginning and everything in between.

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7

These are not tentative predictions or prognostications but the details of events that God is about to do and only He knows what He is about to do, so therefore only He can tell His messengers; so those who don’t hear from God, their messages will not be accurate.

However Jesus said I give you the keys of the kingdom.

“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19 

The keys to the kingdom of heaven are God’s Words (John 1:12; 17:3). Messiah Himself points that the key referred to here, is the key of knowledge, meaning, this is understanding how to enter the kingdom (Luke 11:52). The words of Jesus/Yeshua are spirit and life to all who receive them (John 6:63).

It is the words of Jesus/ Yeshua that bring eternal life (John 6:68). And they are the keys to the new-birth experience (1 Peter 1:23). And remembering Amos 3:7 Jer.33:3 and  Isaiah 42:9 “Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.”

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell you what is to come.

Here we have confirmed that we will be shown whatever we need to know before the time.

These keys are spiritual keys to a spiritual kingdom and that kingdom is also within us.

Light is a symbol of truth and revelation of divine origin, so it follows that the keys to the kingdom are keys of light.

They speak of revelation and mysteries that are to be unlocked.

Let’s make sure that the locks on our hearts are accessible for the key of light and we are ready for Him to open to us the revelation of The Truth of His Incomparable and Unconditional Love…

Conclusion in Part 2

Rest assured, our Heavenly Father has all things in His control and in His timing for He has said…

From the beginning I revealed the end. From long ago I told you things that had not yet happened, saying, “My plan will stand, and I’ll do everything I intended to do.”

Shalom shalom!

Please Do Not leave this page without the surety in your heart that you have Him in your life and heart as the days draw ever closer to the end of the age..

NOT CERTAIN?

YOU CAN BE..

Make sure Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord and soon returning King and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.

You are greatly loved and very precious in His sight.

He longs to give you the Shalom He paid the ultimate price for..

SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute, SAY IT RIGHT NOW…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apocalypse Of The Trump – Shofar Notes And Numbers – The Sound Of A Mystery?

The shofar is an ancient traditional Hebrew instrument, a natural trumpet, made from a ram’s horn.

Note in the above text it says the voice of the shofar.
The Hebrew word for voice is KOL…. Click link below for an interactive post on the Voice.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-voice-kol-

The Hebrew word is shophar:

a horn (for blowing)

שׁוֹפָר

Pronounced: sho-FAR or SHO-far,

 

shophar {sho-far’}; from shaphar in the original sense of incising; a cornet (as giving a clear sound) or curved horn, cornet, trumpet.

Strongs # 7782 Lev. 25:9

Plural: shofarot

It is sounded during the month of Elul, on Rosh Hashanah, and on Yom Kippur.

This first blast of the shofar horn is believed by the Jewish faith to open up the gates of heaven. It is the Voice/Kol of God announcing His presence/declaring His throne manifesting in our midst. 

Shophar

The shofar and Yom Teruah – day of blowing of trumpets –

Blowing the Rams Horn.

A shofar is the horn of an animal that in most cases is twisted. There are three specific types of horns used to make shofarot; the ram’s horn, African kudu horn (later to become a Yemenite shofar), and the African Gemsbok horn (a straight horn).

These horns are from kosher animals that have a horn which can be hollowed out (not the antler of a deer).

Below are other types of horns:

  1. Cattle horn shofar (nonkosher),

  2. Kudu shofar,

  3. Ibex shofar,

  4. Aoudad sheep shofar,

  5. Water buffalo shofar (questionable if kosher),

  6. Partially-straightened ram’s horn shofar,

  7. Fully-twisted ram’s horn shofar,

  8. Blackbuck shofar,

  9. Pronghorn shofar. Most animal horns are hollow and can theoretically be made into shofarot. (Although some are pasul, disqualified, such as that of a cow.) Horns that are not hollow may not be used as shofarot, even if they are drilled through. Antlers, the branched horns of deer, may therefore not be used as shofarot since they are not hollow. Although the horns of pronghorns superficially resemble deer antlers, they are, in fact, hollow and therefore kosher. However, it is preferable not to use the pronghorn shofar because it is not curved.

  10. Gemsbok shofar

God said to Moses/Mosheh,  Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘The appointments of Yahuwah, which you are to proclaim as set-apart proclamations.  These are my appointments.  There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a set-apart proclamation.  You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to Yahuwah.  These are the appointments of Yahuwah – set-apart proclamations which you are to proclaim at their appointed times.

These are the Appointed Times of the Hebrew cyclical calendar.

Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה), literally meaning the

head [of] the year

and is the Jewish Civil New Year.

The biblical name for this holiday is

Yom Teruah (יוֹם תְּרוּעָה),

literally,

day of shouting or blasting.

Because the roots of its use, go so far back through the millennia, it is literally a blast from the past! and maybe it’s where we get that saying from?

The Shofar Blasts

The ram’s horn is blown on the Autumn/Fall Moedim days in three specific ways.

Sounds of the Shofar.

 There are three types of sounds that are blown with the shofar:

a tekiah, a steady blast;

a shevarim, a broken note; and

a teruah, a shattered quavering note;

The shofar-blower can only control the number, length and clarity of the notes, sounded not the key or pitch”

Click link below to hear the sounds of the shofar being blown.
https://www.minimannamoments.com/apocalypse-of-the-teruahs-cry/

The Shofar is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, in reference to its ceremonial use in the Temple and to its function as a signal-horn of war.

The sound of the shofar is comparable to the trumpet-blasts that announce the coronation of a king.

According to Hebrew tradition, it was on this day, Rosh Hashanah, God created the world and assumed the role of its’ Sovereign; and in the sounding of the shofar we acknowledge Him as our King.

Rosh Hashanah is the first of the 10 Days of repentance; in Hebrew it is called Teshuvah and means Return. The promise of Teshuvah is that no matter how far we have strayed from our soul’s path, we can find our way back. The root, SHUV, means to TURN.

Rosh Hashanah is

Pronounced: roshe hah-SHAH-nah, also roshe ha-shah-NAH,

Always on the 1st day of the 7th month and falls on a new moon.

The Torah describes the first day of the seventh month;

1st of Tishri = Rosh ha-Shanah as a

Zikron Teruah,

Memorial of Blowing;

Lev.23

and as a

yom teru’ah

day of blowing;

Num. 29.

This was interpreted by the Jewish sages as referring to the sounding of the shofar.

Appointed Times of Leviticus 23:3 which in Hebrew is:

Moedim – pronounced, MO eh DEEM

The Moedim are times to give thanks to the LORD for all He has done…. Rejoice in the Lord always!

Notice that the Hebrew calendar is divided into two equal parts of exactly six lunar months each; both of which center on redemptive rituals and end with harvests.

The Moedim: the Appointed Times of God. He has set-apart, (Holy), precious times, to meet with His beloved.

Note in the chart above, the use of Gods’ Name as Yahuwah. This is taking the Hebrew letters of YHWH (often pronounced Yaweh); and adding vowels, (vowels are not present as letters in the Hebrew Alef Bet as in English Alphabet.) YaHuWaH.

Yeshua/Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, came and gave us a full understanding of the springtime Appointed Times and He has promised to come again and also fulfill the Autumn/fall Appointments.

MOEDIM

מועדים

Comprising the Hebrew Letters:

(open) mem – vav/waw – ayin – dalet – yod – mem
(closed)

(Hebrew reads from right to left)

and in paleo pictograph letters, both Moed and Moedim:

Moed is pronounced mo-ade’

מועדים

(Note the variant shape of the open/first letter M as the shapes changed over the centuries. Shown in charts further down in post.)

Strongs # 4140 Or moled {mo-ade’}; or (feminine) moweadah (2 Chronicles 8:13) {mo-aw-daw’}; from ya’ad; properly, an appointment, i.e. A fixed time or season; specifically, a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an assembly (as convened for a definite purpose); technically the congregation are typically called, Jewish holidays/Yamim Tovim but in the Bible are referred to as God’s feast days.

Moa’dim in Hebrew means appointments or rehearsals. They are found in Leviticus 23 and each are called a shadow of things to come. (Col. 2:16-17).

God designed the universe itself, (the sun and moon and the whole planetary structure); in order to point to and regulate the Festivals, the Moedim. Thus, the Moedim are first and foremost…

a part of the creative order,

not merely

a part of the covenant

made with Israel at Sinai.

So from the foundation of creation,

God set within that creation His Moedim -(rehearsal and appointed times,) in order to remind us of His eternal plan.

This is the pattern of the Moedim, invisible yet imprinted within the seed of every woman. Of those who become pregnant, an apocalypse/revealing begins as a new chaim/life develops within her.  Click link for the apocalypse/the revealing of this mystery.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-season-of-our-hiding/

The Moedim represent Gods’ plan of salvation for mankind.

