- Great & Terrible Day of the Lord - Days of Judgment begin for Israel and the nations
- The Day of Remembrance - books of remembrance are opened
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned...
...For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!There is way too much significance for this day to let it just slip by every year with no time to stop and think about it... the following note from Wikipedia is a summary of the important events that happened on this day in ancient history. And a slightly different set of titles used for this day.
1. the day of blowing 2. the day of remembrance 3. the Birthday of the world 4. Inauguration of the plan of redemption - After Adam sinned. 5. Day of Concealment - "no man knows the day or the hour" it comes by observation. 6. sort of hints as the wedding day 7. beginning of ten days of judgment culminating on The Day of Atonement
THE NAMING OF THE FEAST
While the other appointed feasts are given a name, this feast has no real title. It is simply "Yom Teruah" – the Day of Blowing (Numbers 29:1). It is actually a festival centered on the blowing of the shofar as the distinguishing feature of the day, which calls us to attention in fear and reverence of God’s holiness and sovereignty in preparation and warning of His coming judgment, which is on Yom Kippur. As such it is a yearly "trumpet call", an awakening blast of the shofar which foreshadows the call to His elect to prepare themselves so that they will not come into judgment with the rest of the world when He comes to establish His kingdom upon this earth.
It is also called “Yom Ha Zikkaron” (the day of remembrance - Leviticus 23:24). It is a memorial of the day of creation when the morning stars sang together and shouted for joy at His handiwork in creation (Job 38: 7). In Genesis 1: 1, the word Bereishit, “in the beginning,” when changed around, reads Aleph b’ Tishri, or “on the first of Tishri.” Therefore it is also known as the birthday of the world, Yom HaDat Olam (Birth-Day of the World - E. Chumney).
It is also the memorial of the inauguration of the plan of redemption when, after Adam sinned, Yahweh God revealed to him the sacrificial lamb as an atonement. Therefore the rabbis understood that man would be judged also on this anniversary. Just as God forgave Adam, so He would forgive those who repent during the ten Days of Penitence before His final accounting and judgment of the world on Yom Kippur. (Tanchuma, Vayero 22:13)
It is also the memorial of God’s grace to Abraham when He substituted a ram to be sacrificed instead of Isaac (Genesis 22), which was a foreshadowing of the crucifixion of Yahweh's own beloved Son, offered as a sacrifice for our sins (John 3:16), who was the sacrificial Lamb in the plan of redemption revealed to Adam.
As there is an accounting made of each person's spiritual standing on this day as a preliminary determination of their eternal destiny and spiritual heritage, it is also called Yom HaDin (Day of Judgment).
It is also known as Yom HaKeseh (Day of Concealment) because it falls on the first day of the month and its advent awaits the appearance of the new moon, so the 'hour and the day' of its arrival is not known in advance. In this manner, it typifies the coming of the heavenly Bridegroom for His Bride who has spiritually prepared herself to be ready for the occasion, without spot or blemish. Matthew 24:36; 25: 1-13; Revelation 19: 6b-8
His Bride-in-waiting, it is a pre-advent yearly celebration of the anticipated marriage union. John 14: 1-3
The present tradition is to make this the beginning of the civil year, calling it Rosh Hashanah as it is a time of new beginnings, but the scriptural new year was set by Yahweh God to be at Nisan/Abib, the month for Passover.
