Shabbat Message - September 12, 2026
Leviticus 23: (v) 23 Adonai said to Moshe, 24 “Tell the people of Isra’el, ‘In the seventh month, the first of the month is to be for you a day of complete rest for remembering, a holy convocation announced with blasts on the shofar. 25 Do not do any kind of ordinary work, and bring an offering made by fire to Adonai.’”

Numbers 29: “‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a holy convocation; do not do any kind of ordinary work; it is a day of blowing the shofar for you. 2 Prepare a burnt offering to make a fragrant aroma for Adonai — one young bull, one ram and seven male lambs in their first year and without defect — 3 with their grain offering, consisting of fine flour mixed with olive oil — six quarts for the bull, four quarts for the ram, 4 and two quarts for each of the seven lambs — 5 also one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you. 6 This is to be in addition to the burnt offering for Rosh-Hodesh with its grain offering, the regular burnt offering with its grain offering, and their drink offerings, according to the rule for them; this will be a fragrant aroma, an offering made by fire to Adonai.

Today is Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah), and the foundational scriptures to read include Leviticus 23:23-25 and Numbers 29:1-6. We are no longer required to make the sacrificial offerings as the Messiah Yeshua completed that work for us all (cf. Hebrews 8-10). Yet as the Scriptures explained we are commanded to observe this feast as a day of solemn rest, not doing any ordinary work, and blowing the shofar. We do this in preparation and anticipation of His glorious return (cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).
