- YHVH, which is pronounced as YaHVaH
or YaHWaH. In addition we will also use our Heavenly Father’s
attribute/title, which is Elohim rather than “God,” which
sadly is the name of a pagan god. In addition we also love to use the actual
and real Name of our beloved Messiah which is 
- Yahushua or Yahshua in short, for
this is our Saviours original Hebrew Name as given to Him at birth in
When we read and study the blessed Scriptures,
the Word of YHVH Elohim as a believer in Yahushua the Messiah, we should keep
the following three steps always in mind for they are a valuable guide and it
will certainly provide us with guidance and illuminate the sheer beauty and the
fullness of YHVH’s most blessed Word.
1. Who was YHVH Elohim, blessed be His
Sanctified Name, speaking to?
2. When was it said?
3. How was His Word understood at the time it
was spoken/given?
I do believe that these three points are most
relevant to our understanding of 1. What the Almighty is saying at the time
– 2. As well as what it means to us today - and 3. Especially to you and
me right now!
1st.of Tishri.

Let us look at the relevant verse!
“Then YHVH spoke to Moshe -
We know from the Word that musical instruments
are frequently incorporated into some celebrations, but this feast is entirely
dependent on one musical instrument. “
“
In Scriptural days, the New Moon was always announced by the blowing of the Shofar. These were to be a number of short blasts. However, the New Moon of the seventh month was celebrated by a number of long blasts on the Shofar, thus we have the feast of the sounding of the Shofar. This proves to us that this feast has a special solemnity and that Tishri is unique among all the months. In fact, prophetically, this month speaks of completion of one stage, as well as a new beginning of another.
As we study this feast the question arises
“Why is it, that there are always two trumpets in the Word?”
This will be explained as we go further into this feast. However, one trumpet
prophetically represents the in gathering of
Trumpets in the Word
“Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound.” Tehillim - Psalm 89:15.
Tehillim - Psalm 89 above uses the words - “Joyful sound.” However in the Hebrew the word used for “joyful” is “TeRuach” or “blowing,” thus, speaking about knowing that joyful sounding (blowing) of the Shofar, in praise of the Almighty!

“Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps.

most of us will know, silver is the metal and the price of redemption. Silver
was used as a ransom or the atonement money. Remember that the Tabernacle
pillars were made from
In addition there were “two silver
trumpets” just as there were “two sockets of silver” below
the Tabernacle pillars separating the earth, which represented sin, and the
perfection of purity, being the Gold. The two silver trumpets clearly indicated
that YHVH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, always intended the plan of
redemption to be for