As we have seen the Hebrew word for appointment, appointed time, place, or meeting is   

מועדים

Meanings of the letters:

Mem: the pictograph is of water like the waves of the sea and comes from the word mayim meaning waters, as in seas with abundant life. Symbolized by water, for the way that many living things can be pulled out even referring to the waters of childbirth. Mighty massive, many chaos(like the deep, to come from like water down a stream.)

Think of: The water/ word that washes us clean. The Blood that purchases us and saves us. To question as in the wonders of the sea. Mightiness as in the size of the sea. Chaos as in the storms of the sea.

Vav: The pictograph for Vav looks like a tent peg or nail. The meaning of the word vav is hook, as in a connecting hook used when the mishkan (tabernacle) was constructed; giving the meaning of joining together, making secure, becoming bound or nailed to.

Ayin: the pictograph is the eye. Look, appearance, to see, understand, experience, to be seen, a fountain. Spiritual sight and vision, to watch, to know. His word and His Spirit/Ruach coming together in our souls.

Dalet: the tent door, a path, a way of life. Jesus/Yeshua is the door. Movement back and forth, in and out of the door. Also means dangling or weakness, as in hanging ones head down. The 4 dimensions of Space and Time as in length, breadth, depth and height.

Yod: Arm and Hand Work, what a person makes, Actions what a person does, Throw. A hand closed or closing upon, to work, a deed done, a finished work.

Mem: The closed Mem at the end of the word has the same meanings as the open Mem at the beginning of the word. Mayim begins and ends with the same letter. Waters and is always plural.

These letter meanings when put together give a pictorial insight of the Moedim.

The Pictographs for MOEDIM could read something like this:

Moedim are like the ever moving waters MEM of the ocean they are never still, and life is like that too. It is in constant motion flowing forward, like the cycle of the Moedim.

Following them brings abundant life. From out of chaos comes order, as deep calls unto deep. Then as we are born the first time, we come through the waters of childbirth. Next, as we are born again by His spirit, we are washed cleansed first by His blood and then by the washing of the waters of baptism and then by His Word, the river of Life.

We become connected by covenant VAV, joined together.

As we become His tabernacle on the earth, we become safe and secure, becoming bound to Him and remember the VAV, nails, that made this relationship possible.

We then have our eyes AYIN opened and see His wonders and His mightiness.

We see AYIN more and more clearly as we experience and understand His Ways, His Moedim and Jesus/Yeshua so clearly in them all. Our spiritual sight and vision is increased and increasingly finely tuned as His Ruach leads us day by day.

The DALET, the door Jesus/Yeshua Himself is our path our Way of Life and we in our weakness depend on His strength as He leads us, we follow Him and we go into Him. The Moedim are action and declare to us that the deed was done and His life was a finished work.

As the MoediM are cyclical, every year the beginning reaches the end, which is also the new beginning.

Mem to Mem – Open Mem to closed Mem. And like the water it is a picture of, the MoediM and life, keep flowing. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest will also; according to His promise and are celebrated annually in the MoediM. The picture of creation and of continuance and of fulfilled promises to us the bride of His covenant.

 

Below is a chart showing all the letters in early Paleo script, (used until 1st century A.D.) and modern Hebrew.

Moed is pronounced mo-ade’

A common nomenclature/terminology for this Moed is calling it, the Feast of Trumpets. The truth is, it is not a feast in the cycle of annual Moedim/Appointed Times and is only linked with trumpets/shofars or rams horns by inference.

The Biblical Hebrew name for this Moed/Appointed Time is

Zikhron Teru’ah 

The term Rosh Hashanah does not actually appear in the Torah, but rather is referred to as the

(Memorial of blowing [of trumpets

or a memorial with the blowing of horns], Lev. 23:24)

or Yom Teruah 

(Day of Blowing [trumpets] Num. 29:1)

Yom Teruah יוֹם תְּרוּעָה

The Ancient Paleo Hebrew meaning is that: God stands in the crossroads to judge. He is judge over every authority and household. He will judge every spirit in righteousness and truth. All the earth will rejoice in His justice.

The term Rosh Hashanah literally means head of the year. However, was not applied to this Moed until the 2nd Century A.D. more than 1,500 years after the institution of the Holy-day, holiday.

With the Temple destroyed and the Jewish people scattered after the Roman destruction of Jerusalem; observation of the day had to be changed.

Rosh Hashanah is celebrated as the Jewish New Year.

The unique feature is wrapped up in the phrase zik’ron t’ruah, which is rendered Remembrance – zik’ron

or a

remembrance of blowing with loud blasts of sound.

