We Are Alive! September 26th, 2022 Trumpets

Today, our family observed a special Sabbath, where we did no work and listened to teachings online. We blew the shofar to honor this special day.

Many people call this day "Rosh Hashanah" (head of the year), but biblically it's called "Yom Turuah" (Day of Shouting) Nowhere in the bible is the seventh month called a "new year".

On the first day of the seventh month hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. It is a day for you to sound the trumpet." Numbers 29

Our sacred assembly was our family! Our regular work was ceased today (until sundown) and we sounded the trumpet.

Also called "Yom Hekasak", the concealed day. Because it's a new month, the moon is concealed in darkness. Because we don't know when exactly the new month begins, it's also the event that "no one knows the day or hour". It's possible that Heaven and earth will pass away on this day in the future.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away, but concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. Matthew 24:36

Also called "Yom HaDin", the day of judgment. It's believed this is the day when the books in heaven are opened and our deeds are reviewed over the next ten days. After the ten days, a determination is made concerning the next cycle at the seventh month.

Also called "Yom HaZekarim", the day of commeration. This is from the scripture:

'On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with shofar blasts.' Leviticus 23:24

We are remembering when the trumpet call announces the Jubilee year, every 50 years. There is some thought that this trumpet call THIS YEAR is the announcement of the forgiveness of debts, HaYovel, the Jubilee.

Today is also known as Resurrection day, the day of the Trumpet call of God:

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

What an amazing thought, that the return of Messiah would be on this day someday, the heavens rolling up like a scroll, the stars falling like figs from a tree. A day unlike any other day in history.

Interesting to hear about the Day of Shouting Benjamin, and I hope that you did not freighten the neighbors too much while blowing the horn, a year for forgiving debts sounds like a good idea for our times, enjoy your new week and stay !ALIVE

I hope that you did not freighten the neighbors too much

A neighbor two streets away informed me that she can here the ram's horn, she wasn't complaining, she thought it was good and it's only once a year. I wonder if there are others not saying anything. :-) It's not as loud as the 4th of July (Independence Day) when half of the neighborhood is shooting off fireworks late into the night.

a year for forgiving debts sounds like a good idea for our times

There would be no debt slavery if we did this every fifty years, no generational debt either.

Good to hear the neighbors enjoyed it, and the current monetary system is built on debt as the foundation unfortunatly, crypto is money without debt though.

Does the forgiveness of debts include mortgages?

An incredible hope and expectation indeed! Especially with so much wickedness and suffering. I'm so glad that you also understand the seventh month is NOT the start of the year. Pesach being in the first month seems so simple a baby could understand it. And yet, most adults do not......

We also blew the shofar yesterday. Our Jewish worker came over and talked to us about it and told us some of his beliefs. It was an interesting time - I wrote a post about it and a short video was included. I didn't have all the research you have in this post though - really interesting! Some stuff I have never heard before. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent biblical analysis.

I heard the shofar at least 8 times over the last two days.
There is also unresolved debate in Judaism itself as to whether "Rosh Hashanna" or the 1st of Nissan is actually the anniversary of the creation of the world.
