Apocalypse Of The Trump – Shofar Notes And Numbers – The Sound Of A Mystery?

The shofar is an ancient traditional Hebrew instrument, a natural trumpet, made from a ram’s horn.

Note in the above text it says the voice of the shofar.
The Hebrew word for voice is KOL…. Click link below for an interactive post on the Voice.

The Hebrew word is shophar:

a horn (for blowing)

שׁוֹפָר

Pronounced: sho-FAR or SHO-far,

 

shophar {sho-far’}; from shaphar in the original sense of incising; a cornet (as giving a clear sound) or curved horn, cornet, trumpet.

Strongs # 7782 Lev. 25:9

Plural: shofarot

It is sounded during the month of Elul, on Rosh Hashanah, and on Yom Kippur.

This first blast of the shofar horn is believed by the Jewish faith to open up the gates of heaven. It is the Voice/Kol of God announcing His presence/declaring His throne manifesting in our midst. 

Shophar

The shofar and Yom Teruah – day of blowing of trumpets –

Blowing the Rams Horn.

A shofar is the horn of an animal that in most cases is twisted. There are three specific types of horns used to make shofarot; the ram’s horn, African kudu horn (later to become a Yemenite shofar), and the African Gemsbok horn (a straight horn).

These horns are from kosher animals that have a horn which can be hollowed out (not the antler of a deer).

Below are other types of horns:

  1. Cattle horn shofar (nonkosher),

  2. Kudu shofar,

  3. Ibex shofar,

  4. Aoudad sheep shofar,

  5. Water buffalo shofar (questionable if kosher),

  6. Partially-straightened ram’s horn shofar,

  7. Fully-twisted ram’s horn shofar,

  8. Blackbuck shofar,

  9. Pronghorn shofar. Most animal horns are hollow and can theoretically be made into shofarot. (Although some are pasul, disqualified, such as that of a cow.) Horns that are not hollow may not be used as shofarot, even if they are drilled through. Antlers, the branched horns of deer, may therefore not be used as shofarot since they are not hollow. Although the horns of pronghorns superficially resemble deer antlers, they are, in fact, hollow and therefore kosher. However, it is preferable not to use the pronghorn shofar because it is not curved.

  10. Gemsbok shofar

God said to Moses/Mosheh,  Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘The appointments of Yahuwah, which you are to proclaim as set-apart proclamations.  These are my appointments.  There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a set-apart proclamation.  You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to Yahuwah.  These are the appointments of Yahuwah – set-apart proclamations which you are to proclaim at their appointed times.

These are the Appointed Times of the Hebrew cyclical calendar.

Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה), literally meaning the

head [of] the year

and is the Jewish Civil New Year.

The biblical name for this holiday is

Yom Teruah (יוֹם תְּרוּעָה),

literally,

day of shouting or blasting.

Because the roots of its use, go so far back through the millennia, it is literally a blast from the past! and maybe it’s where we get that saying from?

The Shofar Blasts

The ram’s horn is blown on the Autumn/Fall Moedim days in three specific ways.

Sounds of the Shofar.

 There are three types of sounds that are blown with the shofar:

a tekiah, a steady blast;

a shevarim, a broken note; and

a teruah, a shattered quavering note;

The shofar-blower can only control the number, length and clarity of the notes, sounded not the key or pitch”

The Shofar is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, in reference to its ceremonial use in the Temple and to its function as a signal-horn of war.

The sound of the shofar is comparable to the trumpet-blasts that announce the coronation of a king.

According to Hebrew tradition, it was on this day, Rosh Hashanah, God created the world and assumed the role of its’ Sovereign; and in the sounding of the shofar we acknowledge Him as our King.

Rosh Hashanah is the first of the 10 Days of repentance; in Hebrew it is called Teshuvah and means Return. The promise of Teshuvah is that no matter how far we have strayed from our soul’s path, we can find our way back. The root, SHUV, means to TURN.

Rosh Hashanah is

Pronounced: roshe hah-SHAH-nah, also roshe ha-shah-NAH,

Always on the 1st day of the 7th month and falls on a new moon.

The Torah describes the first day of the seventh month;

1st of Tishri = Rosh ha-Shanah as a

Zikron Teruah,

Memorial of Blowing;

Lev.23

and as a

yom teru’ah

day of blowing;

Num. 29.

This was interpreted by the Jewish sages as referring to the sounding of the shofar.

Appointed Times of Leviticus 23:3 which in Hebrew is:

Moedim – pronounced, MO eh DEEM

The Moedim are times to give thanks to the LORD for all He has done…. Rejoice in the Lord always!

Notice that the Hebrew calendar is divided into two equal parts of exactly six lunar months each; both of which center on redemptive rituals and end with harvests.

The Moedim: the Appointed Times of God. He has set-apart, (Holy), precious times, to meet with His beloved.

Note in the chart above, the use of Gods’ Name as Yahuwah. This is taking the Hebrew letters of YHWH (often pronounced Yaweh); and adding vowels, (vowels are not present as letters in the Hebrew Alef Bet as in English Alphabet.) YaHuWaH.

