Regarding his return, "no one knows
00:00:19.502 --> 00:00:20.804

New year for all of us. jack, i love rosh hashanah,

Jack, i love rosh hashanah, but it's not in the scriptures.

But it's not in the scriptures. >> it's not.

>> it's not. it's not.
00:01:40.250 --> 00:01:41.351
It's not. now, the hebrew words,
00:01:41.417 --> 00:01:42.185
Now, the hebrew words, "rosh hashanah,"
00:01:42.252 --> 00:01:42.919
"rosh hashanah," actually means the beginning of
00:01:42.986 --> 00:01:44.654

Or the head of the year. and it speaks
00:01:46.990 --> 00:01:47.624
And it speaks of a civil new year.
00:01:47.690 --> 00:01:48.992
Of a civil new year. because in ancient israel,
00:01:49.058 --> 00:01:50.426
Because in ancient israel, there wasn't just one new year,
00:01:50.493 --> 00:01:51.761
There wasn't just one new year, there were actually
00:01:51.828 --> 00:01:52.362
There were actually four new years.
00:01:52.428 --> 00:01:53.663
Four new years. you had a religious new year,
00:01:53.730 --> 00:01:54.531
You had a religious new year, a civil new year,
00:01:54.597 --> 00:01:55.965
A civil new year, a new year for kings,
00:01:56.032 --> 00:01:56.900
A new year for kings, and a new year for trees.
00:01:56.966 --> 00:01:58.735
And a new year for trees. and this year, actually,
00:01:58.801 --> 00:02:00.870
And this year, actually, this new year, rosh hashanah,
00:02:00.937 --> 00:02:02.338
This new year, rosh hashanah, is the start of a civil year,
00:02:02.405 --> 00:02:05.141
Is the start of a civil year, the start of a year
00:02:05.208 --> 00:02:05.775
The start of a year where basically god says,
00:02:05.842 --> 00:02:08.244
Where basically god says, "now that we're
00:02:08.311 --> 00:02:08.978
"now that we're starting off a new year,
00:02:09.045 --> 00:02:10.680
Starting off a new year, let's forget
00:02:10.747 --> 00:02:11.281
Let's forget the things of the past,
00:02:11.347 --> 00:02:12.482
The things of the past, let's repent of our sins,
00:02:12.549 --> 00:02:14.517
Let's repent of our sins, and let's start this new year
00:02:14.584 --> 00:02:15.885
And let's start this new year off on a good foot."
00:02:15.952 --> 00:02:17.086
Off on a good foot." >> well, just to clear it up.
00:02:17.153 --> 00:02:18.021
>> well, just to clear it up. there's bible scholars that are
00:02:18.087 --> 00:02:19.122
There's bible scholars that are watching the program and saying,
00:02:19.189 --> 00:02:20.290
Watching the program and saying, "i know my scripture."
00:02:20.356 --> 00:02:21.824
"i know my scripture." >> yeah.
00:02:21.891 --> 00:02:22.292
>> yeah. >> and the first month
00:02:22.358 --> 00:02:23.526
>> and the first month of the year is abib or nisan,
00:02:23.593 --> 00:02:25.695
Of the year is abib or nisan, which begins the period leading
00:02:25.762 --> 00:02:27.363
Which begins the period leading up to passover.
00:02:27.430 --> 00:02:28.431
Up to passover. >> right.
00:02:28.498 --> 00:02:28.831
>> right. >> the first of the month.
00:02:28.898 --> 00:02:30.066
>> the first of the month. the lord clearly states
00:02:30.133 --> 00:02:31.301
The lord clearly states that in torah.
00:02:31.367 --> 00:02:32.569
That in torah. but this is the first day
00:02:32.635 --> 00:02:34.270
But this is the first day of the seventh month,
00:02:34.337 --> 00:02:36.272
Of the seventh month, the seventh month.
00:02:36.339 --> 00:02:37.540
The seventh month. so, go into that
00:02:37.607 --> 00:02:38.541
So, go into that a little deeper.
00:02:38.608 --> 00:02:40.243
A little deeper. it's a civil new year,
00:02:40.310 --> 00:02:42.212
It's a civil new year, but explain how
00:02:42.278 --> 00:02:42.979
But explain how that originated.
00:02:43.046 --> 00:02:45.949
That originated. >> exactly.
00:02:46.015 --> 00:02:47.317
>> exactly. originally, of course,
00:02:47.383 --> 00:02:48.084
Originally, of course, we have the first month
00:02:48.151 --> 00:02:49.385
We have the first month aligning with the schedule
00:02:49.452 --> 00:02:51.387
Aligning with the schedule of the temple festivities
00:02:51.454 --> 00:02:52.822
Of the temple festivities going on.
00:02:52.889 --> 00:02:53.923
Going on. but after the second temple
00:02:53.990 --> 00:02:55.491
But after the second temple in jerusalem was destroyed,
00:02:55.558 --> 00:02:57.961
In jerusalem was destroyed, rosh hashanah or actually
00:02:58.027 --> 00:02:59.262
Rosh hashanah or actually in hebrew yom teruah,
00:02:59.329 --> 00:03:00.863
In hebrew yom teruah, the day of trumpet blowing.
00:03:00.930 --> 00:03:02.131
The day of trumpet blowing. >> now, that's what's
00:03:02.198 --> 00:03:02.799
>> now, that's what's in the bible.
00:03:02.865 --> 00:03:03.333
In the bible. that's -- and that's what
00:03:03.399 --> 00:03:04.234
That's -- and that's what you're waiting for, i know.
00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:06.169
You're waiting for, i know. leviticus 23, right?
00:03:06.236 --> 00:03:07.937
Leviticus 23, right? that this is to be
00:03:08.004 --> 00:03:09.239
That this is to be the first of the year,
00:03:09.305 --> 00:03:10.206
The first of the year, the first month,
00:03:10.273 --> 00:03:11.107
The first month, the first day
00:03:11.174 --> 00:03:12.108
The first day of the first month.
00:03:12.175 --> 00:03:12.976
Of the first month. and on the tenth day,
00:03:13.042 --> 00:03:14.344
And on the tenth day, and then the 14th,
00:03:14.410 --> 00:03:15.511
And then the 14th, you'll do these
00:03:15.578 --> 00:03:16.279
You'll do these preparations for passover.
00:03:16.346 --> 00:03:17.981
Preparations for passover. but this is the seventh day,
00:03:18.047 --> 00:03:20.049
But this is the seventh day, the first day
00:03:20.116 --> 00:03:20.750
The first day of the seventh month,
00:03:20.817 --> 00:03:21.651
Of the seventh month, and the rabbis, right?
00:03:21.718 --> 00:03:23.686
And the rabbis, right? after the destruction
00:03:23.753 --> 00:03:25.054
After the destruction of the temple in 70ad, actually,
00:03:25.121 --> 00:03:28.358
Of the temple in 70ad, actually, beyond that, after 135 ad right
00:03:28.424 --> 00:03:31.261
Beyond that, after 135 ad right after the bar kokhba revolt,
00:03:31.327 --> 00:03:32.562
After the bar kokhba revolt, you have rabbinic judaism
00:03:32.629 --> 00:03:34.497
You have rabbinic judaism establishing rosh hashanah
00:03:34.564 --> 00:03:37.166
Establishing rosh hashanah on the biblical observance
00:03:37.233 --> 00:03:39.569
On the biblical observance of yom teruah.
00:03:39.636 --> 00:03:42.038
Of yom teruah. >> correct.
00:03:42.105 --> 00:03:42.472

