How is Yovel Connected To The Fingerprint of God, Keys of Light, The Shofar and Jubilee? Part 2

The fingerprint of God is the confirming visual aspect of the God of Creation.

Fingerprints of Gods’ original authorship, can be seen in everything around us which has the breath and energy of life within it.

After we have placed our lives into His Hands, that is when we will begin to see His fingerprints on and in them.

Even the rams’ horn, from which the Shofar is made, shows the fingerprint of God, as does DNA.

1 John 1:5 – This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is LIGHT, and in him is no darkness at all.

The Keys of Light seem to be, the

revealed knowledge

imparted to those with

eyes to see and ears to hear

as opened by

Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh. Eph. 1:8

16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. KJV. Matt.13:15-17

This is understanding the spiritual and comprehending the dimension Jesus/Yeshua came to demonstrate.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, Acts 16:14 

When God opens the spiritual eyes inside of us, it may be opposite to what we have always thought; and may change both how we see a situation, and what we believe about it.

Our world view takes on a new look as the veils are removed. Just as the moment that the fog lifts and reveals what was there all the time, we simply could not see through the fog/veil.

While we cannot help but be affected by circumstances surrounding us, our spiritual senses can be sharpened to such a degree that, we can actually benefit from them.

This only comes from spending time in the presence of the Lord, for it is only then that we can see our circumstances through His eyes: that is when the eyes of our understanding are being enlightened.

When Jesus/Yeshua said in Matthew 13:13 Seeing they do not see.

He was no doubt referring to more than the use of the natural eyes and ears.

Paul makes a strange statement saying, that you must have “the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know” (Ephesians 1:18). Indicating that the heart has eyes!

The heart of the spirit apparently also has a door, upon which He knocks; and the lock is on the inside. Only we can open it to let in the Lord and His enlightening Spirit. The lock needs a KEY of LIGHT that illuminates, and as God is Light, so it is as Messiah said, He gives the Keys.

Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Ps 119:105

Locks are usually the recipients of keys and locks are mostly integral to, or somehow connected to, doors. They are also called portals, and as we have seen in paleo pictographs of the Hebrew letter dalet, this letter comes from the word meaning Door.

Paleo-Pictograph meaning of Dalet is:

Door, passageway, the process of entering in.

Also means threshold, starting point, point of entry, gate, must begin here.

These are His instructions; when He said I Am the Door of the sheep, we are to follow.

He gave us the example, manifested in the door. He is the One who opened the passage for us to enter in. He is also our guard, defender, shield and Shepherd.

We are to…Seek the kingdom… and we are given the keys. It’s up to us to find the doors and locate the locks, for He told us if we seek we shall find, knock and it shall be opened.

Every door leads somewhere. Every portal opens into something, mostly houses/ buildings of one type or another. The question is, who does the building belong to?

If we have a key and permission to use it, then we are also permitted entrance and obviously welcome; as we must know the owner who gave us the key. We would not give a stranger the key to our house.

Likewise Messiah gives us His KEYS to His house, which is the inner spiritual house of our physical being of which He is now the owner because we now belong to Him and are no longer strangers. We have His Keys of Light.

There is one nation which has never been eradicated throughout all of history. One group of people has survived where others have not.

They are His miraculous witness, they exist for the plan and purpose of God – chosen and separated; set-apart for the specific purpose to declare His existence and fulfill His purpose in restoring us to Himself. In the wilderness, the nation was reborn from bondage and became the herald of future events declaring the end before it began.

In Deut. 30:1-4, Moses declared the journey which Israel would take through all its times of tragedy and captivity. However, He also said they would return to the land. In fact, Moses says that when these events occur, God will do an amazing thing. He says that the Lord himself “will return and gather” His people from their captivity, it was a reference to the Jubilee ordinance.

Ex 19:19 As the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses would speak and God would answer with a voice/shofar/thunder. 

They were to sound the rams horn/shofar.

Leviticus 25:10 (KJV).

And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

There’s only one place in the writings where the rams horn shofar is connected to the words you shall return, and it’s in Lev. 25:10 and is called the law of Jubilees.

The Jubilee is God’s origination and ordained by Him that at the Jubilee, all that has been lost is restored. In Jubilee year we come home and separation from family and land is ended and everything is returned and restored back to the original owner.

Here is another key of light/revealed knowledge.

The connection between the rams horn/shofar and jubilee is that,

the rams horn/the shofar

WAS THE SIGN

of the Jubilee.

It was the rams’ horn/shofar,

that both

ushered in

and

proclaimed its’ coming,

all through the land,

every 50 years.

This was given to Israel and the children of Israel, which includes every grafted in born again believer.

It is a returning to our ancestral possession/land. Deut. 30:3. The sign of the end times would be the return of Israel to her land of the promise!

There have been many Jubilees.

Yovel/Jubilee and Shofar are synonymous; and this is why the Shofar is called the Yovel. And it is why we have missed the deeper significance, when we only read the English words that have been translated from the Hebrew and Aramaic languages.

(Remember Bet/beit and vet, Bb and Vv are the same in the Hebrew alef-bet so the letters are interchangeable).

It is so much clearer when we read the Hebrew word as there is no letter J in the Alef bet, instead it is the letter Y.

Jubilee reads Y B L – even pronouncing the letters without vowels, it immediately sounds and reads like the Hebrew word; and adding vowel sounds makes it complete.

Now it is easier to see that Jesus/Yeshua is not only the Dalet /the Door; but also our Jubilee/Yubel. He is the physical manifestation of heralding the return and restoration of all things; the shofar declaring its imminent arrival and His impending return. 

The fact is, that all language needs a Voice, a Kol, and that voice also needs a frequency in the form of sounds to express itself.

To the foreigner another language sounds like nonsense; just a jumble of noise. But to the one who knows that language it makes perfect sense. This is true of all animals, birds, and sea life which communicate in their own way with sound; e.g the whales are even said to have a song.

So why would we not think the sound of a shofar would not communicate something to the listener as expelled by the blower?

The main KEY to this is Yom Kippur. The rams horn/SHOFAR is what ushers in and brings the Jubilee/Yovel.

Yom Kippur is the Key to Yovel.

Here is another key of light/revealed knowledge.

Jubilee represents the setting in motion of God’s purposes. It sets the stage, initiates and inaugurates the course; sets in motion a sequence of events, moving forward until the next Jubilee.

A sequence of prophetic purposes, that with the passage of time, will become increasingly manifest in the natural realm.

It’s the fruition of the seeds planted,

it sets in motion a new cycle,

it ends one and immediately begins another,

it opens up a new era,

it unleashes His appointed purposes.

It is a name based on the SHOFAR that was sounded to proclaim it’s coming. The year of YOVEL, when slaves and prisoners were set free; it is year of restoration.

The Jubilee/Yovel, can only begin

on one specific day.

Yom Kippur.

The Day of Atonement.

Why?

Because blessings can only come after being reconciled to God; and the only way that was possible was through the atonement.

So apart from Yom Kippur there can be no Jubilee. No atonement = no release, no freedom, and no restoration.

The atonement is the sacrifice of Messiah.

What is the Yovel key?

The key is Yom Kippur

because it brings the yovel,

the atonement, the at-one-ment.

Therefore if Messiah is the atonement and we are IN HIM, it could be said we also bring the Jubilee and the more we dwell in the atonement, the more we will live in the Jubilee.

To have the power of Jubilee means:

having the power to walk in freedom,

and the power of returning home,

the power of reconciliation,

the power of liberty and

the power to be restored to God-given inheritance.

To do this we must go deeper into Messiah, and into His atonement and this is achieved by way of relationship.

Deep calls to deep, and from Messiah comes our Jubilee because from Yom Kippur comes the Yovel.

Yud, Vav, Bet, Lamed.

As Yom Kippur is always preceded by trumpets which focuses on the end, it announces the closing of the annual sacred cycle.

The Shofar/trumpet will one day announce the coming of Kings and kingdoms. It is prophesied that when the Shofar trumpet sounds, the kingdom of God will come.

Shofar/trumpets call the people to gather before God. So it’s prophesied that at the sound of the Shofar/trumpet Gods’ people will be gathered up into His presence.

It’s a wake up call, and it will be enough to wake the dead!

And it will announce the start of a king’s reign.

Meaning: when it sounds, the reign of THE King will begin. The kingdom of this world will become the kingdom of the Lord.

These appointed times, are just as much a part of the new renewed covenant, as are the appointed days of spring. They are telling us, that faith is not only in what was, as in their fulfillment, but also of what is yet to come.

We live our lives FROM salvation and yet TO redemption. Our HOPE/TIKVAH is in the Lord.

Lev. 23:24; Matt. 24:31; 1Cor. 15:52; 1Thess. 4:16.

Lev. 25:10.

Jubilee is all about separation,

it’s Hallow, Holy, as in set apart. The command is to separate out and to treat it differently than the 49 yrs that preceded it.

First it’s a kadosh/holy year unto the Lord like no other year.

This is true both for corporate and personal observation.

2nd it’s a proclamation of liberty, freedom.

3rd it’s all about the inhabitants and citizens (which we are spiritually grafted into) of Israel.

