(Thursday)

The Day of Trumpets is also known as Rosh Hashana the (civil) New Year, The

Day of Remembrance, Judgment Day, and the start of the Ten Days of

Penitence. It is a day of remembering the beginning of the world, and a

commemoration of the dead (who will be resurrected on that day). This is why,

with the Day of Atonement, the Day of Trumpets is one of the two great solemn

Page 5: Day of Trumpets

holydays. New Year's Day is thus a day of judgment and a new beginning. Not

merely the anniversary of creation, it is a renewal of creation (the time

everything will be made new, at the Messiah's return).

Beginning on the Day of Trumpets and ending on the Day of Atonement is what

called the

Aseret Yemei Teshuva

(Ten Days of Penitence,)

or

Yamim Noraim

"Days of Awe,"

Dedicated to the inner cleansing of the man.

They are also known as "Days of Return," because we are to examine ourselves

and return to YaHuWaH.

On Trumpets,

YaHuWaH opens three books:

the first

containing the names of the righteous, who are in the book of life,

the second

contains the names of those irremediably wicked whose fate is death,

the third

book has the names of those in between, who have until Atonement to

determine their fates

The weekly Sabbath between Trumpets and Atonement is known as

Sabbath Shubah

("return"), meaning "repentance Sabbath."

Shabbat Shuvah

Page 6: Day of Trumpets

Shabbat Shuvah ("Sabbath [of] Return") refers to the Shabbat that occurs

during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom

Kippur. The Jewish calendar is so designed that only one Shabbat can occur

between these dates. This Shabbat is named after the first word of the

Haftarah and literally means "Return!" It is perhaps a play on, but not to be

confused with, the word Teshuvah (the word for "repentance") which is the

motif of Ten Days of Repentance.

Hosea 14:1

Y’ISCHRaEL, return to YaHuWaH your Aluah; for you have fallen down

because of your sin.

Hosea 14:2

Take Words (Yahuwshuwah) with you, and return to YaHuWaH. Tell Him,

“Bear away all our sin, and receive us well, so we offer the bulls of our lips.

Bulls of our lips: the words mentioned earlier in the verse. With no temple

intact and being in exile, this is all Efrayim has available to bring to YHWH

as an acceptable sacrifice.

Rom. 12:1-2.

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of YaHuWaH, to present your

bodies a living slaughter, kodesh, acceptable to YaHuWaH, which is your

reasonable worship. Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed

by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-

pleasing, and perfect will of YaHuWaH.

Hosea 14:3

Ashshuwr can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; neither will we say any

more to the work of our hands, ‘Our mighty ones!’ for in You the fatherless

finds mercy.”

A horse: paralleling Ashur (Assyria), this is one of the things YISCHRaEL

tended to trust in (for military security) instead of YaHuWaH. Fatherless:

Page 7: Day of Trumpets

the Northern Kingdom in particular, who until now had forgotten who our

ancestors were.

Mal’achi 4:5-6.

Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their mighty ones; but we

will walk in the Name of YaHuWaH our Aluahiym into the ages and

beyond. “In that Day,” says YaHuWaH, “I will assemble that which is lame,

and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;

Hosea 14:4

“I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for My anger is

turned away from him.

Freely: or voluntarily

Hosea 14:5

I will be like the dew to Y’ISCHRa’EL. He will blossom like the lily,

[Songs 2:1] and send down his roots like Lebanon.

Dew: traditionally associated with the resurrection, but also with the manna,

which arrived when there was dew. The root word for “dew” means “to cover

over”. Lily: possibly narcissus or daffodil; a six-petalled flower sometimes

called the “rose of Sharon”, though it is not a rose.

Hosea 14:6

His shoots will go forth, and His beauty will be like the olive tree, and His

fragrance like Lebanon.

Shoots will go forth: Since this is speaking of Efrayim, it is an allusion to

Yaa’qov’s promise that Yoseyf’s branches would stride across a wall.