>> yeah. >> so, dig into that more.
00:03:43.706 --> 00:03:45.041
>> so, dig into that more. >> the day of trumpet blowing.
00:03:45.108 --> 00:03:46.476
>> the day of trumpet blowing. and of course, as we know
00:03:46.542 --> 00:03:47.443
And of course, as we know in ancient israel,
00:03:47.510 --> 00:03:48.511
In ancient israel, they're holding us accountable.
00:03:48.578 --> 00:03:50.346
They're holding us accountable. very much so.
00:03:50.413 --> 00:03:51.281
Very much so. >> i know they are.
00:03:51.347 --> 00:03:51.914
>> i know they are. >> there were two types
00:03:51.981 --> 00:03:52.849
>> there were two types of trumpets in ancient israel,
00:03:52.915 --> 00:03:54.584
Of trumpets in ancient israel, silver trumpets
00:03:54.651 --> 00:03:55.618
Silver trumpets and also ram's horns.
00:03:55.685 --> 00:03:57.620
And also ram's horns. why two different trumpets?
00:03:57.687 --> 00:03:58.688
Why two different trumpets? different significance.
00:03:58.755 --> 00:03:59.789
Different significance. the silver trumpets
00:03:59.856 --> 00:04:00.690
The silver trumpets were blown as a call to war.
00:04:00.757 --> 00:04:03.893
Were blown as a call to war. the ram's horn was blown as
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:05.828
The ram's horn was blown as a call to spiritual awakening,
00:04:05.895 --> 00:04:09.098
A call to spiritual awakening, that when you heard the sound
00:04:09.165 --> 00:04:10.033
That when you heard the sound coming out of the ram's horn
00:04:10.099 --> 00:04:11.401
Coming out of the ram's horn or the shofar on this
00:04:11.467 --> 00:04:13.069
Or the shofar on this day of trumpet blowing,
00:04:13.136 --> 00:04:14.470
Day of trumpet blowing, it was a time
00:04:14.537 --> 00:04:15.371
It was a time to get right with god.
00:04:15.438 --> 00:04:17.607
To get right with god. >> this is where the hebrew
00:04:17.674 --> 00:04:18.341
>> this is where the hebrew really comes alive,
00:04:18.408 --> 00:04:19.309
Really comes alive, because also,
00:04:19.375 --> 00:04:20.677
Because also, the jubilee is the blowing
00:04:20.743 --> 00:04:21.544
The jubilee is the blowing of the silver trumpets.
00:04:21.611 --> 00:04:22.545
Of the silver trumpets. >> it is.
00:04:22.612 --> 00:04:23.012
>> it is. >> and you could really --
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:24.180
>> and you could really -- can dig into the hebrew
00:04:24.247 --> 00:04:25.315
Can dig into the hebrew and see what's the ram's horn,
00:04:25.381 --> 00:04:27.283
And see what's the ram's horn, the shofar,
00:04:27.350 --> 00:04:28.418
The shofar, or the silver trumpets.
00:04:28.484 --> 00:04:30.620
Or the silver trumpets. but this is the blowing
00:04:30.687 --> 00:04:31.654
But this is the blowing of the ram's horn
00:04:31.721 --> 00:04:33.089
Of the ram's horn on this first day
00:04:33.156 --> 00:04:33.790
On this first day of the seventh month.
00:04:33.856 --> 00:04:34.524
Of the seventh month. >> and you know
00:04:34.590 --> 00:04:35.091
>> and you know what's significant about it,
00:04:35.158 --> 00:04:35.958
What's significant about it, actually, jonathan,
00:04:36.025 --> 00:04:37.327
Actually, jonathan, the ram's horn was blown
00:04:37.393 --> 00:04:39.529
The ram's horn was blown every single month on
00:04:39.595 --> 00:04:41.197
Every single month on the first day of every single
00:04:41.264 --> 00:04:42.165
The first day of every single month in ancient israel.
00:04:42.231 --> 00:04:43.333
Month in ancient israel. why?
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:43.900
Why? because they didn't
00:04:43.966 --> 00:04:44.600
Because they didn't have a calendar back then.
00:04:44.667 --> 00:04:46.102
Have a calendar back then. how would they know when
00:04:46.169 --> 00:04:47.136
How would they know when the new month began?
00:04:47.203 --> 00:04:48.504
The new month began? they would have to watch --
00:04:48.571 --> 00:04:49.939
They would have to watch -- there would be two witnesses,
00:04:50.006 --> 00:04:50.840
There would be two witnesses, by the way.
00:04:50.907 --> 00:04:51.374
By the way. isn't this cool?
00:04:51.441 --> 00:04:52.208
Isn't this cool? two witnesses who would
00:04:52.275 --> 00:04:53.376
Two witnesses who would watch and look for the moon.
00:04:53.443 --> 00:04:55.478
Watch and look for the moon. because in the jewish calendar,
00:04:55.545 --> 00:04:57.413
Because in the jewish calendar, every month starts with
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:58.915
Every month starts with a new moon.
00:04:58.981 --> 00:05:00.049
A new moon. you would have
00:05:00.116 --> 00:05:00.983
You would have to sight the new moon.
00:05:01.050 --> 00:05:01.951
To sight the new moon. but on the seventh month
00:05:02.018 --> 00:05:03.686
But on the seventh month it was significant.
00:05:03.753 --> 00:05:05.021
It was significant. the seventh month
00:05:05.088 --> 00:05:05.888
The seventh month was considered,
00:05:05.955 --> 00:05:06.689
Was considered, "okay, this is the start
00:05:06.756 --> 00:05:08.291
"okay, this is the start of the civil year.
00:05:08.358 --> 00:05:09.592
Of the civil year. let's blow the trumpet."
00:05:09.659 --> 00:05:10.927
Let's blow the trumpet." and on this month,
00:05:10.993 --> 00:05:12.095
And on this month, the people were to believe
00:05:12.161 --> 00:05:13.563
The people were to believe that this was the voice of god
00:05:13.629 --> 00:05:15.898
That this was the voice of god coming out of the trumpet
00:05:15.965 --> 00:05:17.100
Coming out of the trumpet at that time.
00:05:17.166 --> 00:05:17.533
At that time. >> what i --
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:18.301
>> what i -- the connection that i see
00:05:18.368 --> 00:05:20.470
The connection that i see in rabbinic thinking which i --
00:05:20.536 --> 00:05:22.538
In rabbinic thinking which i -- it actually makes a lot
00:05:22.605 --> 00:05:23.306
It actually makes a lot of sense is that the first day
00:05:23.373 --> 00:05:24.707
Of sense is that the first day of the seventh month was
00:05:24.774 --> 00:05:26.376
Of the seventh month was the beginning of creation.
00:05:26.442 --> 00:05:28.277
The beginning of creation. according to the rabbis
00:05:28.344 --> 00:05:29.679
According to the rabbis it's also the event,
00:05:29.746 --> 00:05:32.749
It's also the event, the day that abraham offered
00:05:32.815 --> 00:05:34.417
The day that abraham offered isaac as a sacrifice,
00:05:34.484 --> 00:05:36.119
Isaac as a sacrifice, and what was caught
00:05:36.185 --> 00:05:36.886
And what was caught in the thicket?
00:05:36.953 --> 00:05:37.820
In the thicket? the ram's horn.
00:05:37.887 --> 00:05:38.788
The ram's horn. >> that's it.
00:05:38.855 --> 00:05:39.322
>> that's it. >> the ram's horn.
00:05:39.389 --> 00:05:40.123
>> the ram's horn. and so, it begins a process.
00:05:40.189 --> 00:05:41.891
And so, it begins a process. so, it makes sense to me
00:05:41.958 --> 00:05:42.792
So, it makes sense to me that this is the beginning
00:05:42.859 --> 00:05:44.227
That this is the beginning of a new beginning,
00:05:44.293 --> 00:05:46.963
Of a new beginning, just a beginning.
00:05:47.029 --> 00:05:47.597
Just a beginning. >> yeah.
00:05:47.663 --> 00:05:48.064
>> yeah. >> and you have what
00:05:48.131 --> 00:05:49.632
>> and you have what follows up to yom kippur,
00:05:49.699 --> 00:05:51.901
Follows up to yom kippur, the day of atonement,
00:05:51.968 --> 00:05:53.169
The day of atonement, a period known as
00:05:53.236 --> 00:05:54.570
A period known as the days of awe.
00:05:54.637 --> 00:05:56.038
The days of awe. and i love this.
00:05:56.105 --> 00:05:56.973
And i love this. this is so important for you,
00:05:57.039 --> 00:05:58.674
This is so important for you, the days of awe.
00:05:58.741 --> 00:06:00.009

