Part #2 (The Fall Feasts - The Days Of Awe)! (10-17-20)
Part #2 (The Fall Feasts - The Feast of Trumpets - 'A DAY OF JUDGMENT WHEN 'THE 3 BOOKS ARE OPENED')!
**BY REQUEST 'ANOTHER SIT DOWN (INFORMAL) VIDEO BIBLE STUDY OF THE FALL FEASTS (YOM HADIN-'THE DAY OF JUDGMENT') and (YAMIM NORA'IM-THE DAYS OF AWE', THAT OCCURS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRUMPET SOUNDS')**
(IF GOD HAS INVITED US TO HIS FESTIVE CELEBRATION, DON’T YOU THINK WE SHOULD ATTEND?)
One of the easiest and best ways to learn about The FEAST OF TRUMPETS and the purpose it is to serve, is to do a study of what it was called in the 1st century, ie; (1st Century Nicknames Of The Feasts of The LORD)! Hopefully this list of ancient Nicknames will help us answer some of the most hotly debated questions like: ‘The Resurrection of the dead and the Coming of Messiah’!
(1.) ‘Rosh HaShanah’- (The Head of the Year)-(Birthday of the World ‘Gen. 1’)
(2.) ‘Yom Teruah’- (The Day of the SHOUT) ‘Literally’ (The Day of the Great Awakening Blast)!
(3.) ‘Yom L’Adonai’- (The Day of the LORD)
The Apostle Paul connected The Feast of Trumpets to the Resurrection of the dead by using 2 of these ancient Nicknames while speaking to us Gentiles!
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a Shout (Teruah-Feast of Trumpets), 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!
Paul uses another Feast of Trumpets Nickname in the very next chapter!
1 Thessalonians 5:1-2
Concerning the ‘Times and the Seasons’ (Feasts-Moadim), brethren, you have no need that I should write to you… (There was no need to explain the Feasts of The LORD to the Church, because he never saw a time when the Church wouldn’t be observing them)
For you yourselves know perfectly that ‘The Day of The LORD’ (Feast of Trumpets) so comes as a thief in the night!
(The Shout’ and ‘The Day of The LORD’ are Acronyms for ‘The Feast of Trumpets)!
(1.) ‘Rosh HaShanah’- (The Head of the Year)-(Birthday of the World ‘Gen. 1’)
(2.) ‘Yom Teruah’- (The Day of the SHOUT) ‘Literally’ (The Day of the Great Awakening Blast)!
(3.) ‘Yom L’Adonai’- (The Day of the LORD)
(NEXT NICKNAME)
(4.) ‘Yom HaDin’- (The Day of Judgments)
The Sages of Israel taught that when the Shofar of The Feast of Trumpet sounded that it announced (The Day of Judgment), where ‘The Books were Opened’! Here’s their teaching from the Talmud, and notice that it written in the section of the Talmud for The Feast of Trumpets (The Day of Judgment):..
Talmud, Rosh HaShanah 16b-17a
‘It has been taught: The school of Shammai says: ‘There will be ‘3 Classes of BOOKS OPENED’, on the final Day of Judgment’! ‘The Book of ‘Wholly Righteous’. The Book of ‘Wholly Wicked’. And the Book of the ‘Intermediates’ (I won’t go into each a description of each Book, but they reveal to us why The Apostle John mentioned them in The Book of Revelation!
Revelation 20:12
I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God (Resurrected-According to Paul, The Feast of Trumpets), and ‘BOOKS WERE OPENED’! And another ‘Book was Opened’, which is ‘The Book of Life’ (The Book of the Wholly Righteous) And the Dead were Judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the Books (THE 3 BOOKS OF JUDGMENT-Talmud)!
I hope you see why this is a hotly debated subject! There’s just simply too much information to consider before we can become so dogmatic about what we think we know! That’s NOT my intension! Could that be the reason that Jesus said that it’s a time that ‘NO MAN KNOWS’! Well, I hope this basic information will help us consider and/or Re-consider at least some of our dogma and talking points! My hope is always be ready, for in an hour you think not, the Son of Man Comes! Amen!
