Tonight is erev Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah), the evening that begins this Holy day for Jewish people all over the world. Churches all over the world will not only ignore this Biblical Holy day, but most of them don’t even know it is happening. The accepted premise concerning these Holy days is that “we the church have been set free from the burden of the law. We are not obligated to keep or even recognize these events.” They are looked upon as a burden to observe and something that was imposed upon the children of Israel to keep them out of trouble. Most people who call themselves Christians do not believe these Holy Days apply to us anymore. The question that has to be asked is, are these Biblical Holy days still relevant for us today? What is the obligation of the believer in the Messiah today in regards to these Biblical memorials?

I do believe that the “Church” has for all too long taken that which is Biblical and replaced it with that which has been contrived and just plain false (i.e. Christmas/ Easter).  The “Church” totally ignores all of the memorials that were set up by the Lord to show his great acts of salvation past present and future. To ignore Yom Teruah is to say to the Lord “thanks for the memorials that were set up to remind us of how much You love us, but no thanks. We would rather make up things as we go along”.

One of the things that the “Church” lacks is knowledge of the prophetic. This is why they are, for the most part, unable to defend their faith apart from cliché and Christian verbiage. Every Holy day was given by the Lord to prophesy the Messiah’s first and second coming. If we believe the entire word of the Lord revolves around Yeshua’s appearing, then why would we dismiss so quickly the meaning of these Holy days to the pile of make-do keep-busy events meant only for the Jewish people.

Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah) very specifically does this in a way that clearly shows the second coming of the Messiah. Time does not permit me to write everything that is proclaimed about this Holy day. So this is only an introduction to wet your whistle. I hope and pray you will do more study on your own. If you blow this off thinking that I am Judaizing, then it is to your loss. I am at least doing my job and provoking you to study the Word more seriously. So here goes.

As a side note I am not making this an issue of salvation. I repeat this is not an issue of salvation. Nothing stated in this short blog is said as a judgment of anyone’s salvation. DID YOU HEAR THAT? Good now we can continue with the blog.

This is what the Scripture says about the Holy day.

Num 29:1  'Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall also have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. It will be to you a day for blowing trumpets.

Lev 23:23  Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Lev 23:24  "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

Lev 23:25  'You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD.'"

Lev 23:26  The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Lev 23:27  "On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to the LORD.

Lev 23:28  "You shall not do any work on this same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement on your behalf before the LORD your YHVH.

Lev 23:29  "If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day, he shall be cut off from his people.

Lev 23:30  "As for any person who does any work on this same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.

Lev 23:31  "You shall do no work at all. It is to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.

So this is what we know of this Holy day according to the Scriptures:

1.         It is to be celebrated on the 1st of the 7th month, Tishri.

2.          We are to do no work.

3.          We are to have a holy convocation.

4.         Present an offering by fire.

5.         This is to be observed perpetually in all of our dwellings.

6.          We are to sound trumpets as a reminder.

A reminder of what though? In order to determine that, we first must know what trumpets were used for in the Scripture?

The reasons and meaning of Blowing the Shofar

1.               Symbol of Israel’s re-gathering  Is 27:12-13

Isa 27:12  In that day the LORD will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel.

Isa 27:13  It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

2.                  Resurrection of the dead. Ez:37:9.

Eze 37:9  Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord YHVH, "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life."'"

3.         The Torah was given with the sound of the Shofar, Ex 19:19.

Exo 19:19  When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and the Lord answered him with thunder.

4.         Israel Conquered Jericho At the Shofar blast, Josh 6:20.

Jos 6:20  So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, 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.

5.         Men were called to war upon hearing the Shofar, Judges 3:27 Sam 20:1

Jdg 3:27  It came about when he had arrived, that he blew the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he was in front of them.

Jdg 3:28  He said to them, "Pursue them, for the LORD has given your enemies the Moabites into your hands." So they went down after him and seized the fords of the Jordan opposite Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross.

6.         It was blown at the start of the Year of Jubilee, Lev 25:9.

Lev 25:8  'You are also to count off seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, so that you have the time of the seven Sabbaths of years, namely, forty-nine years.

Lev 25:9  'You shall then sound a ram's horn abroad on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of atonement you shall sound a horn all through your land.