00:06:02.445 --> 00:06:03.646
Yamin nora'im. so, you've got this
00:06:03.713 --> 00:06:04.414
So, you've got this ten-day period
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:05.481
Ten-day period between rosh hashanah
00:06:05.548 --> 00:06:07.316
Between rosh hashanah or the day of trumpet
00:06:07.383 --> 00:06:08.551
Or the day of trumpet blowing and yom kippur.
00:06:08.618 --> 00:06:10.153
Blowing and yom kippur. a ten-day period that's actually
00:06:10.219 --> 00:06:12.088
A ten-day period that's actually a period of introspection.
00:06:12.155 --> 00:06:14.157
A period of introspection. rosh hashanah, you hear the call
00:06:14.223 --> 00:06:16.092
Rosh hashanah, you hear the call of the ram's horn.
00:06:16.159 --> 00:06:16.893
Of the ram's horn. god's saying,
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:18.127
God's saying, "get right with me.
00:06:18.194 --> 00:06:19.328
"get right with me. turn from your sin.
00:06:19.395 --> 00:06:20.229
Turn from your sin. turn to me."
00:06:20.296 --> 00:06:21.130
Turn to me." you've got ten days
00:06:21.197 --> 00:06:22.064
You've got ten days to think about
00:06:22.131 --> 00:06:22.698
To think about what you wanna do.
00:06:22.765 --> 00:06:23.599
What you wanna do. so, it's a time of introspection
00:06:23.666 --> 00:06:25.568
So, it's a time of introspection and self-examination.
00:06:25.635 --> 00:06:27.236
And self-examination. it is mentioned in scripture.
00:06:27.303 --> 00:06:29.138
Lamentations 3:40,
00:06:29.238 --> 00:06:31.140

00:06:33.309 --> 00:06:34.143
To look in,
00:06:34.210 --> 00:06:35.044
Examine ourselves
00:06:35.111 --> 00:06:37.146
So that we can repent,
00:06:37.213 --> 00:06:38.681
Return to him at the calling

00:09:32.922 --> 00:09:34.156
To kill your son. god has provided
00:09:34.223 --> 00:09:35.424
God has provided a substitutionary sacrifice."
00:09:35.491 --> 00:09:38.194
A substitutionary sacrifice." in fact, this is so amazing,
00:09:38.260 --> 00:09:39.962
In fact, this is so amazing, in the original hebrew --
00:09:40.029 --> 00:09:41.564
In the original hebrew -- >> i knew you were going there.

00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:45.601
>> in the original hebrew, but nobody goes there,
00:09:45.668 --> 00:09:46.535
But nobody goes there, so we need to go there.
00:09:46.602 --> 00:09:47.770
So we need to go there. it says in
00:09:47.837 --> 00:09:48.504
It says in the original hebrew --
00:09:48.571 --> 00:09:49.305
The original hebrew -- well, here's what you read
00:09:49.372 --> 00:09:50.106

Or, "god will -- yeah, god will provide,
00:09:55.978 --> 00:09:56.746
Yeah, god will provide, obviously, a sacrifice.
00:09:56.812 --> 00:09:57.847
Obviously, a sacrifice. but in the original hebrew,
00:09:57.913 --> 00:09:59.015
But in the original hebrew, it says,
00:09:59.081 --> 00:09:59.615
It says, "god will provide himself
00:09:59.682 --> 00:10:02.985
"god will provide himself as the sacrifice."
00:10:03.052 --> 00:10:04.820
As the sacrifice." >> what a picture
00:10:04.887 --> 00:10:05.721

Of the provision of messiah. >> amen.