4th its about the multiplication of time. This time period is 7yrs and 7 is the number of completion. This Year is 5780. Meanings: grace, completion, new beginnings.

Lev. 25 :8-10, the Shofar is to be sounded and is based on mathematics: 7×7+1=50

5th thing is restoration

yod means to work pictured as a hand to do a deed to make something to accomplish a purpose.

VAV pictured as an iron nail; means to add, to secure, to join together, to bind together, to make a connection between 2 things which are separated from each other. It’s a wooden peg and a wooden hook and it means: to hold up.

BET has the idea of a child or family and it pictured as a tent or house; a picture of a dwelling place. It means inside and is the 1st letter in the Torah – Bereshit that identifies the Son of God.

LAMED pictured as the staff of a shepherd; means control, to have authority, to urge forward, it’s the voice of authority.

Putting these together is clearly supportive of the common meaning of

Jubilee: A divine/holy deed is being done that restores families to their homes where they are once again joined together and revived and renewed and regain the authority and control over the land and possessions that were once lost.

There’s a further apocalypse though, which does not focus on Israel and the land, or its restoration. Nor is it restricted to Israel or the Jewish people; this is because it is about the Messianic Jubilee.

The deeper significance is in the spiritual sense as a prophetic forecast. And its implications are more far reaching because it’s for all people, everywhere on the face of the earth. It is declaring that God has a divine plan that will be revealed and unfold at the appointed time/MOED; in order to deliver mankind from the wrath of God, the bondage of sin and eternal separation from His presence/throne in Shamayim/heavens.

This Jubilee will heal and restore the breach between people and their Creator, through the atoning sacrifice of Messiah. Only through the blood of Jesus/Yeshua shed at Calvary, are our sins forgiven. Then we are invited to be reunited with our Heavenly Father and adopted into the family of God and one day we will be in His presence eternally.

This is the freedom that is being declared in the shadow type of Jubilee; this is Jesus/Yeshua’s Jubilee/Yubel/Yovel, and the one that Jesus/Yeshua declared in Galilee, recorded in Luke 4:18,19 when He read from the Isaiah scroll.

Rom 10: 9-10 says that it was being fulfilled by Him.

Jesus/Yeshua is our Jubilee.

Lev. 25:10.

Our conventional understanding of 50 is 7×7 + 1.

7 is divine completion, but of what?

What is the meaning behind the numbers of Jubilee/YOVEL – 10 6 2 30?

Yod with a numerical value 10: the perfection of a divine order, completeness of divinely ordered events, completing an order.

One of 4 sacred numbers and means ordinal perfection.

Vav with a numerical value of 6: means enmity with God, weakness of man, imperfection and the manifestation of sin and the evils of satan/adversary. It also means to fall short, to labor, to sorrow. It’s the number of man’s secular completeness and therefore the number of mans world.

Bet 2 is the first number in which there is a division; it can have a dual meaning and is made up of 2 other numbers 1+1. It can mean to indicate a difference of opinion, e.g. evil vs. good; and indicates that another 1 can come alongside us, the second one, or someone who comes alongside, either to hinder, or to help/assist.

It also refers to part of the creator God as the Son, the living Word. He was there at the beginning, He is the Alef and Tav. It is revealed to us as a beautiful picture as it is the first number/letter in Torah. At the creation account, it is the first letter of the first word, Bereshit; not genesis. It is a letter B/bet/beyt, and is the picture of a house or tent and the number value of 2.

Both the picture and numerical value point to the Son of God. The only Son, the uncreated Son, who was the divinely conceived, Son of the Father.

Lamed 30 means blood sacrifice.

It is 3 x 10 – 3 is divine perfection and x10 = ordinal perfection.

The result being, the divine order is at a magnified perfection – marking the right time.

The fact that 3 and 10 are 2 of the sacred numbers and are in the root of Jubilee/Yubel, indicates that whatever is hidden in this number is of extreme significance.

There are other numbers that are related to the sequencing of time, 40, 50, 300 and 400 and all are divisible by 10. However, 10 is the only one regularly used in the scriptures as the divine prophetic multiplier.

10 forecasts there is a divine plan in place unfolding in time and space. It can also be taken with other numbers in the same word, to forecast a particular and precise period of time. Wherever a number can be divided by 10, it indicates that there is a revelation in that number, that has something to do with the 5 W’s. Those 5 being, the Who, the What, Where, When and Why; as related to the divinely ordained plan of God.

6 is mans number, and as 7 is a sacred number that reveals divine completion, so 6 falls short of God’s perfection.

1 = God, Humans are short of perfection by 1 because they are without God.

6 magnifies man’s imperfection and is the manifestation of man’s secular completion; and always comes to an end with sin, sorrow and failure. More than any other number, 6 is the one that reminds us that we are at enmity with God and unable in our own strengths, to bridge the gap. It also reminds us that we are travelers passing through man’s fallen and corrupt world. Friendship with the world is enmity with God. We can’t serve God and mammon and invariably our lives are ruled by one or the other.

As we have seen, HaYovel, which in Hebrew means The Jubilee;

pronounced: HA-yo-VEL.

יוֹבֵל  lamed, bet, vav, yod, also has the meaning ram’s horn, trumpet. 

Yovel or yobel {yob-ale’}; apparently from yabal; the blast of a horn (from its continuous sound); specifically, the signal of the silver trumpets; hence, the instrument itself and the festival thus introduced — jubile, ram’s horn, trumpet.

According to Jewish tradition, the reestablishment of the Biblically-mandated Jubilee year, is part of the Messianic process. In Judaism, it is a positive religious commandment “to sanctify the 50th year” (Leviticus 25:8).

When all the twelve tribes lived in Israel, in their ancestral estates, the year following seven complete Shemittah cycles—the fiftieth year—was observed as Yovel, the Jubilee year. During Yovel, too, the land was not worked, as during Shemittah.

The Shemitah, (sometimes spelled Shemittahor or Shmita), is the final year in a seven-year cycle of debt forgiveness and land use, prescribed for Israel in the Old Testament. Known also as the Sabbatical Year. The Sabbatical Year and The Jubilee Year (Yovel), provided for a period of both social equality and ecological recovery, a year of REST/SHALOM.

Most Hebrew scholars agree that the original meaning of the word ‘Yovel’ (Hebrew for ‘jubilee’) is ‘ram’ or ‘deer’, as can be found in the Book of Joshua: “Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of RAM’S horns before the ark.

Every 50th year is considered YOVEL, meaning, that all Jewish slaves are freed and that all land which has changed hands in the years since the last YOVEL now returns to the hands of its original owner.

Jubilee (biblical) The Jubilee ( Hebrew: יובל  yōḇel; Yiddish: yoyvl) is the year at the end of seven cycles of shmita (Sabbatical years), and according to Biblical regulations had a special impact on the ownership and management of land in the Land of Israel; 

Yovel’s origin and use are both in the Hebrew language. Yovel is a variant form of the English name Jubal. Modern Hebrew has adopted the European sense of the word, and a Yovel can mean the marking of any anniversary. 

The name Jubilee is from the Hebrew word yovel, “ram’s horn,” the year being so called because a ram’s horn was sounded when it was proclaimed (Leviticus 25:9). 

Hebrew: יובל yōḇel; Yiddish: yoyvl) is the year at the end of seven cycles of shmita (Sabbatical years).

When Yovel/Jubilee arrives, the Jewish slave becomes once again a free person, who is devoted only to the service of Adonai/the Lord, and not to a human master and so, liberty takes on a new meaning. However it does not mean ownerless, rather it means belonging to the rightful, natural Master.

At the end of days, when Messiah/Mashiach shall arrive, we will return to the Source, and our natural condition, an existence unencumbered by a Yetzer Hara, an existence in which our sole desire will be to derive pleasure from Our Heavenly Father’s infinite perfection.

Yetzer Hara in Hebrew: יֵצֶר הַרַע  refers to the congenital inclination to do evil, by violating the will of God.

The term is drawn from the phrase: the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil. (Hebrew: יֵצֶר לֵב הָאָדָם רַע, yetzer lev-ha-adam ra).

The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The yetzer hara represents the inner impulse or tendency within the human heart to gravitate toward selfish gratification (the word yetzer first appears in Genesis 6:5 

The Yetzer HaTov, is the spirit, that tells us to do good and to be loyal to God; it’s the good inclination and inner impulse to do good.

Yetzer יֵצֶר

Strongs # 3336 pronounced yay’-tser meaning: a form, framing, purpose, intent, intentions, mind.

So now we can see how Yovel is connected to the Fingerprint of God, the Keys of Light, the Shofar and Jubilee.

We are Yuval – led by Messiah Jesus/Yeshua.

Jesus/Yeshua is Jubilee/Yubel/Yovel/the Atonement/rams horn/Shofar who gave us the keys of His Kingdom, the keys of light and God’s fingerprint is on all of it.

We are in Jubilee and a divine/holy, set-apart deed is being done, as we work out our salvation, we are being restored to the Father and joined together into the family of God where all that was lost is regained, revived and renewed.

May the song of our life be as the sound of music to our Heavenly Father.

