The Mo'edim: Yom Teruah - 119 Ministries

hello and welcome to another teaching from 119 ministries our ministry believes that the whole Bible is still true and directly related to our lives today if you would like to know more about what we believe in teach please visit us at test everything net chalo when learning about applying the whole word of God one of the first topics of interest always becomes the moa deem Yahweh's appointed days holy days or holidays if you will these are the days our Creator gave us to celebrate him and to prophetically learn about what our Messiah did and still must do while there are many opinions held concerning the holy days we want to do our best and present in a general overview we simply want to help give a better understanding to these important days in the eyes of Yahweh many have looked at these days as just being for the Jews however we know that the Jews do not represent all 12 tribes of Israel plus we know that these were given to all who choose to follow Yahweh including Gentiles numbers 15 the community is to have the same rules for you and the alien living among you this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come you and the alien shall be the same before Yahweh the same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the alien living among you for more on how there is one law for all please watch our teaching the mixed multitude in this teaching will present some basics on yom teruah some might be familiar with this mode as Rosh Hashanah or also the day of trumpets we will discuss the different names in this teaching as well yom Torah is a moet or an appointed day but it is not a feast day as covered in the Passover teaching in this series there are three feast days according to the Torah all feast days are Modine but not all Modine are feast days leviticus 23 is a torah hotspot for our creators holidays so it makes sense to start there Leviticus 23 and Yahweh spoke to Moses saying speak to the people of Israel saying in the seventh month on the first day of the month you shall observe a day of solemn rest a memorial proclaimed with a blast of trumpets a holy convocation you shall not do any ordinary work and you shall present a food offering to Yahweh it is also found in numbers 29 on the first day of the seventh month you shall have a holy convocation you shall not do any ordinary work it is a day for you to blow the trumpets and you shall offer a burnt offering for a policing aroma to Yahweh one bull from the herd one Ram seven male lambs a year old without blemish also their grain offering of fine flour mixed with the oil three tenths of an ephah for the bull two tenths for the ram and one tenth for each of the seven lambs with one male goat for a sin offering to make atonement for you besides the burnt offering of the new moon and its grain offering and the regular burnt offering and its grain offering and their drink offering according to the rule for them a pleasing aroma of food offering to Yahweh Yama is the only appointed time that falls on the first day of the month or the new moon Alma Adam and new moons are to include a blasting of trumpets numbers chapter 10 verse 10 on the day of your gladness also and at your appointed feasts and at the beginning of your months you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings over the sacrifices of your peace offerings they shall be a reminder of you before your God I am Yahweh your God outside of the instructions solely for the Levites we see that there is not a lot of detail prescribed and the observance of this day we are to rest and make a loud noise it's about as simple as it gets the appointed days exist to teach us about what the Messiah has done and/or will do in the future there is not a lot to prophetically go on in scripture as it relates to Yong true except for the word Torah itself so we will start there the phrase translated to a blast of trumpets is from the word Torah which is where the name of this originates yom Torah or the day of shouting or the day of trumpets taurua is translated as shouting alarm of war or battle cry a blast for marching or a shout of joy shouting in scripture is often correlated with joy and praise Psalm 47 clap your hands all peoples shout to God with loud songs of joy psalm 66 shout for joy to God all the earth Psalm 81 sing aloud to God our straight shout for joy to the God of Jacob Psalms 100 make a joyful noise to Yahweh all the earth here are some interesting verses containing the Hebrew word Torah Numbers chapter 10 when you blow an alarm the camps that are on the east side shall set out numbers 23 he has not beheld misfortune and Jacob nor has he seen trouble in Israel Yahweh their God is with them and the shout of a king is among them for Samuel for as soon as the ark of the covenant of yahweh came into the camp all israel gave a mighty shout so that the earth resounded job chapter 33 then man prays to god and he accepts him and he sees his face with a shout of joy and he restores to man his righteousness shouting trumpet alarm all means of making a loud noise for various purposes so yom teruah contains not only shouting of his people but trumpets as well we also saw such activity at Jericho and in the context of the day the Lord at a messiahs return we find an interesting verse which also reminds us of Jericho a day of trumpet blasts and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements so continue to keep the theme of shouting blowing trumpets joy and the start of war in mind as we consider the prophetic implications of this day later in the teaching if you recall Jericho contained a moment of shouting by the people this was prefaced by a sound of a ram's horn or a trumpet Joshua chapter 6 and when they make a long blast with the ram's horn when you hear the sound of the trumpet then all the people shall shout with a great shout teruah and the wall of the city will fall down flat and the people shall go up everyone straight before him in Leviticus chapter 23 verse 24 yom teruah is also referred to as iran to ruin the words Acron is sometimes translated as memorial or a remembrance often in reference and speaking to the name of Yahweh for example see these other verses the day of Zion teruah the memorial shout may be of importance is a day that we are to remember or memorialize something prophetically yom teruah is often associated or linked with the return of our messiah some reason is found in first Thessalonians where the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise first then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air and thus we shall always be with the lord therefore comfort one another with these words Matthew 24 immediately after the tribulation of those days the Sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light the Stars will fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens will be shaken then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory and he will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they will gather together his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other when the Messiah comes there will be a shout and a trumpet there will be great joy in those who believe and the Messiah declares war and judgment on the nation's these are themes that prophetically linked to this particular appointed day traditionally yom teruah begins a ten-day period leading up to Yom Kippur the Day of Atonement these ten days are called the yo meme NorAm or the days of all by tradition this sounding of the shofar on yom teruah is a wake up blast and a sober reminder that the day is near for the Day of Atonement this is an alarm it is a call to teshuva which is repentance and turning back to the commandments of Yahweh this tradition is likely not an invention of man Joel chapter 2 which we'll cover in a moment could be considered more core evidence related to young Torah existing as a called back to repentance for us and the reality of the start of the day of the Lord as our Messiah returns these 10 days are ones of great introspection heart searching and self-examination here's another portion of prophecy related to the beginning of the day the Lord when our Messiah returns note the usage of a trumpet as a wake-up call and sounding of alarm for his people for repentance Joel chapter 2 blow a trumpet in Zion sounded an alarm on my holy mountain that all the inhabitants of the land tremble for the day of the Lord is coming it is near a day of darkness and gloom a day of clouds and thick darkness like blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people there like has never been seen before nor will be again after them throughout the years of all generations fire devours before them and behind them a flame burns the land is like the Garden of Eden before them but behind them a desolate wilderness and nothing escapes them their appearances like the appearance of horses and like war horses they run as with the rumbling of chariots they leap on tops of the mountains like the crackling of a flame on the fire devouring the stubble like a powerful army drawn up for battle before them peoples are in anguish all faces grow pale like warriors they charge like soldiers they scale the wall they March each on his way they do not swerve from their paths they do not jostle one another each marches in his path they burst through the weapons and are not halted they leap upon the city they run upon the walls they climb into the houses they enter through the windows like a thief the earth quakes before them the heavens tremble the Sun and the moon are darkened and the stars withdraw their shining the Lord utters his voice before his army for his camp is exceedingly great he who executes his word is powerful for the day of the Lord is great and very awesome who can endure it return to the Lord yet even now declares the Lord return to me with all your heart with fasting with weeping and with mourning and rend your hearts and not your garments return to the Lord your God for he is gracious and merciful slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love as he relents over disaster who knows whether he will not turn and relent and leave a blessing behind him a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God blow the trumpet hiss I own consecrate a fast all solemn assembly gather the people consecrate the congregation assemble the elders gather the children even nurse and infants that the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber between the vegetable and the altar that the priests the ministers of the Lord weep and say spare your people o Lord and make not your heritage a reproach a byword among the nations why should they say among the peoples where is their God today few people remember the biblical name of yama true and instead it is widely known as rosh hashanah which literally means head of the year' and hence also new years the transformation of yom teruah day of shouting into rosh hashanah new years is the result of pagan Babylonian influence upon the Jewish nation the first phase in an adoption and evolution of these pagan ways was the adoption of the Babylonian month names in the Torah the months are numbered as first month second month third month etc while the house of Judah or Jews were in Babylonia the usage of the pagan Babylonian ma things began a fact readily admitted in a Tom mood the names of the months came up with them from Babylonia the Jerusalem Talmud the pagan roots of the babylonian month names is illustrated by the fourth month known as Tammuz in the Babylonian religion Tammuz was the god of green whose annual death and resurrection brought fertility to the world in the Book of Ezekiel the Prophet described a journey to Jerusalem in which he saw the Jewish woman sitting in the temple weeping over Tammuz the reason they were weeping over Tammuz is that according to Babylonian mythology Tammuz had been slain but had not been resurrected in ancient Babylonia the time for weeping over Tammuz was the early summer when the rain ceased throughout the Middle East and the green vegetation is burnt by the unrelenting Sun to this day the fourth month in rabbinical calendar is known as a month of Tammuz and it is still a time for weeping and mourning some of the babylonian month names found their way into the later books of the Tanakh but they always appear alongside the torah month names for example Esther chapter 3 in the first month which is the month of Nisan in the 12th year of King Aakash barouche this first starts off by giving a tour name for the first month and then translates this month into the pagan equivalent which is the month of Nisan we arrive to Esther all the Jews lived within the boundaries of the Persian Empire and the Persians had adopted the Babylonian calendar for the civil administration of their realm at first the Jews uses babylonian month names alongside the tour month names but as with anything over time the tour month slowly faded away this introduction of babylonian months paved the way and set the stage to adopt other babylonian ways many of the earliest known rabbis such as Hillel one were born and educated in Babylonia indeed Babylonia remained the heartland of rabbinical Judaism until the fall of the guy own eighth and eleventh century CE II that Babylonian Talmud abounds with the influences of Babylonian paganism indeed pagan deities even appear in the Talmud recycled as Jewish angels and demons one of these more serious charges to our creators calendar was the