Ber. 49:22

Page 8: Day of Trumpets

“Yahuwseph [increaser/adding] is a fruitful vine, (Rachel's son) a fruitful vine

by a spring.His branches run over the wall.

Splendor: majesty or vigor. The scent of Levanon would be the pleasant

fragrance of cedar trees.

Hosea 14:7

Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom

like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.

Under his shade: benefiting from the ways of YISCHRaEL. Since the whole

passage is addressed to YISCHRaEL, these others may be the “companions” of

the House of YISCHRaEL.

Yehezqel 37:16

You, son of Adam, take one stick, and write on it, For Yahuwdah, and for the

children of Y’ISCHRa’EL his companions: then take another stick, and write on

it, For Yowseph, the stick of Ephraiym, and for all the House of Y’ISCHRa’EL

his companions:

Come back: to the Land, and to the Hebraic heritage.

The vine: YaHuWSHuWaH said this is what He was.

Yahuwchanan 15:5

I AM the Vine. You are the branches (Nätsärim). He who remains in Me, and I

in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from Me you are not able to do even

one thing.

Hosea 14:8

Ephrayim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and

will take care of him. I am like a green fir tree; from Me your fruit is found.”

Idols: the most salient example that comes to mind is the crucifix. He is a

living tree to us; why do we need a dead one that focuses our attention on a

Page 9: Day of Trumpets

death that is no more? He will treat the House of Yoseyf as if we had never

gone astray, so why should He want a reminder that He had to redeem us?

Zech. 10:6

“I will strengthen the House of Yahuwdah, and I will save the House of

Yowseph, and I will bring them back; or I will have mercy on them; and

they will be as though I had not cast them off: for I AM YaHuWaH their

Aloha, and I will hear them.

Flourishing: luxuriant, ever-fresh, or green. There is no need for cut-down

trees to be in our homes anymore! Cypress: not the type that grows in

American swamps, but the tall, narrow evergreen that grows in the Land of

YISCHRaEL and is seen quite commonly in southern California, which has

much the same climate. Fruit has been attained from Me: anything

worthwhile that we have accomplished has been His gift and at root His

doing.

Eph. 2:8-10

YaHuWaH saved you by His special favor when you believed. And you

can't take credit for this (belief); it is a gift from YaHuWaH. Deliverance is

not a reward for the good things we have done [works], so none of us can

boast about it. For we are YaHuWaH’s workmanship/achievement. He has

created us anew in haMashiyach YaHuWSHuWaH, so that we can do the

good things He planned for us long ago.

Hosea 14:9

Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he

may know them for the ways of YaHuWaH are straightforward, and the

righteous walk in them; But the rebellious stumble in them.

Who is wise: anyone who asks can be.

Page 10: Day of Trumpets

Yaaqov/James 1:5

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of Aluah, Who gives to all

liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.

These things: the restoration and return of the House of YISCHRaEL.

Straightforward: level, correct, straight, fitting, proper, upright. Rebel: revolt

or overstep, i.e., leaving the path through either carelessness or willfulness.

The rebels are still affected by the Torah; they can still be redeemed. Those

who are wholly wicked will simply ignore it.

Micah 7:19-20

He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot;

and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. You will give truth

to Yaa’qob, and mercy to Abraham, as You have sworn to our fathers from

the days of old.

are read on this Sabbath. Repentance is the vehicle YaHuWaH has assigned

through which man may reach Him. The only way to approach YaHuWaH is

through repentance. The value of repentance is also emphasized by the

Biblical example of King Hezekiah, who, when upon his deathbed, pleaded

with YaHuWaH for mercy. YaHuWaH granted Hezekiah's request and

extended his life for fifteen years,

II Kings 20:1-11.

