Celebrating Rosh Hashanah: God's Lunar Calendar and Appointed Times 0:09 Reaching Israel. And the world. And the world. And the world.0:28 We're excited because we're celebrating during this season Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets. Honey, this is a fun and beautiful time of year. The0:39 seasons are changing. We're moving into the fall. And as you know, in traditional Judaism, this holy season, Rosh Hashanah, perhaps more biblically called Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets,0:52 in traditional Judaism, this is celebrated as the Jewish New Year, and it's just a fun time. I know that, 1 of your favorite times of this year is just being together with God's people and celebrating this1:04 together as we've done for so many years now. Yeah. You1:06 know, there's that long pause from from, Shavuot, from the from Pentecost, and then there's a long pause before the next feast. And so when we come in to we1:18 finally get to this next feast to celebrate the Lord, it's even more intense and more exciting for me just knowing that Yeshua could return. You know, there's some that think that he's gonna return1:30 on Rosh Hashanah on that that day where the trumpets are being blast, and and it's always exciting to get in that and together with all the people that gather around from all over the world and come to1:42 our our Rosh Hashanah feast and the blowing of the trumpets. It's just so exciting to be with God's people blowing those trumpets and just waiting for Yeshua to1:54 return.1:59 Did you know that the creator has a calendar? That's right. Even as we have calendars in America and other parts of the world commemorating certain days, Christmas,2:10 Valentine's Day, Veterans Day, etcetera, the Lord, the creator of the universe, the creator of you and I, He also has a2:22 calendar. It's slightly different than our Gregorian calendar. By Gregorian, I mean the name of the solar system calendar that's used across the world to track2:34 time. The Lord's calendar is not based on the sun. The Lord's calendar is based on the moon. It's called a lunar calendar. It's similar in length to the solar2:45 calendar, but not exactly. The Lord marked his calendar, this lunar calendar that he's given us, he's marked it with certain appointed2:57 days. In fact, this is so important that the 20 third chapter of the book of Leviticus that we call in Hebrew Vayikra actually walks us through every3:09 appointed day on the creator's calendar. Let's begin today with prayer. Father, we worship you today, and we don't wanna miss a thing. Father, I pray that your word would go forward today and would3:21 circumcise our hearts. Father, we declare that your word is living and active, sharper than a 2 edged sword, and we ask you, father, to impart divine truth in us with the3:32 laser fire of the living word of God. And all of you that are in agreement with me today, let's speak Hebrew together and say, amen. Did you know when we say amen or amen,3:45 it comes from the Hebrew word, which means faith? So when we say amen, wait till what we're saying is we're we're affirming that thing that we're saying amen to. We're saying, yes. I believe. I affirm3:56 it. And, again, it has to do with faith. The 20 third chapter of the book of Leviticus contains God's calendar. And the Lord said to4:08 Moses, and he gave these words to Moses obviously to give to all his children, the Lord said to Moses, these are my appointed days.4:21 These are my holy convocations. So when the lord tells us that he has holy days, which are to be times of holy convocation, days that are4:33 set apart for his people so that he can have a special meeting with them, I think those of you that love God would agree with me today, we don't wanna miss 1 of4:44 God's sacred days because we don't wanna miss 1 of his appointments. The Lord is actually giving us his appointments. He actually said, these are my appointed days. In4:56 the 20 third chapter of the book of Leviticus, let's begin there just with the introduction to all these days in verse 1 and 2. The grass withers and the flowers fade, beloved 1, but the word of the5:08 lord abides forever. Hear god's word for you right now. The lord spoke again to Moses saying, speak to the sons of Israel and say5:20 to them, the Lord's appointed times, get that phrase, the Lord's appointed times. These are not just Jewish holidays, These are more significantly5:33 the lord's appointed times. The lord's appointed times, which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, my appointed times are these.5:46 So let's just take a step back for a moment and digest what we just read. These days, although originally given to Israel, are not just for5:57 Israel only because the Bible says that all of God's elect, Jew and Gentile alike in Yeshua, in Jesus, have now6:09 become the Israel of God. So the church is known prophetically in the Brit Chadashah, the New Testament, as the Israel of God.6:21 Now the church has not replaced Israel, and spiritual Israel has not replaced national Israel. But the point is is that you have been grafted in, if you're a Gentile, through your living6:33 faith in Yeshua, you've been grafted in to the Commonwealth