Shalom, shalom

Apocalypse of the Trump – Part 3- The Sound Of The Neshamah?

In Part 2 we saw where there was a further

apocalypse/revealing,

in

this trump,

this shofar,

because each of the letters in the Hebrew Alef-bet, also represent numbers.

Part 3 concludes The Apocalypse Of The Trump with the sound of the Neshama, (Neshamah/Neshimah), The Breath of God.

 neshama (נְשָׁמָה nəšâmâh – Hebrew from the root nšm or breath).

Neshemah chayyim – breath of life.

Chayyim/Chaim is plural (literally lives/lifes, not life) Elohim is also plural.

The breath of our spirit and soul is combined with the wind, or breath that comes out from our inner selves. That wind or breath is then released out from our bodies.

In reality it is in part, the expelling of the breath of God’s life(chaim) in us. This same breath of God that was breathed into Adam.

God breathed lives/chaim/Chayyim into Adam.

For us as believers, our born again spirit, is further infused by the Ruach/Spirit of God.

The life-force is not a result of organic material, it is from God. The scripture says that spirit returns to Him when it leaves these physical bodies.

Following this thought…… Is it His indwelling Ruach/Spirit/Breath/Life/Chaim, that flows out through us and transferring along the shofar as it it blown/sounded; then it ascends to the realms of the heavens? The chaim, the lifes of God, issuing forth as Ruach/Spirit into the Shamayim/heavens.

Let’s look a little further…

As His presence was there at Sinai, at the Akedah/the binding of Isaac, and as the 2 shofars were ready to step in at the sacrifice and intervene/save/resurrect, the son.

That since God could raise him from the dead to perform his promises, he would sacrifice him to obey God’s command. Heb. 11:9

This faith grew from what God had done, in giving him Isaac from his own dead body, and Sarah’s dead womb.

The Covenant mandate was met; and God Who was the bodily fulfillment of the promise, eventually came. God will provide HIMSELF the Lamb.

He was to become the Lamb and prophetically declared it ahead of time.

Another mystical property of the sounds of the shofar, is the amazing ability to express the inner human neshama in the form of sound. (The shofar is not classed as a musical instrument.) 

Neshimah

Breath: Psalms 150:6

Nun/Noon – Shin/Sheen – Mem – Hey/Heh

Some Sages teach that the sound made by the shofar, IS the sound of the human neshama, the soul itself to which the 5 physical senses are connected.

Hearing is an essential part of the well known Hebrew prayer called the Shema.

Long before Messiahs day, the Israelites recited a daily prayer called the Shema. The prayer comes directly from Deut. 6 and is a way for them to commit themselves to listening to God’s word and obeying it.

Strongs # 8086 shama/shema שְׁמַע Pronounced: shem-ah’

 

Just as there is no single Hebrew word meaning obey, there also is no specific English word for shema. While this Hebrew verb translates as, hear or listen, it means much more than just hearing or listening. It is an excellent example of the mindset difference between Hebrew, which stresses physical action and Greek and Western culture that stresses mental activity.

SHEMA: means HEAR and OBEY or LISTEN and DO.

In Mark 4:9, Jesus/Yeshua said, he who has ears to hear let him hear. And this would have included the understanding of action the same as believe it is an active participation not a mental assent or agreement. If we do not act on what we believe and hear we are not accomplishing what is required of us as believers.

Be a doer not a hearer only!

The individual who has ears to hear is the one who diligently attends to the words of Messiah, that he may ponder and OBEY them. Many heard Him out of curiosity, that they might bear something new, not that they might lay to heart the things which they heard, and endeavor to practice them in their lives.

This indeed is the true meaning of faith without works being dead and James 2:18 Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I by my works will show thee my faith.

Good works are obeying and doing. The action of doing the gospel message.

Blowing the shofar is possibly the raw sound of the neshama.

The bend of the shofar is said to be the transition between this world and the next; like a bridge, a joining, a vav, a portal, a dalet, a door; Jesus/Yeshua of course is THE door!

It is an entering in, through the veil. It’s a point of access into the heavenly places, joining the realm of His throne, to where we are situated, by the power of His Ruach flowing through us. Which is the voice/the kol of God.

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

Is the shofar the depth of, or somehow at the root of speech with its’ connection to the voice of God?

Teshuvah, means to go back, to return.

Look behold return to the cross!

Teshuvah is a compound word consisting of the Hebrew Tashan, meaning Return, and Hey, the last letter of the JHVH/YHWH name for God, also represents the Shekinah/Glory, or manifest presence of God. Thus, Teshuvah is a time to return to the presence of God.

So, in a way, are we (spiritually), going back to the moment of creation, to go back into the womb of eternity, to the moment of conception when everything began?

Do we return to our fetal state, our moment of creation; which is why we say we are born again! and in turn experiencing the understanding of CHAIM/lives?

(In Hebrew thinking it is believed that this teshuvah/return is what is meant by memory/zichronot – or remembering as a connecting function of Rosh HaShanah; when the blowing of trumpet/Shofar is sounded. The time of remembering when the Voice of God boomed out from Sinai’s summit.

Meaning of zichronot briefly explained:

There are 3 Basic Prayers said during Rosh HaShanah: Malchuyot, Zichronot, Shofarot. Celebrating God as the incomparable King of The Universe.

These thoughts are inspired by the letters shin, fey/fay, and resh/reysh.

 The goal here, is to enjoy the silence that follows the shofar blast. To forget everything that is not urgently pressing for our immediate attention and to echo and reverberate with the vibrating air of the Shin, fey, resh/reysh which spells shofar. 

Sh f r, the ram’s horn, is a figure of speech for the sound, however is it more than air and breath?

It’s the shofar blower’s own vibrations, those buzzing lips that make the sound.

Is there anything else contained in the sound and in the letters that make up the word for shofar?

Other words with the same letters;

Shin/sheen, pey/pay/fey/fay, resh/reysh are:

shafar שָׁפַר  – to be good, pleasing
shiper שִׁפֵּר – to improve, to beautify
hishtaper הִשְׁתַפֵּר – to become better
shefer שֶׁפֶר – beauty 

This suggests the sound of the shofar may be pleasing to our ears, and have the effect of motivating self-improvement and change. Also that the echoes of the shofar uncover beauty throughout this coming year.
Truly the sounds of the shofar are unsettling and knock things out of kilter, and when placed in a different order, spell other words and different meanings.

Shin, resh, fay –sin, resh, fay or
Saraph שָֹרַף – a troublesome thought, a fiery serpent or angel
Sereipha שְֹרֵפָה – burning, fire, conflagration

Resh, shin, fay
Resheph רֶשֶׁף  – flame, spark, fever

Here we could say that the vibrations of the shofar stir up troublesome thoughts and the friction becomes fire. Our souls are burned by feverish minds and hot headed actions. However, the flames can also have a purifying effect too and burn away that which holds us down, the sin that so easily besets us and becomes a burden.

What happens next?
Rearrange the letters and we get more words:

What’s left after the fire? Is there a new spark bringing illumination to a new angle/aspect of our lives?

Resh, fay, shin
Rephesh רֶפֶשׁ  – mud, dirt, mire
Raphash רָפַשׁ – to trample, to pollute

Pay, shin, resh
Pashar פָּשַׁר – to melt, to be lukewarm

We must also see that the shofar itself is of this world and that the horn came from an animal. It’s not an instrument made in heaven.
In one way we are hearing our own human effort. While in this world we all get muddy, because our way of life tramples on beings around us whether we are aware of it or not.
This gives rise to the question we should regularly ask ourselves. Are we only lukewarm in our desire to change?

Turning the same letters around one last time gives us hope:
Pay, shin, resh
Pisher פִּשֵׁר – to compromise, arbitrate
Pesher פֵּשֶׁר – interpretation, solution

Just as the vibrations of the shofars sounds are unsettling, let us pray that they may reveal to us new perspectives and understanding that will lead to solutions for balance in our spiritual walk embracing only Godly, healthy compromise, which will always bring us full circle back to shefer, beauty and goodness.

So it seems, shofarot may be connected to malchuyot biblically, (blowing of the shofar as part of the coronation at 1 Kings 1:34, 39, 41) even if it isn’t necessarily connected with Rosh Hashanah in the biblical text.

Malchuyot is a means to reaffirm the coronation of The Lord as King of the Universe, on the day that commemorates the beginning, the world’s creation where participants try to capture something of the awe-inspiring nature of the Lord God.

As we teshuvah, do we in some way return to the moment when the memories or seeds, of the parents are given to us?

This same Hebrew concept postulates that the sound heard by Adam HaRishon/the first human, on wakening from his creation, was the sound of a shofar. The sound made by his neshama as it entered him; that is, the presence of the spirit of God flowing into Him.

Was Hearing the 1st of the 5 physical senses activated in Adam?

When we wake someone it’s by sound, by speaking their name or the sound of an alarm clock.

The name Adam originated from the Hebrew word, אָדָם . Pronounced: aw-dawm, which means human, as a species, male and female. The Scriptures use this literal meaning for Adam, meaning simply humans. 

These thoughts suggests that the shofar can also take us back to the very moment when our neshama entered us. 

