5.Trumpets Herald World Events

Yom Teruah is the real name of God’s fifth holy convocation (appointed time), 4 months after Pentecost & 10 days before Yom Kippur.

I prefer to use the real names if possible:

Yom Teruah is the Day of Shouting or Trumpet Blowing

The spring appointed days were fulfilled by Jesus Christ in His first coming.

The question: What is the fulfillment of Yom Teruah?

Beautiful creatures! All glory to God in the highest!

Since then. the agreements have been progressing. Any one can know about that part now if they pay attention to quality news. This post is focusing on the foundational agreements and how they were associated with Yom Teruah, God’s times for sounding trumpets.

Has the First Seal of the Restrainer been Removed?

It really seemed like the beginning of the Day of the Lord, the Time of Jacob’s Trouble was looming in 2023.

Take a quick look at what was already set up in Iran in the Summer of 2023:

5.9 Glory God Beyond

Why was the world so asleep, including Christians?

And take a look in your Bible, at the territories/countries/states that were and still are aligning. Most of the territories in the Ezekiel 38 prophesy were states/nations/kingdoms that refused, at least until 2023, to recognize Israel’s existence.

Further information see 25. Maps Confirm the Mark.

The Masoretic text mis-translation of Numbers 24, has caused Gog and Magog to be incorrectly drawn by many scholars on maps . . . showing Magog as if it simply remained in Asia Minor, where it began. The Bible describes it as the four corners of the earth. See post 27. The Beast is a Gog.

5.10 Glory God Beyond

Keep that in mind, when reading the Ezekiel link below: The Mark of the Beast areas in the final tribulations are most passionately rooted in the lands surrounding Israel; But a good study reveals something about how their branches have spread; Especially Magog! And approximately 4 other of those ancient peoples are still rooted in what we call modern day Turkey, although they’ve spread as well, although to a lesser degree. The details are speculative, but since Iran’s in the process of getting new leadership, Iran must soon be seduced or forced to join the strong new Sunni alliances that are now congealing, because, as we know, they’ll fight along side Turkey against Israel in the Gog Magog war.

Ezekiel 38:8 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2038-39&version=NIV . . .

That link may need basic explanation: When Ezekiel speaks of Gog of the land of Magog who’s the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (Meshech and Tubal eventually expanded upward through the Caucasus Mountains toward what became Russia.) Gog is merely the title of the chief prince of the dominant tribe that descended from Noah’s first son Japheth, after the flood. The dominant tribe of Japheth was Magog, and the reason that only his ‘land’ was specifically mentioned by Ezekiel is that it’s mainly Magog, who will have spread across the whole Earth by the time the prophesy would come true. Magog, Meshech and Tubal, all born to Japheth are the part of the roots of the Caucasian people and they originally rooted in Anatolia, which is modern day Turkey.

Map showing where some of the descendants of Japheth started and from, where some of them still have roots. Very much later, many Islamic Turks moved in and conquered Anatolia:

But the Turks are also descended from Japheth; And therefore, they may also fall under the general heading of ‘Magog’ at times, because traditionally the dominant tribe of a family of tribes is often used to name or address the entire family of tribes.

Ezekiel also mentioned that 5 more peoples would join those: Persia (which is Iran), Cush, Put, Gomer and Gomer’s son’s tribe ‘Beth Togarmah’.

Details

Persia/Iran

Japheth had a son Madai who, instead of settling in Anatolia, went East to what became the upper half of the ancient Persian Empire. They came to be called the Medes; The Iranian Kurds are descended from them.

Noah’s second son Shem was the father of Elam, ancestor of the Elamites who make up a great part of Southern Iran. The area that’s still named Elam is on three Gulf of Hormuz and contains the Bushehr Nuclear power plant.

Cush

Descended from Noah’s son Ham, Cush is one of the original two tribes that settled in Africa, but mainly rooted in the areas south of Egypt – centering on what we call Sudan today (originally ‘Ethiopia’ in the Bible).

Put (Phut)

Descended from Noah’s son Ham. Put is one of the original two tribes that settled in Africa, but mainly rooted in North Africa – centering on what we call Libya today.

Gomer and Togarmah

Gomer a son of Japheth is unique because, although he originally set roots in Anatolia, his tribe spread not only East but to the Northern most Central Asia, especially through his son Beth-Togarmah’s tribe. They came to be called the Turks, the same Turks who returned to Anatolia, conquered the Byzantine Empire and established the Ottoman Empire there under Islam!