In those days was HizquiYahuw sick to death. YashaYahuw the prophet the son

of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says YaHuWaH, ‘Set your house

in order; for you shall die, and not live.’” Then he turned his face to the wall,

and prayed to YaHuWaH, saying, “Remember now, YaHuWaH, I beg you, how

I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that

which is good in Your sight.” HizquiYahuw wept bitterly. It happened, before

YashaYahuw had gone out into the middle part of the city, that the Word of

YaHuWaH came to him, saying, “Turn back, and tell HizquiYahuw the prince

of My people, ‘Thus says YaHuWaH, the Al of Dawiyd your father, “I have

heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third

day, you shall go up to the House of YaHuWaH. I will add to your days fifteen

years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the sovereign of Ashuwr.

Page 11: Day of Trumpets

I will defend this city for My own sake, and for My servant Dawiyd’s sake.”’

YashaYahuw said, “Take a cake of figs.”They took and laid it on the boil, and

he recovered. HizquiYahuw said to YashaYahuw, “What shall be the sign that

YaHuWaH will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of YaHuWaH the

third day?” YashaYahuw said, “This shall be the sign to you from YaHuWaH,

that YaHuWaH will do the thing that He has spoken: shall the shadow go

forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?” HizquiYahuw answered, “It is a light

thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. Nay, but let the shadow return

backward ten steps.” YashaYahuw the prophet cried to YaHuWaH; and He

brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial

of Ahaz.

There are three areas of repentance in understanding:

thought,

speech,

action.

Unless one corrects his actions, he is not truly repentant.

Hoshia-na:

Baruch [is] ha Melekh YISCRaEL that cometh b'Shem YaHuWaH (יהוה ).

All the Spring Feasts were fulfilled at YaHuWSHuWaH first coming, and on the

exact day of the feast. All the Fall Feasts picture the Second Advent, and the

Feast of Trumpets is the first of the fall feasts, picturing the rapture.

Galates 1:11

Page 12: Day of Trumpets

But I make known to you, Achim, that the Good News which was proclaimed of

me is to man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the

revelation of YaHuWShuWaH HaMashiyach

The Feast of Trumpets is also known as the coronation of the HaMashiyach,

when he will start reigning as king, thus the beginning of the "Day of

YaHuWaH ", which includes the tribulation. It is also time for the bema

judgment, or the judgement of the works of the righteous, and judgement must

begin at the house of YHWH.

Ten Reasons Why YaHuWaH Commanded Us to Keep the Day of Trumpets,

Saadia Gaon

(892-942 A.D.)

The first reason:

Because this day is the beginning of creation, on which the Holy One blessed be

He, created the world and reigned over it. Just as is with kings at the start of

their reign -- trumpets and horns are blown in their presence to make it known

and to let it be heard in every place -- thus it is when we designate the Creator,

may He be blessed, as King on this day, for David said: With trumpets and

sound of the horn, shout ye before the King, YaHuWaH.

Tehillim 98:6.

With shofars and sound of the ram’s horn,make a joyful noise before the

Sovereign, YaHuWaH.

The second reason:

Because the day of New Year is the first of the ten days of repentance, the

shofar is sounded on it to announce to us as one warns and says: "Whosoever

wants to repent -- let him repent; and if he does not, let him reproach himself."

Thus do the kings: first they warn the people of their decrees; then if one

violates a decree after the warning, his excuse is not accepted.

The third reason:

Page 13: Day of Trumpets

To remind us of Mount Sinai, . . . The blare of the horn grew louder and louder,

Exodus 19:19,

When the sound of the shofar grew louder and louder, Moshah spoke, and

Aluahiym answered him by a Voice.