Lev 25:10  'You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.

7.         The Messiah will come at the sound of the Shofar, Zech 9:14.

Zec 9:14  Then the LORD will appear over them, And His arrow will go forth like lightning; And the Lord YHVH will blow the trumpet, And will march in the storm winds of the south.

1Thess 4

13But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, even so YHVH will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Yeshua. 15For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of YHVH, and the dead in Messiah will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18Therefore comfort one another with these words.

1Cor 15

51Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory. 55“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; 57but thanks be to YHVH, who gives us the victory through our Lord Yeshua Ha Mashiach.

These are but a few examples of the usage of the Trumpet of the Lord. The one that stands out most of all is that the trumpet will sound at the coronation of our King Messiah when He returns.  My point simply is this: We don’t have this terminology arising in the New Covenant out of the thin air. The New Covenant writers were very well aware of these passages from the Tenach (First/Old Testament). Their theology was shaped from these passages. The Lord builds upon His prophetic foundation.

If this day is called a day of remembrance and a day of repentance in preparation of the Lord’s judgment, then it seems fitting and right that it should also be the day that reminds us of the coming of the Lord in His final judgment.  

We don’t ignore the prophetic display of these appointed times now that the New Covenant is here. We support the New Covenant by celebrating the events that were given as reminders. There is a very backward theology that has developed for centuries that says now that the Messiah has come all we need to observe is that which is written in the New Covenant. That logic though is warped. We must be reminded where we have come from to truly appreciate where we are.

This is why it so important to celebrate these Holy Days. They remind us that what we believe is legitimate. We confirm the surety of a foundation of a building to determine if it is stable and safe to live in. Once the house is built we don’t tear out the foundation, do we?

Yom Teruah is one of those foundational commemorations that helps us know that, as the Lord was announced with the blowing of the trumpet in the past, so shall His second coming also be announced.

Why wouldn’t we want to rehearse His coming in this way? In Yom Teruah we have been given a formal opportunity to be reminded every year. Don’t we think that Yeshua is worthy of this time? Leviticus 23 calls His Holy days “appointed times and seasons”. That is because these were appointments that could only be fulfilled by the Messiah Himself. Yeshua kept all of the Prophetic appointments in His first appearance. Yom Teruah reminds us that He will be faithful to keep His end time appointments as well.

There is much more to be learned from this day, but if I am able to convince you that it is still valid for New Covenant believers, then I have completed my task. From there we can pick up the conversation.

May the Lord bless you as you are reminded that the last great trumpet blast will sound at His coming. I pray that this Yom Teruah you might even consider going somewhere to hear the Shofar sound so that you will be stirred to remembrance and anticipation of His soon and imminent return. If you are able feel free to join us this Friday at 7:30 PM and Saturday at 4:00 PM. LaShana Tova Tikatavu. May your name be inscribed in the book of life for a good year.

Shalom uvracha b’Yeshua

Rabbi Henry

As we commemorate the 9/11 tragedy, I submit this little blog for your consideration.

Where and who is the voice of moderate Islam? Who are those legendary architects of the moderate movement? What is the definition of Moderate Islam? How does this supposed moderate Islamic faith compare doctrinally to the Koran? Does history support the premise? Has Islam acted moderately throughout history? Is their moderate voice loud enough to be heard? Can they shape Islamists’ behavior today? Let’s look at history, which is usually a pretty good guide when it comes to judging past behavior. Keep these questions in mind while we review.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire was founded by the Turkoman tribal leader named Osman in 1209 AD and lasted until 1922 AD. It was one of the most powerful empires in the world during the 15th and 16th centuries; it spanned more than 600 years; it was replaced by the Turkish Republic and various successor states in southeastern Europe and the Middle East. At its height the empire included most of southeastern Europe to the gates of Vienna, including modern Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia, Romania Greece, and Ukraine; Iraq, Syria, Israel, and Egypt; North Africa as far west as Algeria; and most of the Arabian Peninsula. (The above information was taken from Britannica.com and paraphrased by me).

Do we see here any hint of world conquering Imperialism in the Islamic Ottoman Turkish Empire? By the way, they conquered by marching into these countries throwing flowers and flashing the peace sign to the inhabitants, until the people realized they just had to submit to the religion of peace.

