Shalom.

As several post cards and email well-wishes I have received remind me, Rosh Hashanah is being celebrated in 2014 from sundown on Wednesday, September 24, to nightfall on today on September 26. I would particularly like to thank CY from Brooklyn for the card wishing me and those I love "a year of peace, health and happiness." The card came to me yesterday at a particular low point and I was touched and renewed by its simple sincerity. Thanks, CY and Shalom to you and yours too.

Today, Sept.26 is also the start of a shmitah (Sabbath or Sabbatical) year....with prophetic significance. Coupled with (4) tetrad blood moons falling on Feast Days of the Lord....it may be part and parcel for the "signs in the heavens" God uses to communicate with us and warn us of things to come.

Only two other times in the last 100 years have tetrad blood moons fallen on feast days....just after Israel became a nation and just before the 6 Days War wherein Jerusalem was retaken.

Things are coalescing in such a way that the next year *may* produce something extraordinary: Economic collapse, wide spread warfare; even visitation by "Aliens" who may give their power to an "Anti-Christ".

Biblically, Yom Teruah (the feast of trumpets) starts at the sighting of the first sliver of the new moon, which will be tonight. It is the feast of which was said, "No man knows the day or the hour" because the feast could not start until the sighting was verified by two witnesses. The first sliver was not seen last night in Israel, so no doubt it will be bright enough to be seen tonight.

The feast was later called Rosh Hashanah, which means "Head of the Year," and the Rabbis made up a calendar that didn't rely on the actual sighting of the moon for any of the feast days since at that time they were no longer in Israel to mark the seasons. Now that we have believers in Israel, there is no reason to keep using the Rabbinical calendar and we can go back to God's calendar.

Therefore this evening will be a double Sabbath, Yom Teruah and the weekly Sabbath.

Have a great Yom Teruah, Mike! We will be blowing the shofar, and I'll do a blast for you!

The new moon has been sighted in Israel; Yom Teruah begins this evening!

And what is the significance of Yom Teruah (or the Day of Trumpets) AKA Feast of Trumpets?

It signifies an announcement of coming judgement of YHWH (God). Blowing of the shofar can be in celebration, in announcement, in preparation/warning for war or of impending attack.

Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) happens 10 days before Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement)....another Feast Day (festival) of the Lord wherein man's sin is atoned for through sacrifice. Fasting is only required once per year....on Yom Kippur.

Yeshua will likely return on Yom Teruah/Day of Trumpets(at the 7th Trump of Revelation). He will fulfill the fall feasts in his second coming as he did the spring feasts in his first coming.

These "Feasts of the Lord" are your true "Holy-days" (holidays), Christians....as commanded by the Bible to be kept FOREVER; not the pagan ones you've adopted and twisted to fit whatever it is you wish to claim that pagan day is about.
