with Messianic Leader J. Isaac GabizonRosh Hashanah, widely celebrated as a High Holiday in Judaism, is marked by prayers at the Western Wall, the sounding of the shofar, and greetings for a good new year, yet much of its current observance comes from tradition rather than the Torah, which only briefly describes Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets, in Leviticus. While rabbinical Judaism emphasizes judgment, repentance, and the Book of Life, the Scriptures give little explanation, pointing instead to deeper prophetic meaning revealed in the New Testament. There, Yom Teruah is understood as foreshadowing the Rapture—the moment when believers, both dead and living, will be transformed and gathered to the Messiah at the sound of God’s trumpet. This reveals the true hope of the feast: not merely tradition, but the Blessed Hope of Messiah’s return, which comforts and strengthens believers to await Him with faith and joy.
