Rosh HaShanah, Yom Teruah, Feast of Trumpets Teaching: Time of JESUS' return? (Messianic Jewish)

Rosh Ha Shanah (lit. Head of the Year) is called by the world over, the "Jewish New Year". Jews both in Israel around the world recognize it as such. It is an official 2-day long, public holiday in the State of Israel known officially by the name Rosh Ha Shanah. The name Yom Teruah is the primary Biblical name.

1 Cor 15: 51-52
51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

The "official" date for 2011 on the pre-set calendar, which most of the Jewish World observes, is Sep 28 sundown to 30th sundown.

If you go by the NEW MOON sighting this year, 2011:
It will start on 29th sundown if the New Moon IS sighted Thursday evening.
BUT if it IS NOT seen in Israel on Thursday it will automatically start Sep 30 at sundown.

The Jewish custom is to celebrate 2 days. I personally will be celebrating Sep 30 sundown to Oct 1st sundown. This will automatically cover the correct day whether the moon is sighted or not!! It is like an insurance policy ;)

As far as how to keep/celebrate Yom Teruah - the command is that we hear the shofar! And the other traditions are to wear white, have a nice dinner with sweet foods, like dipping apple in honey etc. That is apart from it being a time of introspection, repentance, prayer and worship and looking forward to YAHUSHUA's coming whether it be now or in the future! Just keep it simple and don't get too caught up in rituals/traditions :)

When was Rosh Ha Shanah 2011?

It depends on whether you determine the New Month by the pre-set calendar (official) or by the actual appearance of the New Moon over Jerusalem.

The pre-set calendar puts the 1st day of Rosh Ha Shanah on September 29th 2011- but started the evening before on the 28th.

Remember, a Jewish day is sunset to sunset, not midnight to midnight.

If by New Moon, the first day falls September 30th 2011, but began evening of September 29th. (The New Moon was sighted Thursday 29th 2011).

Hi again, Thanks for talking with me. I too am forever learning. I just read Ezk 40:1 In the twenty fifth year of our captivity at the BEGINNING of the YEAR, on the tenth day of the month.....

Gods beginning of years is always at spring at the first sliver of the Moon and the barley is aviv thats the beginning of years to us. Isn't that what you read?

What do you mean by civil?

[jarofclay9]

@kerren You are right, the Torah literally calls the Springtime the "Head/Start of Months". I don't believe it ever has exact words Head of "the Year" for Spring (only of "Head the Months"). Certainly the Springtime is when the cycle/year of the HolyDays begins. By “civil” in civil calendar I mean like mundane everyday life vs. religious life. Fall is when the number of the year changes in Israel. But Spring is when the cycle of the Months and Holy Days begins.

[jarofclay9]

@kerren I think I explain it better in this video starting around 3:57

/watch?v=X2pkE0fJuks

For GOD's calendar, according to the Torah, the start of the year is most definitely in Spring. Absolutely, I agree. But for the civil calendar (for mundane regular life) the start of the year is Fall. You can say we who are born again :) have two dates of birth: [1] born from mother's womb as a baby (like the civil new year) & [2] born again by the HOLY SPIRIT (like the religious new year).

[jarofclay9]

@kerren Amen, I'm forever learning too!! :)

Praise YAH!!!!!!!!!

[YAHsHolyMinistry]

Wow Sis i enjoy learning about the Holy Jewish Feast Days! Great Job for the Glory of YAHUSHUA our MASHIACH! HALLELUYAH!!! Very exciting, just to know that our MESSIAH will come in a Feast like this wow! May YAHUSHUA continue to anoint you sis to do HIS works and to preach HIS word in the Holy Name of our MESSIAH YAHUSHUA!!!

[jarofclay9]

@YAHsHolyMinistry Praise YAH!! ALL praise honor and glory to GOD ALMIGHTY!

[kerrenperry]

@jarofclay9 Ezek 1:1 says he is in captivity in the fourth month, when on Gods calender is that? Ezekial starts to write the the book of Ezekial in the fourth month. God does say when our years start, it's in Exodus 12-2 This month [shall be] unto you the beginning of months it [shall be] the first month of the year to you....it continues talking about taking a lamb for each person, thus refering to passover in the spring. I'm not trying to be right either. your awesome thank you for yor time.

[rbx01x]

@jarofclay9 Agreed, by scripture alone :)

[jarofclay9]

@rbx If you don't want to use the names for the days of the week, its okay. But I just want to warn you against the spirit of religion. Certainly in Heaven there will be no need to use pagan names for days like Monday, January...but while we are on earth it can almost be necessary in our day to day lives. What I wanted to say is that the Bible uses some of the Babylonian names of months & it is not used for rebuke, but for identification. We can follow that example with names like January etc.

[rbx01x]

@jarofclay9 Something as little as trying not to say those names might seem petty to some. but YHWH knows my heart, and I want nothing more than to follow Him and Him alone. Thanks for you lesson on the video! Shalom, yom nifla!

[rbx01x]

@jarofclay9 I don't believe anything that YHWH says is legalistic, although many sects of modern Christianity will label it that. Instead of seeing the definition of the verb צוה as the abstract "command," a more concrete Hebraic definition is to "provide directions for the trail" as we can see in the following verse. And we journeyed from Horeb... Just as YHWH our ELOHIM directed us (Deuteronomy 1:19). I only want to show Father I love him because He gave His only Son for us.

[rbx01x]

@jarofclay9 Yes, reading The Word is great! The only reason their names are to be said are to expose them, as the prophets did. ( Eph 5:11 "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." ) Y'shua has to slowly reproved and corrected me and now I have repented of using the named days of the gregorian calendar. Now If I could only get around those pesky months.

[jarofclay9]

@Hi again Keren, I’ll answer in a few parts. Well, re Ezek 40:1 is debatable. My belief is that since he was in exile (to Babylon), it could be refer to Fall as a Head of the Year. Also it was a vision of the Temple which relates to Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is the 10th of Tishrei. The verse says “10th of the month”. It’s just my personal belief this refersf to Fall rather than Spring. I wouldn’t force anyone to agree with me or say that I can prove them wrong or visa/versa. :)
