יום תרועה (Feast of Trumpets) – May It Be a Good Year (L’shanah Tovah)

The Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah (יום תרועה) in Hebrew, is estimated to begin at sunset tomorrow Israel Standard Time (IST), on September 6, 2021 (the start will not be official until a sliver of the moon is spotted, signifying the new moon). It is one of seven feasts God commanded the children of Israel to observe (Leviticus 23). Some also refer to the Feast of Trumpets as the “mystery feast,” because the Lord didn’t tell Moses, at least it isn’t specifically stated in Leviticus 23, why they should blow trumpets and observe that day, except that it was a “memorial” of blowing trumpets.

The only time “trumpet” is mentioned in scriptures prior to the Feast of Trumpets in Leviticus 23, is in Exodus 19, when God told Moses that when the people heard the “trumpet sound long” they were to come up to Mount Sinai to “meet with God” (Exodus 19-20); so this is the only event that He could have been referring to: when the people gathered to meet God, and God came down to the top of Mount Sinai to meet with Moses, at the sound of the trumpet. This is the event we are to remember, memorialize, on the Feast of Trumpets.

There is also a day coming which coincides with this memorial, which is referred to in the Holy Word of God as a meeting in the air with our Savior Jesus Christ:

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus shall we ever be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another with these words” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (ET – Elim אֵילִם Translation)

The dead shall be raised at the sound of God’s trumpet and those remaining on the earth who are Christians will be caught up together to meet them and they will meet Jesus our Savior in the air!

God came down at the sound of the trumpet on Mount Sinai. Jesus will return for His people at the sound of a trumpet before the great tribulation begins, to save them from His wrath, which shall come upon the wicked:

“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, Who delivered us from the wrath to come” 1 Thessalonians 1:10 (ET – Elim אֵילִם Translation)

“The nations were angry and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged and that You should give reward to Your servants, the prophets, the saints and those who fear Your name, small and great; and should destroy those who destroy the earth” Revelation 11:18 (ET – Elim אֵילִם Translation)

We should celebrate Yom Teruah in memory of God’s descent to meet with Moses on Mount Sinai; but we should also celebrate Yom Teruah because it is a type and shadow of the Lord’s return to meet with His people in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).

Jesus was crucified at Passover (Luke 22:15); He was raised from the dead at Firstfruits (1 Corinthians 15:20); and the Holy Spirit, which He promised to His disciples, came upon them at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4).

In the same manner of fulfillment, I believe Jesus will catch up (or “rapture” – Latin Vulgate translation, “rapiemur”) His saints (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) on Yom Teruah, or the Feast of Trumpets. We don’t know which year, nor do we know the day or hour (Jesus said we would not know the day or hour of His return [Matthew 25:13]), because the actual day of the Feast of Trumpets is not known until the sliver of the moon appears, marking the new moon. It is a mystery until the very day arrives!

Jesus could very well come this year on the Feast of Trumpets!

Are you ready?

Salvation is offered to everyone who repents of sin and receives Jesus as their Lord and Savior, unless a person crosses a line with God, to the point of becoming reprobate, having no conscience (Romans 1:21-32; Hebrews 6:4-6). Now is the time of salvation for everyone; tomorrow, or even the next hour, could be too late.

Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining shall surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth (Revelation 20:12-15)? If not, salvation is only a prayer away. Please visit the How Can I Be Saved page – your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.

The Sign of Kinnor David

THE SIGN OF KINNOR DAVID

King David was ordained to be king of Israel in place of Saul, because Saul departed from the Lord, but King David had very humble beginnings. He was a shepherd who played the harp and he watched over his father’s sheep.

The Bible tells us that David loved the Lord with a pure heart and his music was anointed by God. He carried his harp, no doubt, as he tended sheep in the fields and played songs of praise unto the Lord. Even after he was anointed King of Israel, King David still played his harp before the Lord in Israel (2 Samuel 6:5).