From the U.S. Dept. of State office of the Historian

Barbary Wars, 1801–1805 and 1815–1816

The Barbary States were a collection of North African states, many of which practiced state-supported piracy in order to exact tribute from weaker Atlantic powers. Morocco was an independent kingdom, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli owed a loose allegiance to the Ottoman Empire. The United States fought two separate wars with Tripoli (1801–1805) and Algiers (1815–1816), although at other times it preferred to pay tribute to obtain the release of captives held in the Barbary States.

Oh, did I point out that these were Muslim countries? (As a side note, these also were nice pirates – kind of like Captain Jack Sparrow or maybe even the Veggie Tales pirates.)

In 1786, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson met with Arab diplomats from Tunisia, who were conducting terror raids and piracy against American ships (Barbary Pirates). Writing to John Jay, Thomas Jefferson described what he saw as the main issue and the reason why they were attacking Americans who had done them no harm. The following quote is from Thomas Jefferson....

“We took the liberty to make some inquiries concerning the grounds of their pretensions to make war upon a nation who had done them no injury, and observed that we considered all mankind as our friends who had done us no wrong, nor had given us any provocation. THE AMBASSADOR ANSWERED US THAT IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE LAWS OF THEIR PROPHET, THAT IT WAS WRITTEN IN THEIR KORAN, THAT ALL NATIONS WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THEIR AUTHORITY WERE SINNERS, THAT IT WAS THEIR RIGHT AND DUTY TO MAKE WAR UPON THEM WHEREVER THEY COULD BE FOUND, AND TO MAKE SLAVES OF ALL THEY COULD TAKE AS PRISONERS, AND THAT EVERY MUSSELMAN (MUSLIM) WHO SHOULD BE SLAIN IN BATTLE WAS SURE TO GO TO PARADISE"

In a small blog sent to me by Robert Leblanc, he recounts some very prominent events that have happened in modern history.

1. In 1968 Robert Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male.

2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim males.

3. In 1972 a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo, where a fuse was lit on final approach, it was blown up shortly after landing, by Muslim males.

4. In 1973 a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades by Muslim males.

5. In 1979 the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim males.

6. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim males.

7. In 1983 the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim males.

8. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70-year-old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim males.

9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim males.

10. In 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males.

11. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim males.

12. In 1998 the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim males.

13. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers, and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males.

14. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim males.

15. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by – you guessed it – a Muslim male.

16. In the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing four innocent people, including a child, were killed, and 264 injured by Muslim males.

In the words of the most prominent leadership in Islam.

A PA psychologist explains on PA TV that the Jewish infant “nurses hatred”:

Psychologist Khader Abas

“Very important factors influenced the Jewish personality, among them: The religious-legend idea, this is foremost, and children’s upbringing. From the moment the child is born, he nurses hatred against others, nurses seclusion, nurses superiority…”

PA TV, April 14, 2002

Dr. Muhammad Abu Daf

“I truly do not see the state of the Israeli society as a state of confusion, but rather a natural result of an education that was maintained by fundamentalist Jewish upbringing to violence, hostility and racism... The sayings of the leaders of the Hebrew state, and the actions of the soldiers are a natural behavior, acquired by the Jewish upbringing... Thus distorting the figure of the Arabs and Muslims, the Jewish child nurses hatred with [mother’s] milk ... we want a generation that recognizes and understands the structure of the Jewish personality.”

PA TV, October 12, 2003

“For Allah was angry and called them once monkeys, pigs and donkeys…”

PA TV, March 30, 2001

Where is the voice of the moderates protesting? Why haven’t we seen them throughout history? Why isn’t it loud enough to make a difference? Why aren’t they able to change the direction of this violent despicable behavior? This is not a modern phenomenon. It is the history of Islam. There is no moderate voice of Islam. There is only Islam and they have shown who they are from the beginning.

If Islam is a religion of peace then I am perplexed as to why so many wars were and are fought in the name of Islam. I am amazed how they have been allowed to redefine the vocabulary and fool so many people into thinking that peace is achieved by avoiding conflict with Islam, “the religion of peace”. As long as we don’t insult them by declaring the truth of their actions they won’t attack us. Then we can have peace. But just be careful not to insult the religion of peace or they will kill you.