>> yes. >> and the only son of abraham
00:10:13.129 --> 00:10:16.165
>> and the only son of abraham is spared later by the only son
00:10:16.232 --> 00:10:19.468
Is spared later by the only son of god himself.
00:10:19.535 --> 00:10:20.236
Of god himself. >> 2 corinthians 5:21,
00:10:20.302 --> 00:10:22.638
>> 2 corinthians 5:21, "he became sin who knew no sin."
00:10:22.705 --> 00:10:24.874

Our substitutionary sacrifice, that the ram would die
00:10:27.276 --> 00:10:28.310
That the ram would die so that isaac might live,
00:10:28.377 --> 00:10:29.645
So that isaac might live, that our lamb of god might
00:10:29.712 --> 00:10:30.913
That our lamb of god might die so that we might live
00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:32.381
Die so that we might live and have eternal life.
00:10:32.448 --> 00:10:32.882
And have eternal life. >> i hope you're seeing that
00:10:32.948 --> 00:10:33.649
>> i hope you're seeing that this is a really important
00:10:33.716 --> 00:10:34.750
This is a really important celebration for you

Celebration for you to understand as

A follower of jesus. it really, really is.
00:10:38.721 --> 00:10:39.588
It really, really is. let's talk for just
00:10:39.655 --> 00:10:40.890
Let's talk for just a couple of minutes
00:10:40.956 --> 00:10:41.691
A couple of minutes about traditional observances
00:10:41.757 --> 00:10:43.059
About traditional observances and customs.
00:10:43.125 --> 00:10:43.826
And customs. so, the synagogue is full
00:10:43.893 --> 00:10:47.196
So, the synagogue is full on two days a year, right?
00:10:47.263 --> 00:10:49.065
On two days a year, right? i was telling earlier, jack,
00:10:49.131 --> 00:10:50.399
I was telling earlier, jack, about my --
00:10:50.466 --> 00:10:51.267
About my -- and we have the same
00:10:51.333 --> 00:10:52.134
And we have the same temple basically.
00:10:52.201 --> 00:10:53.102
Temple basically. that it's the same picture
00:10:53.169 --> 00:10:54.336
That it's the same picture everywhere around the country,
00:10:54.403 --> 00:10:55.838
Everywhere around the country, where we have these
00:10:55.905 --> 00:10:57.306
Where we have these large synagogues,
00:10:57.373 --> 00:10:59.208
Large synagogues, these large temples,
00:10:59.275 --> 00:11:00.376
These large temples, and it's only filled
00:11:00.443 --> 00:11:01.010
And it's only filled twice a year,
00:11:01.077 --> 00:11:01.610
Twice a year, rosh hashanah
00:11:01.677 --> 00:11:02.745
Rosh hashanah and yom kippur.
00:11:02.812 --> 00:11:03.679
And yom kippur. it's kind of like the typical
00:11:03.746 --> 00:11:06.582
It's kind of like the typical traditional christmas,
00:11:06.649 --> 00:11:07.983
Traditional christmas, christmas and easter.
00:11:08.050 --> 00:11:08.884
Christmas and easter. these are two big events.
00:11:08.951 --> 00:11:10.519
These are two big events. and we're coming into
00:11:10.586 --> 00:11:12.555
And we're coming into the temple, the synagogue,
00:11:12.621 --> 00:11:15.424
The temple, the synagogue, to begin this
00:11:15.491 --> 00:11:16.258
To begin this process of introspection,
00:11:16.325 --> 00:11:19.028
Process of introspection, of prayer,
00:11:19.095 --> 00:11:19.862
Of prayer, of preparing ourselves for
00:11:19.929 --> 00:11:21.664
Of preparing ourselves for the big event of yom kippur,
00:11:21.731 --> 00:11:25.434
The big event of yom kippur, these ten days of awe.
00:11:25.501 --> 00:11:27.636
These ten days of awe. it's the same all over
00:11:27.703 --> 00:11:29.071
It's the same all over the world, right?
00:11:29.138 --> 00:11:29.905
The world, right? we're praying,
00:11:29.972 --> 00:11:31.040
We're praying, we're reciting liturgical poems
00:11:31.107 --> 00:11:34.043
We're reciting liturgical poems that we're all familiar with
00:11:34.110 --> 00:11:35.311
That we're all familiar with since childhood,
00:11:35.377 --> 00:11:37.179
Since childhood, and scriptures that
00:11:37.246 --> 00:11:38.280
And scriptures that reflects god's kingship,
00:11:38.347 --> 00:11:39.014
Reflects god's kingship, god's mercy.
00:11:39.081 --> 00:11:40.449
God's mercy. and what a --
00:11:40.516 --> 00:11:41.150
And what a -- it's a great event.
00:11:41.217 --> 00:11:41.884
It's a great event. i mean, i really have
00:11:41.951 --> 00:11:42.752
I mean, i really have a great memory as a child
00:11:42.818 --> 00:11:44.353
A great memory as a child of going with my family.
00:11:44.420 --> 00:11:45.688
Of going with my family. >> i do too.
00:11:45.755 --> 00:11:46.188
>> i do too. and when you go
00:11:46.255 --> 00:11:46.922
And when you go to the synagogue at this time,
00:11:46.989 --> 00:11:48.324
To the synagogue at this time, during those days of awe,
00:11:48.390 --> 00:11:50.626
During those days of awe, you're hoping that
00:11:50.693 --> 00:11:51.494
You're hoping that during those ten days
00:11:51.560 --> 00:11:52.595
During those ten days that god makes a decision,
00:11:52.661 --> 00:11:53.863
That god makes a decision, get a load of this,
00:11:53.929 --> 00:11:55.064
Get a load of this, to write you in the book
00:11:55.131 --> 00:11:56.532
To write you in the book of life for another year.
00:11:56.599 --> 00:11:59.869
Of life for another year. and how incredible
00:11:59.935 --> 00:12:00.803
And how incredible that is that that points
00:12:00.870 --> 00:12:02.204
That is that that points to the book of revelation,
00:12:02.271 --> 00:12:04.006
To the book of revelation, where it says that
00:12:04.073 --> 00:12:04.740
Where it says that the books were opened
00:12:04.807 --> 00:12:05.708
The books were opened in the book of revelation.
00:12:05.775 --> 00:12:06.909
In the book of revelation. the desire is, what book is god
00:12:06.976 --> 00:12:09.612
The desire is, what book is god going to write me in?
00:12:09.678 --> 00:12:11.447
Going to write me in? will i turn from my sin
00:12:11.514 --> 00:12:12.715
Will i turn from my sin and turn to him,
00:12:12.782 --> 00:12:13.783
And turn to him, so that i can be written
00:12:13.849 --> 00:12:14.984
So that i can be written in his lamb's book of life?
00:12:15.050 --> 00:12:17.520
In his lamb's book of life? >> two other things,
00:12:17.586 --> 00:12:18.154
