Feast of Trumpets- Rosh Ha ShannahDay of Atonement – Yom Kippur

Feast of Tabernacles- Booths

Thank you Christ Community Church, His Church International and our other

International Churches for blessing the Jewish people and Beth Chaim.

Romans 15:27-29 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings. So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this fruit, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way.

I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.

Let us pray for the Salvation of the Jewish people!

Genesis 2:2-3And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Exodus 31:16-17The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.’”

Exodus 16:29Bear in mind that the Lord has given you the Sabbath; (SABBATH is a GIFT)

Matthew 12:8For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

Genesis 2:9In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 3:4-5 “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Genesis 3:24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

Genesis 18:18-19 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”

Revelation 22:14-15“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

Ephesians 3:6This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. (Yeshua HaMashiac)

Ephesians 3:10His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known…

John 10:9-12The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

The Appointed Times of God prophesy the Church and End-time events, they are actually just as valuable to the Church as to Israel. We are now grafted in to these blessings.

By the Church participating in them they would best Arouse the Jews to Envy.

The Church would be blessed by God.

What God promised to Abraham he is fulfilling!

Leviticus 23:41-43: Feast of TabernaclesCelebrate this as a festival to the Lord for seven days each year. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come; celebrate it in the seventh month. Live in booths for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in booths so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

Ephesians 2:12-13remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

Zechariah 14:16-17Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.


Paul’s Calling on the Church

Romans 9:1-5 I speak the truth in Christ— I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit— I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race, the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

Romans 11:13-15I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?



Acts 15:5-6Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses.”

The apostles and elders met to consider this question.

Acts 15:19-21 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.

For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”


1 Corinthians 15:45-49So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.

As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

We now partake of God’s Feasts as God’s Spiritual Children, not as men of dust but as men being transformed into the likeness of Yeshua Jesus!

Genesis 15:6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

Romans 9:30-32What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the “stumbling stone.”

1 Corinthians 5:7-8For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

We keep God’s appointed times in faith and in love for God for what he has done, is doing and will do for His Church!

Exodus 23:18-19..“The fat of my festival offerings must not be kept until morning. “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.

Genesis 4:2-5Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

Feast of Trumpets (SHOFAR)- Rosh Ha Shannah

“Beginning” or (Head) Ha means “the” and Shannah means “year”.

•The more common Biblical name is “Feast of Trumpets.”

Lev.23:23-25 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, In the seventh month in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

• Yom in Hebrew is “day” Teruah means “Trumpets” so it’s the day of sounding the trumpets, or known today as Rosh Ha Shannah.

Beth Chaim Messianic Congregation NetworkBeth Chaim Messianic Congregation Network 21


•Feast of Trumpets is about preparing to meet the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We sound the Trumpet as an alert. Wake up God our Judge and King is coming.

•From Rosh Ha Shannah to Yom Kippur is called the TEN DAYS OF AWE and we look to get right with ourselves and others first so we can go before God with a clean heart on Day of Atonement. We ask forgiveness of others so we can ask God for our forgiveness and be put in the Book of Life.

Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.



•The trumpet sound was to confound and confuse Satan, who was especially condemning Israel on New Year’s Day, bringing up before the Lord all their shortcomings and sins. These are the blasts of the Horn:

• One long blast Tekiah; • Three short blasts Shevarim; • Nine to twelve short, fast notes Teruah Shannah Tov

Means Good Year

Rosh HaShanah

Is the Jewish Spiritual New

YearRosh HaShanah is one of the most attended synagogue days

along with Yom Kippur, together the are called the High Holidays!


1 Corinthians 15:52-54 Spirit-Church in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet (SHOFAR). For the trumpet (Shofar) will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. …then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”


The Shofar is about taking the Promised Land of Eternal Life through the power of God’s Spirit! It is considered by many scholars to represent the Rapture of the Church.

Joshua 6:13-21 DUST-HumanitySo the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets (shofars); and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet (shofar), the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city. They utterly destroyed everything in the city,



The System of Substitutionary Sacrifice:

•The Ram replaced Isaac as Abraham's sacrifice just as Yeshua Jesus would replace us as the sacrifice. The RAMs horn Shofar reminds of the coming of Messiah. The Ram represents the Animal Sacrifices that God would command of Israel through Moses and Aaron. A temporary solution unit Jesus our Passover Lamb.

• All the Feasts of Israel and Church prophesy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are represented in the Stories of Abraham and Isaac!


Yom Kippur Day of Atonement

Leviticus 23:26-32The Lord said to Moses, “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present an offering made to the Lord by fire. ..You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live. It is a sabbath of rest for you, and you must deny yourselves.

• Yom Kippur is the only day during the year the High Priest could go in to the Holy of Holies

• Tradition has it that a scarlet thread would turn white if God accepted. Israel’s sacrifice which it did until Jesus’ resurrection

Matthew 27:50-51And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.

Jeremiah 30:7-9How awful that day will be! None will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it. “‘ In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will break the yoke off their necks and will tear off their bonds; no longer will foreigners enslave them. Instead, they will serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

Sprinkling of Blood in the Holy of Holies The Kohen Gadol took the bowl with the bull’s blood and entered the Most Holy Place again. He sprinkled the bull’s blood with his finger eight times, before the Ark in the days of the First Temple,



Many married men wear a kittel, a white robe-like garment for evening prayers on Yom Kippur.[4] They also wear a tallit, the only evening service of the year in which this is done.[5] Prayer services begin with the prayer known as “Kol Nidre,” which must be recited before sunset, and continue with the evening prayers (Ma'ariv or Arvith), which includes an extended Selichot service.

The morning prayer service is preceded by litanies and petitions of forgiveness called selichot; on Yom Kippur, many selichot are woven into the liturgy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur
