"To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn" (Isaiah 61:2
).
The world celebrates too many holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Valentines Day...among others that are basically human traditions and obviously originate from Pagan religions. But sadly, Biblical Holy Days was unpopular...in fact, generally it was not mention in the mainstream media. The world ignores Biblical Holy Days but don't be surprise by these, the Bible told us that this world is ruled in general by evil spirits.

One such Holy Day commanded by God that we must observe is The Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah. This celebration fall this year on September 24, 2012 base on Hebrew calendar.
LEVITICUS 23
23 Then 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 sabbath-rest, a memorial of
blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you
shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.'"
This 5th feast was instituted by Moses at Sinai approximately 3,500 years ago. It marks the first day of the Hebrew (civil) new year. 'Rosh Hashanah' means 'head of the year'. The Feast of Trumpets is the first of the three, yet to be fulfilled, Fall Feasts of Israel.
The feast of trumpets reminds me of the 7 trumpets of the Book of Revelations.
To Biblical Christian this feast signify an important event. The Feast of Trumpets is a unique festival. The sounding of the trumpets mark the intervention of God into the history of mankind. Understanding Biblical Holy Days might shed light to the unfolding of world events. Will God finally send Jesus Christ back to earth as a conquering King?
Recent world events can also give us clue to where we are going. Like for instance, about my earlier article on the controversial Muhammad video that outrages Muslim worldwide. It is no accident that it coincides with the 9/11 attack on World Trade Center. The escalating tension between Japan and China, with our very own problems on Scarborough shoals by Pres. Noynoy pushing forward the "western Philippines seas" to be recognized by UN. Middle Eastern countries are in political turmoil. The US election...
Expect cleansing around this time...and more Satanic attack...

I am writing these blog to make everyone of you aware...yes it is Okay to be weary at this time. Tribulations is not an easy passage. Don't be caught like the men and women of Noah's time, drinking and partying but unaware of the judgment that is coming their way. The blowing of trumpets is a sign, the call of God. Are you ready to enter the ark?
"For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in." (Rom 11:25 NKJ)
I'll be discussing more of these God's Holy Days on future blog to better understand what are the coming events. That is in double time since the clock is ticking.
I suppose these festivals must be still celebrated in Israel?
ReplyDeleteYes they still do Jerly...
ReplyDeleteAs for the reasons that Christians must celebrate, we can not find verses that tell us that these Holy Days should be removed. In fact, Sabbaths is an everlasting covenant.
How long does our creator God want us to keep His Feast Days? Leviticus 23:14, 21, 31, and 41 say the Holy Days are a "statute forever." And one must recall that Leviticus 23:4 says that the Holy Days are directly tied to the 'seasons' of the year. These 'seasons' have not yet ceased. The sun and the moon are still giving us the 'seasons' or 'appointed times' of the year just as when they were created during the Creation week. So by this we have a witness that the Holy Days were established by God (YHWH) Himself and we also see they are perpetual. In the Psalms we see support that God's covenant was commanded to a thousand generations, Psalm 105:5-8, 10.
Matthew 5:17-19 Think NOT that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. Jesus said those things.
Thanks for your time Jerly.