If indeed the sound of the shofar is the voice of God, why wouldn’t it be able to do so?

neshaMah

nun shin mem hey

 נֶשַׁמַה 

(Strong’s #5397) means: breath and is sometimes used in place of nephesh or rûach, it is derived from: נָשַׁם nâsham meaning: to pant or blow away (Strong’s #5395).

Nefesh, neshama and ruach are Hebrew words for soul… The first is the air, as it is still in the trumpet blower’s cheeks; and this corresponds to the neshamah.

The soul, or neshamah, is the self, the I, that inhabits the body and acts through it. It is believed that everything has a Soul, not just human beings, but every created entity has one also.

Creatures have a voice too.

The understanding is that animals also have souls, as do plants and even inanimate objects;

every blade of grass has a soul, and every grain of sand as part of creation as a whole, has the breath of God’s life in it.

The diagram shows a little of how it is viewed by some.

These concepts are unfamiliar to our western mindset.

We have also limited ourselves by the restrictions of translated texts, which fogs the pictures contained within the Hebrew alef-bet. However, it is revealed to those willing to dig into the very roots of the original language of the God of creation; whose very act of speaking brought forth all that is.

This same conceptual thinking, will help us to understand why a ram was found at the very moment of sacrifice.

There is even an understanding among some scholars that Isaac expired and was resurrected?!

What is certain is at that precise moment a shofar became available. Two rams horns to be exact.

In Hebrew thought:
Just as earthly kings have horns and shofarot blown to celebrate the anniversary of their coronation, so The Lord wants the shofar blown on the anniversary of the Creation- when there came to be a world that God could rule over, as it is said:
In the same way as earthly kings have horns and shofarot blown to announce their decrees – and only after this warning actually enforce the decree, so The Lord wants the shofar blown to announce the beginning of the 10 Days of Return, when all are commanded to turn their lives around.
Just as the shofar blew when The Lord gave the Torah at Mount Sinai, so it blows to remind us each year to do as our forebears said at Sinai.
Just as Yehezekel (Ezekiel) compared the words of the Prophets, calling for the people to change their ways, to a shofar, so we must know that those who hear the shofar and do not take warning and change their lives will be responsible for their own destruction, as it is said: Because the shofar was blown as a war-alarm when the Temple was destroyed, it should remind us of the destruction of the Temple, the disaster that we brought upon ourselves, and thus should warn us to abandon our misdeeds in order to avert disaster, as it is said:
Because The Lord used a ram as a substitute sacrifice for Isaac, the ram’s horn should remind us how Isaac and Abraham were prepared to give up all their hopes and dreams for The Lord’s sake. Bereshit (Genesis) 22.
Since the blowing of a horn causes cities to tremble, so the shofar will make us tremble and fear our Creator, as it is said: Since the shofar will be blown on the great day of the Lord.
Since the shofar will be blown when the tempest-tossed of The Lord ’s people are gathered in harmony to the Land of Israel, we should hear the shofar to stir our longings for that day, as it is said: (Yeshayahu) Isaiah18:3
This reminds us of:
(Matityahu) Matthew 24:29-31
Since the shofar will be blown when Mashiach revives the dead, we hear the shofar in order to revive our faith in that supernatural transformation, the final victory of life and freedom over death, the ultimate oppressor, as it is said: and of another event at Yom Teruah  (Yehezekel) Ezekiel 37:1-14

Another use of the shofar is to bring about the will of The Lord. This instrument is capable of breaking down the greatest of barriers: (Yehoshua) Joshua 6:4-9
The shofar is used to gather the people: (Shoftim) Judges 3:27
The shofar is capable of bringing fear to the heart of even the most hardened man: (Shoftim) Judges 7:16 And he divided the 300  [into] 3 companies,
The shofar can be used to halt actions that are not helpful: (2 Shmuel) Samuel 2:28

The shofar is used to announce the new moon and the Jubilee year.

The Torah provides for the blast of the shofar on Yom Kipppur to mark the start of yovel, Lev. 25:9

In this next verse we see, again, that the shofar is used to indicate the presence of The Lord: (2 Shmuel) Samuel 6:15
The shofar is also used to alert us and to call us to battle against our enemies: Ezra-Nechemiah 4:18

The shofar is used to call all of The Lord’s people to repentance on Yom Teruah Rosh HaShanah Tehillim  Ps.81:3
As a call to return in repentance before The Lord, the shofar has no equal: Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 58:1

 

There are 4 different sounds associated with the blowing of the shofar during the Yom Teruah service:

 

These sounds are interpreted as follows:

TEKIAH – ‫תקיעה

The tekiah is a long blast.

A pure unbroken sound that calls man to search his heart/lev, turn from his wrong ways, and to seek forgiveness through repentance.

In an: It is finished! Proclamation of Gods’ sovereignty, hailing Him as ruler of the world. We, like the heralds trumpets, announce that the authority of the King has come; and at the Name of the Messiah, every knee shall bow.

The object of Yom Teruah/Rosh HaShana is to crown The Lord as our King. Tekiah, the long, straight shofar blast, is the sound of the King’s coronation. In the Garden of Eden/Gan Eden, Adam’s first act was to proclaim God as King; and now, the shofar proclaims to ourselves and to the world: God is our King.

We set our values straight and return to the reality, of God as the One Who runs the world; guiding history, moving mountains, and caring for each and every human being individually and personally.

SHEBARIM – ‫שברים

A broken, staccato, trembling sound. It  typifies the sorrow that comes to man when he realizes his misconduct and desires to change his ways. The shebarim or shevarim is 3 shorter blasts. It is said that Shebarim/Shevarim is the sobbing cry of a Hebrew heart yearning to connect, to grow, to achieve.

TERUAH – ‫תרועה

A wave-like sound of alarm calling upon man to stand by the banner of Ha shem. The teruah is 10 (some say 9) very quick short blasts. The Teruah sound resembles an alarm clock, waking us from our spiritual slumber. Num. 10 (Also in 2Chron., Jer., Joel and Zeph.)

This shofar sound brings clarity, alertness, and focus, to fix what’s broken, open our eyes.

TEKIAH GEDOLAH .  גדולה ‫תקיעה

The prolonged, unbroken sound typifying a final appeal to sincere repentance and atonement. This note concludes each set of blowing during the Rosh HaShanah ceremony. It has been described it as a sign of divine withdrawal, based on the verse: “When the Shofar sounds long, they [the people] shall come up to the mountain…” (Shemot 19:13).

Please click link below to hear the sounds described above: Shofar begins at 00:11 mark.

It has been said that the tekiah blast represents joy, whereas the blasts of the shebarim/shevarim and teruah represent pain and affliction.

Short Hebrew statement spoken as a prayer:

Baruch ata Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher kidishanu bemitzvotav vetzivanu lazman hazeh.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, Who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this season.

When we blow the Shofar we are accepting the Kingship of the Master of the World.

‫היום הרת עולם

Hayom harat olam

This day is the birthday of the world !

 

Why is Rosh HaSahanah called the birth-day of the world?

 

Hebrew texts tell us that this life is a corridor to the next life.

Death is a birth to a new existence.

 

This is in line with the meaning of chaim meaning lifes, not just one life, as the IM of chaim means a plural, more than one life.

Just as emergence from the womb/racham constitutes physical birth, and detachment from that body is the birth of the soul into the physical realm of earth. In the same way as the 8 or 9 months in the womb is the time period preceding the earthly birth, the 70 or 80 years on earth are the preparation or gestation period preceding Birth into the heavenly realm.

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

 

It could be said that Rosh HaShananah, is the birth canal of the new year!

 

It is very significant that a shofar with its narrow mouthpiece and wider opening somewhat resembles a birth canal?

In fact, the Bible mentions a great woman with a name of the same etymology/meaning: Shifrah. She was one of 2 named out of the many midwives of the ancient Hebrews who left Egypt.

Apparently the name Shifra comes from a Hebrew root word meaning: the capacity to make something better, or to improve its quality.

And that is what she did: In keeping with this characteristic, and contrary to Pharaoh’s orders, Shifrah ensured that the babies would emerge healthy and viable, then swaddled and massaged them to foster their strength and beauty.

 

The shofar is repleat with birth imagery:

It can be viewed as the birth canal, the air rushing through it to create a plaintive cry, is the breath of life, and the sound that we hear recalls the cries of labor.

Traditionally, we hear 100 blasts of the shofar during Rosh Hashanah. It has been said that the first 99 are the cries of a woman in labor, and the final one, equal to the tekiah gedolah, is the responding cry of the newborn child.

This day is the birthday of the world, or more accurately, this day is the pregnancy of the world.

On Rosh HaShanah our world becomes pregnant with Gods’ presence, and in a way He is pregnant with us, (carrying us).

It is a time of mutual awareness and understanding. It is the time when we enter the inner world, the world of the womb, in order to be reborn into change.

