Yom Teruah/Day of the great awakening blast

Before the Seventh Hebrew Scriptural month, is the Sixth Hebrew Scriptural Month.
The Sixth month is also called the month of Elul since Babylonian exile; a time of preparation.

"And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, 'Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.'" (Rev 4:1)

We are right now nearing the end of the Sixth month on the Scriptural (biblical) calendar, also called the month of Elul since the Babylonian exile. It is the month preceding the final fall Feasts in the Seventh month of YHVH’s calendar. Every morning during the month of Elul, the Sixth month, the shofar is sounded in the synagogues around the world. The purpose is to ''wake people up'' for what is ahead.

THEN on the first day of the Seventh Hebrew (Biblical) month, the last shofar, the last trumpet is sounded. It is Yom Teruah.

1Co 15:50 And this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood is unable to inherit the reign of Elohim, neither does corruption inherit incorruption. 1Co 15:51 See, I speak a secret to you: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1Co 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1Co 15:53 For this corruptible has to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality. 1Co 15:54 And when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall come to be the word that has been written, “Death is swallowed up in overcoming.”
1Co 15:55 “O Death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your overcoming?” 1Co 15:56 And the sting of death is the sin, and the power of the sin is the Torah. 1Co 15:57 But thanks to Elohim who gives us the overcoming through our Master יהושע Messiah. 1Co 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Master, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Master.

One of the extra Scriptural names of Yom Teruah is the “Wedding of the Messiah”. The month of Elul is symbolically a time of preparation for the wedding supper of the Lamb (which will take place during Sukkot). This is a time to draw near to Him as never before.

It was most likely during the month of Elul that the ministry of Yochanan (John) the Baptist reached its peak. Possibly Yahshua was baptized on Elul 1 and he ended his 40 day fast on Yom HaKippurim. This is also the time that according to tradition, Moshe fasted 40 days the second time. It was on Yom HaKippurim (also known as Yom Kippur) that the Jubilee Year was announced every fifty years as stated in Vayiqra/Lev 25:8-10,
"Count off seven sabbaths of years — seven times seven years — so that the seven sabbaths of years amount to a period of forty-nine years. Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) sound the trumpet throughout your land. Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each one of you is to return to his family property and each to his own clan."

We read in Luke 4 what happened at the end of Yahshua's forty day fast (the fast possibly ended at Yom Kippur):
"When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time. Yahshua returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area. He taught in their synagogues, being esteemed by all. He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the scroll, and found the place where it was written, 'The Spirit of YHVH is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of YHVH.' He closed the scroll, gave it back to the shammash, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began to tell them, 'Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.'" (Lk 4:13-21)

“The acceptable year of YHVH” speaks of a Jubilee year.

A Season of Repentance and Intimacy
Elul (the month that is drawing to an end now) is the month of preparation to meet the King and the Bridegroom. One of the interpretations of the Hebrew name Elul is that it stands for "Ani l'dodi, v'dodi li" "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine." (SS 6:3 NKJV) It is a time to seek intimacy with the Bridegroom to be sheltered in his love. Tehillim/Psalm 27 is read each morning.
This is specifically relevant in view of the fact that prophetically it is during the “last week” (last seven years of great tribulation) of Elul, before Yom Teruah, that the anti-messiah will be revealed. It says in Matthew 24:29-31, “And immediately after the distress[1] of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Footnote:1Or pressure.“And then the sign of the Son of Aḏam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem. “And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other”.
It is in preparation for "the distress of those days" that Tehilllim/Psalm 27 is proclaimed each morning during the month of Elul. It is most appropriate.

Tehillim/Psa 27:1 יהוה is my light and my deliverance; Whom should I fear? יהוה is the refuge of my life; Whom should I dread?
Psa 27:2 When evil-doers come against me To eat up my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, They shall stumble and fall.
Psa 27:3 Though an army encamps against me, My heart does not fear; Though battle comes up against me, Even then I would be trusting.
Psa 27:4 One matter I asked of יהוה – this I seek: To dwell in the House of יהוה All the days of my life, To see the pleasantness of יהוה, And to inquire in His Hĕḵal.
Psa 27:5 For in the day of evil He hides me in His booth; In the covering of His Tent He hides me; On a rock He raises me up.
Psa 27:6 And now my head is lifted up above my enemies all around me; And I offer in His Tent with shouts of joy; I sing, yea, I sing praises to יהוה.
Psa 27:7 Hear, O יהוה, when I cry with my voice! And show me favour, and answer me.
Psa 27:8 To my heart You have said, “Seek My face.” Your face, יהוה, I seek.
Psa 27:9 Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in displeasure; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O Elohim of my deliverance.
Psa 27:10 When my father and my mother have forsaken me, Then יהוה does take me in.
Psa 27:11 Teach me Your way, O יהוה, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
Psa 27:12 Do not give me over To the desire of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And they breathe out cruelty to me.
Psa 27:13 What if I had not believed To see the goodness of יהוה In the land of the living!
Psa 27:14 Wait on יהוה, be strong, And let Him strengthen your heart! Wait, I say, on יהוה!
"Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. 'We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of Elohim,' they said." (Ac 14:21-22) Let us not be afraid, but let us also be prepared for what is coming. In His presence is fullness of joy. Remember "in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in his dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock." (Ps 27:5)

The Sound of the Shofar
The blowing of the shofar is a wakeup call to repent and draw near to our Elohim. It is a reminder of the substitute offering, the ram caught in a thicket that Abraham saw, which saved the life of Yitschaq/Isaac by taking his place. It is the sound of salvation pointing to the Son – the Messiah.
There has been some debate among rabbinical authorities as to the exact sound of the shofar blasts. 