During his youth, David was renowned for playing anointed music, so he was called to come into the house of King Saul to play the harp for him, when Saul was vexed by an evil spirit. As David played the harp under the anointing of רוח הקדוש (Ruach haKodesh – the Holy Spirit), the evil spirit that vexed Saul had to flee (1 Samuel 16:23).

There is a harp maker in Israel, whose shop is called the House of Harrari. It just so happens that in 1982, Micah Harrari built the first kinnor David (harp of David), which was a very specific harp, since the Temple was destroyed nearly 2,000 years ago.

Ironically, at about the same time that Harrari began to make the first kinnor David, Rav Yisrael Ariel was also establishing the Temple Institute in Jerusalem. Neither one of them knew the other was inspired by God to begin their work right about the same time! Harrari has since donated numerous harps to the Temple Institute for future use in the Third Temple, as Ariel is seeing to the other holy implements needed, according to the ancient instructions given by God to Moses for those things that were to be used in Temple services.

The Third Temple was prophesied by Ezekiel (40-45) and it will most certainly will be built in these latter days.

It is interesting to note that one of Jerusalem’s old rabbis came to the house of Harrari, when he learned that Micah Harrari made the first kinnor David since the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. He wanted to know one thing, how many strings Harrari placed on the kinnor David. He asked Harrari if he could see it, and he counted the strings right away. His countenance changed when he saw that the harp had 10 strings, and he said, “Now I will go home to prepare, because I know that Messiah is coming soon!”

The Harrari family didn’t understand what he meant, so the old rabbi explained to them that the ancient rabbis have always written about the kinnor David with 10 strings, which would be a sign that would usher in the Messiah!

When Micah Harrari created his first kinnor David, he debated on how many strings to include on the harp. He researched historical writings, but he found that harps were created with a various number of strings throughout the ages. Some included three or four strings, but he felt those were too few to create the kind of music he desired, and others placed as many as 12 strings on the harp, but he saw that 12 strings would require a bigger harp. He finally decided 10 strings would provide beautiful music and he would not have to make kinnor David larger than it should be, according to ancient images. He had no knowledge of the fact that the rabbis believed once someone created the 10-string kinnor David in the latter days, which had not been done before, this would be the sign of Messiah – Yeshua HaMashiach – Jesus’s return!

I have been writing recently by inspiration from God about Rabbi Judah ben Samuel’s prophecies; about a dream and vision I had in 2010 alluding to the year 2017; about the Torah Code (given by Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson) revealing that the year 5777 (2017) is the year of Messiah; and now we see that in our generation the kinnor David was created for the first time in nearly 2,000 years with the prophetic 10 strings!

Jesus said, when His disciples asked Him what would be the sign of His return,

“So likewise when you shall see all these things (detailed in Matthew 24), know that it is near, even at the doors” Matthew 24:33.

• More people now are claiming to be Christ than at any other time in history (Matthew 24:4-5)
• Nation (ethnic group – original Greek) shall rise against nation (ethnic group) and kingdom (religions – original Greek) against kingdom (religions). Racial tensions and religious wars are on the rise throughout the world, especially centered around Islam – the antichrist kingdom (Matthew 24:7)
• Nearly 1 billion people are starving in the world today, close to 1 in 7, according to the UN (Matthew 24:7)
• God’s people are being martyred in Syria, Iraq and other nations throughout the Middle East, just as Jesus said they would be (Matthew 24:9)
• There are more false prophets today than during any other time in history (Matthew 24:11), including leaders of major denominations that have departed from the doctrine of truth
• We are living in the most wicked generation of many decades (Matthew 24:12), as the family unit created by God has been decimated by the legalization of gay marriage and as little children are being taught abominable things under the guise of “sex education” (Please visit the Home Education page) and people often have no restraint or moral decency today
  
• The gospel is preached throughout the world, in every nation via satellite (Matthew 24:14)
• There are more false Christs throughout the world than at any other time in history (Matthew 24:23-24)

There are many signs pointing to the return of the Lord during our generation and now we see the sign also of kinnor David, the 10-string harp of David.