Fulfilment of the 5th feast, the “feast of the Blowing of the Trumpets,” prophetically represents the 1“catching away” of the Bride, the faithful in the Messiah.
“For the Master Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Elohim … we, which are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Master in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Master” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.
Secular and sadly sinful
Sadly, many do not believe that the faithful in Messiah will be “caught up” prior the Tribulation. It is said that this concept was invented by a monk ages ago, and that the doctrine of “the rapture” is false. Well let me say this, the word rapture is indeed erroneous; there is no such word in the Scriptures and it was made up by man! However, the Scripture uses the phrase, “caught up” and there is nothing erroneous about that!
Let me say this, as a Hebrew who did NOT have
a New Covenant, how did I come to know about being taken away before there
would come a great and terrible Day of our Saviour? It is simply because
Beloved, this Feast must be taken in its context and in its order as given, for each Feast is related to a clear single prophetic event.
The time between this and the next feast!
It is important to understand that eight days separates this feast and the next one, being the “Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement.” This time signifies the time from the catching away of the faithful, the Bride, and the 2nd.Coming. The seven-year Great Tribulation will commence the day after the feast of Trumpets when the Bride has been taken away “to be with the Master” Yahushua! Your question may be at this time, “Why then are there eight days and not seven days between these feasts?” The answer to part one of these questions is this.
1. It is important to realise that eight
in Hebrew is the letter “Ches” and in Scriptural numerals it
means, “A new beginning” and “life” as we
have learned from the letter “Chai” painted on the door, as
taught in our Passover study. Thus, these eight days are a time of reflection
and of repentance. YaHVaH’s “Two Witnesses” and the
144,000 redeemed Israelites, (Revelation 7:4), will bring millions into a new
“beginning” with the gift of “life eternal,” as
Yahushua becomes Master of their lives. The days between the two feasts are
called by
2. Part two of the answer is. There are seven days shown between the commencement of the Tribulation, to the day prior the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. The following note will explain this.
Note:
Will the Faithful in Messiah enter the Tribulation - the 70th
Week?
Beloved, the Catching Away is not only a turning point for the faithful in the Messiah, but also for the world. The world will never be the same again, after the Bride is “caught up!” The Word of Elohim gives many predictions of a coming judgement on the earth, which is full of iniquity. Judgement is not only for the wicked, but also to cleanse the earth from the results of sin and eventually to redeem it and perfect it for the Millennial Reign of our Messiah and His faithful! Thereafter YaHVaH will provide, a “New Heaven and a New Earth … where righteousness will dwell!”
That is a big order and it cannot be accomplished without cleansing. There have been other judgements. The Great Flood of Noah's time changed the whole topography of the earth and established a new climatic pattern, the climatic pattern, which is present to this day. Yahushua clearly gave us signs of these times …
“For in those days (the 70th Week) there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which Elohim created until this time, nor ever shall be” Markus - Mark 13:19.
As indicated in the Tanach, the Old Covenant,
the 70th.Week will be known as “the
Day of YaHVaH.” The purpose of that day is Judgement of those in error
and in sin. The Great Tribulation is divided into two parts. During the
first three and a half years, that false peacemaker, the beast, will make a
treaty with
However, the
second half of the Tribulation is known as the “Time of
As already stated, there are many Scriptures, which prove that the faithful in Messiah Yahushua will be “caught up” before the Great Tribulation. Praise Elohim, for His Word is full of promises to those “in Messiah,” which assures the faithful (and remember I did not say the church) that we will be spared from the “Wrath of Elohim” upon the earth.
“For Elohim did not appoint us
(the faithful in Messiah Yahushua) to wrath, but to obtain salvation
through our
“Much more then, having now been justified by his blood, we shall be saved from Wrath through Him” Romans 5:9.
“YHVH knows how to deliver the faithful
from trials and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the Day of
Judgement” 2
“You turned to Elohim from idols to serve the living and true Elohim, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Yahushua who delivers us from the wrath to come” 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10.
Some might reason that these verses refer to the future wrath of Elohim, being the lake of fire. However, if we cannot claim these promises regarding deliverance from all the wrath of Elohim during the “Great Tribulation,” then how can we accept that He will keep us from the lake of fire? Some will argue that the Tribulation is not the wrath of Elohim, but the wrath of evil ones (those who are against Elohim – called HaSatan in His Word) against believers.
We must remember that the “Two
Witnesses” will be present to preach the Word of Elohim during the
first three and a half years, or 1,260 days to be precise. During that time,
these two prophets of Elohim will be based in
“And I will give power to my Two Witnesses and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth … And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire” Revelation 11: 3 & 5-5.
In the Name of YaHVaH Elohim, these two prophets will have His authority to “shut up the heavens” to the point that the world will be without water by the end of the three and a half years. In addition, they will “turn all water into blood” thus not only will all drinking water dry up but all plant life, produce, and all life in rivers and the oceans will die because of the waters having been polluted. Starvation will be the order of the day. If there is an attempt to harm the Witnesses, “fire” (Elohim's power) will proceed from their mouths that will “devour” and “kill their enemies.” They will strike the earth as often need be “with all manner of plagues.” I am sure we can name a good number of these plaques, for these will be Exodus type of plaques all over again, for there will be tragic times ahead indeed.
These two chosen men of Elohim will execute
Elohim's wrath during the first half of the Tribulation and this will affect
the entire earth. Thus, no one could possibly call these events the wrath of
an adversary (
“And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Revelation 6:15-17.
The faithful in Messiah Yahushua are not destined for the wrath of Elohim. Anyone that teaches, that the Bride must enter the Tribulation are saying that the faithful in Messiah Yahushua are destined to suffer the wrath of the Lamb and Elohim. Never! We shall not enter it. We have Elohim's assurance on that!
It is obvious, if the faithful in Yahushua
(having the Spirit [temple] living within the faithful) were to enter the 70th.week, why then does Elohim place Two Witnesses in
Thus, those who keep reading the Word and pointing to the tribulation saints remember that the Two Witnesses will bring about a massive revival during their ministry, which will make the beast hunt down the Witnesses and in the middle of the week he will capture and kill them and there will be a worldwide celebration that will be seen on TV and celebrated globally. He will leave their dead bodies lying in the square for the three and a half days, but then YaHVaH Elohim, Praise Him, will raise both men from the dead and again the world will see this happen live on TV, but this time, this will result in the greatest revival in history, for now those that behold this event will know that these men were indeed true men of the Almighty Elohim and that it was He who rose them from the dead!
Thus beloved, the second half of the Tribulation is called the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” for these three and a half years will be far worse than the first half, which will have seemed like a breeze in the park in comparison, except of course for that which was imposed on the earth and on those who came against the Two Witnesses by Elohim through His two servants!
