From Bill—Fall Feast Number 1 is the Feast of Trumpets. (Sept 30-Oct 1) Lev 23 “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’ ” This is the only festival that falls on the first day of a Biblical month. That means it cannot be known in advance which day the new moon will appear. Today the rabbis set aside two days for this event. In Matt 24:36 Yeshua says “no man will know the day or the hour”. This is the perfect setup for the eventual return of Yeshua. The trumpet announces the coming of the king. Always be ready.— From Mel— Called Yom T’rooah-The Day of Trumpets is celebrated as the Jewish New Year. Apples are dipped in honey representing God’s goodness & sweetness for the coming new year. In Exodus 19, the sound of a shofar from heaven grew louder and louder so that the people who stood at the base of Mt. Sinai began to tremble. Then God spoke, and more than a million Israelites heard the audible voice of God at the same time. Can you imagine? In 1 Thessalonians 4:16, God again blows His shofar from heaven, as Jesus the Messiah returns to the world manifesting the glory of God! A shout of praise is called for on this day He saves the world. Our king is alive. Love Mel