>> two other things, a beautiful ceremony that
00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:19.922
A beautiful ceremony that we do every year,
00:12:19.989 --> 00:12:21.090
We do every year, and we take white bread,
00:12:21.157 --> 00:12:22.758
And we take white bread, usually.
00:12:22.825 --> 00:12:23.192
Usually. >> yeah.
00:12:23.259 --> 00:12:23.626
>> yeah. >> and we throw it
00:12:23.692 --> 00:12:24.527
>> and we throw it into the water, tashlich.
00:12:24.593 --> 00:12:26.762
Into the water, tashlich. talk about tashlich.
00:12:26.829 --> 00:12:28.130
Talk about tashlich. this is a great thing for
00:12:28.197 --> 00:12:29.398
This is a great thing for christians to do, i think.
00:12:29.465 --> 00:12:30.466
Christians to do, i think. >> okay.
00:12:30.533 --> 00:12:31.200
>> okay. so, tashlich,
00:12:31.267 --> 00:12:32.101
So, tashlich, for me, is a memory.
00:12:32.168 --> 00:12:33.602
For me, is a memory. and i'll explain why
00:12:33.669 --> 00:12:34.303
And i'll explain why in a minute.
00:12:34.370 --> 00:12:34.703
In a minute. there's a method
00:12:34.770 --> 00:12:35.237
There's a method to my madness here.
00:12:35.304 --> 00:12:36.338
To my madness here. what you do on rosh hashanah
00:12:36.405 --> 00:12:38.340
What you do on rosh hashanah is you get together with
00:12:38.407 --> 00:12:39.642
Is you get together with other people and you
00:12:39.708 --> 00:12:40.976
Other people and you actually take breadcrumbs --
00:12:41.043 --> 00:12:42.444
Actually take breadcrumbs -- in some civilizations,
00:12:42.511 --> 00:12:44.180
In some civilizations, they actually take
00:12:44.246 --> 00:12:45.080
They actually take little pebbles.
00:12:45.147 --> 00:12:45.681
Little pebbles. >> you didn't use wonder bread?
00:12:45.748 --> 00:12:46.849
[laughter]
00:12:47.149 --> 00:12:47.983
We used wonder bread.
00:12:49.118 --> 00:12:49.852
We used wonder bread. >> it helped build strong bodies
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:50.619
>> it helped build strong bodies 12 ways and it helps you
00:12:50.686 --> 00:12:51.921
12 ways and it helps you get rid of sin in 12 ways.
00:12:51.987 --> 00:12:53.389
Get rid of sin in 12 ways. i think we did use wonder bread.
00:12:53.455 --> 00:12:54.256
I think we did use wonder bread. >> it was better throwing it
00:12:54.323 --> 00:12:54.990
>> it was better throwing it into the water, frankly,
00:12:55.057 --> 00:12:56.125
Into the water, frankly, than eating it.
00:12:56.192 --> 00:12:56.692
Than eating it. >> throw it into the water.
00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:57.426
>> throw it into the water. and you take breadcrumbs,
00:12:57.493 --> 00:12:58.194
And you take breadcrumbs, and you walk to a body of water.
00:12:58.260 --> 00:13:00.229
And you walk to a body of water. now, you know why it's a memory?
00:13:00.296 --> 00:13:01.697
Now, you know why it's a memory? because we live in arizona.
00:13:01.764 --> 00:13:03.365
Because we live in arizona. there's no water here.
00:13:03.432 --> 00:13:04.900
There's no water here. where --
00:13:04.967 --> 00:13:05.835
Where -- like, the colorado river
00:13:05.901 --> 00:13:06.635
Like, the colorado river is three hours away,
00:13:06.702 --> 00:13:07.503
Is three hours away, where are you gonna walk?
00:13:07.570 --> 00:13:08.103
Where are you gonna walk? we can't walk that far.
00:13:08.170 --> 00:13:09.438
We can't walk that far. but you would walk
00:13:09.505 --> 00:13:10.039
But you would walk to a body of water,
00:13:10.105 --> 00:13:11.607
To a body of water, and you would take these
00:13:11.674 --> 00:13:12.875
And you would take these breadcrumbs symbolic of sin,
00:13:12.942 --> 00:13:14.510
Breadcrumbs symbolic of sin, and cast them into the water,
00:13:14.577 --> 00:13:17.646
And cast them into the water, symbolically casting
00:13:17.713 --> 00:13:18.681
Symbolically casting your sin into the sea.
00:13:18.747 --> 00:13:21.016
Your sin into the sea. the book of micah
00:13:21.083 --> 00:13:21.784
The book of micah talks about that.
00:13:21.851 --> 00:13:22.918
Talks about that. but you know what else?
00:13:22.985 --> 00:13:24.253
But you know what else? isn't it interesting that we now
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.921
Isn't it interesting that we now have this imagery, jonathan,
00:13:25.988 --> 00:13:27.323
Have this imagery, jonathan, of the sea being
00:13:27.389 --> 00:13:28.791
Of the sea being the repository of our sin?
00:13:28.858 --> 00:13:30.826
The repository of our sin? and again, we move
00:13:30.893 --> 00:13:31.927
And again, we move forward to revelation,
00:13:31.994 --> 00:13:32.962
Forward to revelation, because there's so much
00:13:33.028 --> 00:13:33.762
Because there's so much rosh hashanah imagery
00:13:33.829 --> 00:13:34.897
Rosh hashanah imagery in revelation.
00:13:34.964 --> 00:13:35.464
In revelation. >> so much.
00:13:35.531 --> 00:13:35.998
>> so much. >> where the beast comes out
00:13:36.065 --> 00:13:37.533
>> where the beast comes out of the sea and our sins are
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.469
Of the sea and our sins are gone once and for all.
00:13:40.536 --> 00:13:41.537
Gone once and for all. >> yeah.
00:13:41.604 --> 00:13:42.037
>> yeah. we're casting them away as far
00:13:42.104 --> 00:13:43.038
We're casting them away as far as the east is from the west.
00:13:43.105 --> 00:13:44.273
As the east is from the west. and that's a grea --
00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:45.107
And that's a grea -- it's a great thing to do
00:13:45.174 --> 00:13:46.342
It's a great thing to do and confess your sins
00:13:46.408 --> 00:13:47.443
And confess your sins as you throw a little
00:13:47.509 --> 00:13:48.210
As you throw a little breadcrumb in.
00:13:48.277 --> 00:13:49.278
Breadcrumb in. it really works,
00:13:49.345 --> 00:13:50.145
It really works, and you feel great afterwards.
00:13:50.212 --> 00:13:51.614
And you feel great afterwards. one last thing, quickly,
00:13:51.680 --> 00:13:52.681
One last thing, quickly, before we take a break,
00:13:52.748 --> 00:13:53.949
Before we take a break, apples and honey.
00:13:54.016 --> 00:13:54.984
