The Rapture on Rosh Hashanah

Geri7 · 2019-08-25T14:07:07Z

Here is an encouraging letter from Carl Worline at 5 Doves to stay extra alert and watchful to this coming Sept - Oct. for our Blessed Hope! :popcorn The Rapture on Rosh Hashanah By Carl Worline Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Feast of Trumpets (and by many other names as we shall soon see) is the fifth of seven Jewish holy days known as moedim (plural for moed). It is also the next moed to be fulfilled. Rosh Hashanah is unique because there is no explicit reason given in the Torah for its observance, other than to “rest” and to sacrifice. It was a “mystery” that was only revealed in the Bible much later when Paul said: Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). Rosh Hashanah is a day of rest where no ordinary labor is to be performed. It is considered to be the day to rest in the finished work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in our lives. It is the day when all of our earthly struggles are over. Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of 10 days of intense spiritual preparation for the Day of Atonement. Jewish tradition holds that Adam and Eve were created on Rosh Hashanah, which is Tishrei 1. Some also believe that this was the day on which Jesus was born. Rosh Hashanah is known as the birthday of the world since the world was created on this day according to the Talmud (Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 11a). The first words of the Book of Genesis (Bereishit), “in the beginning,” when changed around reads, Aleph b’ Tishrei, or “on the first of Tishrei”. Therefore, Rosh Hashanah is known among the Jews as the birthday of the world. Some traditions hold that the gates of heaven are opened on Rosh Hashanah for a short time so that the righteous nation may enter. There are 4 New Years on the Jewish calendar. Rosh Hashanah occurs on Tishrei 1 and is the New Year of years. Rosh Hashanah is also the New Year for sabbatical years and jubilees, as well as for the sowing and harvesting of crops. Rosh Hashanah came to be known as the Feast Where No Man Knows the Day or Hour because it commences on a new moon rather than a full moon. A new moon is when the moon is totally dark, giving off no illumination. With anything less than an absolutely clear sky it is impossible to tell when the moon is at its darkest and it takes at least 2 visual sightings of the first thin crescent to confirm the new moon. Therefore, it is difficult to predict when this actually takes place. The new moon was sanctified when two witnesses saw the first sliver of the new moon and attested to it before the Sanhedrin in the Temple. This sanctification could happen during either of two days, depending on when the witnesses came to the Temple. Rosh Hashanah is observed over the two-day period of Tishrei 1 and Tishrei 2 due to uncertainty about celebrating it on the correct day. These two days are regarded as yoma arikhta, one long day. If you were to say to any good American “Come on over on Turkey Day and we will watch the game together on TV,” he would immediately know you were referring to Thanksgiving. Mention the day that nobody knows the day or hour of to any good Jew and he would instinctively know what day you were referring to as well. That day would be Rosh Hashanah. Jesus referred to the day that no man knows the day or hour of 4 times during the Olivet Discourse in reference to His return: · Matthew 24:36 · Matthew 24:42-44 · Matthew 24:50 · Matthew 25:13-15 Since Jesus repeatedly used variations of the phrase that no man knows the day or hour in connection with His return, many believe that the rapture will occur on Rosh Hashanah of some year. Jesus also repeatedly used the analogy of the Jewish wedding to the Rapture of the Church. In Jewish wedding tradition it is customary to respond to a question of when the wedding will occur with “I do not know the day or the hour. Only my father knows.” This is because the bride’s father sets the date of the wedding when he is satisfied that all things are ready. When the wedding day approaches the father gives the all clear and the groom comes with a shout and a trumpet blast to claim his bride. Then the groom takes her away to their new home for 7 days of rejoicing. Rosh Hashanah is the only Jewish feast (moed) where the moon is hidden. The moon is an allusion and represents the Bride of Christ. The moon does not give off any light of its own. It only reflects the light of the sun. Rosh Hashanah is the only feast where the blowing of trumpets is a central theme. Paul told us very clearly in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 that the rapture will occur “at the Last Trumpet.” In the Bible, Pentecost is known as the first trumpet. Yom Kippur is known as the great trumpet. Rosh Hashanah is known as the last trumpet. Because the la...