The Talmud describes three possibilities:

“One long blast commonly referred to as Tekiah.
Three medium wailing sounds- what we commonly refer to as shevarim.
Nine very short, staccato blasts - what we commonly refer to as teruah.

 “To satisfy all of the above opinions, the Rabbis established that the three sets of tekios be blown in three differ­ent ways, alternating the teruah sound in each set. 

Thus we blow tekiah shevarim-teruah tekiah (TaSHRaT) three times; 
tekiah shevarim tekiah (TaSHaT) three times; 
and tekiah teruah tekiah (TaRaT) three times. All together that adds up to thirty different blasts: eighteen tekios, three shevarim-teruahs, three shevarim and three teruahs.


This is the minimum number of blasts that every adult male is required to hear on [Yom Teruah] according to Jewish law. These are called tekios d’myushav, since the congregation is permitted to sit while they are being blown. In practice, however, it is almost universally accepted to stand during these tekios” (ibid.). According to some rabbinic authorities, the teruah can consist simply of nine quick blasts in short succession (http://www.aish.com/hhRosh/hhRoshDefault/Symbol­ism_of_the_Shofar.asp).

So, although Torah doesn’t give the exact blowing sounds of the shofar or the sliver trumpet, there are four different sounds which are in place throughout all the ages.
  1. Tekiah -- one long, straight blast    
  2. Shevarim -- three medium, wailing sounds    
  3. Teruah -- 9 quick blasts in short succession
  4. Tekiah gadol--"the great Tekiah," a single unbroken blast, held as long as possible. 
We as grafted-in x gentiles who are now part of the commonwealth of Yisrael do not HAVE to obey the Jewish halacha (the walking out of the commandments) concerning these exact blasts on the day of Yom Teruah (the great awakening blast / also speak of great noise), but because Yom Teruah is about the awakening sound of which the Silver Trumpets and Shofars are playing a major part, it is a tradition that many Messianic believers like to adapt. We also learnt the importance of the Silver trumpets and the Shofars in connection with the end time through the prophets: Yeshayahu/Isa 27:13  And in that day it shall be that a great horn is blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Ashshur and the outcasts in the land of Mitsrayim shall come, and shall worship יהוה on the set-apart mountain, in Yerushalayim. Yirmeyahu/Jer 6:17  “And I raised up watchmen over you, and said, ‘Listen to the sound of the ram’s horn!’ But they said, ‘We do not listen.’ Joe 2:1  Blow a ram’s horn in Tsiyon, and sound an alarm in My set-apart mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the earth tremble, for the day of יהוה is coming, for it is near”. Zep 1:16  a day of ram’s horn and alarm – against the walled cities and against the corner towers.
Yahshua said in Mat 24:31  “And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Luke 21:25-28, Then in 1Co 14:8 For indeed, if the trumpet makes an indistinct sound, who shall prepare himself for battle? 1Co 15:52  in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1. Tekiah--the long, straight shofar blast--is the sound of the King's coronation, to proclaim that YHVH is King. It is a pure, long and unbroken sound that calls man to search his heart, forsake his wrong ways, and seek forgiveness through repentance. “[Yom Teruah] is the day of appreciating who [YHVH] is. We then internalize that understanding so that it becomes a living, practical part of our everyday reality. [YHVH] is all-powerful. [YHVH] is the Creator. [YHVH] is the Sustainer. [YHVH] is the Supervi­sor. In short, [YHVH] is King of the Universe. The object of [Yom Teruah] is to crown [YHVH] as our King. Tekiah—the long, straight shofar blast—is the sound of the King’s coronation. In the Garden of Eden, Adam’s first act was to proclaim [YHVH] as King. And now, the shofar proclaims to ourselves and to the world: [YHVH] is our King. We set our values straight and return to the reality of [YHVH] as the One Who runs the world … guiding history, moving mountains, and caring for each and every human being individually and personally”
2. Shevarim--three medium, wailing blasts--is the sobbing cry of a heart--yearning to connect, crying out to Elohim from the depths of the soul.
The Hebrew word shevar (rca; [Strong’s H7665] means to break [in pieces]). The shevarim shofar call is a broken, trembling sound. It typifies the sorrow that comes to man when he re­alizes his misconduct and desires to change his ways. This shofar blast consists of three medium wailing sounds varying from low to a high note not unlike some of our modern sirens. It symbolizes the sob­bing cry/ heart of the broken and penitent person yearning to connect, to grow, to achieve. Every person has the ability to change and be great. This can be accomplished much faster than you ever dreamed of. The key is to pray from the bottom of your heart and ask YHVH in the name of Yahshua for the ability to become great. Don’t let yourself be constrained by the past. You know you have enormous potential. At the moment the shofar is blown, we cry out to YHVH from the depths of our soul. This is the moment—when our souls stand before the Almighty without any barriers—that we can truly let go.
3. The Teruah sound—

Nine quick blasts in short succession--resembles an alarm clock, arousing us from our spiritual slumber. Teruah (Strong’s H8643): This word is found in Bemidbar/Numbers 10:5 and means alarm, signal, sound of tempest, shout or blast of war, battle cry, and alarm of joy. This shofar call was used to call Yisrael/Israel to arms against an enemy attacker. In Vayiqra/Leviticus 25:9, we see that the shofar would be blown to signal the ar­rival of the jubilee year. It is accepted that this shofar would make the teruah sound. This signal was not to be used when the congregation was gathered together to worship YHVH (Bemidbar/Num. 10:7).  