Zichron Teruah

זכרון תרועה

(Vayikra/Lev. 23:24)

Therefore, zik’ron t’ruah or

yom t’ruah/Yom Teruah – יום תרועה

Bamidbar/Num. 29:1

would be more accurately translated as memorial/day of loud blasts (of sound).

So we are remembering or memorializing something; caused by, or done in conjunction with, loud blasts of sound.

 Teruah: Phonetic Spelling: (ter-oo-aw‘) Definition: a shout or blast of war, alarm, or joy.

The word teruah, (root: resh, vav, ayin); points us in various directions. While it clearly means a loud sound, sometimes it is a loud sound of war or threats, and other times it is a loud sound of joy or praise.

The word teruah, in its various forms, appears over 30 times in Tanach.

 While teruah refers to the short blasts (of the trumpet or shofar) and

tekiah תקיעה refers to the long blasts,

the verb – taka -תקע – simply means

blowing on an instrument

(regardless of the length of the blasts).

Klein writes that the verb fully means to thrust, clap, give a blow, blast.

The word Zichron

is sometimes translated as

memorial,

but this Hebrew word also means

to mention,

often in reference to speaking the Name of God. E.g., Ex. 3:15; Is. 12:4; Is.26:13; Ps. 45:17 [Heb. 18].

One Greek word was used for both shofar and trumpet – Salpiggi

salpigx: a trumpet

Original Word: σάλπιγξ, ιγγος, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: salpigx
Phonetic Spelling: (sal’-pinx)
Definition: a trumpet
Usage: a trumpet, the sound of a trumpet.

Strongs#4536 sálpigks – properly, a war-trumpet (WS, 797) that boldly announces God’s victory (the vanquishing of His enemies).

In the Old Testament, trumpets were used to called God’s people to war, and to announce victory wrought by Him. Which was a military clarion that proclaimed the Lord inspired and empowered the victory on behalf of His people.

[“The trumpet was the signal employed to call the hosts of Israel to march as to war, and is common in prophetic imagery (Is. 27:13). Cf. The seventh angel (Rev 11:15)” (WP, 1, 193).

Trumpets in the OT summoned God’s saints for His righteous wars (Nu 10:9; Jer 4:19; Joel 2:1). See also Lev 23:24,25; Nu 10:2-10; Ps 81:3.]

The shofar is used to call people to Teshuvah/repentance, and many think that judgment day will be on the day referred to as the day of memorial which is a call to repentance.

The Hebrew understanding of repentance is: (The burning of that which is behind).

Lev 23:24 is commonly called the Feast of Trumpets or Yom ha dinday of the blowing of shofar.

The Hebrew text has neither the word feast nor the word trumpet these are added English words in the translation!

The shofar is the instrument used in 1Cor. 15:52 and 1Thess. 4:16.

This Greek word salpiggi, is often translated trumpet, but from the context of Resurrection.

The last trump: The shofar would be used because resurrection is for judgment. Jewish scholars say, judgment takes place during the feast of unleavened bread in the spring. Whether it’s then or day of memorial, resurrection will probably be called by a shofar.

If Paul meant trumpet in 2 Cor. 5:10; the reference he was making would be to the Feast of Booths /Tabernacles/Sukkot; calling for the celebration of the eternal kingdom.

We are to remember the abundance of His greatness, the expanse of His strength the mighty acts of the Lord God and praise Him in His Holy Place. (Since Jesus/Yeshua made the WAY, we ourselves are now His sanctuary.) In the glorious splendor of His majesty, we remember the One who gives us Chaim (lifes), and we return to Him every breath He gives to us, in praise and loving adoration.

We remember what we were and the life that once was and marvel at the unconditional love that caused the One who bore the penalty of sin, in our place. He lost His life that we may be found and we are raised to life everlasting, abundant and victorious over the finality of death. A death that would have meant eternal separation from His presence,

Do we ever really fully comprehend the reality of salvation?

We have so very much to remember and praise Him for.

Ps.81:3 gives insight indicating this occurred on either the 1st or 7th month.

The shofar was blown at the temple to begin each Sabbath. There was an inscription on the inside wall of the Temple that said:

To the place of the blowing of the trumpet [shofar].

Recently, there were archaeological excavations at the southeast area surrounding the Temple Mount, in an area called the Ophel. Amongst the debris of stones from the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70, archaeologists actually found a piece of stone with the above inscription. (Zangla, 1998)

When the second Temple was destroyed the stones were scattered all over the place, but most ended up close the Temple, near the present Western Wall.