God intervened in the wombs of the matriarchs Sarah, Rachel, and Hannah and made them pregnant. Their stories are punctuated by an act of divine intervention:

God remembers [ז-כ-ר] or takes note [פ-ק-ד] of them; connecting the mysterious name of the day, called a memorial of trumpet blasts [זכרון תרועה; zikhron teruah] (Lev. 23:24),

to God’s remembering these women:

שָׂרָה saw-raw’. Sarah. Gen. 21:1

חַנָּה khan-naw’. Channah. 1 Sam. 1:19

רָחֵל  RAY-chel. Rachel. Gen. 30:22

On Rosh HaShanah, the stories of Sarah, Hannah, and Rachel are read to remind the listeners of the hope for new life.

In the same way He added the Heh/Hey into Abram and Sarai’s physical names.

Heh or Hey means: behold! look!

There is an understanding that Sarah, the mother of the Jewish people, herself was born on this day.

The story of the Akedah, the binding of Isaac, is also read. It describes the moment when Isaac is offered up as a sacrifice by his father Abraham, to let us know that this time of year also signals radical change, a part of us, the self life in enmity with God must die, in order to be reborn into the power of the resurrected life for another year.

We are the ones who inscribe ourselves for life or death by living our lives throughout the year the way we do. We are the ones who give birth to ourselves.

In the next world our birth and the nature of our experience will reflect the choices we, and we alone, made.

In this life we were born into circumstances beyond our control, but in the next life we will emerge from the womb/racham of circumstances we shaped with our daily life choices and actions.

If we are true to our soul here, then our soul will experience a happy birth in the next world. If we succumb to the low impulses of the material body, will we be confused and dismayed when we emerge into the wide space of eternity?

It is true to say that the shofar sounds like a child wailing.

Already mentioned is that Shofar is a Hebrew word that comes from a root meaning BEAUTY.

שָׁפַר

means: to beautify, alluding to the beautification of our ways as we turn to God in teshuvah. In this month (i.e., the seventh month of Tishrei) you shall amend (shapperu) your deeds.

Doing teshuva means getting to the root of the problem and deepening our awareness of God.

The Inner Voice

שׁוֹפָר

Rosh HaShanah is possibly linked to the word shofar to the verse:

Iyov (Job) 26:13 “By His breath the Shamayim/Heavens are spread (shifra).”

This verse refers to the dispersing of the clouds to reveal/apocalypse of the clear blue sky.

That which was clouded over and concealed becomes revealed.

The root of the word shifra also means to beautify,

and true beauty is to see the essence of something, the purpose for which it was created.

Shifra is also the root of the word shofar.

שׁוֹפָר

handsome; trumpet; that does good,

shiphrah, brightness, Ex. 1:15 

שִׁפְרָה

The 11th century Jewish commentary on the passage from Exodus identifies Shiphrah with Jochebed, the mother of Moses, and Puah with Miriam, Moses’ sister, making the 2 midwives mother and daughter respectively. 

As a countermeasure, Pharaoh sent for the midwives named Shifra and Puah, and commanded them to kill every baby boy that was born. 3. The midwives feared God and did not obey. 

Shifra/Shiphrah – from the Hebrew meaning: to beautify or to be beautiful, or translates as improvement, a reference to the way that Yocheved would improve the newborns by cleaning them and straightening their limbs. Puah, means cooing, a reference to how Miriam would make cooing sounds to the babies which soothed them.

The fact is, that all language needs a voice, an utterance, and that requires sound and frequency as its carrier, by which it is expressed. Another language sounds completely foreign and unintelligible to one who cannot speak it, just a jumble of sounds. However to the one who knows that language, it makes perfect sense. This is true of animals, birds and sea creatures, who communicate in their own way and combination of sounds. So why would we not think the sound of the shofar could communicate something to the listener as expelled by the blower?

 Each has its nuances and subtleties, that when we understand them, adds a richness to the Word of God and to the overall meaning of the Appointed Time(s) of the Lord.

The shofar gives us a clarity to see beyond the clouds, to see to the blue sky beyond. It is this clarity that results in fear and trembling:

 

Amos 3:6 “Can the shofar be sounded in the city and the people not tremble?”

 

The shofar is said to be the midwife of the new year. Into its piercing cry, we squeeze all our heartfelt prayers, all our tears. Our whole being resonates with its call until it reaches the very beginning, the cosmic womb and there it touches a kind of switch as the Divine Presence shifts from the strict judgment of Yom ha Din (day of judgment) to the compassion of Rachamim/Mercies.

Shafir in Hebrew means fine, but mey shafir means the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus (ubbar) in the womb. (Think mem and waters and the paleo pictograph.)

‫שופר : In the original sense of incising

From the root שפר which means: to be pleasing, be beautiful, be fair, be comely, be bright, glisten, to be beautiful, to improve and to develop.

שפור – Shipur also means: to elevate to a new level,

Messianic Connections

Notice in the following verses that Gabriel is sent in the 6th month of Elul. It’s possible that this is Elul 29 and that Miryam will be remembered on Rosh HaShana, the 1st day of the seventh month:

Luqas/Luke 1:26 And in the 6th month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Yeshua.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the 6th month with her, who was called barren.
Gen. 22:8 is another example of His goodness, in the ascent of Abraham and Isaac up Mt. Moriah vrs, 13-14

So not only in the paleo letters but also in the numbers does each one represent and tell the good news of the gospel message of redemption and salvation. And it is also declared in the sound of the shofar every time it is blown as representing the voice of God announcing His presence and His whole plan of redemption and restoration and reconciliation, being released into the air waves with a

breath…. 

the Shin/sheen, sh from shaddai

the pey of the mouth and

the reysh from the head of the person…

blowing – declaring – the end from the beginning…

the alef to the tav

Yeshua/Jesus our Messiah typified in the shofar the rams horn of the sacricifial offering of the son.

The WORD is living and breathing and should be viewed as life not as a story.

We walk in the footsteps of the Hebrews, the meaning of their name: those who have crossed over and their life/chaim walk is cyclical.

It is an annual rehearsal for a forthcoming marriage and likewise our lives/chaim are to be as well. 

By blowing the shofar, we remember the faith of the Matriarchs/Patriarchs and our own capacity for self-sacrifice.

Blowing the shofar declares that the LORD God is the King of the universe, as it says in Psalm 98:6,

“With trumpets and the sound of the shofar (וְקוֹל שׁוֹפָר), shout for joy before the King ADONAI (הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוָה).”

The Day of Trumpets truly is a rehearsal and celebration of that soon coming day of the Messiah’s return from heaven at the sounding of the great SHOFAR trumpet!

From Part 2…

Salpini is the Greek word for the trumpet

Saino is also associated with another primary Greek root verb, which is seio, meaning to rock or vibrate to and fro, to cause to tremble, or to cause to shake or quake. One of the important uses of this verb in the New Testament includes: Matt. 27:51 Just then the temple curtain was torn in two, from top to bottom!

 

The silver trumpets referred to in part 1

Silver – Kesef – כסף

Kesaph Strongs #3702 כְּסַף    
Phonetic Spelling: (kes-af’)

KAF SAMECH PEI

The Hebrew word for silver can be spelled: Kesaph/kasaph/kessef/kesef.

KAF = lines to follow the pattern and instructions, order, conduct, prescribe, establish, uprightness.

SAMECH = support, structure, the vine, the source, life, code, ideal, model, example,

PEI = open, opening, mouth, declaration-breath.

Meaning: The pattern – lines to follow,the Kodesh instructions of God our ALAHIM;

they are His order of conduct to teach uprightness, the source of our life support, the structure that trains us, according to the model – the ideal; our example is the One who declared it. God/YHVH, who is our deliverer, redeemer and our soon returning King, Messiah Jesus/Yeshua.

The cleansing of the earthly temple on the Day of Atonement was only a rehearsal of that Great Day of Atonement when Elohim will cleanse the earth of all sin. 

This great Judgment Day will see all sin eradicated and HaSatan/Adversary judged and bound.

And lastly, the 1st and 8th days of the Festival of Booths (or Tabernacles) are sacred references, depicting the kingdom age and

rehearsing when the Messiah will tabernacle with His BRIDE after He has wiped sin from all the earth.

Finally

God is interested in the relationship HE has with the user and not the shofar itself.

The shofars have a great purpose.  They were given to keep God’s children in the true memory and worship of Him, by keeping us constantly in the understanding of His great plan of redemption. The annual appointed days are all about the Messiah. 

May this be our prayer today:

we want to be like a shofar in the hand of God, totally emptied out on the inside, emptied of ourselves and our ways of being and doing. We desire to be filled with His Ruach HaKodesh in mind and spirit giving Him the freedom to flow through us and entering in to the ears of the hearers.

May the sounds of the song of our lifes/chaim be music to His hearing.

Shalom shalom!

Please don’t leave this page until you have Made that life-saving decision – time is running out. Don’t miss the day of your visitation!

The Shofars Voice/Kol is Calling for you today!

This life is NOT all there is!

You are not here by chance!

If you’re not certain you are ready for His return, don’t leave this site without being sure.

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!

 

Apocalypse Of The Teruah’s Cry

Rosh Hashanah is the start of a New Year in Israel,

It actually means “Head of the Year.”

And it will be the Hebrew Year

since creation, which really gives a clearer understanding of where we actually are in Father’s timeline.