It is also possible that the shofar sound for the Jubilee was a long loud shofar, a Tekiah Gadol.
4. The Tekia Gedolah -- "the great Tekiah," a single unbroken blast, held as long as possible. This last shofar blast blown on Yom Teruah is very likely portraying symbolically that of which Shaul/Paul refers to as the “last trumpet (shofar)” in 1 Corinthians 15:52 signalling the resurrection of the righteous dead to meet Yahshua in the air at his second coming (see also 1 Thes. 4:16). If this understanding is correct, then this same shofar blast would correspond to the “great sound of the shofar” in Matthew 24:31 when Yahshua will send his angels to “gather the elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” This would also correspond to the seventh and final trumpet of the Seven Trumpets (shofars) of Revelation 8–11, the last of which announces the return of Yahshua and the resurrection of the righteous dead to meet Yahshua in the air (Rev. 11:15–18).  (There is also the Shofar/trumpet sound of the Jubilee year that was sounded on a Yom HaKippurim. So in the year that Yahshua comes back, there might also be a great sound of the Trumpet/Shofar on that Yom HaKippurim after His coming on the clouds.)

Here you can listen to a combination of all four sounds http://www.biblicalgallery.com/images_templ/combination.au    
  
Yahshua said, "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great esteem. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." (Lk 21:25-28)
Now is the time to be watching and waiting, seeking the face of the Eternal. Now is the time to repent of any known sin and seek intimacy with our Bridegroom in order to know him. Now is the time to intercede for Yerushalayim, Yisrael and the nations! Now is the time to call out. It is time to hear the sound of the shofar (the ram’s horn) and the sound of the trumpet (the silver trumpets) calling us back to Elohim, the Mighty One of Israel.

Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And he who hears, let him say, “Come!” And he who thirsts, come! And he who desires it, take the water of life without paying!
Rev 22:20 He that bears witness of these matters says, “Yes, I am coming speedily.” Amĕn. Yes, come, Master יהושע!
Rev 22:21 The favour of our Master יהושע Messiah be with the set-apart ones. Amĕn.

Joe 3:16 And יהוה shall roar from Tsiyon, and give forth His voice from Yerushalayim. And the heavens and earth shall shake, but יהוה shall be a refuge for His people, and a stronghold for the children of Yisra’ĕl. Joe 3:17 “Then you shall know that I am יהוה your Elohim, dwelling in Tsiyon, My set-apart mountain1. And Yerushalayim shall be set-apart, and foreigners shall not pass through her again. Footnote: 1See v. 21 and Isa. 24:23.
 

TWELVE REASONS FOR the SHOFARS and silver trumpets to be BLOWN 

•       1. YHVH’s Kingship (Also for the coronation of a king). When we hear the shofar we are to remember YHVH’s Kingship. In ancient Israel a new king's reign was announced with the shofar.  
•       2. To be YHVH's worshipers. "Praise Him with the shofar." Ps 150. When we hear the shofar we are to remember to be YHVH's worshipers. YHVH our Elohim seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. The shofar heads the list of instruments used to worship YHVH, as it is written: "Praise Him with the shofar.
•       3. Need to repent - When we hear the shofar we are to remember our need to repent.  "Blow a shofar in Tzion.. consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly. Return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, weeping and mourning, and rend your heart and not your garments." (Yoel 2:1,12-15)
•       4. When we hear the shofar we are to remember the faithfulness of the Patriarchs. The ram's horn reminds us of the "Akedah," the binding and Abraham's intended offering of Yitschaq. Because of this act of faith, Elohim promised to bless the Hebrew people and give us victory over all of our enemies. The shofar is a reminder of our covenant with YHVH because of Abraham, Yitschaq and Ya’akov, and that the people of Yisrael are loved by YHVH, our Elohim for the sake of the Patriarchs.
•       5. When we hear the shofar we are to remember the binding of Messiah Yahshua, the fulfillment of the “Akedah”. Abraham prophesied that Elohim would provide for Himself the Lamb for the burnt offering. Yahshua was offered up as the Lamb of Elohim who takes away the sin of the world on that same spot two thousand years later.
•       6. When we hear the shofar we are to remember the heavenly shofar that accompanied the revelation of the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. The shofar reminds us that all Scripture is divinely inspired by YHVH and we are to pay attention to every word that comes from the mouth of YHVH.
•       7. WARNING - When we hear the shofar we are to remember the words of the prophets, as it is written: "I set watchmen over you saying, 'listen to the sound of the shofar.'"  (Yirmeyahu/Jer 6:17) . Prophets are like a shofar which warn of danger. Israel was judged for ignoring the prophets. We must pay attention to the prophets of Israel, especially Messiah Yahshua, Israel's greatest prophet.
•       8. JUDGEMENT - When we hear the shofar we are to remember that we are in state of war. "Near is the great day of YHVH, near and coming very quickly... a day of shofar and battle cry."(Zep 1:14 - 16)
We are in the middle of a raging battle for the souls of human beings. Satan and his fallen angels are fighting for people to share their destiny. Elohim and Messiah are fighting for people to share Yahshua's destiny.                                                          
•       9. REMEMBER THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE AND THE REBUILDING. When we hear the shofar we are to remember the eventual end of all warfare. The shofar was blown at the end of battle. The shofar is a reminder that final victory is ahead. When Messiah returns, He will end all wars, battles, and injustice, and usher in a thousand years of shalom.           
•       10. When we hear the shofar we are to remember the RESURRECTION that will take place at Messiah's return.  
  ICor 15:51-52 “See, I speak a secret to you: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed."
1Th 4:16 Because the Master Himself shall come down from heaven with a shout, with the voice of a chief messenger, and with the trumpet of Elohim, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first.
1Th 4:17 Then we, the living who are left over, shall be caught away together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air – and so we shall always be with the Master. "
•       11. INGATHERING - When we hear the shofar we are to be reminded of the Jewish people (the House of Yahuda/Judah) and all Yisrael’s restoration to the Land of Yisrael. Messiah Yahshua will gather all of Yisrael's exiles. "You will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel. It will come about also in that day that a great shofar will be blown."
•       12. Finally, when we sound the shofar we are asking Elohim to remember us. The sounding of the shofar is like a prayer that ascends to Elohim's throne saying,

"O YHVH, our Elohim and Elohim of our fathers, may the sound of our shofar pierce our hearts and ascend before Your throne. Remember Your covenants, forgive us, save us, and deliver us in the Name of Yahshua, and may we be ready for the speedy return of our Bridegroom, the Redeemer and Sovereign, Yahshua the Messiah!"

