Rosh Hashanah Awaking to Judgement!!!

Leviticus 23

We are walking in today:  Rosh Hashanah Awaking to Judgement!!!

Witness awake throughout the Bible:   H5782 uwr spelled ayin, vav, resh--to rouse oneself, awake, awaken, incite, to stir up, to be excited, be triumphant, to act in an aroused manner, a primitive root (rather identical with through the idea of opening the eyes); to wake (literally or figuratively): awaken, up, lift up (self), master, raise up, stir up self

Isaiah 50:4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
Torah: Deuteronomy 32:11
Prophets: Ezra 1:5, Isaiah 14:9, 41:2, 42:13, 45:13, 51:9; Jeremiah 6:22; Joel 3:7, 3:9, 3:12; Habakkuk 2:19; Zechariah 4:1, 13:7
Writings: Judges 5:12; 2 Chronicles 36:22; Job 8:6, 17:8, 41:10; Psalm 7:6, 35:23, 44:23, 57:8, 59:4, 73:20, 78:38;

Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

Leviticus 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

Rosh Hashanah means “Head of the Year.” Just like the head controls the body, our actions on Rosh Hashanah have a tremendous impact on the rest of the year.  As we read in the Rosh Hashanah prayers, each year on this day “all inhabitants of the world pass before God like a flock of sheep,” and it is decreed in the heavenly court “who shall live, and who shall die ... who shall be impoverished and who shall be enriched; who shall fall and who shall rise.”
It is a day of prayer, a time to ask the Almighty to grant us a year of peace, prosperity and blessing. But it is also a joyous day when we proclaim Yahweh King of the Universe.  Rosh Hashanah is the start of the Yamim Nora’im (High Holidays). The holy day of Yom Kippur when we gather in synagogue for 25 hours of fasting, prayer and inspiration, is just a week later. The days in between (known as the 10 Days of Repentance, or the Ten Days of Return) are an especially propitious time for teshuvah, returning to Yahweh. Yom Kippur is followed by the joyous holidays of Sukkot and Simchat Torah.

The season of the high holy days--Rosh Hashanah
What: It is the birthday of the universe, the day God created Adam and Eve, and it’s celebrated as the head of the Hebraic year.

When:  The first two days of the Hebraic year, Tishrei 1 and 2, beginning at sundown on the eve of Tishrei 1--these are the first two days of this year (check the date’s for this year--the Hebraic calendar counts the days differently as the Gregorian...January, February etc).
How:  Candle lighting in the evenings, festive meals with sweet delicacies during the night and day, prayer services that include the sounding of the ram’s horn (shofar) on both mornings, and desisting from creative work.
Greetings:  When you meet a fellow Jew on the first night of Rosh Hashanah, wish him, “Leshana tovah tikatev v’tichatem” or, for a female,“Leshana tovah tikatevee v’tichatemee” (“May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year”). Afterward, wish them a “G’mar chatimah tovah” (“A good inscription and sealing [in the Book of Life]”). 
We’re familiar with the sights, tastes, and sounds of Rosh Hashanah—the sweet sensation of honey on our tongues, the rhythmic swaying of the congregation in prayer, the cry of the shofar piercing the air. But have we ever stopped to think about the messages behind the deeds of the day?
While every commandment is essentially supra-rational—performed solely because it is the will and command of the Creator—our sages have found meaning and messages behind the commandments we fulfill. Let’s take a look at 11 reasons given for blowing the shofar on Rosh Hashanah.

1. The Return of the King
On Rosh Hashanah, the anniversary of creation, Yahweh renews the creative energy that sustains our world. Once more, He is crowned as King of the universe. Just as trumpets are sounded at a coronation, the shofar announces Yahweh’s continued kingship.

2. The Great Alarm Clock
On Rosh Hashanah, the first of the Ten Days of Repentance, we awake from our spiritual slumber. The shofar is like an alarm that calls on us to examine our deeds and correct our ways, as we return to Yahweh.

3. The Reminder
The shofar was blown at Mt. Sinai when the Torah was given. On Rosh Hashanah, we blow the shofar to remind us to rededicate ourselves to Torah study—and to remind Yahweh of our original commitment and sincerity.

4. The Voice
The shofar reminds us of the voice of the prophets, who like the blast of the shofar called upon us to correct our ways, follow G od’s commandments, and act properly with others.

5. The Tears
The shofar’s cry reminds us of the cries and tears shed for the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, galvanizing us to bring Moshiach and hasten the rebuilding of the Temple. (Sod)

6. The Sacrifice
The shofar, made of a ram’s horn, reminds us of the binding of Isaac and the ram Yahweh provided as a sacrifice in his place. By blowing the shofar, we remember the faith of the Patriarchs and our own capacity for self-sacrifice.

7. The Awes
The shofar fills us with awe and humility as we contemplate the true infinitude of Yahweh, how He fills all space and time.

8. . The Introspection
The shofar will be blown on the Day of Judgment when Moshiach comes. We thus blow the shofar on Rosh Hashanah to remind us to examine our deeds and contemplate how we can improve them.

9. The Celebration
The shofar blast will signal the return of the Hebrew people when Moshiach comes. We blow the shofar on Rosh Hashanah to remind us of Yahweh’s salvation in our own lives.

10. The Unity
The shofar blast when Moshiach comes will herald a time of universal understanding and recognition of Yahweh’s unity. We blow the shofar on Rosh Hashanah to remind us of Yahweh’s unity.

11. The Scream
We’re familiar with the sights, tastes, and sounds of Rosh Hashanah—the sweet sensation of honey on our tongues, the rhythmic swaying of the congregation in prayer, the cry of the shofar piercing the air. But have we ever stopped to think about the messages behind the deeds of the day?

During this one month of the year, we are responsible for deep introspection, with the goal of arriving at Rosh HaShanah fully aware of ourselves, what we have done, what we want to do, and where we are going, for change to happen--both in us and in the world, we must first acknowledge our faults. Elul is meant to be disruptive. We disrupt our lives to take note of our weaknesses and strengths, where there is room for improvement and where we excelled.
Elul also gives us a mouthpiece. In biblical times, the king would come out to the fields during Elul to speak to the people while they were doing their mundane work. When he did, they would show that the sustenance on which he lived was dependent on their field work and on their harvest.
According to the Hebraic tradition, on Rosh Hashanah the destiny of the righteous, the tzaddikik, are written in the book of life, and the destiny of the wicked, the resha’im, are written in the book of death. However, many people will not be inscribed in any book, but have ten days until Yom Kippur to repent, teshuvah--sealing their fate. Hence the term Aseret Yemei Teshuvah the Ten Days of Repentance, on Yom Kippur then everyone’s name will be sealed in one of the two books--Yahweh as King over all the Earth!
The Mishnah states that Adam and Chavah were created on Rosh Hashanah. By the arranging of the words bereshit “in the beginning” the phrase on the 1st of Tishri was formed, and this date became associated with the anniversary of creation. Rosh Hashanah therefore represents the day that Yahweh began to rule as King of the Universe. When Adam first opened his eyes and human consciences was born, he immediately understood that the Lord created all things, including himself. According to midrash Adam's first words were “The Lord is King for ever and ever”!!!! Yahweh then Said “Now the whole world will know that I Am King” Shema, Selah--let us hear listen and consider and reflect  what Yahweh is teaching in this lesson!