of Israel. I say all that to say this, these appointed days of the6:45 Lord, beloved ones, are for you as well if you're a believer in the God and father of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is also the God of Israel. And so knowing now that these appointed days6:57 have relevancy for you, whether you're Jewish or not, we're gonna turn to the first of the fall holy days. And this series is on the fall holy days because we are now, beloved,7:09 in this season. During this series, we'll not be able to cover them all today, but we're gonna be going over Rosh Hashanah, also known as Yom Teruah or the feast of7:20 trumpets. Next, we're gonna look at Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. And then we're gonna be looking at Sukkot or the Feast of Tabernacles. So we're gonna be looking at7:32 3 whole fall holy days during this study on the fall holy days. We're gonna begin then in verse number 24 of Leviticus chapter number 23.7:45 Speak to the sons of Israel saying, in the seventh month, on the first of the month, you shall have a rest, a reminder, by blowing of7:56 trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the lord. Let's read it again slowly. There's 28:08 things that I'm wanting to point out and draw your attention to on the first verse. The first thing that I'm wanting us to see together is when this holy day happens, And the second thing that I want8:20 us to focus on is what we're supposed to do on this holy day. When does it happen and what are we supposed to do? So first of all, we find out that this feast happens on the first8:32 day of the seventh month in God's calendar, which in Hebrew is called the month of Tishrei. So we read in verse number 24, in the seventh month, on8:44 the first of the month there we go. There's the identification of when it takes place. Now what are we supposed to do on this day? 2 things. We're supposed to blow a trumpet as8:56 a reminder, and we're not to do any laborious work. So let's continue on the 20 fourth verse. You shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing9:08 of trumpets, a holy convocation, and you shall not do any laborious work. What I find really fascinating, beloved ones, about this is that there's really not9:20 a whole lot of information here. We know that it's to be celebrated. It's to be honored. We know when it takes place on the first day of the month of Tishrei, and we know that we're9:31 supposed to blow trumpets as a reminder and not work. The question becomes, why are we blowing the trumpets, and what is the blowing9:43 of the trumpets to remind us of? Why do we blow trumpets, and what does the blowing of the trumpet remind us of? And that's9:55 what I want to begin to focus on on today's broadcast.The Shofar Reminder: From Sinai to Jewish Identity 10:12 You know, the ministry of Discovering the Jewish Jesus is preaching the same gospel that many other ministries out there are preaching. We're all pointing to King Jesus who is10:23 leading us to Father God. But we just do it through a little bit of a different avenue. We're preaching the gospel from a Jewish roots perspective, and10:35 there's no other place where we get to see that manifest in such a special way than when we do our festival overseas.10:44 In the United States.10:47 Thousands upon thousands of people are flocking to hear the gospel from a Jewish man. The Bible says in the book of Zechariah that in the last10:58 days, 10 men will take hold of the garment of a Jew and say, we want to go with you for we have heard that God is with you. And let me tell11:10 you, God is moving miraculously through this ministry, through salvation, through healing, through deliverance. Thousands and thousands are being touched through the gospel of11:22 discovering the Jewish Jesus. I just wanna say thank you all of you who are being touched, all of you who are being blessed through this ministry, all of you who are praying and who are watching. Thank you11:34 for being a part of allowing us and and helping us to spread the Jewish Jesus to the world.11:42 Beloved, thank you for taking time to watch the broadcast today. I truly am honored. I wanna ask you if you're being blessed by this ministry to consider becoming a monthly partner with11:54 me if you're not already. Beloved, I know you want to see 2 things happen. You want to personally be blessed and secondly, you want to know that this ministry is helping other people around the globe. All I can tell you12:06 is we receive thousands of testimonies every month from all over the world of people that are getting saved and whose lives are being changed. So once again, will you prayerfully consider today becoming12:17 a monthly partner with us if you're not already? Thank you. When Israel would think about blowing a trumpet12:29 and they should be reminded of something when that trumpet blows, What immediately comes to mind is in the nineteenth chapter of the book of Exodus12:41 when 3000000 Jewish people, Israelites, were gathered in the wilderness at the base of Mount Sinai. And as they were gathered at the12:53 bottom of the mountain, they heard from heaven a divine cosmic shofar begin to sound. If you can imagine what you felt like13:05 