Aluahiym responded as a witness through a voice: Aramaic, "from before

Aluahiym he was answered by a voice". A normal voice or breath grows weaker

as it progresses. This trumpet-like sound was, according to Ibriy tradition, the

words of the Torah going out in all 70 languages to the 70 nations besides

Y’ISCHRa’EL, but only Y’ISCHRa’EL chose to receive them. The descendants

who would later be dispersed throughout the whole world stood here within their

forefathers, and it was for their sake that the nations were offered the Torah as

well (cf. Romans 11). In Acts 2, traditionally on the anniversary of this date, the

covenant was renewed again (as Abraham's covenant was renewed here with

adaptations for the size of the nation now) with words in many languages and

tongues of fire. (See 20:18)

and that we should accept for ourselves the covenant that our ancestors

accepted for themselves, as they said we will do and obey,

Exodus 24:7.

He took the scroll of the covenant (the scroll of the Torah) and read it in the

hearing of the people, and they said, “All that YaHuWaH has spoken will we

do, and be obedient.” (" I/We Do.")

The fourth reason:

To remind us of the words of the prophets that were compared to the sound of

the shofar, as it is said: Then whosoever heareth the sound of the horn, and

taketh not warning, if the sword come, and taketh him away, his blood shall be

upon his own head . . . whereas if he had taken warning, he would have

delivered his soul,

Ezekiel 33:4-5.

then whoever hears the sound of the shofar, and doesn’t take warning, if the

sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on his own head.

Page 14: Day of Trumpets

[Borders: literally, extremities. Those whom others consider extreme are often

the ones who are best at guarding the territory, and this is done best on its edges.

They are usually not those known as leaders and rarely popular, but like half the

tribe of Menashe who were better at overseeing the tribes who wanted to live

east of the Yarden, YaHuWaH positions those who are best at the task where

they will be most useful. These texts are about Yom Teruach - the blowing of

the Shofar of warning.]

Ezekiel 33:5

He heard the sound of the shofar, and didn’t take warning; his blood shall be on

him; whereas if he had taken warning, [Take warning: or, receive teaching,

accept the light shone upon him, be admonished.] he would have delivered his

being.

The fifth reason:

To remind us of the destruction of the Temple . . . , O my soul, the sound of the

horn, the alarm of war,

Jeremiah 4:19.

My belly! My belly! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me;

I can’t hold my peace; because you have heard, O my being, the sound of the

shofar, the alarm of war.

When we hear the sound of the shofar, we will ask YaHuWaH to rebuild the

Temple.

The sixth reason:

To remind us of the binding of Isaac who offered his life to Heaven. We should

also offer our lives for the sanctification of His Name, and thus we will be

remembered for good.

The seventh reason:

When we will hear the blowing of the shofar, we will be fearful, and we will

tremble, and we will humble ourselves before the Creator, for that is the nature

Page 15: Day of Trumpets

of the shofar -- it causes fear and trembling, as it is written: Shall the horn be

blown in a city and the people not tremble?

Amos 3:6.

If a shofar is sounded in a city, won't the people tremble with fear? If there is a

calamity in a city, shall not YaHuWaH have done it?

Sounded: the particular term used refers to short, staccato notes that signified an

alarm due to an impending attack.

The eighth reason:

To recall the day of the great judgment and to be fearful of it, as it is said: The

great day of the Lord is near, it is near and hasteth greatly . . . a day of the horn

and alarm,

Zephaniah 1:14-16.

The Great Day of YaHuWaH is near. It is near, and hurries greatly, the Voice of

the Day of YaHuWaH. The brave man cries there bitterly.That Day is a day of

wrath, a day of distress and dire straights, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of

darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, a day of the shofar and

battle-alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements.

(shofar points to Yom Kippur; battle-alarm to Yom Teruah)

The Length of That Day:

The Type: Bereshiyth 8:14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of

the month, the earth was dry. (The "flood" of destruction was on the earth for

370 days while YaHuWaH's people (Noah and family) were safe in His ark.)

