Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish holiday that has not been
fulfilled. Read the following article to get a grasp on God's plan for the fulfillment of this holiday.
Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה,
literally "head of the year") is the Jewish New Year. The Biblical
name for this holiday is Yom Teruah (Hebrew: יוֹם תְּרוּעָה, literally
"day [of] shouting/raising a noise") or the Feast of Trumpets.
Rosh Hashanah is actually one day of two days. The new year
does not start until the new moon is spotted by witnesses. When the new moon is spotted then the new year begins.
"During the period of the Prophets, the sanctification
of the months was dependent upon hearing the testimony of witnesses who had
seen the new moon. On the evening following the twenty-ninth day of Elul, the
court would sanctify the day as the first of Tishrei based on the possibility
that witnesses might come that day and testify that they had seen the new moon,
retroactively establishing Rosh Hashanah on that day. If the witnesses did
indeed appear, then that day would be sanctified and the following day would be
a regular day - the second of Tishrei. However, if witnesses did not appear,
then the following day would be Rosh Hashanah and retroactively, the previous
evening - which the court had sanctified - would turn out to be a regular
weekday. So that people would not treat the first day lightly, since its
sanctified or weekday status was dependent upon the appearance of witnesses
during the course of the day, the early Prophets ordained that Rosh Hashanah be
celebrated as a twoday holiday - with the prohibition of work, the sounding of
the shofar, and the order of prayer being observed on both days."
This gets interesting when you figure in this statement made
by Jesus,
"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see
the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And
he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth
forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see
all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto
you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven
and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day
and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only"
Matthew 24:30-36.
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man," was
actually a code or an idiom that suggests a certain feast day when the events that
Jesus was talking about will happen. That feast day is Rosh Hashanah.
Rosh Hashanah is one of two days.
"Rosh HaShanah in 2015 will start on Monday, the 14th
of September and will continue for 2 days until Tuesday, the 15th of September."
Read the articles (links) and I will continue another day.
I'll read them too and perhaps learn something new.
