Understanding the Spiritual and Prophetic Significance of Yum Tarua’ah (Feast of Trumpets) as Commanded by YAHUAH
The Feast of Trumpets, known in Abariy (Hebrew) as Yum Tarua’ah, holds a significant place in the Scriptural calendar. Commanded by YAHUAH, the Creator of all, this set-apart feast carries profound spiritual and prophetic implications.
Yum Tarua’ah: An Introduction
Yum Tarua’ah, or the Feast of Trumpets, is one of the feasts that YAHUAH commanded His people to observe. Unlike other Scriptural Feasts, this feast falls on the first day of the real seventh month (7th New Moon) on the real calendar of YAHUAH. It is the only feast that begins on a New Moon.
The Commandment of YAHUAH
The commandment to observe Yum Tarua’ah comes directly from YAHUAH. In Uiyqara (sn-Leviticus) 23:23-25, YAHUAH instructed His people through Mashah (sn-Moses), saying, "Speak to the children of Yishral and say to them: 'The appointed times of YAHUAH, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times, are these: The Shabat (sn-Sabbath)..." and it continues on verses 23-25 to describe the Feast of Trumpets.
The Significance of Yum Tarua’ah
The Feast of Trumpets heralds a time of reflection and repentance, known as the Ten Days of Repentance, culminating in Yum Kapar, the Day of Atonement. The blowing of the shupar (sn-shofar), a ram's horn, on this day is a wake-up call, a spiritual alarm, for the people to prepare their hearts to seek YAHUAH and look forward to His return.
Yum Tarua’ah and Repentance
Yum Tarua’ah (The Feast of Trumpets) is a call to repentance. It's an opportunity for self-examination and a call for YAHUAH's people to turn from any of their possible sinful ways and return to Him. The shupar's blast is a spiritual alarm clock, awakening the people from their spiritual slumber and calling them to repentance.
Yum Tarua’ah and the Second Coming of Yahusha
Many believers see Yum Tarua’ah as a prophetic representation of the second coming of Yahusha. The Feast of Trumpets is associated with the future "last trump" when Yahusha will return to gather His chosen believers to Himself (YAHUAH). This event will be announced by a supernatural shupar (trumpet) blast.
The Blowing of the Shupar (Trumpet)
The shupar, or ram's horn, plays a central role in the observance of Yum Tarua’ah. The sound of the shupar is supposed to remind us of our covenant relationship with YAHUAH. It serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of YAHUAH's grace and mercy.
Yum Tarua’ah: A Call to Worship
Yum Tarua’ah is not only a call to repentance but also a call to worship. It's a time for YAHUAH's people to come together in worship, to praise Him and to thank Him for His goodness. The shupar's blast is a call to worship, a call to gather as a community and lift up our voices in praise to YAHUAH.
Yum Tarua’ah in the Bariyt Hadash
(New Testament)
The theme of Yum Tarua’ah, the sounding of trumpets, is mentioned in the Bariyt Hadash (New Testament). The Emissary (sn-Apostle) Shaul (SN-Paul), in 1 Qaranatiym (sn-Cor) 15:52, refers to the "last trumpet," at which time the dead in Yahusha will be raised imperishable, and alive believers at the time will be changed in a blink of an eye.
The Prophetic Significance of Yum Tarua’ah
The Yum Tarua’ah (Feast of Trumpets) is laden with prophetic significance. It's seen as a foreshadowing of the Day of the YAHUAH, a time of judgment when YAHUAH will make a reckoning with all people. The shupar's blast on Yum Tarua’ah is a reminder of this coming day of judgment and the need for repentance.
Yum Tarua’ah: A Call to Prepare
Yum Tarua’ah is a call to prepare for YAHUAH's coming judgment. It's a time to examine our lives, to repent of our sins, and to make things right with YAHUAH and with others. As we hear the shupar's blast, let us remember YAHUAH's mercy and grace, and let us prepare our hearts to meet Him.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Yum Tarua’ah (Feast of Trumpets), is a significant event in the true Scriptural Calendar. Commanded by YAHUAH Himself, it serves as a reminder of our covenant relationship with Him, a call to repentance, and a foreshadowing of the coming Day of the YAHUAH.