Gomer

Not all of Gomer’s sons expanded Northeastward; In fact, some of his sons tribes expanded westward and then northward into the areas we now call Europe. (In fact, that part is more well known to Bible scholars, probably because historically, most of them were westerners themselves and thus knew their own history more that the history of central Asia.)

Dec. 2025 update: Since I started this post in 2023, the Nazi spirit has nearly consumed the world. Although God has allowed this because of the continuing rebellion of the Jews against Himself, immediately after Armageddon and Jesus Christ’s triumph over satan’s Beast system and false prophet, Jesus will severely judge the nations that came against Israel. The ‘Valley of Jehoshaphat’ is where that judgment will take place.

The true Church must absolutely not join the world against the Jews, because we’re the grafted on branches of the Olive Tree of Israel by our faith in the true Jewish Messiah, the Son of God. WE are the hidden Israel! But the biological Israel is our roots and Israel the land will be our homeland during Jesus Christ’s Millennial Kingdom. We are Ester. She’s our model. Get ready, Jesus is coming very soon and so is the final showdown between good and evil!

In conclusion, let me be a cheer leader:

It seems clear to me that the 7 yr countdown has begun. We need to be ready every day! We the church, have been most of the branches of the ‘Olive Tree of Israel’ since 70 AD. Let’s smash our olives [consume/masticate the WORD of God, who is Jesus Christ (remember He said ‘eat Me’)] to prepare extra oil for our lamps so we can burn, shining the light of truth unto the world! Now! Let’s FORGIVE everybody! MAINTAIN clean garments! STAY AWAKE! KEEP our EYES on the KINGDOM! And, by all means, GET EXCITED!

6.The Day No Men Knew

It’s pretty clear now that Christ won’t be gathering His bride on a Yom Teruah. But, it’s been a high watch date every year. For more on that part of ‘the day no men knew’ discussion see the bottom of this post.

A Pretty Comprehensive Analysis of Yom Teruah:

Yom Teruah, which was traditionally observed with 100 trumpet blows, with the first and last soundings being special long blows, had traditionally been called the, ‘the day that no man knows.’ It’s a Hebrew idiom:

https://isaiahsixtyoneseven.blogspot.com/2020/09/feast-of-trumpets-day-that-no-man-knows.html . . .

It was the only Torah appointed-day that began exactly when the ‘new moon’ was sighted by two eye witnesses from Jerusalem.

The people of God had to be on their toes, because the festival was a special High Sabbath.

6.1 Glory God Beyond

It can be quite difficult to determine the first sliver of the month when the sky isn’t clear. Some months have two invisible moons in a row, and also in certain months, the first sliver is very thin. The first sliver is also challenging to see because it appears low on the horizon. Modern astronomers call the unseen moon a ‘new moon,’ but for the Israelites, the first sliver was the new moon. It wouldn’t have been very festive to sight an invisible moon.

Contrary to what some Bible expositors believe, there’s no mention of equinoxes in the Torah. God’s Torah calendar used a different way to prevent the first month, Nisan, from slipping into Winter. They added an intercalary month called ‘Adar II’ in the years when Spring hadn’t yet sprung and barley heads hadn’t turned green at Winter’s end.

The determination of the exact day upon which Yom Teruah would be observed on their corrupted calendar was left up to authority’s discretion. They would sometimes use the ‘head of their year’ event as an excuse to add an extra day between the end of the previous civil year, for various reasons, including a misplaced unnecessary fine tuning of the time differences between the lunar and solar cycles.

As mentioned above, Winter’s end add on leap months were an attribute of God’s Torah calendar that they kept because the scribes and priesthood still tried to keep track of the Torah calendar, even until the 2nd temple was destroyed; But unfortunately, it was very perverted by the populace who was celebrating Rosh Hashanah in the Fall! Perhaps that’s why there’s no record of Jesus attending Rosh Hashanah in the Gospels. Most modern Jews don’t even know what we’re talking about when we mention the terms Yom Teruah or Feast of Trumpets.

Fall Festivity

After the destruction of the second temple, Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets, became utterly supplanted by the spirit of the celebration of rebellion and a false new year, although trumpets are still blown.

Yom Teruah, which means day of shouting and trumpet blowing was commanded by YHWH in Leviticus 23:24 and Numbers 29:1:

https://biblehub.com/leviticus/23-24.htm https://biblehub.com/numbers/29-1.htm

It was commanded to be observed by Hebrew Israel as one holy day. And it’s the only holy convocation for which God gave no clear reason for its observance. That’s part of what makes it so mysterious! I believe it was always foreshadowing the urgent warnings that will take place in and around the final years of Daniel 9. The fact that it precedes the ten solemn days of repentance leading up to the Day of Atonement gives us an ominous clue that that Yom Teruah will be used as harbinger in the end times to alert us that the Time of Jacob’s Trouble is drawing near.