Rosh Hashanah is celebrated for two days. It is the start of the 3 Fall/ Autumn, Appointed Times of The Lord/Feasts /Festivals.

A look at some fascinating facts, mysteries and scriptures connected with Israel’s Fall/Autumn Appointed Times.

The day on which Rosh HaShanah is celebrated is Biblically known as Yom
Teruah (Day of the Trumpet Blasts)

The traditional Rosh Hashanah greeting is

‘shanah tovah’

which means,

good year!

The word U’Metuka

(and sweet) is sometimes added.

When is Rosh HaShanah?  

The Hebrew date is always the same — the 1st of the month of Tishrei.

The dates of Jewish holidays don’t change from year to year; however, a Jewish year can change in length from 353 to 354 or 355 days long.  A Jewish leap year can be 383, 384 or 385 days long and because the Jewish year is not the same length as the year on the civil calendar, the dates of holidays seem to shift quite a bit; consequently that results in the Israels High Holidays falling anywhere from early September all the way into October.

So what date is the holiday on the Gregorian calendar? This year, Rosh HaShanah begins at sunset on Sunday, September 9. 

September, 2018 calendar with Jewish High Holy Days circled

Brief history explaining the reason for the two calendars and why are they different in length?

The civil Gregorian calendar is based on the solar cycle of 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds — the amount of time it takes the earth to make one complete rotation around the sun.

To correct the problem of those extra hours, an extra day is added to February every four years.  This keeps the equinox (when the sun shines directly on the equator) occurring on generally the same date every year: March 19 or 20 and September 22 or 23.

The Jewish calendar is a luni-solar calendar.  It considers three things: the yearly rotation of the earth around the sun, the daily rotation of the earth on its own axis, and the monthly cycle of the moon around the earth.

Each new moon cycle begins a new month or Rosh Chodesh.  

However, there are approximately 12.4 lunar months in every solar year.  In other words, a lunar year is about 11 days shorter than a solar year.

If the Jewish calendar were a strict lunar calendar that had 29.5 days in a month, every 16 years or so the Fall Feasts would be held in Spring, and Passover would be held in autumn.   

To keep the Jewish holidays and appointed times in their correct seasons, every two or three years the month of Nissan begins earlier and an extra month is added.  This 13-month year is called Shanah Me’uberet, literally, a pregnant year.

The additional month of Adar 1 (also called Adar Aleph) is added before Adar, which is designated Adar 2.  

The addition of the extra month guarantees that Passover (Pesach) and the wheat harvest feast (Pentecost / Shavuot) occurs in the spring.   

Between AD 320 and 385, Hillel II, the Nasi (Prince) of the ancient Jewish Sanhedrin, established the calendar that is used today which follows a 19-year cycle, realigning the lunar and solar calendars.

In this system the extra month is added on the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th and 19th years of the cycle.  The current cycle began at the start of the Jewish year 5758, which occurred on October 2, 1997.

The Gregorian calendar, however, was created in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII and proclaimed the official civil calendar of Britain and the British colonies of America in 1752.

Below is a chart correlating the 7 Appointed Times with Prophetic Fulfillment in Messiah.

The Feast of Trumpets is also the anniversary of the creation of man. Adam, the first human being, opened his eyes to a world that appeared to have always existed.

More Interesting information of HebraicThought and Concepts.

The ancient Hebrew text ‘Book of Formation’, teaches that there is more to the universe than time and space. There is a soul.

Whatever is found in the universe’s soul is found somewhere in its space. And whatever is found in space, is found in time.

In the soul of the universe there is a consciousness from which all consciousness extends.

In space, there is the Land of Israel, a space from where all space is nurtured.

In time, there is Rosh Hashanah, a time from which all time is renewed.

Rosh Hashanah means Head of the Year.

Not just a starting point, but a head, a new beginning of time in which a new consciousness enters our universe. It is said, that whatever transpires in the coming year is first conceived in these two days.

That is why Rosh Hashanah is called the first day of creation, for only then did the world know it had meaning.

For Israel, on each Rosh Hashanah that scene is replayed, and new meaning is discovered in our world, and the world is born again. (Interesting concept!)

All the cosmos came to be because Hashem, (The Name), chose to invest His very essence into a great drama: the drama of a lowly world becoming the home of an infinite God. A marriage of opposites, the fusion of finite and infinite, light and darkness, heaven and earth.

We would seem to be the players in that drama, the cosmic matchmakers. With our every action, we have the power to marry our mundane world to the infinite and unknowable.

Apocalypse of the Teruah’s cry? A horn that cries?

How can an animals horn cry out?

It’s the cry IN the sound of the shofar!

It is part of hebrew thought that the first time a shofar was heard in creation was when God created Adam. God blew Adam’s soul into him, and the sound it made was the sound of the shofar. Just like God created mankind on Rosh Hashanah, on the anniversary of that day, God is recreating us.

Could it be said that we are God’s shofar?..

The sound of the shofar being blown is the sound of creation.

The breath represents the soul, and the instrument represents our bodies.

The shofar reminds us that when our bodies do the will of our soul, there is song and harmony.

Spirituality is represented by music because music sounds even more beautiful the more notes that are being played, unlike too much speech.

Do each of our souls have a mission to add to the harmony of the world?

The shofar is supposed to change us. It’s sounds are intended to invoke that nagging feeling inside of us that asks us to live a deeper, fuller life in the year to come.

There is a difference between simply hearing it and then going about our lives, and really listening to it and having its wailing sound transform us.

Even though it is not the anniversary of the creation of the entire universe, but that of the human being, it’s the true beginning, as all of time, as we know it, begins on this day.

Why? Because on this day, more than any other, the Hebrew thought is we are empowered to change lanes, to switch direction, to alter and transform our destiny and thereby the destiny of all of creation if as we believe everything is connected!

Through us, truth and goodness can become a flaming torch of light, which was once obscured in darkness and ignorance.

All is defined by destiny. Even the past is redefined by the arrow of its future. The very existence of that time that held that past is re-created once it achieves its hidden destiny. A destiny that only each of us can reveal.

For those whose focus is on Rosh Hashanah, the here and now that is all that matters; for it represents the first day of all of time, future and past.

In biblical times, the shofar was used to tell the people that the King was coming.

What is the correct etiquette when a King comes?

Most likely, we want to impress the King so we make an effort to perfect ourselves and our surroundings.

It was also used as a signal that war was coming. What is the strategy we adopt when war comes? Probably we prepare our weapons, form an army and we prepare to fight.

The shofar was also a tool to help break down barriers. When the shofar was blown at Jericho, the walls came crumbling down. This is why it is also known as the 

Even though sometimes we change from the inside out, it is more often influences from the outside that really have an impact on us. Is it possible that the shofar is necessary because it is a powerful tool outside ourselves and helps us to improve ourselves on the inside?

Our actual bones are supposed to resonate with the sound of the shofar. Do we have the ability to not only hear what the sound is reflecting but to absorb its frequency and let it stir deep within our souls, so much so, that there is an effect on our physical bodies??

Throughout life, our soul is constantly being affected by outside influences: fashion dictates how we dress, advertisements tell us what we like, the media affects how we think, and the people that surround us dictate our reality. Yet, how often do we stop and really listen to the sounds that surround us? How often do we connect to what is inside of us and who is above us? How in tune are we with nature and the spiritual aspects of our lives? How much do the sounds of the outside world drown out the sounds of our soul?

With a new year comes a clean slate, the ability to correct our mistakes, with the power to transform into a newer and better self.

The shofar is our call to action – an alarm!

The power is within us. Once we hear the call, it is our job to make it real.

And so too, every morning, we are all reborn from a night-time taste of death.

Since Father created earth by His spoken word and creation is still in motion and at every moment—in the smallest increment of time—every particle of the universe is still being projected into being out of absolute nothingness, as it was at the very genesis of all things.

The feast of trumpets is the season of Teshuvah – the season of repentance/return.

Teshuvah is the Hebrew word from the root word SHUV meaning to return.

Hosea 3:4 -5 Jeremiah 3:22; Isaiah 30:15.

The great mystery is that in ancient times God has set up this entire age as a Hebrew year. The Feast of Tabernacles/Sukkot, starts the civil new year, however on the Sacred Calendar it represents the end of the year, not the beginning.

So the season of repentance comes at the end.

Teshuvah has a double meaning; as well as returning to God, it can also mean physical return. So the days of Teshuvah contain another secret, that of an apocalypse, a revealing, that Israel must return to the land of promise and to Jerusalem.

Teshuvah is not just for a week for a season, but a lifestyle.

We are to live our whole lives with Teshuvah hearts and the greater the Teshuvah, the greater will be our continual returning to Him.

Teshuvah signifies that the time of Israel’s repentance and their subsequent return to Messiah will happen at the end of the age. So in a way the Hebrew year waits for Israel to repent and turn, Teshuvah, in order for it to come to its conclusion. This is why we are to pray for Israel to return to Messiah and why the Appointed Time WILL surely come.

The Rabbis/Teachers compare the coming Messianic era to the full moon, the hope of redemption and His coming is compared to the new moon.