    BLESSING FOR HEARING THE SHOFAR
     Baruch Atah YHVH Eloheinu  Melech ha-olam, ah-sher  kid-shah-nu 
     b'mitz-voh-tav v'tzi-vah-nu  lish-moh-ah  kol shofar.
 
   Blessed are You O YHVH our Elohim, King of the universe, who has set us apart
   by Your commandments and commanded us to hear the sounding of the shofar.
 
Yom Teruah - The Feast of Trumpets/ Feast of Shofars/Feast of the great awakening blast.

According to the Torah commandment, this day should be a one-day Festival, an appointment with YHVH. It is to be a Shabbaton (a day of rest, but making of food is allowed). Should it fall on a Weekly Shabbat, then even the making of food is not allowed on the day itself, because a Weekly Shabbat is a “Shabbat Shabbaton” (Complete day of rest - NO work is allowed). A set apart meeting is assigned to this day of Teruah. (Vayiqra/Lev 23:24)


The word Teruah
In the Torah commandment, YHVH does not give a reason for celebrating the day, but inherent in the wording of the Commandment, is the way that we are to celebrate it. The Hebrew noun for 'blowing of trumpets' is “te-ru-ah” and the Interlinear translates it as, 'trumpet blast’.
The Theological Wordbook notes that 'The primary meaning of the word Teruah is 'to raise a noise' by shouting or with an instrument, especially a horn (Num. 10:7)' (referring to the silver trumpets), 'or the traditional ram's horn, the 'shofar' (Yehoshua/Josh 6:5 “And it shall be, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the horn, that all the people shout with a great shout. And the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.”).
The Wordbook goes on to share that our noun, teruah can have 'four distinct' meanings. All of them revolve around the sound made by either a trumpet, a shofar, a human voice or a combination of the three.
So, the word “teruah” translated as 'trumpets' can also mean the breath one uses to shout very loud, as in battle, as in victory, as in blowing the shofar or the trumpet. The concept of joy mingled with this, what the Day is all about, is again illustrated for us with King David shouting, rejoicing, dancing and swirling, as the Ark of the Covenant enters Yerushalayim/Jerusalem:

 2nd Sam. 6:15-16: 'So David and all the House of Israel brought up the Ark of Yahveh with shouting (teruah), and with the sound of the trumpet (shofar). Then it happened as the Ark of Yahveh came into the City of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul, looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahveh, and she despised him in her heart.'

In this verse, the word for 'shouting' is literally, 'teruah' and the word for 'the sound of the trumpet' should be translated, 'the sound of the shofar' as that is the Hebrew word used there. Can you imagine the joy and excitement that King David and all Yisrael demonstrated that day? This begins to reveal to us the way or attitude in which the Day is to be celebrated. Another place where this account is recorded has other instruments accompanying that celebration:

1st Chron. 15:28: 'So all Israel brought up the Ark of the Covenant of Yahveh with great shouting (teruah), and with the sound of the shofar and trumpets, cymbals, lyre and harp.'
The great rejoicing that we see King David and the entire House of Yisrael doing before YHVH, is the essence of what the Feast is all about. For us today, we are called to proclaim how grateful we are for what He has done for us, by sending the Messiah Yahshua (salvation of Yah) to be our Mediator. There can be Proclamations, Joy and Shouting, the Blasting of shofars and trumpets and other musical instruments, singing and dancing and of course, food too!

Let us look now at the actual Torah commandment as given in the different Books:
Vayiqra/Lev 23:24 And YHVH spoke to Mosheh (Moses) saying, speak to the sons of Yisrael (Israel) saying, in the Seventh month on the first day of the month ( cdj=chodesh), you shall have a rest ( /wtBv = Shabbaton ), a reminder/memorial ( /wrKz=Zikaron) by blowing of shofars (huwrt=Teruah - clanger of trumpets as an alarm, battle cry, acclamation of joy/high joyful sound, loud noise, etc,), a set apart (vdq= kodesh)  convocation ( ar qm = Miqra)  (vdq  ar qm  huwrt  /wrKz).  You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to YHVH.
This passage in Vayiqra/Lev. 23:23-24 could also be translated: 'Speak to the Sons of Israel, saying, 'In the seventh month on the First Day of the month, you must have a Sabbath of Living Remembrance with tremendous shouting of Joy Unspeakable!, the blasting of trumpets and shofars in a set apart assembly.'

Bemidbar/Num. 29:1-2: 'Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you must also have a set apart convocation. You must do no occupational work. It will be to you a day ( -Yom)of blowing the Shofars ( huwrt = Teruah)  (T’ruah - a day of Joy Unspeakable etc). You shall offer a Burnt Offering as a sweet aroma to YHVH: one bull, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old without defect.

