Christianity is very disconnected from the Jewish calendar, but God counts accordingly. So understanding this calendar is helpful. Here’s a little explanation about this current holiday:
Jewish tradition teaches that the LORD created the universe on Rosh Hashanah—or on the 25th of Elul, so that this day marks the sixth day of creation, when He formed Adam and Eve.
Scripture also calls this day Yom HaZikaron, the Day of Remembrance (Leviticus 23:24). We are commanded to remember to sound the shofar—the teruah—and to crown the LORD as King of the Universe.
That blast is meant to jolt us awake. It calls us out of spiritual slumber so we remember who we really are: a people who belong to the King.
“For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great King over all the earth.” (Psalm 47:2)
May the sound of the shofar this Rosh Hashanah 5787 turn our hearts toward the One who made us, who remembers us, and who still reigns.
Shanah Tovah (Jewish greeting during feast days).
The LORD is King.
