Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet (shofar in Hebrew) in Zion,
and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land
tremble: for the day of the LORD is coming, for it is near at
hand;
This Sunday night begins the feast of Rosh Ha Shannah, or Yom
Teruah -- the Feast of Trumpets. At the end of the summer the Hebrews are
commanded to blow the shofar -- the ram’s horn, all day long. The sound
of the shofar was a sound of alarm -- it told the people to get ready. It
marked in the calendar that the summer harvest was over and the day of
atonement was near and it was time to stand before God.
The feast of Trumpets is amazingly prophetic. Right now we are in
the midst of the great harvest and the next major event is the sound of the
trumpet -- just before the great day of the Lord. Within the feast of
trumpets contains a personal message for us. It’s God’s wake up call:
We don’t have forever! We only walk through this life once -- and as
quickly as steam rises from hot water and quickly disappears, so it is with
our lives. Soon it will be past and we will stand before our Maker. If we
are going to do great things for Him -- now is the time! If we need to
repent for anything -- now is the time. The Lord commands us to arise and
shine and let our light shine throughout the world! The shofar is sounding,
the summer harvest is nearing completion, and the day of the Lord is near.
Become God's shofar, sound His warning
of judgment and radiate the love He's given us through His Son, that those
around you will be able to stand pure before God! (George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah)