Apples and honey. >> oh, my god.
00:13:55.050 --> 00:13:55.551
>> oh, my god. >> oh, i'm gonna eat one
00:13:55.618 --> 00:13:56.285
>> oh, i'm gonna eat one of those right now.
00:13:56.352 --> 00:13:57.052
Of those right now. >> i know you will.
00:13:57.119 --> 00:13:58.254
>> i know you will. they're all shiny.
00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:58.854
They're all shiny. >> a sweet year.
00:13:58.921 --> 00:14:00.022
>> a sweet year. it's a sweet celebration.
00:14:00.089 --> 00:14:01.323
It's a sweet celebration. >> we want a sweet,
00:14:01.390 --> 00:14:02.625
>> we want a sweet, sweet new year to come.
00:14:02.691 --> 00:14:03.893
Sweet new year to come. also, we eat a bread
00:14:03.959 --> 00:14:05.361
Also, we eat a bread called challah,
00:14:05.427 --> 00:14:06.228
Called challah, and it's usually like this
00:14:06.295 --> 00:14:07.263
And it's usually like this but it's round
00:14:07.329 --> 00:14:07.963
But it's round and has raisins.
00:14:08.030 --> 00:14:08.864
And has raisins. because it's a round bread,
00:14:08.931 --> 00:14:10.566
Because it's a round bread, we hope that the joy
00:14:10.633 --> 00:14:11.734
We hope that the joy will be ongoing and sweet
00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:13.903
Will be ongoing and sweet in the years come.
00:14:13.969 --> 00:14:14.670
In the years come. >> it's a celebration.
00:14:14.737 --> 00:14:15.337
>> it's a celebration. a new year, you're a
00:14:15.404 --> 00:14:16.005
A new year, you're a new creation in messiah,
00:14:16.071 --> 00:14:17.406
New creation in messiah, that's what it reminds me of.
00:14:17.473 --> 00:14:18.474
That's what it reminds me of. the old has passed away and all
00:14:18.540 --> 00:14:20.376
The old has passed away and all things have become new.
00:14:20.442 --> 00:14:22.278
Things have become new. next, when we come back,
00:14:22.344 --> 00:14:23.712
Next, when we come back, we'll explore how
00:14:23.779 --> 00:14:24.446
We'll explore how messianic jewish believers
00:14:24.513 --> 00:14:26.282
Messianic jewish believers celebrate rosh hashanah
00:14:26.348 --> 00:14:28.250
Celebrate rosh hashanah blending an ancient tradition
00:14:28.317 --> 00:14:29.785
Blending an ancient tradition or traditions with fulfillment
00:14:29.852 --> 00:14:31.921
Or traditions with fulfillment found in jesus,
00:14:31.987 --> 00:14:34.089
Found in jesus, the messiah himself.
00:14:34.156 --> 00:14:35.624
The messiah himself. it's really eye-opening.
00:14:35.691 --> 00:14:36.992
It's really eye-opening. don't go away.
00:14:37.059 --> 00:14:37.526
>> two volunteers
00:14:39.061 --> 00:14:39.662
With jewish voice,
00:14:39.762 --> 00:14:40.829
Patrick and felistus,
00:14:40.930 --> 00:14:42.298
Experienced a life-changing
00:14:42.398 --> 00:14:43.666
Moment for themselves and
00:14:43.766 --> 00:14:45.968
For a boy named gabriel,
00:14:46.068 --> 00:14:47.770
Who was being hunted by a
00:14:47.870 --> 00:14:48.904
Dark, spiritual influence.
00:14:49.004 --> 00:14:50.239
>> the little boy was,
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.107
>> the little boy was, like, say five years old.
00:14:52.174 --> 00:14:53.542
Like, say five years old. he has been trying
00:14:53.609 --> 00:14:54.443
He has been trying to kill himself.
00:14:54.510 --> 00:14:56.111
To kill himself. he had cut marks
00:14:56.178 --> 00:14:58.047
He had cut marks all along his arms
00:14:58.113 --> 00:14:59.581
All along his arms from slashing himself.
00:14:59.648 --> 00:15:01.150
From slashing himself. and his dreams were bad
00:15:01.216 --> 00:15:03.986
And his dreams were bad dreams of snakes biting him,
00:15:04.053 --> 00:15:05.854
Dreams of snakes biting him, people beating him up,
00:15:05.921 --> 00:15:07.222
People beating him up, people killing him.
00:15:07.289 --> 00:15:09.325
People killing him. and his mother said
00:15:09.391 --> 00:15:10.426
And his mother said he was dispondent.
00:15:10.492 --> 00:15:11.260
He was dispondent. you could even tell by
00:15:11.327 --> 00:15:12.161
You could even tell by looking at this young man,
00:15:12.227 --> 00:15:13.529
Looking at this young man, gabriel, that something
00:15:13.595 --> 00:15:16.265
Gabriel, that something was not right.
00:15:16.332 --> 00:15:16.598
>> whatever had gotten
00:15:17.199 --> 00:15:17.633
A hold of gabriel was
00:15:17.733 --> 00:15:19.034
Tormenting the entire family.
00:15:19.134 --> 00:15:20.669
>> the mother was so
00:15:21.103 --> 00:15:22.004
>> the mother was so worried about this child,
00:15:22.071 --> 00:15:23.806
Worried about this child, and she was traumatized
00:15:23.872 --> 00:15:25.941
And she was traumatized to say, "i do not know
00:15:26.008 --> 00:15:27.509
To say, "i do not know what to do."
00:15:27.576 --> 00:15:28.077
>> after hearing about
00:15:28.677 --> 00:15:29.211
The kind people
00:15:29.311 --> 00:15:29.812
Visiting the village,
00:15:29.912 --> 00:15:31.013
The mother brought the boy
00:15:31.113 --> 00:15:32.381
To a cluster of white tents
00:15:32.481 --> 00:15:33.849
Outside the village.
00:15:33.949 --> 00:15:35.718
After hearing about
00:15:35.818 --> 00:15:36.618
Gabriel's horrific dreams,
00:15:36.719 --> 00:15:38.287
Felistus and patrick
00:15:38.387 --> 00:15:39.888
Knew what to do.
00:15:39.989 --> 00:15:40.689
>> so, we took gabriel over,
00:15:41.190 --> 00:15:42.925
>> so, we took gabriel over, told him about jesus.
00:15:42.992 --> 00:15:44.059
Told him about jesus. tell him how jesus loved him,
00:15:44.126 --> 00:15:46.295
Tell him how jesus loved him, how jesus formed him in
00:15:46.362 --> 00:15:47.329
How jesus formed him in the womb, how jesus will
00:15:47.396 --> 00:15:49.765
The womb, how jesus will always be there for him.
00:15:49.832 --> 00:15:51.567
Always be there for him. and that no matter how bad
00:15:51.633 --> 00:15:53.235
And that no matter how bad things are, that he has
00:15:53.302 --> 00:15:55.904
Things are, that he has a friend in jesus.
00:15:55.971 --> 00:15:56.839
>> anyone who knows jesus,
00:15:57.940 --> 00:15:59.375
Yeshua, won't be surprised
00:15:59.475 --> 00:16:01.176
By what happened next.
00:16:01.276 --> 00:16:02.277
>> what a smile

