Per Fay Will the shofar (the last trump?) be sounded out across Jerusalem via these loud speakers? Will the arrival of our LORD Jesus be announced via these loud speakers? - Fair Use - Also thinking how neat that the speakers will be in place for the ministry of the 2 witnesses and 144,000! :whistle: Outrage as Israel installs loudspeakers on Temple Mount - report Jerusalem Post.com Jordanian and Palestinian officials expressed outrage after Israel reportedly installed loudspeakers next to the Temple Mount last week. Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned “ongoing Israeli violations against al-Aqsa” in a statement on Monday, according to Jordan’s official Petra News Agency. Daifallah Al-Fayez, a spokesperson for the ministry, stated that “The police actions are irresponsible tampering, unacceptable and constitute a provocation to the feelings of Muslims around the world and a flagrant violation of Israel’s obligations as the occupying power under international law.” The Waqf, an arm of the Jordanian Ministry of Sacred Properties, administers the Temple Mount site. The spokesperson warned against the “consequences of the continued breaches,” and called on the international community to pressure Israel to “stop the violations,” according to Petra. The Jordanian ministry also denounced the arrests of a number of Waqf officials in Jerusalem recently. The loudspeakers were reportedly placed by the Ablution Gate (Bab al-Matharah) along the Western Wall of the Temple Mount plaza, according to the Middle East Eye. This is the third time loudspeakers have been installed since 2017, according to the reports. The other two sets of loudspeakers are located near the Bani Ghanim Gate at the northwestern corner of the plaza and the Tribes Gate at the northeastern side of the plaza. The Middle East Eye reported that Israeli security forces entered the complex on Sunday after the Waqf refused them entry to the Tribes Gate minaret, and used ladders to climb onto the roof and install the loudspeakers. Palestinian reports claim the loudspeakers will be used to allow Israeli security forces to broadcast announcements and instructions to visitors to the site. Wasfi Kailani, executive director of the Hashemite Fund for the Restoration of al-Aqsa, told Arab News that the installation of the loudspeakers violates a century-old agreement preventing external intervention in Islam’s holy places. Jordan’s Awqaf Minister Mohammad Khalileh condemned the arrests of Waqf officials, calling them “attacks by the Israeli occupation forces on the staff of his ministry.” Ekrima Sabri, the former grand mufti of al-Aqsa, told the independently funded online news organization that he believes that the loudspeakers will be used to tighten Israeli control over the mosque. “The occupation’s measures against al-Aqsa are invalid and illegal,” Sabri told the Middle East Eye. “We do not recognize them. We hold the Israeli government responsible for violating the sanctity of al-Aqsa, because it is directly responsible for any aggression and it is the one that protects the settlers storming the site, encouraging them to increase their numbers.” Israel Police enforce a strict ban on Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount. The Jerusalem Post revealed in December that Jewish visitors to the site had started praying, undisturbed by police forces. According to some Jewish visitors to the site, the police began enforcing the ban once again earlier this year. Visits by religious Jews to the Temple Mount are monitored by Waqf guards and Israeli police – and all Jewish prayer, including silent prayer, is forbidden. No sacred Jewish objects, such as prayer books or prayer shawls, may be brought onto the mount, according to the tourism website Tourist Israel. - Fair Use- Oh check this out ... Jewish Messianic Perspective on Rosh Hashanah" In the book "Signs in the Heavens: A Jewish Messianic Perspective of the Last Days & Coming Millennium" by Avi Ben Mordechai - we find much about Rosh Hashanah and resurrection and rapture. As we approach this feast day again, I decided to return to this book. Avi Ben Mordechai believes that Rosh Hashanah is without a doubt the day of the resurrection/rapture based on ancient Hebrew custom, the ancient Hebrew language, the writings of famous rabbis, numerous verses in the Tanakh, and the words of Y'shua and Paul in The New Testament, plus much much more evidence he presents in his book. Here are some excerpts from this book: "The rapture and the resurrection are the same except that the resurrection applies to the dead and the rapture to the living. Regardless of your condition at its 'appointed time (i.e. whether you are alive or dead), both the righteous dead and the righteous living will participate in the same thing at nearly the same time. This concept is Jewish to the core!" Several examples in the Tanakh: Job 19:26 "And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God." Isaiah 26:19 "But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead." Ezekiel 37/12 "Therefore prophesy and say to them: "This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and raise you up from them;" "Because the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), the first day of the seventh month of the Jewish calendar, is linked to the theme of resurrection, it is also referred to as "The Day of Our Concealment." "On the Feast of Trumpets the dead will be resurrected and those alive will be raptured and taken out in a divine wedding carriage or litter and concealed for seven years in the groom's wedding chamber called the Chupah Chatanim. This follows a marriage practice of ancient Judaism...In the case of the eklesia, the "Church", we too will be swept away and concealed, though not for seven days, but for seven years in the wedding chamber of Y'shua." The prophet Isaiah spoke prophetically about the Day of the Lord: "As a woman with child and about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pain, so were we in your presence, O Lord. We were with child, we writhed in pain, bet we gave birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth; we have not given birth to people of the world. But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead. Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins." "In Hebrew this passage is filled with Jewish idioms and teaches us many things concerning the day of our concealment, resurrection,rapture and the tribulation." "In Hebrew, the future seven year period is called Chevlei HaMashiach. Many ancient Jews called this Ya'acov's Trouble, Christians calls it the tribulation." "Wake up" and "shout for joy" are themes for the Feast of Trumpets This tells us the resurrection will happen on this festival. Also "dew" is an ancient Jewish resurrection term." Psalm 81:3 refers to the first day of the seventh month in the Jewish calendar. "Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast...." (not all translations have 'full moon') "This has been mistranslated - there is no full moon with in the Jewish calendar year as no festival incorporates the four elements mentioned in the verse: a shofar (trumpet), a new moon, a full moon and a feast. "Full Moon" is not even found in the Hebrew. Correctly translated it should say "our concealment" from the Hebrew B'Chaseh." "Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, at our concealment, on the day of our Feast..." "Only one day on the Jewish calendar year includes: A festival, a concealed moon, a shofar or trumpet blast." "That day is the Feast of Trumpets which, has for ages, carried the themes of resurrection, coronation and concealment in the tent (tabernacle) of the Lord." "Christians over the centuries have separated themselves from their Jewish roots causing the misunderstanding of key Jewish biblical idioms. An idiom is also a figure of speech. When Y'shua uttered His famous words concerning the Messianic era in Matthew 24:36, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father," He used a common Jewish figure of speech referring to a specific Jewish festival." Rosh Hashanah "No one knows about the day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" is a Hebrew expression for the holy convocation of Rosh Hashanah, the first day of the seventh month. We are to watch and pray for that day and hour, anxiously awaiting the resurrection of the dead, the rapture and the completion of our redemption." "...anytime you see an "open door" linked to the End-Times, it is Jewish terminology for Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets." There is much, much more in this book on this feast day. And much, more more about the Last Days and the Millennium. One prayer said during Rosh Hashanah is the blessing over bread: "Blessed art Thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings forth the living bread from heaven." It is interesting, that in this very blessing, the Jewish people are most certainly referring to the Son of God, Jesus. The living bread who came from Heaven. John 6:32,33: Jesus said to the Jews, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." John 6:51: I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever, and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world. John 14:3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Feast of Trumpets- certainly a day to be watching for the Rapture. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem! Maranatha! Chance - Fair Use - ———————- I couldn’t help but think of this verse :popcorn Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. Cool! TR I would certainly agree with the statement that gentile believers grafted into the vine (Jesus), know very little of our Jewish heritage and Jesus spoke of it throughout His time on earth. Per the Essenes “true” calendar, Fall begins on September 15, Trumpets begins on September 16, and add in the lunar cycle of the New moon per NASA and this could be the best week ever! :yahoo: :popcorn :popcorn :prayer-hands: :prayer-hands: :flyup: :good: Pretty cool. I actually attend a Jewish Messianic Church. (Kehillath Tsion - Congregation of Zion) Not legalistic and with good doctrine. Been attending for about 7 years. Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the Universe who brings forth bread from the earth. (Baruch atah adonai eloheynu melekh ha'olam hamotzi lekhem min ha'aretz) Ha'aretz means the earth. I am not sure where he gets that they pray that the bread comes from heaven. Unless that is a Rosh Hashanah only thing. That would be quite significant. I'll look into it. It's called Manna! TR Again, I'll be extra vigilant the 16th/17th! As stated on another thread: if the Rapture does'nt happen during RH, I'll be more surprised than disappointed! And that's saying something! TR Of course. Will try to track down the Rosh Hashanah liturgy. In the series The Chosen, Jesus begins His prayers with “Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the Universe.” I thought that was pretty cool but didn’t realize how authentic it was.
This is reportedly the third time loudspeakers have been installed since 2017.

The Aqsa Mosque is located at the southern end of the Temple Mountcomplex, also known as Al Haram Ash Sharif.
The news organization additionally claimed that the loudspeakers could be used to broadcast Jewish prayers or deliver statements in Hebrew to settlers.

Anyway, the prayer before sharing the bread is:
Anyway, good article. The manna is the shadow and Jesus is the reality.
I checked the Passover Haggadah I have. It does say Ha'aretz - the earth.