Yeshua/Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, came and gave us a full understanding of the springtime Appointed Times and He has promised to come again and also fulfill the Autumn/fall Appointments.

MOEDIM

מועדים

Comprising the Hebrew Letters:

(open) mem – vav/waw – ayin – dalet – yod – mem
(closed)

(Hebrew reads from right to left)

and in paleo pictograph letters, both Moed and Moedim:

Moed is pronounced mo-ade’

מועדים

(Note the variant shape of the open/first letter M as the shapes changed over the centuries. Shown in charts further down in post.)

Strongs # 4140 Or moled {mo-ade’}; or (feminine) moweadah (2 Chronicles 8:13) {mo-aw-daw’}; from ya’ad; properly, an appointment, i.e. A fixed time or season; specifically, a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an assembly (as convened for a definite purpose); technically the congregation are typically called, Jewish holidays/Yamim Tovim but in the Bible are referred to as God’s feast days.

Moa’dim in Hebrew means appointments or rehearsals. They are found in Leviticus 23 and each are called a shadow of things to come. (Col. 2:16-17).

God designed the universe itself, (the sun and moon and the whole planetary structure); in order to point to and regulate the Festivals, the Moedim. Thus, the Moedim are first and foremost…

a part of the creative order,

not merely

a part of the covenant

made with Israel at Sinai.

So from the foundation of creation,

God set within that creation His Moedim -(rehearsal and appointed times,) in order to remind us of His eternal plan.

This is the pattern of the Moedim, invisible yet imprinted within the seed of every woman. Of those who become pregnant, an apocalypse/revealing begins as a new chaim/life develops within her.  Click link for the apocalypse/the revealing of this mystery.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-season-of-our-hiding/

The Moedim represent Gods’ plan of salvation for mankind.

As we have seen the Hebrew word for appointment, appointed time, place, or meeting is   

מועדים

Meanings of the letters:

Mem: the pictograph is of water like the waves of the sea and comes from the word mayim meaning waters, as in seas with abundant life. Symbolized by water, for the way that many living things can be pulled out even referring to the waters of childbirth. Mighty massive, many chaos(like the deep, to come from like water down a stream.)

Think of: The water/ word that washes us clean. The Blood that purchases us and saves us. To question as in the wonders of the sea. Mightiness as in the size of the sea. Chaos as in the storms of the sea.

Vav: The pictograph for Vav looks like a tent peg or nail. The meaning of the word vav is hook, as in a connecting hook used when the mishkan (tabernacle) was constructed; giving the meaning of joining together, making secure, becoming bound or nailed to.

Ayin: the pictograph is the eye. Look, appearance, to see, understand, experience, to be seen, a fountain. Spiritual sight and vision, to watch, to know. His word and His Spirit/Ruach coming together in our souls.

Dalet: the tent door, a path, a way of life. Jesus/Yeshua is the door. Movement back and forth, in and out of the door. Also means dangling or weakness, as in hanging ones head down. The 4 dimensions of Space and Time as in length, breadth, depth and height.

Yod: Arm and Hand Work, what a person makes, Actions what a person does, Throw. A hand closed or closing upon, to work, a deed done, a finished work.

Mem: The closed Mem at the end of the word has the same meanings as the open Mem at the beginning of the word. Mayim begins and ends with the same letter. Waters and is always plural.

These letter meanings when put together give a pictorial insight of the Moedim.

The Pictographs for MOEDIM could read something like this:

Moedim are like the ever moving waters MEM of the ocean they are never still, and life is like that too. It is in constant motion flowing forward, like the cycle of the Moedim.

Following them brings abundant life. From out of chaos comes order, as deep calls unto deep. Then as we are born the first time, we come through the waters of childbirth. Next, as we are born again by His spirit, we are washed cleansed first by His blood and then by the washing of the waters of baptism and then by His Word, the river of Life.

We become connected by covenant VAV, joined together.

As we become His tabernacle on the earth, we become safe and secure, becoming bound to Him and remember the VAV, nails, that made this relationship possible.

We then have our eyes AYIN opened and see His wonders and His mightiness.

We see AYIN more and more clearly as we experience and understand His Ways, His Moedim and Jesus/Yeshua so clearly in them all. Our spiritual sight and vision is increased and increasingly finely tuned as His Ruach leads us day by day.

The DALET, the door Jesus/Yeshua Himself is our path our Way of Life and we in our weakness depend on His strength as He leads us, we follow Him and we go into Him. The Moedim are action and declare to us that the deed was done and His life was a finished work.

As the MoediM are cyclical, every year the beginning reaches the end, which is also the new beginning.

Mem to Mem – Open Mem to closed Mem. And like the water it is a picture of, the MoediM and life, keep flowing. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest will also; according to His promise and are celebrated annually in the MoediM. The picture of creation and of continuance and of fulfilled promises to us the bride of His covenant.

 

Below is a chart showing all the letters in early Paleo script, (used until 1st century A.D.) and modern Hebrew.

Moed is pronounced mo-ade’

A common nomenclature/terminology for this Moed is calling it, the Feast of Trumpets. The truth is, it is not a feast in the cycle of annual Moedim/Appointed Times and is only linked with trumpets/shofars or rams horns by inference.

