2. The 7th Month Shadow Pictures of the Messiah
Preparing For the World To Come

3. Biblical Festivals?
Should Followers of Messiah be concerned about the Festivals and Appointed Days of the Bible?

4. Shadow Pictures of the Messiah
Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Messiah. Colossians 2:16-17

5. Shadow
skia, (skia) –
shade or shelter from light and any heat associated with it, shade Mk 4:32
the shape cast by an object as it blocks rays of light, shadow
3. a mere representation of someth. real, shadow

6. Reality sw/ma (soma) body of a human being or animal, body
4. substantive reality, the thing itself, the reality in imagery of a body that casts a shadow

7. What is Paul Saying in Colossians 2?
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, Elohim made you alive with Messiah. He forgave us all our sins,
having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Vss 13-15

8. having canceled the written code
ceiro,grafon (cheirographon) - a hand- written document, specif. a certificate of indebtedness, account, record of debts
strictly handwritten document; in legal matters a promissory note, record of indebtedness, bond; figuratively in CO 2.14 not as the law itself, but as the record of charges (for breaking God's law), which stood against us and which God symbolically removed by "nailing it to the cross," handwritten account, record of debts

9. Shadow Pictures of the Messiah
Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Messiah. Colossians 2:16-17

10. Messiah is the Head in Body Metaphor Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as Elohim causes it to grow. Colossians 2:18-19

11. Human Religion Since you died with Messiah to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"? These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence. Colossians 2:20-23

12. Do Not Think… Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Matthew 5:17-18

13. Do Not Think… Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:19

14. Messiah Encapsulates the Law He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" And beginning with Mosheh and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. Luke 24:25-27

15. The Appointed Times of the 7th Month 1st Day – Yom Teruah – Day of Shofar Blast (Shout) 10th Day – Yom HaKippurm – Day of Atonements 15th Day – First Day of Pilgrimage Festival of Sukkot (Tabernacles) 22nd Day – Eighth Day of Sukkot – The Last Great Day

16. Yom Teruah
Again Yahuwah spoke to Mosheh, saying,  "Speak to the sons of Yisrael, saying, 'In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a remembrance by blowing [of trumpets], a set-apart assembly.  You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to Yahuwah.'" (Vayikra [Leviticus] 23:23-25)

17. The Vocabulary. AtB'v; shabbaton – cessation, rest, sabbath observance
The Vocabulary !AtB'v; shabbaton – cessation, rest, sabbath observance !Ark.zI zichron - memorial, remembrance h['WrT teruah - shout or blast of war, alarm, or joy, trumpet blast. vd<qo-ar"q.mi miqra qodesh - qodesh means "set-apart" or "separated," sometimes translated "holy." And miqra means "a called assembly, convocation, convoking, reading, proclamation."

18. Shabbaton The first day of the seventh month is to be a shabbaton, which is a complete cessation from labor. The word shabbaton as found in the Torah is used of the Sabbath day, the day of Trumpets, the day of Atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles, the Sabbatical year and to the year of Jubilee. But, interestingly, it is not used with reference to the spring time appointment days.

19. Remembrance And on the third day in the morning there was thunder and lightning and a dense cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a very loud horn; all the people who were in the camp trembled. And Mosheh brought the people out of the camp to meet Elohim, and they took their place at the lower end of the mountain. Now Mount Sinai was completely covered with smoke because Yahuwah had descended on it in fire; (Shemot 19:16-20)

20. Remembrance and its smoke went up like the smoke of a great furnace, and the whole mountain shook greatly. When the sound of the horn grew louder and louder, Mosheh was speaking and Elohim was answering him with a voice. And Yahuwah came down on Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain; and Yahuwah summoned Mosheh to the top of the mountain, and Mosheh went up (Shemot 19:16-20)

21. So Loud and Fearful For you have not drawn near to a mountain touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness and storm, and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that no further Word should be spoken to them, for they could not bear what was commanded, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot through with an arrow." And so fearsome was the sight that Mosheh said, "I exceedingly fear and tremble" (Hebrews 12:18-21).

