Trust the Promise-keeper: How to stand firm as the Earth reels

"Lessons from God's appointments: Trust the Promise-keeper. How to stand firm as the Earth reels." Adobe Firefly AI layered-paper style image for Yom Teruah, showing an Asian man standing in strong stance with his fists raised up while tumultuous waters and swirled skies are around him.

יוֹם תְּרוּעָה Yom Teruah (Day of Blowing [Trumpets], Num. 29:1; Lev. 23:23–25, aka Rosh Hashanah) is an annual Biblical wake-up call to remember our Creator and His eternal purposes. In a world chasing after false idols of self-actualization, we would be wise to heed the voice of the Prophets, who revealed the true path of repentance, lawfulness and love for God and neighbor.

This study explores how as lawlessness increases in the world, the people of the Holy One of Israel must stand firm, not compromising the foundations of the 10 Commandments. The outpouring of God’s Spirit is not for self-promotion, but to transform hearts and restore the land. In the face of coming judgments, we must trust the one true God — the I Am, Who was, is, and is to come — and find our strength in Him alone.

Mercy of Heaven on display at Rosh Hashanah

Mercy of Heaven on display at Rosh Hashanah (Yom Teruah, Trumpets)

Just as the trumpet blast during Rosh Hashanah (aka Yom Teruah) and God’s other appointments were calls to awe and joy in Heaven, so too, the resurrection and transformation on the Day of the LORD will be a happy time — for those with their hearts tuned to Heaven’s station.

Amid all the disasters foretold to be coming on the world during this time, there’s the good news that the Messiah will be bringing the misery of a sin-stained world to an end.

Wake-up call for the coming meeting between mankind and God

Feast of Trumpets: Wake-up call for the coming meeting between mankind and God

Blowing a trumpet is meant to draw attention to a particular event. Whether it’s a call to arms or a call to remembrance, when one hears a trumpet or shofar blast, it’s a sound that cannot and will not be ignored.

Yom Teruah — the Feast of Trumpets — the first of God’s fall appointments is a call to repentance and to prepare to face God in judgment, which is memorialized 10 days later on Yom Kippur — the Day of Atonement.

One can’t help but connect Trumpets to the seven trumpets of Revelation. And in this study, we will see more deeply the connection between this festival and God’s preparation of the Commonwealth of Israel (Eph. 2:11–22) to face the final judgement.

Interpretations of the book of Revelation are numerous, but one key to understanding the mysterious imagery is to find where the same images appear earlier in the Bible. Discover in this study on the Feast of Trumpets how the account of the Exodus and the writings of the prophets Joel, Zechariah, Isaiah and others reveal how the seven trumpets of Revelation point to judgment starting at the house of God.

Who fears God’s voice? Meaning of trumpets in Revelation, Torah and Prophets

3 angels with trumpets

“Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice” (John 18:38 NASB). The Day of Blowing Trumpets (Yom Teruah, aka Rosh haShanah) is an appointed time that comes every year, but it’s also a prophecy of a future appointed event. Are you ready? These 10 Days of Awe between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) were given to us as a reminder to prepare our hearts to welcome God’s voice and the coming of God’s Anointed, Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Christ), rather than run from them in fear of judgment.

When God calls you, move without hesitation

The reason for the high holy day of Yom Teruah, the Day of Blowing (Trumpets) aka Rosh HaShanah (New Year), is not as obvious as all the others. As we “look under the hood,” we find that it calls us to accept godly change without hesitation.

Song of Moses, song of the redeemed (Deuteronomy 32)

Being “Torah-observant” is not a “holier than thou” pursuit of perfection. Rather, it’s about listening to the Creator, observing where our lifestyles diverge from Heaven’s instructions and seeking return to the LORD’s ways. That restoration is possible by the perfect Atonement Offering, the Mashiakh (Christ). That’s the lesson of the Torah reading הַאֲזִינוּ Ha’azinu (“listen”) and a good preview of Yom haKippurim (Day of Atonement).