The Talmud, (compendium of rabbinical teachings and discussions), teaches that when the Messiah returns, the moon will cease to diminish and remain as large and bright as the sun.

So while the celebration of the new moon reminds us of His coming, it also reminds us to renew our awareness of His Presence in our lives, and to push forward into the growth and change that He has for us, becoming all He created us to be.

“When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?”  (Psalm 8:3–4)

In truth, we need only awaken the spark of God within our own souls. That spark within us connects with the Infinite Light of God above. The circuit is complete and a new cycle begins. For this reason we are called His children, and we call Him our Father. We are created beings, yet there is something of us that lies beyond creation. It is the One who sustains the universe who breaths within us.

On Rosh Hashanah, God is addressed as both

Father/Avinu/Avinou

and

King/Malkeinu/Malkaynou

Father, because there is something of Him within each of us.

King, because He dictates what will be and what will not.

Indeed, as we choose, so He will dictate.

Choose life.

A King speaks and his word is fulfilled. God speaks and the world comes into being. 

When we speak the words of Torah/Scripture, they resonate in the heavens and beyond. Spoken words have sound and frequency which is part of creations makeup. Why? Because they are His words, and they are on the rebound to Him. He spoke, He said and He watches over His Word to perform it and it will not return to Him void. Is.55:11

The central observance and widespread custom of Rosh Hashanah is sounding and listening to the blowing of the shofar on both mornings of Rosh Hashanah. The shofar is made from a hollowed-out ram’s horn. It produces three ‘voices’: 

tekiah (a long blast), 

shevarim (a series of three short blasts) and 

teruah (a staccato burst of at least nine blasts).

Click http link below for more information and on the mp3 bar to hear the different shofar sounds.

(The sounds will begin after 15 seconds)

https://www.minimannamoments.com/blowing-your-own-trumpet-2/

The shofar is blown at various intervals during the Rosh Hashanah morning service. When all added up there are 100 ‘voices‘ in total.

On Rosh Hashanah, we cry out from our very essence, from our spirit man, with the call of the shofar; Father replies, sending His very essence towards His creation.

The shofar cries out from the raw essence of the soul, to its Beloved, the One who is the raw essence of all being. It’s not a human voice but rather the howl of an animal horn and when its sound is heard it is so primal that the mind ceases to think and the heart skips a beat, the throb of life suspended for a moment in time.

That is the moment that heaven and earth connect. The base nature of our souls here on earth reach up to touch the divine essence above as He reaches down and the RE-union is made. Our souls press upwards bursting through the veil into the heavenly dimension, escaping the constraints enforced upon it by our earthly bodies.

For there are many things that are important even essential for us and often words flow out in a burst of emotion, rich words, expressive and vibrantly imbued with life.

And then, there are things that shake us to the very core – challenging all that we have known and believed.

Things that do not wait for the right words or the mind’s permission, in this case, the mind cannot fathom them, the most expressive words could not contain them. These are the things that can only break out in a cry, in a scream, and then fall into silence.

This is something of the sound of the shofar: From the very core of our souls our hearts crying, ‘Father! please don’t leave – let your presence remain always!’

Another significance of the shofar is to recall the Binding of Isaac which also occurred on Rosh Hashanah, in which a ram took Isaac’s place as an offering to God;

as we remember Abraham’s readiness to sacrifice his son, and pray that He should stand by us as we pray for a year of life, health and prosperity.

Rosh Hashanah is the start of the Yamim Nora’im (High Holidays).

At the time of writing, the Holy Day, (Yom Kadosh), of Yom Kippur, is just a week away and the people will gather in synagogues for 25 hours of fasting, prayer and inspiration.

The days in between are known as the 10 Days of Repentance,

or the Ten Days of Return/Days of Awe

and they are an especially propitious time for teshuvah, for returning to the Father.  Before the

Yom Kippur is followed by the joyous holidays of Sukkot and Simchat Torah.

Parallels of Khataah – The Day of Atonement – Yom Kippur

The sacrifice that took away guilt and which was also the guilt, called the Asham. On the day of atonement there was a sacrifice that took away the sins of all Israel. It was a sacrifice of a parallel nature and contains a parallel mystery. It was called the sin offering it was the offering that took away sin.

Messiah was the old covenant/testament mystery revealed in the renewed covenant/testament, it was a shadow of Him as He was and is THE sacrifice that takes away the sin of the world.

In Hebrew the sin offering is called the Khataah. It has a double meaning. One is, sin offering, and it also means the sin itself.

As Messiah is the mystery, He is the Khataah and the same as in the mystery of the Asham.

(Asham = the sacrifice becomes the very thing it removes, in this case sin, more explanation to follow).

Messiah had to become sin itself in order to fulfill scripture. 2Corinthians 5:21 He made Himself who knew no sin to be sin. Matthew 1:21.

Both the sacrifice and the sin are called Khataah meaning that, not only does the sacrifice have the name as the sin but the sin has the name of the sacrifice that removes the sin.

Every sin has or carries the name of the sin offering and if Messiah is the sin offering, the Khataah, then every sin has His name, for every sin has the name of the sacrifice.

So in the Hebrew language every sin we’ve committed, repented of, been forgiven for and is now under His Blood, bears His name, the name of the sacrifice. So therefore He owns our sin. They are no longer ours, they belong to Him now, so we cannot keep them for He is the owner of them His name is on our sin.

Isaiah 53:7 – 11; two Corinthians 5:21

One of the sacrifices offered in the temple was called the Asham.

It was for a specific purpose it removed the guilt of the one who offered it up.

Asham means guilt offering.

However it also means the guilt, which seems to be a paradox, yet they do in fact go together.

How can the guilt and the guilt offering connect in this way?

Because the criteria of the Asham, the guilt offering, was that it could only take away the guilt of the one offering it by first becoming the guilt. A full representation and identification of it. The priests action of laying hands on the Head of the sacrifice was a physical indication of this.

As in Isaiah, he prophesied that Messiah would be crushed, pierced and wounded for our transgressions and sins. However in the Hebrew original text it says more and declares that His life would become an Asham.

 The same word Asham, used also in Leviticus. Here it is referring to the animal sacrifices offered up by the priests to redeem the guilty.

In Isaiah it is not referring to animal sacrifice but of a human life, that of the coming Messiah.

Here he tells us Messiah is the Asham and the Asham is the Messiah. This indicates that not only does He die to remove our guilt but He becomes the guilt itself. Looking at His death, we see both the sacrificial act and the guilt itself. The guilt of our guilt literally nailed to the cross\tree

The conclusion is therefore, if Messiah is the Asham and the Asham is the guilt, when the Asham dies so does all the guilt and shame.

All have died and been removed, gone forever and why He could say these words from the cross,

And very timely the old year is finished too and now on Rosh Hashanah, the traditional start to the holiday feasts, begins with two loaves of round challah, (bread). The round shape symbolizes the cycle of life and the crown with which God is coronated every year as King of the Universe.

To add sweetness to demonstrate the wish for a sweet new year, the challah is dipped in honey before taking the first bite. 

Many people eat pomegranates on Rosh Hashanah, demonstrating their wish for as many merits as the pomegranate has seeds. It is commonly said that the pomegranate has 613 seeds, corresponding to the 613 mitzvahs in the Torah. However, this has yet to be empirically demonstrated by seed counters worldwide!

Rosh Hashanah emphasizes the special relationship between God and us: our dependence upon God as our creator and sustainer, and God’s dependance upon us as the ones who make His presence known and felt in His world.

 Let’s Bless one another with the words

 ‘Leshanah tovah tikateiv veteichateim,’ 

‘May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.’

Are We Blowing Our Own Trumpets?

In the above verses, we see that The Lord is commanding us to have a memorial of blowing trumpets every year on the first day of the seventh month of Tishri,(September), and He calls it a “holy convocation.” 

In other words, a wedding rehearsal!

The offering that we make to Him on this day is an offering by “fire.” 

In other words, our own lives are to be presented to Him as a living sacrifice. We allow the fire of the Ruwach ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit) to purge and purify our lives so that we will be ready for the day when He returns to catch away His bride.

Jesus/Yeshua, is coming for a bride without spot or blemish. We must be purified by going through trials and tribulation in order to be ready for “The Day That No Man Knows!”At the conclusion of the 1,260-day ministry of the “Two Witnesses,” the “seventh angel” will sound (Revelation 11:15) and then the bride shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye at the “last trump.”

Revelation. (Chazown) 11:12-15 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them…And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Master, and of his Mashiyach (Messiah); and he shall reign for ever and ever.Some scholars say there are 3 and some say 4, different trumpet blasts sounded on the Feast of Trumpets. The number “4” represents “the four corners” of the earth (the harvest field) and the “four angels” of the “four winds of heaven.”Chazown (Revelation) 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. These 4 types of trumpet blasts are as follows:

 Trumpet #1.) is called the Tekyiah (T’kiyah) The Tekiah – A pure unbroken sound that calls man to search his heart, forsake his wrong ways, and seek forgiveness through repentance.

It can consist of one note (or blast) or it can be a low note near the fundamental tone of the horn that rises quickly about 3 notes higher. Finally, it can even be finished by a note that is a full octave higher.