The Biblical Hebrew name for this Moed/Appointed Time is

Zikhron Teru’ah 

The term Rosh Hashanah does not actually appear in the Torah, but rather is referred to as the

(Memorial of blowing [of trumpets

or a memorial with the blowing of horns], Lev. 23:24)

or Yom Teruah 

(Day of Blowing [trumpets] Num. 29:1)

Yom Teruah יוֹם תְּרוּעָה

The Ancient Paleo Hebrew meaning is that: God stands in the crossroads to judge. He is judge over every authority and household. He will judge every spirit in righteousness and truth. All the earth will rejoice in His justice.

The term Rosh Hashanah literally means head of the year. However, was not applied to this Moed until the 2nd Century A.D. more than 1,500 years after the institution of the Holy-day, holiday.

With the Temple destroyed and the Jewish people scattered after the Roman destruction of Jerusalem; observation of the day had to be changed.

Rosh Hashanah is celebrated as the Jewish New Year.

The unique feature is wrapped up in the phrase zik’ron t’ruah, which is rendered Remembrance – zik’ron

or a

remembrance of blowing with loud blasts of sound.

Zichron Teruah

זכרון תרועה

(Vayikra/Lev. 23:24)

Therefore, zik’ron t’ruah or

yom t’ruah/Yom Teruah – יום תרועה

Bamidbar/Num. 29:1

would be more accurately translated as memorial/day of loud blasts (of sound).

So we are remembering or memorializing something; caused by, or done in conjunction with, loud blasts of sound.

 Teruah: Phonetic Spelling: (ter-oo-aw‘) Definition: a shout or blast of war, alarm, or joy.

The word teruah, (root: resh, vav, ayin); points us in various directions. While it clearly means a loud sound, sometimes it is a loud sound of war or threats, and other times it is a loud sound of joy or praise.

The word teruah, in its various forms, appears over 30 times in Tanach.

 While teruah refers to the short blasts (of the trumpet or shofar) and

tekiah תקיעה refers to the long blasts,

the verb – taka -תקע – simply means

blowing on an instrument

(regardless of the length of the blasts).

Klein writes that the verb fully means to thrust, clap, give a blow, blast.

The word Zichron

is sometimes translated as

memorial,

but this Hebrew word also means

to mention,

often in reference to speaking the Name of God. E.g., Ex. 3:15; Is. 12:4; Is.26:13; Ps. 45:17 [Heb. 18].

One Greek word was used for both shofar and trumpet – Salpiggi

salpigx: a trumpet

Original Word: σάλπιγξ, ιγγος, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: salpigx
Phonetic Spelling: (sal’-pinx)
Definition: a trumpet
Usage: a trumpet, the sound of a trumpet.

Strongs#4536 sálpigks – properly, a war-trumpet (WS, 797) that boldly announces God’s victory (the vanquishing of His enemies).

In the Old Testament, trumpets were used to called God’s people to war, and to announce victory wrought by Him. Which was a military clarion that proclaimed the Lord inspired and empowered the victory on behalf of His people.

[“The trumpet was the signal employed to call the hosts of Israel to march as to war, and is common in prophetic imagery (Is. 27:13). Cf. The seventh angel (Rev 11:15)” (WP, 1, 193).

Trumpets in the OT summoned God’s saints for His righteous wars (Nu 10:9; Jer 4:19; Joel 2:1). See also Lev 23:24,25; Nu 10:2-10; Ps 81:3.]

The shofar is used to call people to Teshuvah/repentance, and many think that judgment day will be on the day referred to as the day of memorial which is a call to repentance.

The Hebrew understanding of repentance is: (The burning of that which is behind).

Lev 23:24 is commonly called the Feast of Trumpets or Yom ha dinday of the blowing of shofar.

The Hebrew text has neither the word feast nor the word trumpet these are added English words in the translation!

The shofar is the instrument used in 1Cor. 15:52 and 1Thess. 4:16.

This Greek word salpiggi, is often translated trumpet, but from the context of Resurrection.

The last trump: The shofar would be used because resurrection is for judgment. Jewish scholars say, judgment takes place during the feast of unleavened bread in the spring. Whether it’s then or day of memorial, resurrection will probably be called by a shofar.

If Paul meant trumpet in 2 Cor. 5:10; the reference he was making would be to the Feast of Booths /Tabernacles/Sukkot; calling for the celebration of the eternal kingdom.

We are to remember the abundance of His greatness, the expanse of His strength the mighty acts of the Lord God and praise Him in His Holy Place. (Since Jesus/Yeshua made the WAY, we ourselves are now His sanctuary.) In the glorious splendor of His majesty, we remember the One who gives us Chaim (lifes), and we return to Him every breath He gives to us, in praise and loving adoration.

We remember what we were and the life that once was and marvel at the unconditional love that caused the One who bore the penalty of sin, in our place. He lost His life that we may be found and we are raised to life everlasting, abundant and victorious over the finality of death. A death that would have meant eternal separation from His presence,

Do we ever really fully comprehend the reality of salvation?

