Yom Teruah-Feast of Trumpets

^{The Mysterious Feast of The Lord}

I have just finished the Yom Teruah study. This is a special time for the Jewish world and should also be for Christians.

The Jewish folks are celebrating their High Holy Days this month. There are three Feasts that are celebrated during the Fall. There is one that just passed that is a mystery to most Christians, and that’s a pitty. You see, Yom Teruah is a biblical Feast straight out of the LORD YHWH’s commands. Even most Jews don’t really understand the significance of this mysterious Feast, that no one knows the Day or Hour of it.

No, not the 10 Commandments, but the Feasts of The LORD, or Holy Convocations, or Rehearsals which are called Moedim.

These Moedim have a very special and incredibly important part of His Story. They are part of the bigger prophetic picture that most Christians and Jews seem to know about, practice and really not understand, and I say this with the utmost respect to all Christians and Jews out there.

23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a rest, a memorial of trumpets: it shall be to you a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no servile work, and you shall offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord. — THE LORD in Leviticus 23 verses 23 to 25

The above verses is what God gives the Israelites…that’s it, nothing more nothing less for the 5th Feast of The LORD, and the 1st of the Fall Feasts. But there is so much more that meets the eye for this shortly explained Feasts. The Jewish Leadership or Sanhedrin would select two from their leadership to go to the highest places in Israel and wait. They would wait for this Feast they called the Feast that no one knew the Day or the Hour.

^{Now here’s the cool part, please, please pay attention:}

^{Yom Teruah is the only Feast with no new moon}. Yom Teruah or what people call Rosh Hoshana always, falls on the 1st of the 7th month, or Tishri (Leviticus 23).

This means that these two selected priests would go to the highest point in Israel, wait until they saw a sliver of light of the moon and would run back to verify with the Sanhedrin. After a series of verifications by the Jewish High Court, they would then deem that Yom Teruah was in fact here. Then the celebration of making noise would start.

^{The Importance for Christians}?

Now why this mysterious Feast? And why such a short explanantion given by God to Moses?

I believe that the explanation is found in the mystery of the Rapture. And the very little understanding of this big event. When Jesus was stating the fact that no one knew the day or the hour, first, He was speaking to His Jewish disciples. Second, was He stating that no one in fact knew the day or the hour of His coming back to earth, becasue I find this quite impossible to fathom. The fully Man, fully God Servant, Messiah, King, and LORD would not know when He was coming back? Specially when more scriptures specify that Jesus and the Father, and the Spirit are One….Please make sure you fully understand what I just wrote—

Jesus is God, He never denied this. There are too many verses in the Bible and, and too many prophetic scriptures that prove who He said He was, and is, and will always be— The Second Person of the Yah-Head or Triune. Jesus then, in all His power would have known what He was quoting. He was quoting from Yom Teruah, the Feast that no one knew the Day or Hour this mysterious Feast began. Since all of Israel would have to wait until the Sanhedrin or Jewish High Court officially declared the new moon which would start the 7th month, which would in turn, start the only FEAST which God did not give an explanation or meaning behind! It was a mystery Feast of God. Something that Paul of Tarsus spoke of in his letter to the Thessalonian church.

    Before going thru the Feast of Trumpets, which was the only Feast that the Jewish Leaderhip could not determine outright.
    We need to see the reasoning behind my theory, and again, if I am worng, I will gladly say I was! But, again, if we go by Jesus’ (Yeshua) fulfillement of each Spring Feast of YHWH (Exodus 12, Leviticus 21, Numbers 28-29) we will see an exact pattern & order.
    The Gospels mention some Feasts but as Christians, for the most part, we are not aware of the Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Feats of Weeks(Pentecost). All of the Spring Feats had a Jesus Fulfillement, and in exact order.
    
    Then we have the Fall Feasts of Yom Teruah or Trumpets which was switched to Rosh Hoshanah(New Year), Feast of Atonement or Yom Kippur, and the last one Feast of Tabenacles or Sukkot.
    If we see that Jesus came to fulfill the Spring Feasts in exact order, during His First Advent or First Coming, then we have to expect Him to come for us during the Feast of Trumpets, a day no one knows the day pr hour, and the only Feast that could not be calculated until the sliver of the new moon appeared. There were so many rules and regulations to this feast, that I spoke about and inluded here.
    Now, if we are expecting Jesus to fulfill the Fall Feasts(3 of them left), then the next order of events will be for those of us who believe in the Rapture (Harpazo #G726- caught up or snatched away), which makes more sense when you know the background of Paul saying what he says in 1 Thess 4:13-18. The Trumpet sound, the one Feast that even today is hidden fromt he world with a new name(Rosh Hoshannah)…here is the information for you to be a good student of the WORD; hope this helped…
    
    The term No one knows the day or the hour….how we use our idioms in modern times…it was a saying back in the 1st Century A.D.
    The reasoning is that this feast, unlike others in the biblical calendar with fixed dates relative to known events, begins on the first day of the seventh month (Tishri), and in ancient practice, the exact start of the month depended on the visual confirmation of the new moon—making it the only feast where the precise “day or hour” was not known in advance until officially declared.
    Key Rabbinic Sources on the New Moon Process (Which Causes the Uncertainty)
    The primary discussions are in the Mishnah (compiled ~200 CE) and Talmud Bavli (Babylonian Talmud, ~500 CE), in tractate Rosh Hashanah (which covers both the new moon sanctification and the Feast of Trumpets):
    Mishnah Rosh Hashanah Chapter 2 (especially 2:2–2:8) details the witnesses who sighted the new moon traveling to the Sanhedrin (even on Shabbat if needed), the interrogation process to verify their testimony, and how the court would declare the month sanctified only after credible reports. If no witnesses appeared by the end of the 30th day of the previous month, the next day automatically became the 1st of the new month.
    For example, Mishnah Rosh Hashanah 2:2 discusses cases where the moon was not seen at the expected time, and the court would not sanctify it prematurely.
    Mishnah Rosh Hashanah 2:7 notes scenarios where witnesses arrive late or are examined in pairs.
    Mishnah Rosh Hashanah 4:4 mentions that originally, testimony about the new moon could be accepted all day, but later restrictions were added for practicality.
    Talmud Bavli Rosh Hashanah (e.g., around 22b–25a) expands on these procedures, including debates over witness reliability, the possibility of the moon being visible sooner than calculated, and stories (like in 25a) about Rabban Gamliel accepting or rejecting testimony to illustrate flexibility in sanctification.
    These texts explain why the exact timing of Rosh Hashanah couldn’t be predicted with certainty in advance—it depended on human eyewitnesses sighting the thin crescent moon, weather, location, and court validation.

    Thanks, this is fantastic. But what I was trying to figure out was whether Messianic Christians just made up the idea the the phrase by Jesus “no man knoweth the day or the hour” referred to the feast of trumpets? Because a few websites have mentioned that it was a common idiom in Jesus day. I can’t find any definite historical quotes on this and I think it may be made up. I can see the pattern and the symbolism there. But websites have actually said that the term used no man knoweth the day nor the hour was a common expression referring to feast of trumpets back then. So I would like to see definite quotes to show that it actually was a common expression back then. Thanks for your time and God bless
