It is now the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, which continues until sundown Sunday. Originally, this was the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah). The Church under Constantine dropped this and all "Jewish" Holy Days. Modern Jews combined the New Year and Feast of Trumpets. This holy day begins the Days of Awe, which is a ten-day period of contemplation ending with Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. The Feast of Trumpets is a time to hear the blowing of the shofar. It signifies the blowing of the Shofar, or trumpet of God when Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Christ) returns. So, I bid you all "Shanah Tovah,” which means “good year” in Hebrew. The word “u’metuka” – meaning “and sweet” – is sometimes added to the end of that phrase as in “good and sweet year." Praise God for His never ending grace, mercy, and faithfulness. |