We have so very much to remember and praise Him for.

Ps.81:3 gives insight indicating this occurred on either the 1st or 7th month.

The shofar was blown at the temple to begin each Sabbath. There was an inscription on the inside wall of the Temple that said:

To the place of the blowing of the trumpet [shofar].

Recently, there were archaeological excavations at the southeast area surrounding the Temple Mount, in an area called the Ophel. Amongst the debris of stones from the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70, archaeologists actually found a piece of stone with the above inscription. (Zangla, 1998)

When the second Temple was destroyed the stones were scattered all over the place, but most ended up close the Temple, near the present Western Wall.

This stone which was discovered, was one of the top cornerstones. In the times of the Temple, the priests would gather at these cornerstones and blow the trumpet (shofar) to announce it was

Yom t’ruah/Yom Teruah – יום תרועה.

This stone has this inscription on it:

The Place of Trumpeting.

So, this cornerstone now actually gives us an association between the Temple and the

Zichron Teruah,

yom t’ruah/Yom Teruah – יום תרועה.

Of course Yeshua/Jesus is our true cornerstone.

He has now made His tabernacle within His Bride. Since Shavuot/Pentecost, there is no need for any special building, but prophecy reveals that the next Temple will be rebuilt by the Jews, many still unaware of who their Messiah is.

There are numerous prophecies indicating that there will be a new Temple built on the Temple Mount. Scripture says it will be the Temple in which the antichrist proclaims himself to be god at the half-way mark through the tribulation; so it could indicate that if we can establish when the Temple will be rebuilt, it may be possible to approximate when the tribulation period will begin.

Arthur Finkle shares the following significant purposes of the shofar: “The shofar is prescribed for the announcement of the New Moon and solemn feasts (Num. x. 10; Ps. lxxxi. 4), also for proclaiming the year of release (Lev. xxv. 9).

The first day of the seventh month (Tishri) is termed “a memorial of blowing” (Lev. xxiii. 24), or “a day of blowing” (Num. xxix. 1), the shofar; the modern use of the instrument survives especially in this connection.

In earlier days it was employed also in other religious ceremonials, as processions (II Sam. v. 15; I Chron. xv. 28), or in the orchestra as an accompaniment to the song of praise (Ps. xcviii. 6; comp. ib. xlvii. 5).

More frequently it was used as the signal-horn of war, like the silver trumpets mentioned in Num. x. 9 (see Josh. vi. 4; Judges iii. 27; vii. 16, 20; I Sam. xiii. 3). 

The shofar is used in the desert, on the temple mount, during the times of Rosh HaShanah (Yom Teruah) and Yom Kippur, as well as in the end of days.

The shofar was also blown at the following occasions:

The sound of the shofar is analogous to the trumpet-blasts that announce the coronation of a king. On Rosh Hashanah, God created the world and assumed the role of its Sovereign, and in the sounding of the shofar we acknowledge Him as our King.

Rosh Hashanah is the first of the 10 Days of Penitence/Teshuvah, and the shofar is sounded to stir our conscience, to confront our past errors and return to God, who is ever ready to welcome the penitent.

The shofar is reminiscent of the revelation of God at Sinai, which was accompanied by the sounding of a shofar. It thus reminds us of our destiny — to be a people of Torah, to pursue its study and to practice its commandments.

The sound of the shofar is reminiscent of the exhortations of the prophets whose voices rang out like a shofar in denouncing their people’s wrongdoing, and in calling them to the service of God and man.

The shofar reminds us of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, and it calls us to strive for Israel’s renewal in freedom and in fellowship with God.

The shofar summons us to the feeling of humility before God’s majesty and might, which are manifested by all things and by which our own lives are constantly surrounded.

The shofar is a reminder of the Day of the Final Judgment, calling upon all people and all nations to prepare for God’s scrutiny of their deeds.

The shofar foreshadows the jubilant proclamation of freedom, when Israel’s exiled and homeless are to return to the Holy Land. It calls us to believe in Israel’s deliverance at all times and under all circumstances.

The shofar foreshadows the end of the present world order and the inauguration of God’s reign of righteousness throughout the world, with a regenerated Israel leading all people in acknowledging that God is One and His name One.

Where does the phrase last trump come from?

In Judaism there are 3 recognized shofarim or ram’s horn trumps.

They are the first Trump,

the last trump, and

the great shofar.

These shofarim should not be confused with the two silver trumpets called chatzatzerah in Numbers 10.

The first trump and the last trump relate to the two horns of a particular Ram.

According to Jewish tradition the Ram caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah when Abraham was ready to slay Isaac and offer him up as a burnt offering.

Post Apocalypse of The Teruahs Cry

https://www.minimannamoments.com/apocalypse-of-the-teruahs-cry/

The first reference the Voice of God announcing His presence was Exodus 19:16

שׁוֹפָר on the top of Mount Sinai

an instrument (not necessarily musical) used to shout to God in a different way. God’s voice on the mountain sounded like shofarot (Plural of the singular shofar) to the Hebrews at Mt Sinai.

