TISHREI 1 - FEAST OF TRUMPETS
SEPTEMBER 29, 2011
This is the 1st day of the 7th month - Tishrei 1. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! It is called by many names; Rosh Hashanah, New Year, Feast of Trumpets, and Judgement Day. We have gone through the 6th month Elul, for Preparation and Purification. May the shofar be heard in us, through us and around us.
"Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "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. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD." Leviticus 23:23-25
When reading the Prophets, Book of Revelation and Jesus' prophetic discourse of end-time event; it is important to have some knowledge of the (7) Feasts of Leviticus 23. This is the Sacred Calendar of Prophetic events, everything prophetic revolves around this. Without understanding of this Calendar one can not really unlock the deeper prophetic codes in Scripture. Here are a few examples below:
NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY OR THE HOUR
This is the Olivet Disclourse where Jesus gave clues and codes regarding the period of time we have come to. I am sure that the Preterist, people who believe that all prophecies have been fulfilled, will not agree.
"And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world (age)?" Matthew 24:3
Jesus went on to tell us many clues to look for, so that we may be able to identify the time frame in which He spoke of. Many of the clues are very astrological and relevant to events we are already seeing. Then Jesus made this statement, it has been very much misunderstood because most people are not familiar with the Sacred Calendar and customs. Here's what He said:
"But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Matthews 24:36
The Judeans that He spoke to understood the terminology. There is only (1) Feast day or holy day when studying Leviticus 23 that no one knows when it comes. Because no one knew when it came, it was celebrated on more than one day. Even today it is celebrated 2 days because the ancient people did not know when it started.
How could they not know? The Calendar of the Bible and most spiritual cultures is a Lunar-Solar Calendar. It is based on the cycles of the Moon. Today, we use the Gregorian Calendar which is a Solar-Lunar Calendar, based on the Sun. Daniel prophesied that one would come and change the laws, times, seasons. Pope Gregory XIII did that. Daniel 7:25
The Lunar Calendar is the natural Calendar that keeps humanity in harmony with God, nature and the universe. On a lunar calendar, a month can only be identified by the sighting of the New Moon. In ancient Israel, they "blew the trumpet in the new moon". Psalms 81:3 They blew the trumpet or shofar to let every know, it was Rosh Chodesh or the beginning of the month. This was important and yet is to enlightened cultures in Africa, Middle East and Asia; it means, you get a new start - new moments - new moon.
In late September through October, sometimes the weather in Israel was overcast. The appointed Moon watchers could not see the crescent New Moon the first night, and sometime not until the second night. There had to be two witnesses to announce to the High Priest the 7th month Tishrei had come. (Here's another clue for another subject in the Book of Revelation- the 2 Witnesses). After the two witnesses confirmed, the Trumpet was blown and by the time everyone heard it, maybe already two days had passed. This is why no man knew the day or the hour when the Feast of Trumpets came.
Why was this so important with the 7th month? This is the most important month on the Sacred Calendar, when the Sun is in Libra the Scales. The holiest day of the year is the 10th day of the 7th month, the Feast of Atonement, Yom Kippur. If they did not determine when the 1st day of Tishrei started, the high priest could not count 10 days to go into the Holy of Holies to make atonement for the people. He could only go into the Holy of Holies once a year to communicate with God. Furthermore, the "season of rejoicing" (Tabernacles) 5 days after Atonement could not have been observed. Everything was specifically timed with the movements of the heavens.
When Jesus mentioned no man knows the day or hour in the Olivet Discourse, those that heard him knew he was referring to the Feast of Trumpets - Tishrei 1, the 7th month. Looking a bit deeper, it was also a prophetic clue for an event that will happen soon in our time. No man 2000 years ago could know the day or hour; however, with Spirit and technology, it is possible to know. On a specific year, and day while the Sun is in Libra, an event that will be witnessed globally will take place.
PROVE IT!!
Did the Master not say, "As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be with this generation?" Didn't Noah know? "The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation...SEVEN DAYS FROM NOW I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made." Genesis 7:1 Noah knew and he told his family.
