SHOFAR #1

(DAY 1 OF 10 DAYS OF AWE)

  

The shofar is a ram's horn modified to be blown like a trumpet with a piercing, shrieking sound that can be heard at considerable distance. It was used in ancient Israel as an alarm of war when an enemy army was approaching the camp. 

It was also blown at each of the commanded assemblies we find in Leviticus 23, called statutes.  Moses was commanded to re-institute these annual Holy Days which most people call "Jewish Holy Days". In verse 2 of Leviticus 23 we see Moses quoting the Creator as saying, "These are My feast days…" and they are ordained forever!

By who's authority were they discontinued?

These "feast days" have great meaning although most of that has been lost in our world of religious idolatry.  They were instituted so that mankind could understand the battle plan for the conquest of planet earth.  You see, earth was put under the jurisdiction of a created being named Lucifer long before it was even called earth.  Lucifer became ambitious and wanted the entire universe and was thrown back to earth as his domain along with the other created beings who followed him. 

He still owns the earth and all it's kingdoms whether political, religious or otherwise and we can see this ownership asserted in his conversation with Christ recorded in the 4th chapter of the gospel of Luke.  But that ownership (stewardship might be a better description), is a contract and has a termination date that is coming up soon.  At that time there will be an invasion of earth from outer space and Lucifer (whose name has been changed to Satan) will be imprisoned for 1000 years while the earth is being restored from the mess mankind (under the tutelage of Satan) has made of it. 

At the end of the 1000 years, after mankind has witnessed a world of peace and prosperity without the influence of Satan, he will be released and allowed to gather a following again.  In fact he will be allowed to amass an army to again try for dominion.  At that time, he and all who followed him will be destroyed and the ruling city of the universe will be moved to planet earth.  You can get the story of that engineering feat in Rev chapter 21. 

Each year those who have a love of truth and have manifest it, those who know the Creator's name (it wasn't Jesus or Allah), observe these statutes in order to better understand where we are in the stream of time (the plan for the restoration of planet earth).  Today, 9/25, (Tishri 1 in the Creator's calendar), is number 4 of those statutes and is known as Yom Teruah (a day of blowing), Rosh Hashana or the Feast of Trumpets.  It begins the ten days of awe leading up to the day of judgment known as Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement.  Each of these ten days the shofar is to be blown to remind those who still have the capacity to think that time is short and that mankind is about to be judged.  That is what these brief "Shofar Messages" are about.

America has already been judged as a nation and our punishment has already been decreed.  If you are a regular readers of the Commentary & Opinion, you already know this and what that punishment is to be.  You have already seen in the news that the alliance of nations that is to be used as the Creator's "whip" for the chastisement of America is well nigh complete and you see also that our robbery of the world known as "Petro-dollars" has been exposed and the world is moving away from the dollar as a world reserve currency. 

Is this the year of judgment?  Will America's demise come on the 10th day of awe?  We are commanded to go through this exercise yearly as if it was the final year ending the current age we live in. 

Much of the world of religious idolatry think Armageddon is the end of the world and this thinking is promoted by their gurus to keep them in fear and therefore more manageable.  The prophet Hosea was inspired to write in chapter 4, verse 6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