Came over this boy. it was like daylight just

>> and his mother said it's been a long time
00:16:10.252 --> 00:16:11.353
It's been a long time since he smiled.
00:16:11.420 --> 00:16:12.621
Since he smiled. but it was a mile wide smile.
00:16:12.688 --> 00:16:14.690
But it was a mile wide smile. >> yes.

For what he is doing in this place,

To see the smile that came on this boy.

Jewish festivals actually, they're the festivals

They're the festivals of the god of israel
00:17:43.712 --> 00:17:45.714
Of the god of israel and that means you enter

Eating the apples and the honey,

Right before we get there, i think it's important
00:18:15.477 --> 00:18:16.278
I think it's important for everybody to remember
00:18:16.345 --> 00:18:17.713
For everybody to remember that look, jesus, yeshua
00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:20.282

Of the last word of the last book, revelation.
00:18:30.225 --> 00:18:32.227
Of the last book, revelation. he is in rosh hashanah through
00:18:32.294 --> 00:18:34.296
He is in rosh hashanah through the blowing of the shofar.
00:18:34.363 --> 00:18:35.898
The blowing of the shofar. >> it does announce
00:18:35.964 --> 00:18:36.865
>> it does announce the presence of god,
00:18:36.932 --> 00:18:38.033
The presence of god, the summoning to worship.
00:18:38.100 --> 00:18:40.235
The summoning to worship. there's a lot
00:18:40.302 --> 00:18:40.936
There's a lot of important things in it,
00:18:41.003 --> 00:18:42.070
Of important things in it, but it also is connected
00:18:42.137 --> 00:18:43.205
But it also is connected to the return of jesus
00:18:43.272 --> 00:18:45.040
To the return of jesus to the earth.
00:18:45.107 --> 00:18:45.674
To the earth. >> there it is.
00:18:45.741 --> 00:18:46.375
>> there it is. why blow the shofar
00:18:46.441 --> 00:18:48.010
Why blow the shofar in ancient times?
00:18:48.076 --> 00:18:49.011
In ancient times? because the fulfillment
00:18:49.077 --> 00:18:49.912
Is found in 1 thessalonians 4,
00:18:50.012 --> 00:18:52.481
Is found in 1 thessalonians 4, "the lord himself shall come
00:18:52.548 --> 00:18:54.049
"the lord himself shall come down from heaven with a shout,
00:18:54.116 --> 00:18:55.350
Down from heaven with a shout, the voice of the archangel,
00:18:55.417 --> 00:18:56.518
The voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet blast."
00:18:56.585 --> 00:18:58.053
And with the trumpet blast." not the silver trumpet,
00:18:58.120 --> 00:18:59.188
Not the silver trumpet, that kind of trumpet.
00:18:59.254 --> 00:19:01.056
That kind of trumpet. the shofar.
00:19:01.123 --> 00:19:01.657
The shofar. and the dead in messiah
00:19:01.723 --> 00:19:02.958
Shall rise first,
00:19:03.058 --> 00:19:04.026
Shall rise first, and then we who are alive
00:19:04.092 --> 00:19:05.060
And then we who are alive shall be caught up together
00:19:05.127 --> 00:19:06.195
Shall be caught up together with them to meet the lord
00:19:06.261 --> 00:19:07.095
With them to meet the lord in the air, by the way,
00:19:07.162 --> 00:19:08.297
In the air, by the way, that means with witnesses.
00:19:08.363 --> 00:19:09.331
That means with witnesses. and so, we shall
00:19:09.398 --> 00:19:10.299
And so, we shall always be with him.
00:19:10.365 --> 00:19:12.034
Always be with him. but you know what another theme
00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:13.101
But you know what another theme is of the blowing of the shofar?
00:19:13.168 --> 00:19:15.404
Is of the blowing of the shofar? it's going to be
00:19:15.470 --> 00:19:16.438
It's going to be blown in revelation at
00:19:16.505 --> 00:19:18.307
Blown in revelation at the coronation of the king.
00:19:18.373 --> 00:19:21.210
The coronation of the king. >> you have the first and second
00:19:21.276 --> 00:19:23.312
>> you have the first and second coming of the messiah.
00:19:23.378 --> 00:19:24.646
Coming of the messiah. you have the coming
00:19:24.713 --> 00:19:25.514
You have the coming and the return.
00:19:25.581 --> 00:19:26.882
And the return. you have the lamb of god
00:19:26.949 --> 00:19:27.849
You have the lamb of god in his first coming,
00:19:27.916 --> 00:19:29.051
In his first coming, you have the lion
00:19:29.117 --> 00:19:29.551
You have the lion of the tribe of judah
00:19:29.618 --> 00:19:30.419
Of the tribe of judah that has returned.
00:19:30.485 --> 00:19:31.520
That has returned. and a great theme
00:19:31.587 --> 00:19:32.721
And a great theme at rosh hashanah is,
00:19:32.788 --> 00:19:34.656
At rosh hashanah is, embrace the lamb so that you
00:19:34.723 --> 00:19:36.225
Embrace the lamb so that you can welcome the lion, right?
00:19:36.291 --> 00:19:39.261
Can welcome the lion, right? it's better to welcome him --
00:19:39.328 --> 00:19:40.762
It's better to welcome him -- i would rather hug a lamb
00:19:40.829 --> 00:19:41.964
I would rather hug a lamb than hug a lion.
00:19:42.030 --> 00:19:43.098
Than hug a lion. >> you and me both.
00:19:43.165 --> 00:19:43.732
>> you and me both. and the question is,
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:45.033
And the question is, when do we welcome him?
00:19:45.100 --> 00:19:46.268
When do we welcome him? because here's the other
00:19:46.335 --> 00:19:47.069
Because here's the other thing about the shofar,
00:19:47.135 --> 00:19:48.170
Thing about the shofar, about the blowing
00:19:48.237 --> 00:19:49.137
About the blowing of the trumpets.
00:19:49.204 --> 00:19:49.905
Of the trumpets. when they were being
00:19:49.972 --> 00:19:50.706
When they were being blown on the first day
00:19:50.772 --> 00:19:52.140
Blown on the first day of the seventh month,
00:19:52.207 --> 00:19:53.609
Of the seventh month, obviously, people,
00:19:53.675 --> 00:19:54.977
Obviously, people, two witnesses were waiting,
00:19:55.043 --> 00:19:56.345
Two witnesses were waiting, when do we blow the trumpet?
00:19:56.411 --> 00:19:57.613
When do we blow the trumpet? well, we blow the trumpet
00:19:57.679 --> 00:19:58.880
Well, we blow the trumpet when we sight the moon.
00:19:58.947 --> 00:20:00.515
When we sight the moon. when will we see the moon?
00:20:00.582 --> 00:20:01.583
When will we see the moon? we don't know.
00:20:01.650 --> 00:20:03.385
We don't know. the moon is hidden.
00:20:03.452 --> 00:20:05.254
The moon is hidden. and so, because of that,
00:20:05.320 --> 00:20:06.655
And so, because of that, out of that came a tradition
00:20:06.722 --> 00:20:08.323
Out of that came a tradition that rosh hashanah is also
00:20:08.390 --> 00:20:09.858
That rosh hashanah is also called the hidden day
00:20:09.925 --> 00:20:11.994
Called the hidden day or the day that no one knows.
00:20:12.060 --> 00:20:14.563
Or the day that no one knows. could that be why yeshua said,