[This was 370 days after the flood began up to the time they emerged from the

ark ... or one year and ten days, at that time—the same length as the interval

between one Feast of Trumpets until Yom Kippur the following year.] - a 360

day year YahshaYahuw 32:10 For a few days beyond a year you shall be

troubled, (for a little more than a year you complacent women; for the vintage

shall fail. The harvest won’t come. ... YashaYahuw 34:8 For YaHuWaH has a

Day of Vengeance, a Year of Recompense for the cause of Tsiyown. 34:9 Its

[Edom's] streams shall be turned into tar, its dust into brimstone, And its land

Page 16: Day of Trumpets

shall become burning asphalt. 34:10 It won’t be quenched night nor day. Its

smoke shall ascend a long time. From generation to generation, it shall lie waste.

No one shall pass through it forever and ever. 34:11 But the pelican and the

porcupine shall possess it. The owl and the raven shall dwell in it. Then He shall

stretch the measuring line of chaos over it, and the plumb line of emptiness

[waste]. [Chaos: Heb., tohu. Emptiness: or “waste”; Heb., bohu. These two

terms were used of what the earth became (Gen. 1:2) after a cataclysmic

judgment and just before being reconstituted for the use of humanity][Battle-

alarm: Heb, t’ruah, the term for the first day of the seventh month (Lev. 23:24),

this then will be the day when what is being described will fall in the annual

calendar.]

The ninth reason:

To remind us of the ingathering of the scattered ones of YISCHRaEL, that we

ardently desire, as it is said: And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great

horn shall be blown; and they shall come that were lost in the land of Assyria . .

. and they shall worship the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem,

YashaYahuw 27:13.

It shall happen in That Day that a Great Shofar shall be blown; and those who

were perishing in the land of Ashshuwr, and those who were outcasts in the land

of Mitsrayim, shall come; and they shall worship YaHuWaH in the Qodesh

Mountain at Yahrushalom. [cf. Yirmeyahu 23:7-8]

Matt. 24:31 He shall send out His Messengers with the sound of the Great

Shofar [Day of Atonement], and they shall gather together His chosen ones from

the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

[YashaYahuw 11:12 He shall set up a Banner [Anointed] for the nations, and

shall assemble the outcasts of Ysra'al, and gather together the dispersed of

Yahuwdah from the four corners of the earth] Deut. 30:4 If any of your

outcasts are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there will YaHuWaH

your Al gather you, and from there He will bring you back:[this is the gathering

of His living ones - the dead were raised 10 days earlier at Yom Teruach] (Note

Page 17: Day of Trumpets

* 24:31: The Great Shofar is blown on Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement),

and also in the introduction of, the Jubilee Year. - the dead are raised 10 days

earlier at the" " last shofar" - Day of Trumpets . (Torah and Testimony clarified

translation)]

Tehillim 50:3 Our Aluahiym comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours

before Him. It is very stormy around Him. 50:4 He calls to the shemaya above,

to the earth, that He may judge His people: 50:5 “Gather My Set-apart ones

together to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by slaughter.”

Zech 9:14-17 " YaHuWaH shall be seen over them [Yahuwdah & Ephriam];

and His arrow shall go flash like lightning; and the Master YaHuWaH shall

blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. 9:15 YaHuWaH

Master of Armies shall defend them; and they shall destroy and overcome with

sling stones; and they shall drink, and roar as through wine; and they shall be

filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar. 9:16 YaHuWaH their Al shall

save them in that Day as the flock of His people; for they are like the jewels of a

crown, lifted on high over His Land. 9:17 For how great is His Goodness, and

how great is His Beauty!" [Yom Kippur deliverance!]

Great shofar: an element of Yom Kippur ceremonies. Perishing: or being

exterminated. Outcasts: those thrust out, or those banished. From what follows,

it is clear this is speaking about the Northern Kingdom.

The tenth reason:

To remind us of the resurrection of the dead and the belief in it, as it is said: All

ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is

lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the horn is blown, hear ye,

YashaYahuw 18:3.

All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a Banner

is lifted up on the mountains, look! When the shofar is blown, listen!

Page 18: Day of Trumpets

2 Cor 11:2

espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to