It’s become well known that it was also a common phrase among the participants of Yom Teruah to utter ‘no one knows the hour’ regarding when the last trumpet will be blown. That was part of the intrigue as the festival approached the dark night.

Solemnity

Trumpets as Mysterious Harbingers

https://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/month.asp?hdate=7/1&mode=j

According to the Gregorian calendar, yet still based on the imperfect Hebrew calendar used by Chabad, the date/time for the conclusion of the observation of the Feast of Trumpets 2023 was Sept. 17, the second day of the Rabbinical calendar new year. And something very notable occurred that I call Jesus’s Midnight Portent, a foreshadowing of His Midnight Cry.

The trumpets were blown the day before the UN SDG 2030 Agenda Summit began and the next day, the major agreement was ratified. see

3. Midnight Cry Portent 

https://alephtav.blog/2024/08/30/3-the-cry/

On October 7, 2023, 21 days after those trumpets were blown, and 19 days after the SDG 2030 Agenda was ratified, Hamas brutally attacked Israel at the Nova concert.

There was also one of God’s celestial signs: Comet Nishimura reached its perihelion on Sept. 17, 2023 while it was passing through Leo, representing the Lion of Judah on its way to Virgo, which represents Israel in the Rev. 12 and Purim signs.

Regarding the Sept. 17, 2023 date I gave above for the Midnight Portent, I said it happened on the ‘conclusion of’ Yom Teruah? Why? Wasn’t it commanded by YHWH as one appointed day? Wasn’t the last trumpet of Yom Teruah supposed to be blown only on the first day of the month?

Ancient traditions developed, for Jews outside Israel, to extend nearly all Torah holy convocations by a day, because of great difficulty keeping track of a Jerusalem-centric lunar calendar from afar; They didn’t want to inadvertently miss the actual day that God commanded. That’s why our calendars for 2023 show both Sept. 16 and Sept. 17 as Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah. Also, no trumpets at all were blown on Sept. 16 that year because it fell on a weekly Sabbath.

Strangely not blowing trumpets when the Feast of Trumpets falls on a weekly Sabbath came to be the tradition, despite the fact that Feast of Trumpets itself is a High Sabbath, in which trumpet blowing was commanded!

Although Hebrew days begin at sunset . . .

. . . when we refer to Hebrew days by the Gregorian calendar, we go by the date that corresponds to its ‘daylight portion’ otherwise it gets confusing. Example, when we refer to ‘Sept 16’ as the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishri, it’s understood that Tishri 1 actually began, not at midnight, but about six hours before that, at sunset (literally on Sept 15.)

Metonic Cycle

Despite the fact the Jews had the mathematical, Metonic Cycle calendar, possibly as early as around 380 BC, which may have assisted the leaders of the diaspora Jewish communities to keeping track, they decided to continue observing the extra days for their supposed holy convocations.

6.7 Glory God Beyond

A very good thing is that at the time Jesus walked the Earth in the flesh, they still hadn’t considered the Metonic calendar to be completely reliable, and so were continuing to add leap year months at the end of Winter when necessary. This information was very difficult to come by; It may prove important for estimating the date upon which Christ was crucified:

The Hebrew Calendar of the Second Temple Era

https://biblearchaeology.org/abr-projects/the-daniel-9-24-27-project-2/5035-the-hebrew-calendar-of-the-secon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not until the fourth century did Rabbinical Judaism fully institute the Metonic calendar. When they did, Rabbinical authorities invented statutes to artificially constrain the days upon which the Feast of Trumpets could start, to Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays, in order to keep other high holy days of that month from falling on ‘undesirable’ days. This does not please God.

6.8 Glory God Beyond

The Rebirth of National Israel in 1948. . .

Regarding calendars, if that’s not enough, and there’s actually a lot more, including missing years on the Anno Mundi rabbinical calendar. One thing that really demonstrates the degradation of Torah holy convocation time keeping, is that even since the ‘Fig Tree Generation’ put forth its tender shoots and leaves, The Nation of Israel was re-established in 1948, the Feast of Trumpets is still celebrated for two days even IN ISRAEL!

1 Corinthians 15: 51-52, Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in 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.