Something to think about. When the shofar is blown at anytime, is it an extension of the soul, is it a shout unto the heavens?

It is a reminder to the hearer to wake from spiritual slumber.

Could shofarot and shouts be counted as one and the same in the scriptures? 

If we believe in the Messiah of the Brit Hadasha/New Testament, HIS return will probably be announced with the sound of the shofar at God’s specific timing. If we are not listening / hearing we may be caught unaware.

Timing is everything in the scriptures. From the gathering of Israel around the tabernacle in the wilderness, to the fall of Jericho, and from Messiah’s birth to HIS return.

We recall what happened when both shouts with voices and with the shofar were released; huge walls fall at their sound as at Jericho.

Jericho in Joshua 6:20 is another scriptural connection between T’ruah and the Shofar.

The wall fell flat – a closer reading of the scripture reveals that it was the people, not the shofar, making the T’ruah. T’ruah is the sound of people shouting, yelling, or otherwise making loud sounds with their mouth (pey/fey).

Elsewhere in scripture t’ruah is the sound of alarm from the silver trumpets

Numbers 10:5 B’midbar

These silver trumpets are for the temple and are called chatzatzerah in Numbers 10.

Also spelled in Strongs#2689

chatsotsrah: (an ancient) trumpet

Original Word: חֲצֹצְרָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: chatsotsrah
Phonetic Spelling: (khats-o-tser-aw’)
Definition: (an ancient) trumpet

 

The sound of the shofaron,

Yom Hakipuriym

in the year of Jubilee –

A shout of praise. 1 Sam. 4:5-6; Ezra 3:11.

A shout of joy. Job 8:21; Ps. 89:15 and the playing of musical instruments Ps. 150:5 in other words loud blasts of sound.

Mmm is not claiming to be expert on any subject, especially when discussing issues from the scriptures, simply offering information upon which to ponder.

Next let’s look at the Paleo Hebrew Pictographs and see if there is any further apocalypse/revelation…..

שׁוֹפָר

Sheen/Shin +Vav +Fey/Pey + Resh/Reysh

Shen/shin/sheen

is the letter God uses to identify Himself. Meaning: sharp, to consume, destroy.

The ruach/spirit, the fervent ardency, the intense, fiery, consuming, passionate, POWER of His being/His essence.

VAV/ UaU/VAW

It’s the letter that joins together a nail or peg. Meanings: ownership, custody, purchased, WAV binding together as one in and through Messiah/Mashiach. We are grafted into the branch.

Fay/Fey-F/PH; Pay/Pei Pey

Pey can also look like this:

Mouth, To speak or, to open.

Brit Chadashah speaks of the Renewed covenant. We can see Pei, a mouth open, words of life or death and we are to choose life. Luke 6:45. Messiah is the way, truth and the life. Life abundantly, and our mouths are to open ready to share the gospel message. Showing the entrance, the way, the door, the beginning of new life. (80 is 8 x 10 and is the number of Yeshua/Jesus and of new beginnings.

R – RESH REYSH

Person/head or leader.

A messianic interpretation:

The first mystery is that God is identifying Himself and was connecting Himself to Moses so that he could speak with him. Gods’ Holy presence, which was announced by the shofar, was so terrible that Moses was filled with fear!

The VAV connects what is on the right to what is on the left within the word shofar. …Sheen says, God has already identified Himself from one side… so what is on the other side?

The letters on the other side are letters pey and reysh. They make a word of their own, originally found in Genesis 12:16. This word is translated as ox Judges 6:26. It’s the word used for a bullock that Gideon offers as a sacrifice for sin. The fear created by sin, caused the great divide/separation, between God and us. This is because of His Holiness and our sinfulness.

However it is the very same God who provides the sacrifice/Himself, that is the AT ONE MENT for that sin bringing reconciliation between Himself and us. For the Hebrews is was just once a year at Yom Kippur.

Heb. 9:13-14 points us to the ultimate sacrifice, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkled, was a sanctifying action. How much more the blood of Messiah!

The bull/heifer was a mere type of the ultimate sacrifice.

Part 2 will conclude.. The Apocalypse of the Trump

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…Don’t put it off one more moment…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’ name. Amen.

You are now Born Again by the Holy Spirit of the Living God and you are part of the ever growing family of believers. You will never be the same again!

Are We Blowing Our Own Trumpets?

In the above verses, we see that The Lord is commanding us to have a memorial of blowing trumpets every year on the first day of the seventh month of Tishri,(September), and He calls it a “holy convocation.” 

In other words, a wedding rehearsal!

The offering that we make to Him on this day is an offering by “fire.” 

In other words, our own lives are to be presented to Him as a living sacrifice. We allow the fire of the Ruwach ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit) to purge and purify our lives so that we will be ready for the day when He returns to catch away His bride.

Jesus/Yeshua, is coming for a bride without spot or blemish. We must be purified by going through trials and tribulation in order to be ready for “The Day That No Man Knows!”At the conclusion of the 1,260-day ministry of the “Two Witnesses,” the “seventh angel” will sound (Revelation 11:15) and then the bride shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye at the “last trump.”

