Tishrei – The 7th month – Rosh Hashanah
This month falls in September or October.
We have come into the 7th month, on the Hebrew (Jewish) calendar, God’s calendar.
In this month there are many powerful feasts of God, which are designed to relate us to His supper natural blessings.
The first biblical feast which falls in the 7th month is called; Rosh Hashanah. Another name for Rosh-Hashanah is called; the feast of trumpets or the head of the year. Rosh-Hashanah falls on the 1st day in the 7th month called Tishrei on God’s calendar.
The next feast is called; Yom Kippur , also called the Day of Atonement in English. This feast, (Day of Atonement falls on the 10th day of the month of Tishrei). Tishrei is the 7th month on the Hebrew calendar, which falls around the season of Autumn.
The Feast of Tabernacles or booths, also called Sukkot in Hebrew.
Sukkot; (Feast of Tabernacles) is the last feast that is celebrated in the 7th month on the Jewish calendar, and it begins on the 15th of Tishrei and finishes on the 22nd of Tishrei.
Rosh Hashanah or Feast of trumpets falls on the 1st of Tishrei evening when the sun goes down and ends on the 2nd of Tishrei, when the sun goes down.
The first day of Tishrei (Rosh-Hashanah) is when the New Hebrew Year begins. It is also called “the Day of Judgment or the Head of the year”. Rosh-Hashanah is the day when God is crowned as King in the lives of those that appreciate His Kingship.
Crowning God King also means; that we choose to have God as the ruler, king and the law giver in your lives, (as it is written in Isaiah 33:20-22).
Rosh-Hashanah is also when the 100 blast of shofar blast (trumpet) are blown to declare God’s Kingship over the entire earth, as it is written in; read Leviticus 23: 24, Numbers 29:1-2, 1 Kings1:34.
According to the Rabbinic teachings, Rosh-Hashanah is also the day when God brings all the people in the Earth under the Judgment of His decisions in heaven. Rosh-Hashanah; the season when God decides who is going to be born,
and who are going to die, the ones that will become slaves, and who will become their slave master, the ones that will become leaders, and those who will be disqualified from leadership etc…).
So anything we do in this 7th month, from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur, can tip the balance of God’s weighing scale on behalf of our lives,
bringing God’s favor into our lives, or His cruel judgment against humanity. Your obedience towards God in this season, will determine, shape, and structure the rest of your year.
But also men’s rebellion towards God in this season brings a curse, and a cruel judgment of God against humanity.
In this same month, (the month of Tishrei, the 7th month), God commanded Abraham to take his only beloved son to mount Moriah, and sacrifice him there, (Gen 22:1-14).
Through obedience to God’s commandment, Abraham became a father of faith all nations in Genesis 22:15-18.
The Lord God also gave us His only begotten son as a sacrifice for the sin of all humanity, (as it is written in John 3:16) due to the passion, faithfulness and obedience that Abraham had shown towards God’s commandments.
Read Psalm 47:1-9.
The seventh month; during the season of “Rosh-Hashanah”, this was the appointed time when God put Adam in authority over the garden in Eden, by giving him possession, and the right to enjoy all the riches that were in the garden of Eden, as it is written in Gen 2:8-16.
In the 7th month called Tishrei, on the day of “Rosh Hashanah”, King Solomon finished the building of God’s Temple on the earth.
On Rosh-Hashanah, King Solomon sacrificed 1000 burnt offerings (on God’s altar) in honor of God’s glory and Name, and as a result; God appeared to him in a vision at night that and gave Solomon the gift of wisdom, riches and prosperity, 1 King 8:2-6.
We recite out loud Hosea 2:14-23.