So the next time someone says true Islam is moderate and is a religion of “peace” ask them, What “piece”?

Now that the battle with Hamas is over and the bombs have stopped flying over Israel for a brief moment, a new battle front has opened up – this is the propaganda war. I am not saying that this propaganda tactic has not been used in the past, but this time it is being used as a place holder until Hamas can rearm themselves. It is a war that can spread throughout the world in a matter of minutes at a very minimal cost and can change the appearance of the enemy with almost no blood spilt.

This is a very effective way to fight a war as it infiltrates deep into the psyche of those you want to reach. Once the support is garnered, you have demoralized your enemy in the eyes of the world and turned the oppressed into the oppressors and turned everyone against your foe. You can even change strategies in the midst of the battle to accommodate your goals with little to no ramifications against your side.

This is what has happened to Israel today. Even the most ardent supporters find themselves asking questions that should not even be considered when you know what the Scriptures say about Israel and the Jews. Are they the oppressors?  Did they steal Palestinian lands? Why won’t they let the Palestinians have full rights in Israel? Is Israel an apartheid state? Why didn’t they use proportional force against Hamas? Didn’t they know that innocent children and women would die as a result of this war?

These are the questions posed by those in the propaganda industry. These are very slick campaigners who have lots of questions but no answers, at least no answers based on history or Scripture. So let’s put it into context, shall we?

It has been said to me personally – and not by just a few – that the Jews in proportion to the rest of the world have way too much influence militarily, in the financial institutions, in media and in politics. It has also been said to me that the Jews have brought persecution upon themselves because of the oppression they have caused to the world through their influence.

Now it is true that there is without a doubt a tremendous amount of influence in the world exerted by this small but influential people group. They have influenced media, politics, economy and the like. Most of this influence has been positive and some has been negative. But that being said, on the other hand they have also influenced the entire world throughout all of history in every other way as well.

These are some statistics compiled in our modern times concerning that very influence. I have just merely cut and pasted them to save time. These are found commonly throughout the internet for anyone to find. I used many sources that have also done the same.

These are Jewish contributions to the world showing how much influence Jews really do have. After all if you are going to point out the negative, is it not also fair to point out the positive?  Feel free to peruse the entire site for greater details on the accomplishments of famous Jews who have changed the world.

 From the wesite www.jinfo.org/Nobel_Prizes.html

 Now I could go on ad nauseam, but time and room do not allow. I get complaints all the time that my blogs are too long. But to conclude this “little blog” of mine I would like to say that you can find in any people group some bad apples. But you throw out the bad ones and you thoroughly enjoy the good ones. Yes there Jews in history who have been behind some very evil events. Just like any other group. But I do believe that to castigate and revile the Jews because of the exceptions is satanic propaganda intended to win the war against the Lord’s chosen. He uses many unsuspecting, uniformed people to spread what they think are facts all in the name of being politically correct and “tolerant”.

If you want to look at facts why don’t we look at the fact that approximately 90 percent of all world conflicts are because of Islam. To this day I still have never heard of Jewish man or woman strap a bomb onto themselves walk into a crowded Muslim market place and yell Jehovah is great, BOOM! I have never seen Israel in their short history ever invade another country with the intent of converting people to Judaism. Where is this worldwide Jewish caliphate? As a Jew myself I want to say that if you don’t convert to Judaism I will come and behead all of your stuffed animals. Scared yet? How can anyone speak of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy to take over the planet and then ignore the already publically proclaimed agenda of Islam to take over the world by force.

So the next time you want to speak out against the Jews or Israel, please get your facts straight and make sure you have all of your information compiled before you stick your foot so far down your throat you end up chocking on your own appendage.

One more thing before I close; I am not declaring every Jew righteous, but I am saying that the Lord will deal with them as He has done in the past. We leave the Judgment up to Him when it comes to His people. In the meantime please be reminded of just a few passages that should guide our behavior when it comes to Israel.

Gen 12:2  And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing;

Gen 12:3  And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

Zec 2:8  For thus says the LORD of hosts, "After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.

Psa 121:4  Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Jer 31:10  Hear the word of the LORD, O nations, And declare in the coastlands afar off, And say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him And keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock."

Rom 11:18  do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.

Need I say more?