Yom Teruah is also the Rosh Chodesh (New moon/ new month) of the Seventh month. So it is also the first day of the Seventh Scriptural month on the Eternal’s calendar
This is the Torah commandment concerning a Rosh Chodesh (the new moon/new month):
Bemidbar/Num. 10:10 “And in the day of your gladness, and in your ( מועד ) appointed times , and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets (hrxxj = Chatzotzerah - Referring to the silver trumpets) over your burnt offerings and over your peace offerings. And they shall be a remembrance for you before your Elohim. I am יהוה your Elohim.” It was mainly the priests that blew the silver trumpets and the rest blew the ram’s horns.  So the silver trumpets that YHVH gave instruction about in Bemidbar/Numbers 10, were to be blown by the Priests: Num 10:8  “And the sons of Aharon, the priests, blow with the trumpets. And it shall be to you for a law forever throughout your generations.

We can see in Tehillim/Ps 81:3 that the ram’s horns were also blowing at the Rosh Chodesh (the new moon/new month).

Tehillim/Psa 81:3 Blow the ( rpwv ) – “shofar”  (which is translated in English as ram’s horn or trumpet) at the time of the New Moon  (cdj) –“chodesh” ……..” We see that in the original, the word “Shofar” is used here for blowing at Rosh Chodesh and not “Chatzotzerah”. So it wasn’t only the silver trumpets that were blown.Trumpets and shofars (ram’s horns- kosher horns like Kudu horns, also used since ancient times) are used interchangeably in Scripture to relate to the sound of  'teruah.' So if we have sliver trumpets too to blow with the Shofars on a Rosh Chodesh and the Rosh Chodesh of Yom Teruah then it is wonderfull but if not then it is absolutely in order to blow with the shofars (rams’horns and also Kudu horns - even other horns) alone.
Like we have seen now, the different meanings of Teruah revolve around the sound made by either a trumpet, a shofar, a human voice or a combination of the three.
The Feast of Yom Teruah in connection with the End Time;


Yahshua will come on the clouds
Yom Teruah clearly speaks of end-time events that are yet to occur. It also speaks of a time when Believers in Yahshua must prepare themselves for his return. This day has neither been fulfilled (done away with) nor is irrelevant to the modern Believer.
"It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." (Lk 12: 37-40)

Shaul/Paul explains in Colossians 2:16-17 that the Feasts of YHVH "are a shadow of things to come." The blowing of the trumpets and or the shofar, on the Feast of Trumpets, is a shadow pointing to the blowing of the trumpet and the shofar at the return of the Messiah,

"For the Master himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of Elohim, and the dead in Messiah will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air. And so we will be with the Master forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words." (1 Th 4:16-18)

The Messiah Yahshua fulfilled in exact detail all 3 Spring Feasts/Appointments of YHVH at his first coming two thousand years ago. They were: (Pesach (Passover), (Omer Resheet (First fruits) which is a Mitzvah and not a Feast- no Shabbaton or set apart meeting is ascribed to this day- only offerings of which the wave of the sheaves of the First fruits of the Barley was most important while the Temple was still standing. But this day is important in that it speaks of Yahshua who is the First Fruits of the Resurrection), Chah HaMatzah (Unleavened Bread) and Shavuot (called Pentecost which is a transliteration from the Greek word Pentecoste)[Pesach and Unleavened Bread can be seen in unity]). Yahshua will in detail fulfill the four remaining Fall Feasts (Yom Teruah, Yom HaKippurim, Sukkot and Shemeni Atzereth) at his return, beginning with Yom Teruah/the Feast of Trumpets. It is so important for us to learn about these Feasts and rehearse them year after year in order to be prepared and ready for the coming of the Messiah! In the word Miqra HaKodesh (set apart meeting) is also the meaning of “to rehearse”. The Father has placed His Feasts (Chaggim), also called Appointed Times (Moadim) in His Word for a reason. It portrays so beautifully the redemption plan of YHVH. Yahshua has clearly told us, "Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law (Torah) of Moshe, the Prophets and the Tehillim (Psalms)." (Lk 24:44)

The parallels with the names and meanings that the Rabbis assigned to this Day of Teruah
When you study what the Jewish rabbis teach about Yom Teruah, it is amazing to see how exactly it lines up with what the Apostles have written about Yahshua's second coming in the Second writings (the renewed Covenant Scriptures what we called New Testament in the church). The Scriptures truly is ONE book with ONE message from cover to cover. Here are some of the things that the rabbis teach about Yom Teruah. We have added the Spiritual, Messianic implications in bold letters.

1. Firstly, the primary name for this Feast: The Feast of Trumpets is first of all called Yom Teruah because the Eternal said that it must be a Day (Yom) of Teruah, which can be translated as "The Day of the Awakening Blast"/ “The day of the alarm signal” – the day when the shofar and the silver trumpet are blown in order to wake up those who are asleep spiritually. Messianic Implication: it is the day of the first resurrection. Paul wrote, "For the Master himself will come down from heaven, …with the trumpet call of Elohim, and the dead in Messiah will rise." (I Thes 4:16). What a day of trumpet blast that will be!

2. Secondly, Yom Teruah is called Yom HaZikaron, a "Day of Remembrance." day of memorial – when one remembers the Eternal and the Eternal remembers us. Implication: This is also a day to remind ourselves of the day when our Messiah will come in the Name and authority of His Father. Paul wrote concerning the truth that Yahshua is coming back, "Therefore encourage each other with these words." We need to celebrate Yom Teruah to remind ourselves of this great day. It is to be a set apart day before YHVH, set apart for Him as a day of remembrance, "a set apart assembly commemorated with trumpet/shofar blasts."

3. Thirdly, Yom Teruah is called Yom HaDin, the "Day of Judgment."– day of judgment – when the Eternal evaluates all the people on the earth and writes down in different books what will happen during the coming year. (Judaism). Implication: Paul said in Acts 17:31, "For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed." He explained further in 2 Thess 1:6-7, "Elohim is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Master Yahshua is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful messengers."
The judgments that will be poured out upon the earth when Yahshua returns (especially on the Day of YHVH), must not be confused with the Great Tribulation, which is Satan's wrath against YHVH's people. If we are right with the Eternal Father we will certainly escape His wrath on the Day of YHVH, but we have never been promised to escape persecution and tribulation from the devil, only that we will be strengthened to go through it and be over comers. Many confuse the wrath of YHVH with the wrath of Satan, but we must not do that.

4. Fourthly, Yom Teruah is called Yom HaKeseh "The Hidden Day."– the hidden day – which no one can know 100% FOR SURE ahead of time when it will occur since it is dependent upon when the new moon is visible from Yerushalayim. Implication: It is the only Feast that is celebrated on the first day of a month. The Scriptural months always begin with a new moon (“rosh chodesh”- rosh chodesh at the same time means “new month”). In ancient times they watched the heavens to look for the first sign of the new moon. They were not 100% certain when that would be. Yahshua said about the day of his coming, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the messengers in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. …Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Master will come." (Matt 24:36,42)

5. Fifthly, Yom Teruah is called the Last Trumpet. Implication: Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed."

In the here and now, the shofar is no longer blown during the 10 days from Yom Teruah until on the Day of Atonement (Yom HaKippurim). The Feast is called the Last Trumpet, or the Last Shofar, for two reasons. First of all, during the sixth month the shofar has been blown every morning in the synagogues to wake people up and prepare them, and then the final shofar is blown on Yom Teruah. Then there will be no more shofar blown until the Day of Atonement (Yom Ha Kippurim) when a great long blow will be blown again.

Secondly, the rabbis teach that there are only two times in the Scriptures when the Eternal Himself blows the shofar. The first time was at Sinai during Shavuot, when the Torah was given. The second and last time will be when Messiah comes according to Zechariah 9:14-15, "Then YHVH will appear over them; his arrow will flash like lightning. The Sovereign YHVH will sound the trumpet; he will march in the storms of the south, and YHVH Almighty will shield them."(Many Messianic believers believe that Yahshua comes on the clouds with the “last trumpet” and this “long great” shofar with Yom Kippur will be when Messiah’s feet will touch the Mount of Olives.)

6. Sixthly, Yom Teruah is called the Wedding of the Messiah. It is the final part of the wedding ceremony, the consummation of the marriage called "the Lakach" when the Bridegroom takes us to his side to be with him forever. Implication: (There is difference of interpretation amongst Messianic believers about the consummation that might take place with the Yom Kippur after Yahshua has come with Yom Teruah. Yom Teruah will be the wedding ceremony and then the consummation takes place with the Yom Kippur part and the Marriage supper and Feast, with Sukkot. This is all open for speculation at this point in time.) 

We know that the “Wedding of Messiah” is in line with the teaching of the New Covenant writings. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." (Yochanan/Jn 14:3) All the Fall Feasts (Fall as in the fall of Yisrael) are connected with the second coming of the Master Yahshua. By the time of the first Sukkot/the Feast of Booths that will take place in the Millennium, we will then celebrate the wedding supper of the Lamb for a thousand years in physical Yerushalayim/Jerusalem.

Natan Lawrence: Moshe brought down from Mount Sinai the second set of stone tablets containing the Ten Words/Statements (“Commandments”) to replace the ones that had been broken earlier at the golden calf incident. After this, Israel remained faithful to YHVH and never again built and worshipped a golden calf until the time of King Jeroboam hundreds of years later. Similarly, on the day of Shavuot/(Pentecost in Greek) in the first century the Torah of YHVH was written into the hearts of the Messianic believers at that time by the “pen” of the Spirit of YHVH, yet well before the middle of the second century the Called out assembly/ Body of Messiah (called the “church”) had begun to go apostate, had separated from its Hebraic and Torah-obedient roots, and was well on its way to becoming the Catholic Church that we know today with its many non-biblical and pagan-based traditions, many of which the Protestant churches have inherited. When Yahshua returns on or near Yom Teruah at the end of the age, he will be ready to marry a bride that is without spot and wrinkle who has come out of the Babylonish religious whore system. This system called the “church” contains both truth and error (Rev. 18:4). The true bride who will be wearing the robes of righteousness of Torah-obedience (Rev. 12:17; 14:12; 19:7-9) will be ready to receive and enter into the marriage ceremony with Yahshua, the Bridegroom—ever to remain faithful to him and never to stray into Baal/golden calf worship again. He will lead his wife, (even as he led in the pillar of fire the younger generation in the wilder­ness) into the Promised Land of the Messianic Age or Millennium (by the time of Sukkot). This is the main picture of Yom Teruah. End of quote.
7 Seventhly: This Feast is also called HaMelech – the King – when the Eternal will be acknowledged and then declared as the King of the world sitting on his throne. Implication: Yahshua will come in His Father’s authority to rule and reign from Yerushalayim for a thousand years as the King of kings and the Master of master, on behalf of His Father. The whole world will know that YHVH is the only true Elohim and that He has given all authority in heaven and in earth to His Son, HaMashiach Yahshua. (See I Cor 15)
8. Eighthly: T’shuvah – repentance – the last ten days of a 40 day period leading up to Yom HaKippurim. Judaism believe these days are especially serious days, when one is called to repentance from sin so that one’s name is not written in the book of death, but rather in the book of life. There is a special gate of mercy they believe, that is opened in heaven during these ten days.
9. Ninthly: This day is also called Rosh Hashanah.