Revelation. (Chazown) 11:12-15 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them…And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Master, and of his Mashiyach (Messiah); and he shall reign for ever and ever.Some scholars say there are 3 and some say 4, different trumpet blasts sounded on the Feast of Trumpets. The number “4” represents “the four corners” of the earth (the harvest field) and the “four angels” of the “four winds of heaven.”Chazown (Revelation) 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. These 4 types of trumpet blasts are as follows:

 Trumpet #1.) is called the Tekyiah (T’kiyah) The Tekiah – A pure unbroken sound that calls man to search his heart, forsake his wrong ways, and seek forgiveness through repentance.

It can consist of one note (or blast) or it can be a low note near the fundamental tone of the horn that rises quickly about 3 notes higher. Finally, it can even be finished by a note that is a full octave higher.

Contrary to what is expected, it does not take a great deal of air to blow a shofar. The secret is the vibration of the lips (a minimum of 16 vibrations per second) that creates the vibration of air in the horn. The higher notes are obtained by tightening the lips.

Trumpet #2.)

The second sound is called the Shevarim (Sh’varim) Shebarim – A broken, staccato, trembling sound. It typifies the sorrow that comes to man when he realizes his misconduct and desires to change his ways. It sounds like a man moaning in repentance.

It consists of three blasts that are from the fundamental low to the next note up.Great playing shofars are ones that will produce three notes with relative ease. Some shofars (for various reasons) may produce only two notes and poor ones only one note. Each horn will have its own “voice” and sound in many keys. The texture of the finish, size, length and the diameter of the mouthpiece opening will vary the sound of the horn.

Trumpet #3.)

The Third sound is called the Teruah (T’ruah, teruwah) The Teruw’ah

It is Strong’s word #8643 8643 teruw` ah (ter-oo-aw’); from 7321 (ruah); clamor, i.e. acclamation of joy or a battle-cry; especially clangor of trumpets, as an alarum: KJV- alarm, blow (-ing) (of, the) (trumpets), joy, jubile, loud noise, rejoicing, shout (-ing), (high, joyful) sound (-ing).The same word is used for the “Shout” that is made with the voice! It was the “shout” of the shofars combined with the “shout” of the people that brought down the walls of Jericho. – A wave-like sound of alarm calling upon man to stand by the banner of Elohiym.

Teruah consists of 9 staccato notes in succession. It may be proceeded by a one-note tekyiah and may be finished by accenting the last note. Some will accent it and take it up a third. I believe that the Teruah is the “short blasts of alarm” as specified in Numbers 10:9.

Teruah means “an awakening blast”. A theme associated with Rosh HaShanah is the theme “to awake”. Teruah is also translated as “shout”.

In I Thessalonians 4:16-17 it is written:In I Corinthians 15:51-52 it is written:

“Behold, I show you a mystery, a sud,* we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at THE LAST TRUMP: for the TRUMPET (shofar) shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed”

(sud* = deeper spiritual meaning, explained in an earlier post)

Trumpet #4.)  

There is another blast called The Tekiah Gedolah (Great Tekyiah).  – The prolonged, unbroken sound typifying a final appeal to sincere repentance and atonement.

Some consider a fourth sound but it is simply a tekyiah held as long as breath lasts or is appropriate. Some shofar blowers can hold a note for over a minute!This 4th Trumpet is “the last trumpet” sound made on the Feast of Trumpets and this represents “the four angels from the four winds of heaven and the four corners of the earth” as they gather the elect (Matthew 24:29-31). Seven trumpets (shofars) are sounded when God judges the earth during the tribulation. Judaism concerns itself with three shofar calls of God. They are called the first trump, the last trump and the great trump.

The first trump was blown at Mount Sinai. The last trump is blown to signify the resurrection of the dead and may be blown on Rosh HaShanah. The great trump will signify the Second Coming of the Lord and is blown at Yom Kippur.According to other scholars, there are only two trumps, the first at Mount Sinai (Ex 19:19). and the last (great) that is blown by God (Yeshua) Himself at His return on Yom Kippur. (Isaiah 27:13, Zech. 9:14, Matt. 24:29-3I, 1st Thess. 4:16-17, 1st Cor. 15:52).

LISTEN HERE TO THE SOUNDS OF(Sounds take 10 seconds to begin.)

  Once the horn of a ram, the shofar has been cut off and taken through a cleansing process, making it an instrument separated from any purpose other than responding to breath, (ruach), passing through its chamber. We the servants of the King, are maturing in the same process in the school of the Holy Spirit. (Ruach HaKodesh)From where specifically does the phrase last trump come?

In Judaism there are three recognized shofarim or ram’s horn trumpets.

They are the first Trump, the last trump, and the great shofar.

These shofarim should not be confused with the two silver trumpets called chatzatzerah in Numbers chapter 10.

The first trump and the last trump relate to the two horns of a particular Ram.According to Jewish tradition the Ram was caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah when Abraham was ready to slay Isaac and offer him up as a burnt offering.

This ram became the substitute and was sacrificed in place of Isaac, even as Yeshua the Messiah became the substitute for us and provided Life for us through His death.