Did the Master not say, "As it was in the days of Lot..?" Didn't Lot know? Not only Lot, but Abraham and Sarah knew even before Lot because the angels told them. "The two angels said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here - sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, because we are going to destroy this place." Genesis 19:12-13
We must get weaned from the erroneous doctrines and traditions that have been passed down to us. We can know the day and some will know of the event that Jesus spoke of. We are not saying that you should go spend all your time trying to figure out this event. Many using human wisdom have erred many times trying to figure it out. All you have to do is walk in step with Spirit, watch and listen; you will know. If you don't hear directly, someone will tell you as Noah told his family, and Lot told his family. "The LORD will do nothing, but he reveals his secrets to his servants, the prophets." Amos 3:7
MORE INTERESTING INFO ABOUT TISHREI 1
(1) According to ancient tradition, today is Adam's Creation date, he became a living soul on the Feast of Trumpets, Tishrei 1 as the celestial trumpets sounded. Happy Birthday Adam!! In reality Adam does not exist, he was dealt with at the cross. He was crossed out.
(2) Some of you will be shocked, Jesus was not born December 25 - he is not a Capricorn. Jesus was born while the Sun was in Libra, a biblical fact. I used to believe during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sun yet in Libra) based on lot of scripture- I yet sorta believe that. But there is a strong possibility Jesus, the last Adam was born on the same day as the first Adam. That would be Trishrei 1- Feast of Trumpets, not Tishrei 15 - Tabernacles; while the Sun is in Libra the Scales. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS, the last ADAM!! If you feel like giving a gift to someone, do it. Giving is always good. If you feel like donating to a ministry that's good also. (Christmas in September)
(3) The Book of Revelation speaks about the Book of Life and names found in it. The writer John, being a Hebrew knew that would have deeper meaning than what most think today. According to ancient Hebrew thinking and based on the sacred Calendar - when the Sun is in Libra the Scales of Justice, the 1st day of the 7th month, it is called Judgement Day. It is believed that the Father looks in the Book to see whose name is written. If your name is written, it means the coming year, starting now would be a time of blessing and prosperity. This is one of the purposes for purifying in the 6th month. If your name is not written, it meant that the year would be very challenging.
We know that Jesus is the Book of Life. "Lo I come in the volume of the book..." We have been written in the palms of his hand, the prophet Isaiah said. Expect the blessing.
(4) Starting Tishrei 1, the next 10 days are called "days of awe." The Celestial Court is open, Satan your adversary has access to accuse you before God. Between Tishrei 1- Tishrei 10. On Tishrei 10, a verdict is rendered regarding what the next 12 months will be like for you. In the Book of Job, this is the period of time when the sons of God gathered. The Feasts of the 7th month were given to mirror on Earth and counter what is taking place in the celestial realm.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7 And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it." 8 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" 9 So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!"
Job 1:6-11
(We realize there are various views about Satan. We are only showing you that there are certain times or set times when negative spiritual entities have access to the Celestial Court).
"I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night." Revelation 12:10
What is this day and night of accusations? Is it a specific time? When would it be? It would have to be between Tishrei 1 and Tishrei 10.
This is why the enemy, the deceivers has made this season so confusing and said it is irrelevant for New Testament Christians. Paul said that we should not be unaware of the schemes of the adversary. We understand the works of the carnal mind being our biggest adversary, but we cannot deny what is called the "spirit realm".
The 7 Feasts instituted in Leviticus 23 are eternal, not in a legalistic sense or with animal sacrifices. As I often teach, if you align yourself with the heavens, you can receive the benefits of heaven. The Creator gave us the Feasts dates to benefit humanity. Pope Gregory XIII and others have tried to get rid of it to keep us ignorant of these power dates.
For the next 10 days, don't give place to the devil. Pull down the accuser that rises up in your mind. Give no power to those around you that would accuse you and don't allow yourself to become an accuser.
EATING PROPHETICALLY
Everything in the universe has an energetic frequency. We must learn to flow with nature, which is only mirroring the cosmos. Tishrei 1 & 2, today and tomorrow; if your diet/health allows, eat something sweet. An apples, melon, honey, or some other living sweet food/fruit. If you are in an area where you can not, use what you can. All is takes is a little.
Around 2400 years ago, the Wall and 12 Gates of Jerusalem were restored by Nehemiah. On the 1st day of the 7th month, Tishrei 1; the people gathered at the Water Gate. The Celestial Court was opened, accusations were being hurled by Satan - but the people were gathered to worship and counter every negative accusation. Revival, a move of the Spirit happened. This was the Feast of Trumpets, as Ezra, Nehemiah and others ministered.
And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength." Nehemiah 8:9-10
Eat the sweets and give to others- because the joy of the Lord is your strength. Why? Even til this day, it is a prophetic act on Earth that says, I believe God will give me and my family sweet things for the next 12 month. Prophesy today with your eating and release the blessings of goodness over yourself, family and others. Happy New Year - Be Blessed.