Contrary to what is expected, it does not take a great deal of air to blow a shofar. The secret is the vibration of the lips (a minimum of 16 vibrations per second) that creates the vibration of air in the horn. The higher notes are obtained by tightening the lips.

Trumpet #2.)

The second sound is called the Shevarim (Sh’varim) Shebarim – A broken, staccato, trembling sound. It typifies the sorrow that comes to man when he realizes his misconduct and desires to change his ways. It sounds like a man moaning in repentance.

It consists of three blasts that are from the fundamental low to the next note up.Great playing shofars are ones that will produce three notes with relative ease. Some shofars (for various reasons) may produce only two notes and poor ones only one note. Each horn will have its own “voice” and sound in many keys. The texture of the finish, size, length and the diameter of the mouthpiece opening will vary the sound of the horn.

Trumpet #3.)

The Third sound is called the Teruah (T’ruah, teruwah) The Teruw’ah

It is Strong’s word #8643 8643 teruw` ah (ter-oo-aw’); from 7321 (ruah); clamor, i.e. acclamation of joy or a battle-cry; especially clangor of trumpets, as an alarum: KJV- alarm, blow (-ing) (of, the) (trumpets), joy, jubile, loud noise, rejoicing, shout (-ing), (high, joyful) sound (-ing).The same word is used for the “Shout” that is made with the voice! It was the “shout” of the shofars combined with the “shout” of the people that brought down the walls of Jericho. – A wave-like sound of alarm calling upon man to stand by the banner of Elohiym.

Teruah consists of 9 staccato notes in succession. It may be proceeded by a one-note tekyiah and may be finished by accenting the last note. Some will accent it and take it up a third. I believe that the Teruah is the “short blasts of alarm” as specified in Numbers 10:9.

Teruah means “an awakening blast”. A theme associated with Rosh HaShanah is the theme “to awake”. Teruah is also translated as “shout”.

In I Thessalonians 4:16-17 it is written:In I Corinthians 15:51-52 it is written:

“Behold, I show you a mystery, a sud,* we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at THE LAST TRUMP: for the TRUMPET (shofar) shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed”

(sud* = deeper spiritual meaning, explained in an earlier post)

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-rules-of-pardes/ 

Trumpet #4.)  

There is another blast called The Tekiah Gedolah (Great Tekyiah).  – The prolonged, unbroken sound typifying a final appeal to sincere repentance and atonement.

Some consider a fourth sound but it is simply a tekyiah held as long as breath lasts or is appropriate. Some shofar blowers can hold a note for over a minute!This 4th Trumpet is “the last trumpet” sound made on the Feast of Trumpets and this represents “the four angels from the four winds of heaven and the four corners of the earth” as they gather the elect (Matthew 24:29-31). Seven trumpets (shofars) are sounded when God judges the earth during the tribulation. Judaism concerns itself with three shofar calls of God. They are called the first trump, the last trump and the great trump.

The first trump was blown at Mount Sinai. The last trump is blown to signify the resurrection of the dead and may be blown on Rosh HaShanah. The great trump will signify the Second Coming of the Lord and is blown at Yom Kippur.According to other scholars, there are only two trumps, the first at Mount Sinai (Ex 19:19). and the last (great) that is blown by God (Yeshua) Himself at His return on Yom Kippur. (Isaiah 27:13, Zech. 9:14, Matt. 24:29-3I, 1st Thess. 4:16-17, 1st Cor. 15:52).

LISTEN HERE TO THE SOUNDS OF(Sounds take 10 seconds to begin.)

  Once the horn of a ram, the shofar has been cut off and taken through a cleansing process, making it an instrument separated from any purpose other than responding to breath, (ruach), passing through its chamber. We the servants of the King, are maturing in the same process in the school of the Holy Spirit. (Ruach HaKodesh)From where specifically does the phrase last trump come?

In Judaism there are three recognized shofarim or ram’s horn trumpets.

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 chapter 10.

The first trump and the last trump relate to the two horns of a particular Ram.According to Jewish tradition the Ram was caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah when Abraham was ready to slay Isaac and offer him up as a burnt offering.

This ram became the substitute and was sacrificed in place of Isaac, even as Yeshua the Messiah became the substitute for us and provided Life for us through His death.

In Pirke deR’Eliezer, (a rabbinic work,) it was said the left Horn, (first- trump), was blown on Mount Sinai when the Torah was given and it’s right horn, (the last trump), will be blown to herald the coming Messiah/Moshiach.The Midrash, (Hebrew Commentary), claims that the two horns of the ram became the two trumpets, which in Hebrew is, the shofarot of God.

  The right horn was larger than the left, and thus concerning the days of Moshicah it is written,’on that day, a great shofar will be blown.’ (Tz’enah Urenah)Was not the ram burnt as a burnt offering together with its horns, skin and flesh? So how are there horns?

The answer is that undoubtedly God performed a miracle and created a new ram out of the ashes. The Ram was resurrected!Some believers have suggested that it is a reference to a prophetic vision. Perhaps what is being implied is that when Abraham looked up, he saw not only this ram caught in the thicket, but he saw a future sacrifice, one that would come long after his day.

“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.” (John 8:5-6)

What did Abraham see? Perhaps he saw the Lamb provided by God.

Was this particular ram created for this purpose since the first days of creation? In other words, Isaac’s ram was prepared for sacrifice since the foundation of the world. In the same way, Peter described the Master as “a lamb without blemish or defect, chosen before the creation of the world.” (1st Peter 1:19-20)

THE THREE TRUMPETS (SHOFARIM) OF GOD

The three great trumpets (shofarim) that mark MAJOR events in the redemptive plan of God are associated with days in the Biblical calendar. The FIRST TRUMP is associated with and was seen as being blown by God on the feast of Shavuot, (Pentecost), when God gave the Torah at Mount Sinai.

In Exodus (Shemot) 19:18-19 it is written:”And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. And when the voice of the TRUMPET sounded LONG and waxed LOUDER and LOUDER, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice” Patterns of sound, released from this instrument in faith and understanding and at the direction of the Holy Spirit, is one of the most powerful agents of change on the planet. Spiritual forces in the heavens understand fully and must respond to that sound. Portals/windows and doors in the heavens are opened and earthly atmosphere becomes charged with the power of the Most High.Spiritual forces and obstacles resisting His kingdom are removed, the heavens shift, walls fall down, and His people move forward to possess their inheritance and fulfill their destiny. All of creation longs for the mature ones of God to awaken and appropriate the sound of the victory won. נִצָּחוֹן (nee-tsah-KHOHN) is a victory.


 
Netzah is the Hebrew word for victory, or endurance; it represents God’s active grace in the world. The name YHVH Tza’va’ot is associated with Netzah.

The trumpets of Israel announced the coming of kings and kingdoms, the approaching of armies. So it is prophesied that when the trumpet sounds, the kingdom of God will come.

The trumpets called the people of Israel to gather before God. So it is prophesied that at the sound of the trumpet, God’s people will be gathered up to His presence.The sound of the trumpet was a wake-up call. So it is foretold that when the trumpets sound, the dead in Messiah will be awoken.

Lastly it was the sound of the trumpet that announced the beginning of the kings reign. So it is foretold that when the trumpet sounds, the reign of the King will begin, the kingdom of this world will become the kingdom of the Lord.The Feast of Trumpets/Yom Teruah/Rosh HaShanah and the Holy days of autumn are just as much a part of the Re-New-ed Covenant, as are the Holy days of spring.

They tell us that our faith, is not only in what was, but is in what is yet to come, as in Messiah. We live FROM salvation and yet, TO redemption, and we are above all, a people of hope. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God and the perishable cannot inherit the imperishable but there is a mystery awaiting us all….. at the sound of the last shofar in the twinkling of an eye the dead will be raised and transformed into immortal bodies. Techiyat ha-metim. When this happens death itself will be swallowed up in victory. Since Jesus our Lord delivered us from the curse of the laws verdict against us, on account of God’s love and grace; then we can rejoice that love is stronger than death. The ultimate victory over the ravages of sin will forever be reversed on behalf of Jesus our Lord and Redeemer.Your kingdom must now come on earth as it is in heaven.

The very last time that the word “trumpet” is mentioned in scripture is in Revelation 9:14 and it is when the four angels from the four winds of heaven are about to be loosed to gather the bride (the elect).This trumpet is about redemption! The first time God who called Himself, I AM / YHWH / Yaweh (YaHuWaH) established covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15:9, a three-year old ram was killed (symbolic of the three year ministry of Messiah). When Abraham offered up his son Yitzchaq (Isaac) to I AM / Yaweh / YaHuWaH, a ram was seen with his horns “caught” in the thicket as a substitute offering. so the “trumpet” or the “ram’s horn” is prophetically connected to covenant, redemption, freedom and deliverance!The term, ‘blowing our own trumpet’, is used in modern vernacular, as telling everyone proudly about your own achievements in a boastful way.

This is the world’s way, not the Lord’s Way.However as believers in Jesus our Messiah, it is indeed time to ‘blow our own trumpets’ …and in this instance it’s OK!… for the King is Coming!
