Yom Teruah: This week we celebrate a “day of blowing” the Shofar or shouting. It is a day that is most commonly referred to as Rosh Hashanah “head of the year” the Jewish new year. It is also known as the head of years because it is believed that the world was created on this day, and so it is a new creation of years in that sense.
There are many other names for this day of celebration as well, all equally important in understanding the meaning and importance of this Moed “fixed or appointed time” of HaShem. It is exciting to view this and all the festivals of Adonai as a dress rehearsal of what is to take place on those very days in the future. It is an opportunity to prepare ourselves for the roles we play in prophesy and the kingdom.
As we hear the sound of the shofar and the staccato shouts of the people we remember our Elohim, and He remembers us as we enter into the 10 days of awe. He will remember you and write your name unto His Sefer Zikkaron (Book of Remembrance) (Mal. 3:16-18).
This day is also known as:
The Day of the Awakening Blast
The Time of Yacob’s trouble (Yermiyahu 30:7 – Zeph.1:14-16a)
Yom Kiddushin – Wedding of Mashiach
Feast of the Born again
Yom Ha’Kiseh – Hidden day
Yom Ha’Din – Day of Judgement
And my favorite Yom Ha’Meleck ~ Coronation day of the kings of Israel, Psalm 8:4-6 Son of Man, Heb.2:9 Yeshua Lower than Angels crowned with glory.
May you be abundantly blessed, as you celebrate this Yom Teruah sounding the 100 blasts on the Shofar, looking forward to the coming of our King. He is the King of Kings, the King over all the kings of the earth, and everything created! (see Festivals and Events for upcoming fall festivals)
HaRuach V’Kallah Om’riym Bo – The spirit and the Bride say Come. We say may it be in our day and in our times Mashiach.
