SEASON OF REPENTANCE
The beginning of the month of Elul, the sixth on the religious calendar, commences the thirty day season of preparation for the Day of Proclamation, Yom Teruah which is Hebrew for the "Day of Blowing".(Feast of Trumpets) The shofar is blown to call the people to attention, to sound a warning, to give an alarm and to announce the coronation of kings.
Abba Himself blew a heavenly 'shofar' at Mt Sinai to call the people to attention and to announce His Presence for the inauguration of the covenant with them.
The blowing of the shofar at Yom Teruah is a rehearsal of the future announcement of the arrival of the King of all the earth for His coronation, when all the earth will come before Him to be accounted for.
As a rehearsal performed yearly, it gives the believer a window of opportunity to set their lives in order and find a place of repentance so as to be worthy to escape the coming judgement and, if Y'shua should tarry another year before He returns, enjoy the Most High's grace, favor and blessing for that coming year.
Leviticus 23:23-25 23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 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. 25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
The thirty days of Elul is set aside for this purpose in personal reflection and evaluation to examine our own lives and repent in those areas where we need improvement in our walk with The Most High in Y'shua our Messiah. As such it becomes a yearly accounting and evaluation of our lives in the searching light of His holy Ruach (Spirit).
In this time leading up to the Hebrew New Year Yom Kippur we follow the commandments of El Elyon given to His set apart. We find ourselves following these commands given as a covenant for our connection to Abba. This covenant is not a contract. But a marriage covenant from the eternal groom unto his created bride.
To His created bride meaning the process of living by the marriage proposal(613 principles). The groom writes the living commandments for a lifelong marriage by His laws. The Bride must become one with the image and likeness of the Groom. As given the Torah and its examples of how the bride is to be a wise wife by following and agreeing to the proposal.
This process has been portrayed over and over again in the stories of the scriptures as a great book with one long love letter. Of The Most Highs love, mercy, and long suffering His longing to be one with his children to marry and become one. (Echad) Preparing those who are found seeking truth Studying His proposal and teshuvahing. Returning back to his covenant that he gave and not man made traditions made up by the wrong groom. So For the coming of Elohim as the great groom for His bride the church. Have any of you ever been married before? The wrong bride or groom can cause so much heartache and disaster.
The thirty days of Elul is set aside for this purpose in personal reflection and evaluation to examine our own lives and repent in those areas where we need improvement in our walk with the Most High in Y'shua our Messiah. As such it becomes a yearly accounting and evaluation of our lives in the searching light of His holy Ruach (Spirit).
This season of preparation is known as Teshuvah which in Hebrew means "to repent or return". This season extends past the actual day of Teruah and includes the ten days up until Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, making forty days in all of spiritual preparation.
In traditional Judaism, each morning during the 30 days of the month of Elul, the trumpet (shofar) or ram's horn is blown to warn the Most High's people to return or repent. In a traditional synagogue, the shofar is blown after every morning service and Psalm 27 is included in the liturgy.
In addition to the Shelosh Esrei Middot, the chanting of a number of psalms and prayerful poems (piyyutim) are recited during services throughout the month of Elul. The tone of a Selichot service is set in Psalm 130. The message from Elul 1 to Yom Teruah is clear: Repent before Yom Teruah. Don't wait until after Yom Teruah or you will find yourself in the Days of Awe.
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he has committed, that shall not be mentioned unto him: In his righteousness that he has done (repent) he shall live." Ezekiel 18:21-23
Seek the Most High, all you meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgement, seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be you shall be hid in the day of the Most High's anger. Zephaniah 2: 1-3
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Most High as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Most High is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Most High will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." 2 Peter 3: 8-10
When the spiritual call of Yom Teruah comes, there will be no time for preparation, it needs to be done before hand. For He will come suddenly to His temple (spiritual) to dwell in it in His fullness and it will be to a people who have come to the fullness of the stature of Y'shua, the Messiah.