In Pirke deR’Eliezer, (a rabbinic work,) it was said the left Horn, (first- trump), was blown on Mount Sinai when the Torah was given and it’s right horn, (the last trump), will be blown to herald the coming Messiah/Moshiach.The Midrash, (Hebrew Commentary), claims that the two horns of the ram became the two trumpets, which in Hebrew is, the shofarot of God.

  The right horn was larger than the left, and thus concerning the days of Moshicah it is written,’on that day, a great shofar will be blown.’ (Tz’enah Urenah)Was not the ram burnt as a burnt offering together with its horns, skin and flesh? So how are there horns?

The answer is that undoubtedly God performed a miracle and created a new ram out of the ashes. The Ram was resurrected!Some believers have suggested that it is a reference to a prophetic vision. Perhaps what is being implied is that when Abraham looked up, he saw not only this ram caught in the thicket, but he saw a future sacrifice, one that would come long after his day.

“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.” (John 8:5-6)

What did Abraham see? Perhaps he saw the Lamb provided by God.

Was this particular ram created for this purpose since the first days of creation? In other words, Isaac’s ram was prepared for sacrifice since the foundation of the world. In the same way, Peter described the Master as “a lamb without blemish or defect, chosen before the creation of the world.” (1st Peter 1:19-20)

THE THREE TRUMPETS (SHOFARIM) OF GOD

The three great trumpets (shofarim) that mark MAJOR events in the redemptive plan of God are associated with days in the Biblical calendar. The FIRST TRUMP is associated with and was seen as being blown by God on the feast of Shavuot, (Pentecost), when God gave the Torah at Mount Sinai.

In Exodus (Shemot) 19:18-19 it is written:”And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. And when the voice of the TRUMPET sounded LONG and waxed LOUDER and LOUDER, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice” Patterns of sound, released from this instrument in faith and understanding and at the direction of the Holy Spirit, is one of the most powerful agents of change on the planet. Spiritual forces in the heavens understand fully and must respond to that sound. Portals/windows and doors in the heavens are opened and earthly atmosphere becomes charged with the power of the Most High.Spiritual forces and obstacles resisting His kingdom are removed, the heavens shift, walls fall down, and His people move forward to possess their inheritance and fulfill their destiny. All of creation longs for the mature ones of God to awaken and appropriate the sound of the victory won. נִצָּחוֹן (nee-tsah-KHOHN) is a victory.


Netzah is the Hebrew word for victory, or endurance; it represents God’s active grace in the world. The name YHVH Tza’va’ot is associated with Netzah.

The trumpets of Israel announced the coming of kings and kingdoms, the approaching of armies. So it is prophesied that when the trumpet sounds, the kingdom of God will come.

The trumpets called the people of Israel to gather before God. So it is prophesied that at the sound of the trumpet, God’s people will be gathered up to His presence.The sound of the trumpet was a wake-up call. So it is foretold that when the trumpets sound, the dead in Messiah will be awoken.

Lastly it was the sound of the trumpet that announced the beginning of the kings reign. So it is foretold that when the trumpet sounds, the reign of the King will begin, the kingdom of this world will become the kingdom of the Lord.The Feast of Trumpets/Yom Teruah/Rosh HaShanah and the Holy days of autumn are just as much a part of the Re-New-ed Covenant, as are the Holy days of spring.

They tell us that our faith, is not only in what was, but is in what is yet to come, as in Messiah. We live FROM salvation and yet, TO redemption, and we are above all, a people of hope. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God and the perishable cannot inherit the imperishable but there is a mystery awaiting us all….. at the sound of the last shofar in the twinkling of an eye the dead will be raised and transformed into immortal bodies. Techiyat ha-metim. When this happens death itself will be swallowed up in victory. Since Jesus our Lord delivered us from the curse of the laws verdict against us, on account of God’s love and grace; then we can rejoice that love is stronger than death. The ultimate victory over the ravages of sin will forever be reversed on behalf of Jesus our Lord and Redeemer.Your kingdom must now come on earth as it is in heaven.

The very last time that the word “trumpet” is mentioned in scripture is in Revelation 9:14 and it is when the four angels from the four winds of heaven are about to be loosed to gather the bride (the elect).This trumpet is about redemption! The first time God who called Himself, I AM / YHWH / Yaweh (YaHuWaH) established covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15:9, a three-year old ram was killed (symbolic of the three year ministry of Messiah). When Abraham offered up his son Yitzchaq (Isaac) to I AM / Yaweh / YaHuWaH, a ram was seen with his horns “caught” in the thicket as a substitute offering. so the “trumpet” or the “ram’s horn” is prophetically connected to covenant, redemption, freedom and deliverance!The term, ‘blowing our own trumpet’, is used in modern vernacular, as telling everyone proudly about your own achievements in a boastful way.

This is the world’s way, not the Lord’s Way.However as believers in Jesus our Messiah, it is indeed time to ‘blow our own trumpets’ …and in this instance it’s OK!… for the King is Coming!