This stone which was discovered, was one of the top cornerstones. In the times of the Temple, the priests would gather at these cornerstones and blow the trumpet (shofar) to announce it was

Yom t’ruah/Yom Teruah – יום תרועה.

This stone has this inscription on it:

The Place of Trumpeting.

So, this cornerstone now actually gives us an association between the Temple and the

Zichron Teruah,

yom t’ruah/Yom Teruah – יום תרועה.

Of course Yeshua/Jesus is our true cornerstone.

He has now made His tabernacle within His Bride. Since Shavuot/Pentecost, there is no need for any special building, but prophecy reveals that the next Temple will be rebuilt by the Jews, many still unaware of who their Messiah is.

There are numerous prophecies indicating that there will be a new Temple built on the Temple Mount. Scripture says it will be the Temple in which the antichrist proclaims himself to be god at the half-way mark through the tribulation; so it could indicate that if we can establish when the Temple will be rebuilt, it may be possible to approximate when the tribulation period will begin.

Arthur Finkle shares the following significant purposes of the shofar: “The shofar is prescribed for the announcement of the New Moon and solemn feasts (Num. x. 10; Ps. lxxxi. 4), also for proclaiming the year of release (Lev. xxv. 9).

The first day of the seventh month (Tishri) is termed “a memorial of blowing” (Lev. xxiii. 24), or “a day of blowing” (Num. xxix. 1), the shofar; the modern use of the instrument survives especially in this connection.

In earlier days it was employed also in other religious ceremonials, as processions (II Sam. v. 15; I Chron. xv. 28), or in the orchestra as an accompaniment to the song of praise (Ps. xcviii. 6; comp. ib. xlvii. 5).

More frequently it was used as the signal-horn of war, like the silver trumpets mentioned in Num. x. 9 (see Josh. vi. 4; Judges iii. 27; vii. 16, 20; I Sam. xiii. 3). 

The shofar is used in the desert, on the temple mount, during the times of Rosh HaShanah (Yom Teruah) and Yom Kippur, as well as in the end of days.

The shofar was also blown at the following occasions:

The sound of the shofar is analogous to the trumpet-blasts that announce the coronation of a king. On Rosh Hashanah, God created the world and assumed the role of its Sovereign, and in the sounding of the shofar we acknowledge Him as our King.

Rosh Hashanah is the first of the 10 Days of Penitence/Teshuvah, and the shofar is sounded to stir our conscience, to confront our past errors and return to God, who is ever ready to welcome the penitent.

The shofar is reminiscent of the revelation of God at Sinai, which was accompanied by the sounding of a shofar. It thus reminds us of our destiny — to be a people of Torah, to pursue its study and to practice its commandments.

The sound of the shofar is reminiscent of the exhortations of the prophets whose voices rang out like a shofar in denouncing their people’s wrongdoing, and in calling them to the service of God and man.

The shofar reminds us of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, and it calls us to strive for Israel’s renewal in freedom and in fellowship with God.

The shofar summons us to the feeling of humility before God’s majesty and might, which are manifested by all things and by which our own lives are constantly surrounded.

The shofar is a reminder of the Day of the Final Judgment, calling upon all people and all nations to prepare for God’s scrutiny of their deeds.

The shofar foreshadows the jubilant proclamation of freedom, when Israel’s exiled and homeless are to return to the Holy Land. It calls us to believe in Israel’s deliverance at all times and under all circumstances.

The shofar foreshadows the end of the present world order and the inauguration of God’s reign of righteousness throughout the world, with a regenerated Israel leading all people in acknowledging that God is One and His name One.

Where does the phrase last trump come from?

In Judaism there are 3 recognized shofarim or ram’s horn trumps.

They are the first Trump,

the last trump, and

the great shofar.

These shofarim should not be confused with the two silver trumpets called chatzatzerah in Numbers 10.

The first trump and the last trump relate to the two horns of a particular Ram.

According to Jewish tradition the Ram caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah when Abraham was ready to slay Isaac and offer him up as a burnt offering.

Post Apocalypse of The Teruahs Cry

https://www.minimannamoments.com/apocalypse-of-the-teruahs-cry/

The first reference the Voice of God announcing His presence was Exodus 19:16

שׁוֹפָר on the top of Mount Sinai

an instrument (not necessarily musical) used to shout to God in a different way. God’s voice on the mountain sounded like shofarot (Plural of the singular shofar) to the Hebrews at Mt Sinai.

