Rosh Hashanah – Perry Stone
Jewish people calculate their dates and calendar differently from the Gentile / Roman calendar.
Genesis 1:5,8 — Jewish people people
We got the names of our days from the Romans. We got the names of our months from the Greeks and the Romans. The Jewish people count the months.
Leviticus 23:5 — First month, fourteenth day
Numbers 29:1 — Seventh month of the first day, Blowing the Trumpets
God talks about his feast days by counting the months and the days.
The Tora calculates time based on the cycles of the moon. The moon cycle is 27 to 30 days. The Jewish people follow a lunar calendar. The Greeks and Romans follow the sun. Many of the cultures who follow the sun actually worshiped the sun.
At the time of the blowing of the trumpets is a new moon. When the first silver sliver of the moon appeared is when the Feast of the Trumpets started. In Jesus day, they did not know the day nor the hour when the Feast of the Trumpets would start.
Revelation 22:17 — The Spirit and the Bride say come. The Bride had a helper and the groom had a helper.
Acts 19:4 — John the Baptist was a forerunner of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul
John 3:29 is the friend of the Bridegroom.
Rosh Hashanah — The Day of Concealment by Perry Stone
I. Isaiah 26:19 - 21 : The LORD cometh out of his place to punish iniquity. The Indignation is Coming.
This passage is connected to The Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashanah. Three Themes in Rosh Hashanah.
I. Resurrection of the Righteous
2. Kingship of the Lord
3. Marriage of the King
These three themes are in the book of Revelation
Resurrection / Rapture: Revelation 4, 1 Thessalonias 4
Kingship : Revelation 20:6
Marriage : Revelation 19:7-9
Rapture as revealed in the Bible
- The gate of heaven is open for the home-taking
- In the ancient Jewish wedding, the Bride is carried in a box on two poles (looks like the Ark of the Covenant), held by four men, and left her up, and carry her to where she will meet her husband
- This couple enters the Houpa — the marital chamber, where they stay for seven days. In the Bible, days are inter-changed for years. In the same way, when the Church is Raptured during the seven year period of the Tribulation Period on earth
- Rosh Hashana — the Bride and groom are being concealed together, hidden away, just like Isaiah said in Isaiah 26:20. Come into the chamber and shut and lock the door.
- The time of Indignation is a time of judgement and wrath during the Tribulation Period.
- Yom Hakish — the day of hiding — to conceal, to hide, to cover
- During Rosh Hashanah — no man knew the day nor the hour
- Isaiah 26:19 — Wake up … the Earth will give up their dead — The Resurrection of the Dead
- Daniel 12:2, 1 Corinthians 15:52 talks about the Resurrection
- In the New Testament — Jesus Christ comes back for the Church and then returns with them
- Isaiah 26:20 — Shut the door behind you
- Matthew 24:33 His time is near, even at the door
- Matthew 25:10 The door was shut
- Revelation 4:1 — John was caught up with the LORD in heaven when the door was opened and then the door was shut.
- John 14:2 — Abiding places in heaven
- Isaiah 26:21 — The LORD is coming in Indignation and anger and wrath in judgement of this Earth
- Revelation 14:10 — The Cup of Indignation in the time of Revelation Tribulation Period
- The end of Tribulation Period is Revelation 19
- Zephaniah 2:1-2 — Gather together, before the Day bring forth, that you will be hid during the day of the LORD’s anger — the Rapture is gathering together and concealing the Church in the LORD
- 2 Thessalonians 2:1 We are gathering together unto Jesus Christ
- Another picture is the Moon being concealed. God will conceal His people while the Indignation is going on earth.
- Psalms 81:3 — Blow the Trumpet at the new moon at the time of the concealed moon
- Study the Rapture from the Hebrew perspective. Paul got the revelation of the Rapture.
- The key of the understanding of the Coming of Christ is to understand the ancient Jewish wedding