22. Teruah The primary meaning is "to raise a noise" by shouting or with an instrument, especially a horn (Num 10:7) or the traditional ram's horn, the "shofar" (Josh 6:5). It is used in this sense in rituals of the Israelite tabernacle (1Sam 4:5) to describe the exaltation of the people of Israel when the ark of the covenant was brought to the camp.

23. Teruah Later in Israel's history in the First Commonwealth, the same root is used to describe the exaltation of the people when David brings the ark to Jerusalem. The poetic description of this in the Psalms (Psa 45:7) and the later glorification of the king at his enthronement by acclamation (1Sam 10:24) has been selected by some scholars as evidence of an enthronement ritual similar to that found in contemporary societies.

24. Teruah
When you blow an alarm (Heb "teruah"), then the camps that are located on the east parts must begin to travel.  And when you blow an alarm (Heb "teruah") the second time, then the camps that are located on the south side must begin to travel. An alarm (Heb "teruah") must be sounded for their journeys.  But when you assemble the community, you must blow, but you must not sound an alarm.  The sons of Aharon, the priests, must blow the trumpets; and they will be to you for an eternal right-ruling throughout your generations.  (Bemidbar 10:5-10)

25. Teruah
If you go to war in your land against the adversary who opposes you, then you must sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before Yahuwah your Elohim, and you will be saved from your enemies.  "Also in the time of your rejoicing, such as in your appointed festivals or at the beginnings of your months, you must blow with your trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings, that they may become a memorial for you before your Elohim: I am Yahuwah your Elohim." (Bemidbar 10:5-10)

26. Jericho Shouts When you hear the signal from the ram's horn, have the whole army give a loud battle cry (Heb "teruah" - shout). Then the city wall will collapse and the warriors should charge straight ahead" (Yahusha 6:5). The rams' horns sounded and when the army heard the signal, they gave a loud battle cry (Heb "teruah"- shout). The wall collapsed and the warriors charged straight ahead into the city and captured it (6:20)

27. Teruah in the Psalms Now I will triumph over my enemies who surround me! I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout (Heb "teruah") for joy! I will sing praises to Yahuwah! (27:6). Blessed are the people who know the shout (Heb "teruah") of Yahuwah. In the light of your face they walk (89:16). Praise him with loud cymbals! Praise him with clanging cymbals! (literally, "the buzzing of the shout [Heb 'teruah']") (150:5).

28. What Do the Prophets Say About the Regathering of Israel
What Do the Prophets Say About the Regathering of Israel? 12 In that day Yahuwah will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Mitzrayim, and you, O sons of Yisrael, will be gathered up one by one. 13 And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Mitzrayim will come and worship Yahuwah on the holy mountain in Yerushalayim. (Isaiah 27)

29. Gathering in the NT Concerning the coming of our Master Yeshua Messiah and our being gathered to him… (2 Thessalonians 2:1) Let us not forsake our gathering together ( episunagwgh episunagogee), as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-- and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25) Another clear reference to the Day of Yahuwah, when Messiah will appear and gather his elect.
David M Rogers

30. The Appearance of Yahuwah Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm signal on my set-apart mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land shake with fear, for the day of Yahuwah is about to come. Indeed, it is near! It will be a day of dreadful darkness, a day of foreboding storm-clouds, like blackness spread over the mountains. It is a huge and powerful army-- there has never been anything like it ever before, and there will not be anything like it for many generations to come! (Yoel 2:1,2).

31. The Appearance of Yahuwah With the day of Yahuwah comes the very presence of Yahuwah: Then Yahuwah will appear over them; his arrow will flash like lightning. Adonai Yahuwah will sound the trumpet; he will march in the storms of the south, and Adonai Yahuwah will shield them. (Zecharyah 9:14,15)

33. The Trumpet in Matthew For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. 29 "Immediately after the distress of those days "'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'
David M Rogers

34. The Trumpet in Matthew "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
David M Rogers

35. Paul’s Version of the Story – Trumpet in 1 Thess According to the Master’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Master, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Master himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of Elohim, and the dead in Messiah will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air. And so we will be with Yahuwah forever. (1 Thessalonians 4)
David M Rogers