00:20:14.630 --> 00:20:17.532
Could that be why yeshua said, regarding his return,
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:18.667
Regarding his return, no one knows
00:20:18.734 --> 00:20:20.636
No one knows the day or the hour,
00:20:20.702 --> 00:20:22.304
The day or the hour, but we will know the season?
00:20:22.371 --> 00:20:23.071
But we will know the season? could that season be
00:20:23.138 --> 00:20:24.072
Could that season be rosh hashanah?
00:20:24.139 --> 00:20:24.640
Rosh hashanah? >> jack, i wanna shift
00:20:24.706 --> 00:20:25.774
>> jack, i wanna shift for a couple minutes.
00:20:25.841 --> 00:20:26.842
For a couple minutes. october 7th changed everything,
00:20:26.908 --> 00:20:30.479
October 7th changed everything, not only in the jewish world,
00:20:30.545 --> 00:20:31.713
Not only in the jewish world, not only in israel,
00:20:31.780 --> 00:20:32.848
Not only in israel, but waves of anti-semitism
00:20:32.914 --> 00:20:35.284
But waves of anti-semitism that have really brought
00:20:35.350 --> 00:20:37.919
That have really brought the jewish community here
00:20:37.986 --> 00:20:39.855
The jewish community here in america into a state
00:20:39.921 --> 00:20:40.989
In america into a state of fear and uncertainty,
00:20:41.056 --> 00:20:43.725
Of fear and uncertainty, and it's an added weight
00:20:43.792 --> 00:20:45.427
And it's an added weight at rosh hashanah when
00:20:45.494 --> 00:20:46.762
At rosh hashanah when we talk about repentance,
00:20:46.828 --> 00:20:48.030
We talk about repentance, when we talk about prayer,
00:20:48.096 --> 00:20:49.998
When we talk about prayer, when we talk about renewal.
00:20:50.065 --> 00:20:52.000
When we talk about renewal. and the calling
00:20:52.067 --> 00:20:52.968
And the calling of the followers of yeshua,
00:20:53.035 --> 00:20:57.639
Of the followers of yeshua, you, the christian,
00:20:57.706 --> 00:20:58.840
You, the christian, according to romans 11,
00:20:58.907 --> 00:21:00.275
According to romans 11, is to provoke the jewish people
00:21:00.342 --> 00:21:02.110
Is to provoke the jewish people to jealousy, right?
00:21:02.177 --> 00:21:03.412
To jealousy, right? to break them into
00:21:03.478 --> 00:21:05.147
To break them into an understanding of where
00:21:05.213 --> 00:21:06.648
An understanding of where repentance and prayer can bring
00:21:06.715 --> 00:21:09.217
Repentance and prayer can bring you to a renewal that's found
00:21:09.284 --> 00:21:11.219
You to a renewal that's found in a relationship with god.
00:21:11.286 --> 00:21:13.055
In a relationship with god. >> yes.
00:21:13.121 --> 00:21:13.588
>> yes. >> so, in the midst of shaking,
00:21:13.655 --> 00:21:14.556
>> so, in the midst of shaking, i think there's a great
00:21:14.623 --> 00:21:15.590
I think there's a great opportunity for you that are
00:21:15.657 --> 00:21:16.925
Opportunity for you that are watching to reach out to your
00:21:16.992 --> 00:21:18.694
Watching to reach out to your jewish neighbor and express
00:21:18.760 --> 00:21:20.796
Jewish neighbor and express god's love for them.
00:21:20.862 --> 00:21:22.631
God's love for them. ultimately, the greatest
00:21:22.698 --> 00:21:24.199
Ultimately, the greatest blessing is the gospel.
00:21:24.266 --> 00:21:25.167
Blessing is the gospel. >> it is.
00:21:25.233 --> 00:21:25.701
>> it is. and indeed, in this new year
00:21:25.767 --> 00:21:27.369
And indeed, in this new year that we are looking forward to,
00:21:27.436 --> 00:21:29.404
That we are looking forward to, now that a new year is coming,
00:21:29.471 --> 00:21:31.173
Now that a new year is coming, will you take this new year
00:21:31.239 --> 00:21:33.575
Will you take this new year and make a commitment
00:21:33.642 --> 00:21:34.976
And make a commitment to share the gospel,
00:21:35.043 --> 00:21:36.578
To share the gospel, to share the truth with
00:21:36.645 --> 00:21:37.779
To share the truth with these jewish people,
00:21:37.846 --> 00:21:38.613
These jewish people, now that it's a time of renewal,
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:39.948
Now that it's a time of renewal, a time of repentance,
00:21:40.015 --> 00:21:41.216
A time of repentance, a time of getting
00:21:41.283 --> 00:21:42.050
A time of getting right with god.
00:21:42.117 --> 00:21:43.285
Right with god. will you help carry out that
00:21:43.352 --> 00:21:45.754
Will you help carry out that biblical calling from romans 11?
00:21:45.821 --> 00:21:47.389
Biblical calling from romans 11? that is the question.
00:21:47.456 --> 00:21:49.091
That is the question. >> this is the week
00:21:49.157 --> 00:21:49.758
>> this is the week of rosh hashanah,
00:21:49.825 --> 00:21:51.093
Of rosh hashanah, why not dedicate the next week
00:21:51.159 --> 00:21:53.161
Why not dedicate the next week or the ten days building up
00:21:53.228 --> 00:21:54.796
Or the ten days building up to yom kippur to really
00:21:54.863 --> 00:21:56.131
To yom kippur to really search your heart,
00:21:56.198 --> 00:21:57.733
Search your heart, to ask god to show you areas
00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:59.334
To ask god to show you areas of your life that have been
00:21:59.401 --> 00:22:00.869
Of your life that have been hindering your relationship
00:22:00.936 --> 00:22:02.070
Hindering your relationship with god?
00:22:02.137 --> 00:22:03.205
With god? the people that you need
00:22:03.271 --> 00:22:04.005
The people that you need to be reaching out to
00:22:04.072 --> 00:22:05.240
To be reaching out to and sharing your faith with,
00:22:05.307 --> 00:22:07.008
And sharing your faith with, the people you
00:22:07.075 --> 00:22:08.176
The people you need to be blessing,
00:22:08.243 --> 00:22:10.712
Need to be blessing, need to forgive those that
00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:12.514
Need to forgive those that you're offended against,
00:22:12.581 --> 00:22:14.216
You're offended against, those all are the kinds
00:22:14.282 --> 00:22:15.650
Those all are the kinds of things that the lord
00:22:15.717 --> 00:22:17.052
Of things that the lord has designed to take place
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:18.453
Has designed to take place during rosh hashanah
00:22:18.520 --> 00:22:20.555

So, take advantage of this feast of the lord,
00:22:22.791 --> 00:22:24.259
Of this feast of the lord, the festival of the lord,
00:22:24.326 --> 00:22:25.494
The festival of the lord, and top it off with some apples
00:22:25.560 --> 00:22:27.028
And top it off with some apples and honey along the way
00:22:27.095 --> 00:22:28.096
And honey along the way because it's all sweet.
00:22:28.163 --> 00:22:30.165
Because it's all sweet. we can find

We can find profound encouragement in