Something to think about. When the shofar is blown at anytime, is it an extension of the soul, is it a shout unto the heavens?

It is a reminder to the hearer to wake from spiritual slumber.

Could shofarot and shouts be counted as one and the same in the scriptures? 

If we believe in the Messiah of the Brit Hadasha/New Testament, HIS return will probably be announced with the sound of the shofar at God’s specific timing. If we are not listening / hearing we may be caught unaware.

Timing is everything in the scriptures. From the gathering of Israel around the tabernacle in the wilderness, to the fall of Jericho, and from Messiah’s birth to HIS return.

We recall what happened when both shouts with voices and with the shofar were released; huge walls fall at their sound as at Jericho.

Jericho in Joshua 6:20 is another scriptural connection between T’ruah and the Shofar.

The wall fell flat – a closer reading of the scripture reveals that it was the people, not the shofar, making the T’ruah. T’ruah is the sound of people shouting, yelling, or otherwise making loud sounds with their mouth (pey/fey).

Elsewhere in scripture t’ruah is the sound of alarm from the silver trumpets

Numbers 10:5 B’midbar

These silver trumpets are for the temple and are called chatzatzerah in Numbers 10.

Also spelled in Strongs#2689

chatsotsrah: (an ancient) trumpet

Original Word: חֲצֹצְרָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: chatsotsrah
Phonetic Spelling: (khats-o-tser-aw’)
Definition: (an ancient) trumpet

 

The sound of the shofaron,

Yom Hakipuriym

in the year of Jubilee –

A shout of praise. 1 Sam. 4:5-6; Ezra 3:11.

A shout of joy. Job 8:21; Ps. 89:15 and the playing of musical instruments Ps. 150:5 in other words loud blasts of sound.

Mmm is not claiming to be expert on any subject, especially when discussing issues from the scriptures, simply offering information upon which to ponder.

Next let’s look at the Paleo Hebrew Pictographs and see if there is any further apocalypse/revelation…..

שׁוֹפָר

Sheen/Shin +Vav +Fey/Pey + Resh/Reysh

Shen/shin/sheen

is the letter God uses to identify Himself. Meaning: sharp, to consume, destroy.

The ruach/spirit, the fervent ardency, the intense, fiery, consuming, passionate, POWER of His being/His essence.

VAV/ UaU/VAW

It’s the letter that joins together a nail or peg. Meanings: ownership, custody, purchased, WAV binding together as one in and through Messiah/Mashiach. We are grafted into the branch.

Fay/Fey-F/PH; Pay/Pei Pey

Pey can also look like this:

Mouth, To speak or, to open.

Brit Chadashah speaks of the Renewed covenant. We can see Pei, a mouth open, words of life or death and we are to choose life. Luke 6:45. Messiah is the way, truth and the life. Life abundantly, and our mouths are to open ready to share the gospel message. Showing the entrance, the way, the door, the beginning of new life. (80 is 8 x 10 and is the number of Yeshua/Jesus and of new beginnings.

R – RESH REYSH

Person/head or leader.

A messianic interpretation:

The first mystery is that God is identifying Himself and was connecting Himself to Moses so that he could speak with him. Gods’ Holy presence, which was announced by the shofar, was so terrible that Moses was filled with fear!

The VAV connects what is on the right to what is on the left within the word shofar. …Sheen says, God has already identified Himself from one side… so what is on the other side?

The letters on the other side are letters pey and reysh. They make a word of their own, originally found in Genesis 12:16. This word is translated as ox Judges 6:26. It’s the word used for a bullock that Gideon offers as a sacrifice for sin. The fear created by sin, caused the great divide/separation, between God and us. This is because of His Holiness and our sinfulness.

However it is the very same God who provides the sacrifice/Himself, that is the AT ONE MENT for that sin bringing reconciliation between Himself and us. For the Hebrews is was just once a year at Yom Kippur.

Heb. 9:13-14 points us to the ultimate sacrifice, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkled, was a sanctifying action. How much more the blood of Messiah!

The bull/heifer was a mere type of the ultimate sacrifice.

Part 2 will conclude.. The Apocalypse of the Trump

Meanwhile..please visit last years post on Yom Teruah where the sounds of the shofar being blown can be heard.

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…Don’t put it off one more moment…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’ name. Amen.

You are now Born Again by the Holy Spirit of the Living God and you are part of the ever growing family of believers. You will never be the same again!
