Rosh Hashanah is the only Jewish holiday that is two days long both outside and inside of Israel. Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of High Holy Days that lead up to Yom Kippur The most sacred day for Jewish people. This the time that Jewish people come to reflect and repent of their sins ahead of Yom Kippur. According to Jewish tradition the Lord opens up the Book of life which symbolizes how Jewish people will be judged for the coming year, "opens" on Rosh Hashanah and is “sealed” on Yom Kippur.
Celebration is enjoyed of course with special and most of all blowing of the Shofar which is very part of the life of the Jewish people.
We are spiritual sons and daughter of Israel – and celebrating this festival like the Passover is very significant to our belief as Christian since we knew that Christ requires every one of us to come to him in daily repentance.
So today when you hear the sound of the shofar – that reminds us come to God in deep repentance
It is a call to wake up from your laziness and do something to glorify God!
ROSH SHASHANAH is the time to assess our priorities, examine our heart, our relationship with other and before God. It a time to once again proclaim that God is the rulers of the universe, He is the King.
When you hear the shofar sound today - is the reminder that through obedience, God Kingship on earth has been manifested.
So the more you obey God the more he rules the world. Satan rules all the disobedient [Ephesians 2:2]
But God rules all the obedient. [Romans 13:1-2]Very important reminders to all of us during Rosh Hashanah.
Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. ... If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. [1John 4:20]Let us all live in obedience for God to rules in our heart.
God bless you all. BE Safe always, keep praying and keep making disciples. Keep loving.
