The prophetic 5th Festival of the seven God appointed meetings with Him,Ā Rosh HaShanaĀ was observed one week ago. Its Biblical name isĀ Yom Teruah, lit. āThe Day of Blowingā, usually translated as the Feast of Trumpets. The sound of the ramās horn, based on various scriptures, is the sound of crying out to God. It is a wakeup call toĀ prepare for Godās coming judgement and an expectation of a coming King.

Rosh HaShanaĀ began an intenseĀ ten days of individual prayer and retrospection, seeking forgiveness and forgiving, and putting wrongs right. It culminates inĀ Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, when the Jewish nation comes before God in long, solemn prayer services, seeking forgiveness. This year,Ā Yom KippurĀ begins on Sunday night and it too is prophetic and awaiting fulfilment. We read Danielās description of a Judgement Day at the end of days in chapter 7:9-14. Revelation 20:4 and Matthew 25:31-46 also refer to a day of judgement.

Then, five days later, the most joyous feast of all the Feast of Tabernacles, Sukkot meaning ābooths or sheltersā, is celebrated for seven days. It is also called zāman simchateinu, meaning āThe Time of Our Rejoicingā. It is a joyful celebration, enjoying the Presence of God as He commanded in Leviticus 23:40, āYou shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.ā
Ā
It is a time of remembering the wilderness journey and Godās care. āYou shall dwell in booths for seven days, all native Israelites shall dwell in booths, that your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt.ā Leviticus 23:42- 43.