Yom Teruah versus Rosh Hashanah
In spite of the fact that Judaism acknowledges this day as the “Yom Teruah” most of the Jewish community today will know it mainly as “Rosh Hashanah” which means "the head of the year" or "the first of the year." This is not fully Scriptural though unless we understand it correctly. Nowhere in Scripture is this festival referred to as the Rosh Hashana, which literally means head of the year and nowhere is it said that this must be the preferred name for this Appointment.
Batya Wooten suggests that the Scriptures that are normally used for seeing this Festival as the beginning of a new year, is Shemot/Ex 23:16 and 34:22.

“Shemot/Exo 23:16 and the Festival of the Harvest, the first-fruits of your labours which you have sown in the field; and the Festival of the Ingathering at the outgoing of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labours from the field. Exo 34:22 “And perform the Festival of Weeks for yourself, of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year”. She shows out that the understanding of these two Scriptures can be based on a misunderstanding. 

Did the Father change His mind on the “new year” as He announced it in Shemot/Exodus 12 (the beginning of the first month of the year is to be from now on the month of the Aviv which corresponds with March/April)?  What did He mean when He said “outgoing of the year” (some translations say “end of the year”), and “turn of the year”? She suggests that the Father’s Feast Calendar which go hand in hand with Yisrael’s agricultural seasons, are based on a seven-month-ling cycle. The feasts begin with Pesach and end 7 months later with Sukkot (Feast of Booths) and Shemeni Atzereth (Eighth day assembly). This agricultural year begin with the Spring barley harvest during the season of Pesach and ends with the Fall fruit harvest at Sukkot, and then the last one-day Feast called Shemeni Atzereth. If this view is accurate, then it means that the agricultural year ends with the Fall festivals and the new year did not begin the next day. Instead it began the next Spring in the month of Abib/Aviv. Ancient Yisrael was an agriculturally-based nation.  Their feast celebrations involved their entire lives and they revolved around the planting seasons. Their Agricultural calendar only included 7 lunar-based months, which began with the first harvest in the month of Abib/Aviv. However, Yisrael also functioned in a world that had (and still does have) a twelve –month-long calendar year related to the solar cycle of the sun, which is based on the rotation of the earth around the sun.


Yisrael’s twelve-month-long solar calendar likewise must begin in Abib/Aviv (Shemot/Exodus 12). To do less is to ignore the decree of the One who sets this in its place. End of what Batya Wootten says about this matter.

So the Scriptural New Year according to Torah is in the spring, corresponding with the exodus out of Mitsrayim/Egypt and our new birth. In Shemot/Exodus 12:2, YHVH instructs the Children of Yisrael that the month of the abib/aviv barley grain would be the beginning of months for them. Fourteen days after the beginning of this First month the Passover occurs. The beginning of the Scriptural (biblical) year is in the early spring of the year when plant life is bursting forth from a long dead winter season. It is a picture of spiritual rebirth or redemption for YHVH’s people.
Was there a time that the month of the Aviv was not the beginning of months?
Yes, from Creation until the exodus, the Seventh month could have been the First month then. We see in Torah how from the beginning of Creation, years were counted. But now just before the Exodus, the Eternal said that the month of the Aviv (when the barley was ready) when the Yisraelites had to flee Mitsrayim/Egypt, must be the First month of Months. Exo 12:1  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying, Exo 12:2  “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you.   

When YHVH spoke this to Mosheh in Mitsrayim/Egypt (Shemot/Ex 12), the Eternal sets in place a beginning of months for a Spiritual new year which sets the Chagim (the Feasts of YHVH) or the Appointed times (Moadim) in place. The word Moadim is also used for the Feasts and means “Appointed Times”. So YHVH wanted to make sure that the annual Appointments that He is to have with his people will be obeyed from that month, the Month of the Aviv, beginning at Pesach on the 14th day of this first month of the Aviv, for all Generations. This month of Aviv is then the true “Rosh Hashanah” of the “Spiritual new year” and Yom Teruah is the “Rosh HaShanah” only in the “Counting of calendar years” since creation. The Seventh Scriptural month sets the counting of years in place since creation.

This time of the year is according to Torah the time that the Smittah years (Sabbatical year of every seven year cycle) should be announced. This is one of the confirmations that show us that up to the Exodus, the now Seventh month was the First month of a 12 month cycle which makes a year. Every seven years the Torah was to be read loud out at the time of Sukkot (15 days later than Yom Teruah): Devarim/Deu 31:10  And Mosheh commanded them, saying, “At the end of seven years, at the appointed time, the year of release, at Sukkot (the Festival of Booths) Deu 31:11  when all Yisra’ĕl comes to appear before יהוה your Elohim in the place which He chooses, read this Torah before all Yisra’ĕl in their hearing.” and every Jubilee year (Vayiqra/Lev 25:8,9,10) the Shofar was to be blown on a Yom Kippur for the Fiftieth Sabbatical year called a Jubilee. So we can see that the counting of years had to take place during the Seventh Scriptural Month. In Talmudic times, Rosh HaShanah became a celebration of the Anniversary of the world's creation and a day of self-examination, repentance and judgment. It became thus also an anniversary for the creation of the First Adam. What is interesting is that according to many Scriptural signs this is also when the last Adam, Yahshua the Messiah was born. (You can ask for the article “When was Messiah born”) –We have seen that a King’s coronation is also always announced with the sounding of a shofar or trumpet. So in the Torah we can see that years were counted since creation up to today (except for the plus minus 210 years that were not counted – this is a controversy), during the Fall Appointment’s time (Yom Teruah to Sukkot and Shemeni Atzereth) which fall in the Seventh Scriptural month.