introduction of yom teruah has been a New Year's celebration from the very early times that Babylonians had a lunar solar calendar very similar to the biblical calendar because of this young Torah often fell out on the same day as the Babylonian new year's festival of a key to the Babylonian akitsu fell out on the first day of Tishri which coincided with a young Torah on the first day of the seventh month when Jews started calling the seventh month by the Babylonian aim Tishri it paid for the turning of yom teruah into a hebrew a key - at the same time that rabbis did not want to adopt a Kito out right so they Hebrew NIH's dit might change in the name of yahushua day of shouting - rosh hashanah new years the fact that that tour did not give a blatant reason for the observance of yom teruah no doubt made it easier for the rabbis to proclaim it as a type of New Year's some simple research will reveal the contradictions of labeling yom teruah as the head of the year this biblical festival falls out on the first day of the seventh month Leviticus 23 and Yahweh spoke to Moses saying speak to the people of Israel saying in the seventh month on the first day of the month you shall observe a day of solemn rest a memorial proclaimed with a blast of trumpets a holy convocation however in context of Babylonian culture this was perfectly natural and it became natural for the house of Judah as well thus it is still today that Babylonians actually celebrated a key to new years twice every year once on the first atissue and again six months later on the first of Nisan the first Babylonian akita celebration coincided with yob Torah and the second Akito coincided with the actual new years in the Torah on the first day of the first month while the rabbi's proclaim young truant to be new years they still recognize that the first day of the first month in the Torah was as the name implied also in new years they could hardly deny this based on Exodus chapter 12 which says this month shall be for you the beginning of months it is first of the months of the year the context of this verse speaks about the celebration of the feast of unleavened bread which falls in the first month in light of this verse the rabbi's could not deny that the first day of the first month was a biblical New Year's but in the cultural context of Babylonia where Akito was celebrated as new years twice a year it made perfect sense that Yantra could be a second New Year's even though it was in the seventh month in contrast to babylonian paganism the Torah does not say or imply that yom teruah has anything to do with new year's on the contrary the feast of Sukkot which takes place exactly two weeks after yom teruah is referred in one verse as the going out of the year or the turn of the year some modern rabbis have argued that yama is actually referred to as rosh hashanah in his the akhil chapter 40 which describes a vision that the prophet had at the beginning of the year rosh hashanah on the 10th of the month in fact ezekiel chapter 40 verse 1 proves that the phrase rosh hashanah does not mean new year's instead it retains its literal sense of the head of the year referring to the first month in the torah calendar the tenth day of Rosh Hashanah in Ezekiel chapter 40 refers to the tenth day of the first month what about Leviticus chapter 25 verse 9 some people have argued that yama should be considered new years because it is the beginning of the sabbatical year however the Torah not say that Yama is the beginning of the sabbatical year and all indications are that the sabbatical year begins on the first day of the first month the Torah does say the following Leviticus 25 then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month on a day of atonement you should make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land this verse is saying that a trumpet or a shofar should be used to announce the arrival of the Jubilee year the 50th year in the sabbatical system it does not say that Jubilee begins on the day of atonement only that the impending arrival of the Jubilee year is announced on the day of atonement the shofar is to be passed around the land on Yom Kippur of the 49th year six months before the beginning of the coming Jubilee year this interpretation is supported by the immediate context in Leviticus 25 verse 8 says to count 49 years verse 9 says to pass the shofar throughout the land and verse 10 says to proclaim the fiftieth year after the Jubilee this shows that the shofar announcing the coming jubilee in verse 9 is passed through the land before the Jubilee is actually proclaimed in verse 10 this makes sense because it allows ample time for people to prepare for a coming Jubilee year it's a six-month warning if you will in summary yom torah is the first appointed time or mo ad that occurs in the fall there is a biblical connection to a reminder of calling us back to the Word of God to teshuva or repent is a day that we rest and make a loud noise a loud noise can be a shout but it is also correlated with a shofar and/or trumpets the loud noise is correlated with joy and praise back to our Creator a call or start of war and alarms who wake us up back into repentance prophetically yom teruah could be related to our Messiah's return in which we are called to be ready in repentance experience the joy of his return give praise back to our Creator and the war or judgment to the nation's by our Messiah may begin yom teruah is often called rosh hashanah by Jewish tradition this Jewish tradition likely derived from Babylon and their worship of false gods and their respective holidays we prefer to use the Hebraic wording of yom teruah or perhaps the english equivalent is the day of shouting or the day of trumpets we hope that this teaching has blessed you remember continue to test everything Shalom in Genesis we learned that the Sun Moon and stars are the perfectly ordained time pieces of our Creator each of course are designed to teach us how to biblically calculate the days months and years yet there is so much confusion Orthodox Jews have a version of the biblical calendar carryi Jews have a version of the biblical calendar even still many more have their own versions of the biblical calendar how are we to make sense of all this there are a few topics that inject more confusion into the body of the Messiah than trying to understand the calendar how can we all be one when we are all divided how are we to calculate his appointed times what does the Word of God really teach his Word teaches that two to three witnesses establish a matter we bring you the witnesses and ask you to test everything watch in amazement as the Torah the prophets and our Messiah I'll teach in one Accord the one true biblical calendar time our creators