at certain points in your life when you were standing outside, and all of a sudden it thundered, a thunder cracked through the sky. And when that thunder cracked through the sky, it was13:17 so powerful, you shook because of the awesome power of it. That's what Israel felt at the base of Mount Sinai when that trumpet began to sound. The Bible tells us13:29 they began to tremble. They were so terrified, they told Moses to ask the Lord to stop speaking to them. They said to Moses, you go up the mountain and talk to him, and then13:41 come back down and tell us what he said. Now I wanna take a pause again for a second to compartmentalize our thoughts. I want you to wrap your mind around something.13:53 I might begin to declare this, that there was a cosmic shofar, a divine shofar from heaven that sounded approximately 3500 years ago in the wilderness, that 3000000 Israelites were14:04 gathered at the base of the mountain and heard it. It was so powerful it terrified them, and it might almost feel a bit like a fairy tale. It happened so long ago. We weren't there. Some14:16 might be wondering, did that really happen? Many people teach that the Bible tells us good moral truths and that there's good, lessons we can learn from it, but they don't believe14:28 it's fact. I am here today as the host of Discovering the Jewish Jesus, beloved 1, telling you that this is a fact. That 3500 years ago,14:40 literally 3000000 Jews approximately were gathered at the base of Mount Sinai, and a cosmic shofar sounded from heaven. How do I know that's true? Well, number14:52 1, faith. But beyond faith, which is a gift of God, I know it because when I think about the Jewish people today, myself, I'm 100 percent Ashkenazi Jew. My15:04 wife finally convinced me to go get my, test done through ancestry dot com because everybody else in my family had it done. I didn't really care. I knew who I was, but I finally said, okay. For the fun of it, I'll do it.15:13 Came back 100 percent Ashkenazi Jew. So when I look at my life, I look at my culture, I look at the culture I grew up in, the Jewish culture I grew up in, the Jewish people being so15:25 tightly knit together, looking at how successful they've been in business, the amount of Nobel Prizes that Jewish people have won, the fact that Jewish people were15:37 exiled out of Israel several times, we read about in the Hebrew bible, and then again in the Brit Chadashah, the New Testament, because of sin, they were dispersed to all the nations of the world,15:49 separated from each other by oceans. They couldn't communicate because there was no technology, you know, 200 years ago, and this goes way far farther back than 200 years ago. This goes16:00 back 3000, you know, 2 between 2 to 3000 years ago. Separated by ocean, could not communicate by mail, by technology, and yet16:12 the Jewish people, regardless of where in the earth they were living, they didn't assimilate by and large into the other nations. They retained their Jewish identity.16:25 And in fact, they've been celebrating Passover regardless of where they've lived in the world for 3500 years. It's the oldest feast in the world. So what do I mean by Passover? Well, the thing16:36 that preceded Israel coming to the base of Mount Sinai was that they were delivered out of Egypt by the blood of the Passover lamb. God delivered them out of Egypt, part of the sea, and then brought them to the base of16:48 Mount Sinai. Jewish people today, 3500 years later, I'm speaking in approximate numbers, 3500 years later have been celebrating Passover every17:00 single year since. How could this be possible unless what the Bible says happened really happened? How could Jewish people retain their identity,17:13 retain their language? Even though they didn't speak Hebrew as a common language of communication, they still read the Torah in Hebrew. How did they retain their identity when the Babylonians have17:25 come and gone, the Persians have come and gone, the Medes have come and gone, and all the other ites have come and gone, yet the Jewish people retain their identity, retain their celebration of Passover, the17:37 oldest feast in the world? How did that happen? Because God really met them at Sinai. The shofar blew from heaven. They quaked and they thundered, and they never17:49 forgot it. And so on this holy day called the Feast of Trumpets, the Jewish people are commanded to celebrate every year. We just read about this in18:01 the 20 fourth verse of Leviticus 23, when the Lord said, I want you to blow the shofar every year on the first day of the seventh month and remember, what they remember18:14 is how God blew a shofar from heaven. And when the shofar grew louder and louder and louder, and the people were trembling and quaking, collapsing under18:25 the power, then the Lord spoke. So the announcement of the voice of God into the world, the announcement of God's power18:37 and kingdom into the earth was preceded by a trumpet, by a shofar. Now18:49 all these holy days that are found in Leviticus chapter 23 not only had application and have application in their original historic19:01 context, which I just overviewed with you, But all these holy days, beloved ones, are prophetic