Rosh Hashanah Starts Tonight. It's Also Called the Feast of Trumpets

As Christians watching for Jesus, just as a Jewish bride watched for her groom to come like a thief in the night, we should be extra watchful during the Feast of Trumpets.  It begins at sundown tonight, October 2 and runs through nightfall on October 4.  No man knows the day or the hour when the priest will sight the first sliver of moon in the sky.  They know the season but not the day or the hour.  In the same way, no man knows the day or the hour of our Lord's return, but Jesus says we should recognize the season.

What: Rosh Hashanah is the birthday of the universe, the day G‑d created Adam and Eve, and it’s celebrated as the head of the Jewish year.

When: Rosh Hashanah is observed on the first two days of the Jewish new year, Tishrei 1 and 2, beginning at sundown on the eve of Tishrei 1. Rosh Hashanah 2024 begins at sundown on Wednesday, October 2, and continues through nightfall on Friday, October 4, leading right into Shabbat

How: Rosh Hashanah is celebrated with candle lighting in the evenings, festive meals with sweet delicacies during the night and day, prayer services that include the sounding of the ram’s horn (shofar) on both mornings, and desisting from creative work. See our calendar for details.

The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah actually means “Head of the Year.” Just like the head controls the body, our actions on Rosh Hashanah have a tremendous impact on the rest of the year.

As we read in the Rosh Hashanah prayers, each year on this day “all inhabitants of the world pass before G‑d like a flock of sheep,” and it is decreed in the heavenly court “who shall live, and who shall die ... who shall be impoverished and who shall be enriched; who shall fall and who shall rise.”

It is a day of prayer, a time to ask the Almighty to grant us a year of peace, prosperity and blessing. But it is also a joyous day when we proclaim G‑d King of the Universe. The Kabbalists teach that the continued existence of the universe depends on G‑d’s desire for a world, a desire that is renewed when we accept His kingship anew each year on Rosh Hashanah.

What’s It Called?

● The most common name for this holiday is Rosh Hashanah, the name used in the eponymous tractate of Talmud devoted to the holiday.

● The Torah refers to this day as Yom Teruah (Day of Shofar Blowing).1

● In our prayers, we often call it Yom Hazikaron (Day of Remembrance) and Yom Hadin (Day of Judgement) since this is the day when G‑d recalls all of His creations and determines their fate for the year ahead.

● Together with Yom Kippur (which follows 10 days later), it is part of the Yamim Nora'im (Days of Awe, or: High Holidays).

So Israel is being attacked simultaneously by Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas.  All eyes are on Israel.  

Jesus' return is imminent.  He fulfilled 4 Jewish feasts at his first coming and will fulfill the other 3 at his second comings.  We can't know for sure whether Jesus will fulfill the Feast of Trumpets at the rapture or maybe at his second coming?  We simply can't speak and say, "God is CERTAINLY going to do it this way!"....but we can be more watchful and be lifting up our heads starting tonight through Friday night.