Ephesians 4:13,16 13 until we all arrive at the unity implied by trusting and knowing the Son of God, at full manhood, at the standard of maturity set by the Messiah’s perfection. 16 Under his control, the whole body is being fitted and held together by the support of every joint, with each part working to fulfill its function; this is how the body grows and builds itself up in love.
He will be coming to dwell IN His people at this time and they will be overcomers during the tribulation period. Those who are not ready when that day comes, who yet need to be purified, will go through the purging of the tribulation period, so that they also will be ready for the Day of Atonement - Yom Kippur.
The blowing of the ram's horn, the shofar, is a reminder of the voice of Elohim making provision for us by providing the ram (whose horns were caught in the thicket) which was then used as a sacrificial substitute for the offering of Isaac's life which Abraham was called to do on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22).
In doing this, Abraham was a type of Father God, Who made the supreme sacrifice in offering up His Son, that we might be spared the penalty of death and have eternal life. John 3:16-17
Therefore, on the basis of our heavenly Father's sacrifice, the Ruach says to us in His word, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." Romans 12: 1
REPENTANCE
The scriptures describes three levels of wrong-doing. These are: sins, transgressions and iniquity.
"And the Most High passed by before him (Moses), and proclaimed, The Most High, Elohim merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgressions and sin ..." Exodus 34: 6-7
The first level is sin which in Hebrew is "chattah" which means "missing the mark or any wayward action due to carelessness, ignorance or error"
The second of these is iniquity which in Hebrew is "avon" and means crookedness or departure from right conduct by consciously departing from a commandment of the Most High God - knowing to do good and not doing it.
The third level is transgression. In Hebrew this is "peshah" which means "rebellion or deliberate persistence of rebellion".
"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom El Elyon imputes not iniquity and in whose spirit there is no guile ... I acknowledged my sin unto You, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Most High; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin." Psalm 32:1-2, 5
There are also three levels of repentance --
The first step is confession. As soon as a person acknowledges his sin and confess it as such, then the power of the flesh loses it's hold on him.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity." 1 John 1: 9
The second step to repentance is remorse. This is a full realization of the seriousness of the sin before The Most High and heartfelt sorrow and remorse toward Him.
The third step of repentance is corrective action. Confession and remorse is not real unless it is followed by a solemn resolve not to repeat the sin and restitution and reconciliation wherever and to whoever it is applicable.
"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Most High, and he will have mercy upon him" Isaiah 55: 7
The whole season of repentance is based on the merciful and compassionate attributes of The Most High toward a genuinely repentant sinner.
“Out of the depths have I cried unto You, O the Most High. Lord, hear my voice: let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If You, the Most High, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared.” Psalm 130: 1-4
The thirteen attributes of the Most High God which are emulated in Jewish prayers at this time are from
Exodus 34: 6-7
1. The LORD (The Most High)
2. The LORD (the repetition of God's name emphasises His provision for all man's needs:
3. El - God the Mighty
4. Rachum: God the compassionate;
5. Vechanun: God is gracious;
6. Erech Apayim: God is slow to anger, patient in
waiting for our repentance;
7. Verav Chesed: God is abundant in kindness to both the righteous and the wicked;
8. Ve'emet: God is truthful and faithful in carrying out promises;
9. Notzer Chesed La'alafim: God extends kindness for a thousand generations, and blessings from our ancestors;
10. Nosei Avon: God forgives iniquity, defined in the tradition as wrongful deeds committed with premeditation;
11. Vafesha: God forgives transgression, defined as wrongful deeds committed in a rebellious spirit;
12. Vechata'ah: God forgives sin, those wrongful deeds that were inadvertent;
13. Venakeh: God will not cancel all punishment, only to those who are repentant.
Let us hear the awakening call of the shofar to our conscience and come humbly before the throne of His grace that we may obtain forgiveness and cleansing from a holy, yet merciful God.
Shema Selah let us hear and fully consider our ways while in the field with the King that He would purge and renew us! Facebook LIVE video
