Called Rosh haShanah on the Jewish calendar, Yom Teruah contains many teachings that point forward to the return of Messiah Yeshua, echoed in the writings of the prophets of Israel hundreds of years before He arrived and in the decades after His return to Heaven.
Richard Agee explains that the Day of Blowing Trumpets, commonly known as Rosh Hashanah, is the start of the cycles of seven found throughout the Bible referring to “rest” (the Hebrew words for both “rest” and “seven” are similar): seventh day of the week is the day of rest, the Shabbat (Gen. 2:3; Ex. 20:8-10); every seventh year the land must rest (Ex. 23:11); seventh group of seven years, or the Jubilee (Lev. 25).
