RE: To Alex
Todah Rabah (thank you very much brothers.)
To Jews Roshashanah is the beginning of The New Year, celebrating the beginning of the world when God on the month of Trish (Sept15-Oct15) Created the heavens and the earth.
Then God commanded on this date that a feast of trumpet be established but didn't say why, and when it began exactly but by the New Moon cycles it could only be determined in those days.So it was the day and the hour that no one knew except God.
A watchman would sit upon the towers of the Temple and watch for the Full moon to raise then He would sound the First Trumpet and the Priest would declare "Roshashanah has begun", this was the first trumpet called the small trumpet or the Minor trumpet, then over 100 trumpets were sounded in the next 10 days, them with a last Blast the Holiday of Rest and special ceremonies would closed, this was called the Last Trumpet or the Major trumpet and in some cases the archangel trumpet.
So this is what Jesus refered to when He was asked when will he returned and what was the sign, when he said no one knows the day of the Hour ,the apostles as Jews knew he was refering to roshashanah, for thousands of years the Jews have said Roshashanah is resurrection day. Something that was also lost in the church .
So when Paul refer to the resurrection coming with a blast of the archangel shoffar ot the last Trumpet in thessalonians chapter 4 that is what Paul is refering to,NOW !in 9 days resurrection might begin and in 50 days the last Judgement as we enter another High Holiday Comamanded by God, Are you ready ? are you assured that you have asked for forgiveness of your sins by Yeshua?
If you are not sure Just asked him right now in your own words ask him to forgive you of all sins,a sk him to dwell in you, and thank him that he has forgiven you.
Shalom (Peace