The Legend Of Messiahs Missing Shofar

Who will sound the ‘last trump’, spoken of in 1Corinthians 15:52  Elijah? Jesus? Sounding the Horn of the Messiah from Jerusalem, Israel.

“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 Ashur, and they that were dispersed in the land of Mitzrayim; and they shall worship Hashem in the holy mountain at Yerushalayim.” Isaiah 27:13 (The Israel Bible™)One of the landmark holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City, the Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakai Synagogue was built at the beginning of the 17th century.The synagogue is believed to stand on the location of the original study hall of Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakai.He was a major rabbinic and scholarly figure in the Second Temple era, quoted throughout the Talmud.Johanan ben Zakai on the Knesset Menorah

Though it is impossible to say with absolute certainty when the Messiah will come, in an ancient synagogue in Jerusalem’s Old City, a shofar and jug of oil are patiently waiting on a high shelf for His arrival!

They are replacements for the originals, supposedly rescued from the Second Temple amidst Roman destruction, which disappeared in the heat of the 1967 battle for Jerusalem.Legends and mysteries surround the simple items   The synagogue is known for many things, but its most remarkable element could easily go overlooked. On the southern wall, on a glass shelf far too high to be readily accessible, sit a jug of olive oil and shofar. Tradition has it that when the Messiah arrives, Elijah himself will appear to blow the shofar and anoint Him with the oil.The shofar, or ram’s horn, is usually identified with Rosh Hashana, or Yom Teruah,

the Jewish New Year, when 100 blasts are traditionally blown from the shofar.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/midweek-mannabite-the-sound-of-the-trumpet/Usually shofars belong to individuals, who practice year-round, not to the synagogues themselves, making the Ben Zakai shofar unusual. They are among the most significant ritual items in Judaism.The shofar was used regularly in the Temple service,

and Jewish tradition holds that the sounds of the shofar will announce the arrival of the Messiah, just as they greeted the ancient kings of Israel.Many of these inhabitants of Jerusalem would be working in the fields or grinding at the mill (Matthew 24:40-42), and when they heard the sound of the shorar/showphar (trumpet) they knew that their work was finished. Our Messiah was speaking in the language of, ‘Feast of Trumpets’ typology, when He said that we must “work while it is yet day, for the night comes when no man can work” (John 9:24). Those who were working in the fields had to run towards the temple before the doors were shut. The person who was alert and listening for the sound of the shofar was “taken” by the sound of the trumpet; this was his signal to run towards the temple. But the person who was not alert and not watching, would not hear the sound of the trumpet, and they would be “left” in the field or grinding at the mill, unaware that the day had come.To Shimon Gantz, the manager of the synagogue today, told Breaking Israel News that he recently spoke with one of the first IDF soldiers to enter the Old City in 1967 after the Israeli liberation.Chief Military Rabbi Shlomo Goren at the Western Wall in 1967 shortly after the liberation of Jerusalem. (Wiki Commons)

Jerusalem – The Zion Gate – Hebrew שער“He told me that he entered the Old City via the Zion Gate, and immediately sought out the synagogue. His platoon arrived here when the battle was still raging. They were horrified to see the way it had been treated. It was vandalized and full of the worst kind of garbage.

But he also said that he was sure he saw the original jug of oil and shofar on the high shelf, untouched.

“Unfortunately, by the time the battle for the city was over and Jews re-entered the synagogue, the shofar and oil were gone,” Gantz told Breaking Israel News.

The shelf stood empty until 1978, when Yitzchak Navon, then-President of Israel, visited the synagogue.Accompanying President Navon was an elderly Jew who had prayed at the synagogue before the Jordanian occupation in 1947. Navon noticed his companion looking up at the empty shelf and asked what he was looking for. The man told Navon about the oil and shofar, obviously pained and disappointed at their absence. Navon promised to replace them. Later that year, a shofar and jug of oil were placed there by the president of Israel, and they remain on the shelf until today.Anyone can buy or own a shofar, making the Navon shofar special only in its connection to Israel’s modern history.From simple ram’s horns to ornate, silver-plated instruments,and gold plated the horn of the Messiah is available to all,  “In the past three years, we have sold hundreds of shofars in the months leading up to Rosh Hashana to Jews and Christians around the world,” he said.“Many of our customers, especially of Christian faith, are awaiting the end times and are purchasing shofars in order to be able to herald the arrival of the Messiah themselves,” Kellman added.But that doesn’t mean the Messiah’s own shofar is not still out there, waiting…..

In fact, a curious anecdote from Dr. Yahav Shmaryahu, the synagogue’s long-time caretaker, adds a new twist to the story. Three years ago, a small group of men approached Dr. Shmaryahu, asking for special permission to pray in the synagogue at midnight. While they were praying, one of the men looked up and at the shelf and shook his head in disappointment, telling Dr. Shmaryahu that the shofar was not the original.

“I knew this was the case, so this didn’t surprise me,” Dr. Shmaryahu told Breaking Israel News, “But then he claimed the original shofar was in his possession, and when the time came, he would return to the synagogue to blow shofar!!”

All that remains is for each of us to be ready spiritually and on that day, whoever blows it, we WILL hear the shofar sound of the Last Trump.