and find their ultimate fulfillment in Messiah Yeshua19:13 in king Jesus. Jesus is the fulfillment of the entire Torah. He's the fulfillment of the entire Tanakh or Old Testament. Everything points to him.19:25 That's why after Yeshua rose from the dead, his disciples, didn't know that he had risen from the dead, yet they were just completely broken. All they knew is that the 1 that they19:37 had left everything to follow, Yeshua of Nazareth, all they knew is that the Romans had crucified him, and they had lost their hope. They didn't know what happened. They were living in a state of total19:48 brokenness and confusion. Again, Jesus had risen from the dead, but they didn't know he rose from the dead. All they knew was the tomb was empty. And they're walking on a road, we read in the gospels, to a20:00 city towards Emmaus. Emmaus is the name of the city. And they're all downcast. Everything that they had hoped for, everything that they have believed in for was crushed. The messiah that they left all for had been20:12 crucified. And the scripture tells us that as they were walking downcast in soul, suddenly a stranger approached them. Now the stranger was Jesus.20:24 But to the disciples, he appeared as a stranger because Jesus took on a physical body that was not the same body that they knew him in when he had walked with them for 3 years. So this 120:36 that's Jesus appears to them as a stranger, and Jesus says to them, what's what's wrong? And they said to him, no, are you Meshuggah? Are you don't you know what's going on here? The 1 that we thought was the20:48 Messiah of Israel that was gonna deliver Israel from the oppression of the Romans and restore Israel's glory, he's been crucified. And then Jesus, appearing to them as a stranger, the21:00 scripture tells us, took them on a journey through the law of Moses, the prophets, and the Psalms, and showed them all21:11 those things that were hidden beneath the pages of scripture that pointed to the messiah and how he was gonna suffer and die. And then he opened their eyes to understand the scriptures, and they realized it was Jesus21:23 that was talking to them. And they saw how the entire Bible was prophetic and pointed to Jesus. The point is, beloved, the Bible finds its end. It finds its climax in theYeshua's Fulfillment: Trumpets and the Fall Feasts 21:35 person of Yeshua. It all points to him, and these holy days all point to Jesus. That's why Jesus was crucified on Passover, buried on unleavened21:47 bread, rose on the feast of first fruits, and sent His spirit on the day that we call Pentecost, which is called in Hebrew Shavuot. Jesus fulfilled all the spring feasts, and21:59 He's also gonna fulfill the fall feast. Now on next week's broadcast, I'm gonna continue this very important living word. I'm gonna talk about22:11 how Yom Teruah, the feast of trumpets or Rosh Hashanah, points to Yeshua and is fulfilled in him. Because there's something critical here that you and I need22:22 to awaken to. The word that I'm gonna bring you on the next broadcast in this series, it's the most fundamental word that we could all be hearing right now, and22:34 I'm gonna tell you why it's the most important word for you and for you to hear it right now the next time that I continue my series, another episode in this series. So I just wanna pray with you right now. Father22:46 God, we love you today. And as we're entering into this holy time of year, these days that you said are your appointed days, we don't wanna treat them casually.22:59 Father, we don't wanna just push them aside. We don't wanna say, oh, that's interesting, and not pay any attention to them. Father, you take them seriously, and we take them seriously.23:11 Father, you said these are your appointed days for us, that you've made an appointment with us. And, father, we don't wanna miss the appointment. Father, deliver us23:23 from not showing up to meet with you when you wanna do something very special for us. Father, we love you today, and I pray that you would prepare all our23:35 hearts to receive everything that you have for us in King Messiah Yeshua. I love this time of year.23:47 It brings back such happy memories. Again, Jewish people celebrate this as the Jewish New Year. And I want to encourage you, if the Lord's blessing you through this ministry, if you've just23:58 being, being strengthened by it, encouraged by it, if it's bringing joy in your life, As we're now in the season of the Jewish New Year, would you make a commitment if you're not already24:10 to financially support us? It's a spiritual principle. The Bible tells us in first Corinthians chapter 9 that we should financially support those ministries that are feeding us spiritually.24:23 So a lot of times during a new year, people make a decision to perhaps change a behavior in their life, to grow in an area that they want to see advance And if the Lord, once again, is blessing you through this24:35 ministry, I want to ask you to honor him with your finances through this ministry. Beloved, not only will it come back to you pressed down good measure and running over into your lap according to the word of God, but24:46 you'll make it possible for others to be blessed as well.
