The Feast of Trumpets and the Shofar Blast of Remembering

9/8/2025

Everyone has their reasons for loving this time of year as we move into the autumn months. In the Philippines, they refer to it as the "BER-months" (ie: SeptemBER, etc.) and others like to give consistent or daily attention to the countdown boards at mall entrances (111 more days to go as of today if you are wondering).

Additionally, on September 1st the malls and department stores begin to introduce Christmas songs! It has always seemed to me that Filipinos are partly from "Whoville" (as from Dr. Suess' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!")...they just love to celebrate Christmas and being over 90% Catholic-oriented nation this makes it with a proper focus, mostly, on Jesus Christ!

But, my focus in recent years during the "-BER" months is the Old Testament Fall Feasts of ..."the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah or Yom Teruah), the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)."

Why? Well because their focus on Christ and also Christ's Second Coming. He fulfilled all the prophecies related to His First Coming in the Spring Feasts and I think it is fascinating and even compelling to know the details of the Fall Feasts and how the Lord might fulfill those prophecies! We shall see!

With all that in mind...here is a fantastic blog article from One for Israel, which is sure to encourage our faith on the first of the fall feasts, the Feast of Trumpets!

Blessings!

This is the ministry blog of Robert Thomas Clark, It is designed to be a repository of inspiring, impactful & influential posts on biblical truth, themes and concepts, which brings insights and initiates inquisitiveness!.

I believe as the guys on "One-Minute Apologist" that we should be ready to provide "credible answers to curious questions".

I also believe in the inerrancy of God's Word as it is trustworthy and verifiable and tied to God's character of truthful. Baucham has stated, "I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and they claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin"

I desire nothing more than to exalt Christ and to lead and equip others for ministry in exegetical method and expository preaching and following hard after Christ, even as I serve alongside many of them!.

Life Verse: “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”
--- Colossians 3:17

Inspirational Quotes:
“There is no aspect of life but that the gospel has something to say about it. The whole of life must come under its influence because it is all-inclusive; the gospel is meant to govern and control everything in our lives… We must realize the greatness of the gospel, its vast eternal span. We must dwell more on the riches, and in the riches, of these great doctrinal absolutes.”
-- Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

"The Bible.
Know it in your head.
Stow it in your heart.
Show it your life.
Sow it in the world."
-- Dr. J. Vernon McGee