It is believed with good reason that the reckoning of the Rabbinical calendar's counting of years since creation can be out with plus minus 210 years (there are many controversies around this issue though). We could possibly though be very near the beginning of the Seventh thousandth year. When the count of Sixth thousandth year is reached, it means that six thousand years have almost passed since creation and now at the same time it will be the beginning of the Seventh thousand year (the Millennium.) Here again we can also see the importance of the counting of years during this time.
We will certainly be at the start of the Seventh Thousand year called the Millennium, when Messiah returns on a future Feast of Yom Teruah after the great tribulation. Yom Teruah is the beginning of the final ten days of repentance leading up to the Day of Atonement. It is a season to make things right with both the Eternal and fellow man in a special way. The hour is late and we must make ourselves ready for the Bridegroom.

The different names attached to this Feast are portrayed in the Second Writings (NT)
Says Dr Blad: If we look at these different names that Judaism attaches to this feast, we can see that Yom Teruah was written about quite a bit in the apostolic Scriptures, the Second Writings (“NT”). The message of the “sleeping one being awakened” is a reference to Yom Teruah, see Ephesians 5:14. The expression “in the blink of an eye”, “the last trumpet”, “the books opened”, “a door open in heaven”, “no one knows the day or the hour”, “he shall send out his messengers with the sound of a loud trumpet”, “he who sits on the throne”, “stand before the seat of judgment”, “the bridegroom is coming”, “the book of life”, “names written in heaven”, etc are all speaking of Yom Teruah. The message of the King being seated on the throne of esteem and dividing between the nations is speaking of Yom Teruah, see Matthew 25:31-46. 

The book of Revelation is written within the framework of the feasts in the seventh month, which have not yet had their fulfillment in the Messiah. 

The first three Feasts between Pesach and Shavuot (with Omer Reisheet/waving of the sheaf of the First Fruits of the barley in between) had their first fulfillment when the Messiah came the first time, but the last four feasts will have their final fulfillment when the Messiah comes back and the Eternal establishes his kingdom on the earth. (Some Messianic believers put Omer Reisheet as a feast and put Sukkot and Shemeni Atzereth as one and thus they will have 4 Spring Feasts and three Fall Feasts (we personally go for the other interpretation). Then Yom Teruah will be the introduction of the great final events that the Eternal has pre-determined for the world since before time was created. 
The apostolic Scriptures have so many references that prove that the Messiah will come back on Yom Teruah. That is when the dead in Yahshua will rise, judgment will be held, and one has to give account before the Eternal concerning the way one has lived. The Millennium Reign of Yahshua will start and He will rule and reign from Yerushalayim (physical Yerushalayim). We who place our trust in the mercy of the Eternal, that has been given to us through the atoning work of the Messiah, will then finally be found written down in the Book of life and will receive a lot in the coming age according to our faithfulness in this present life. After the Millennium reign, will come the Eighth Day when the renewed heaven and Renewed earth will be and renewed Yerushalayim will come down out of the heaven from Elohim. (Rev 21).

Colossians 2:16-17 says that the feasts of the new moons are shadows of what is coming. Everything points to that Yahshua was born on Yom Teruah, the birthday of Adam. On Yom Teruah, the hidden day, Yahshua will also come back on the clouds with great power and great esteem! (Some believe that Yahshua was born during Sukkot and this view point also has its pros). 

“Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last shofar. For the shofar will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.” (1 Cor. 15:51-52) End of quote from Dr Blad.

Endtime Harvest before the Millennium starts

Yom Teruah is also the time of the reaping of the summer harvest. Spiritually speaking, this period could possibly be the time of the reaping of the righteous to their reward (Rev. 14:4 “They are those who were not defiled with women, for they are maidens. They are those following the Lamb wherever He leads them on. They were redeemed from among men, being first-fruits to Elohim and to the Lamb”) and the harvest of the wicked to the great winepress of Elohim’s wrath (Rev. 14:14-20 And I looked and saw a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was One like the Son of Aḏam, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another messenger came out of the Dwelling Place, crying with a loud voice to the One sitting on the cloud, “Send Your sickle and reap, because the hour has come for You to reap, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.”And the One sitting on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. And another messenger came out of the Dwelling Place which is in the heaven, and he too held a sharp sickle. And another messenger came out from the altar, having authority over the fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him having the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe.”And the messenger thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of Elohim. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the bridles of the horses, for about three hundred kilometres.). It is possibly the time of the resurrection of the dead in Messiah Yahshua at the end of the tribulation (Matt. 24:29) and the beginning of Elohim’s wrath being poured out upon the nations (see Joel 3:11-13). This begins the Wrath-of- Elohim -time pictured by Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement, which occurs ten days after Yom Teruah) before which time the dead in Yahshua will have been resurrected and given their spiritual, esteemed bodies. The Millennium will start with Sukkot.

Watching and waiting - We must encourage one another to take these Scriptural lessons to heart that YHVH has given us in his Appointed Times. Remember "the blessed hope and the appearing of the esteem of our great Master and Saviour, Messiah Yahshua" (Tit 2:13) and rejoice in this hope. Take time to seek Elohim's face. The Scriptures says, "So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him." (2 Pet 3:14) The Messiah is coming soon!
Our Master has told us, "It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them." (Lk 12: 37) This is a time to be watching and waiting and be ready for the Messiah.


It is to Yerushalayim that Yahshua will return. Matt 19:28 says, And יהושע said to them, “Truly I say to you, when the Son of Aḏam sits on the throne of His esteem, you who have followed Me in the rebirth, shall also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Yisra’ĕl.

May we be found watching and waiting! - Rev 19:7 “Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife prepared herself.”
