It is traditional for shofars to be SILENT on the Last Day of Elul, on Elul 30. According to the Torah Calendar, the shofars will call to repentance, to teshuvah, until the evening of 9-21 and then until sunsets on 9-22. Shofars are expected to be SILENT on the Last Day of Elul, from sunsets on 9-22 to sunsets on 9-23. The resuming of the blowing of the shofars begins at sunsets on 9-23. This is when the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah-Yom ha Din) arrives with the Rosh Chodesh of Tishri 1. Might The Blessed Hope be EARLIER than the Feast of Trumpets? Will the Last Trump be heard on Elul 29? Will there be a necessary processing period for millions for 1-2 days before Tishri 1 begins? This year, will the Feast of Trumpets be celebrated by millions in Heaven?
The Messiah has taught about necessary things: WATCH, PRAY, and PREPARE for His Coming. He promises to arrive "at a time you think not." Earlier or later? Vitally important is His story about the Master of his House. The Master KNOWS that the intruder-thief is coming. Certain. He KNOWS he does not want his house to be broken into by the thief. Certain. And he KNOWS that he does not want his valuables (children) to be taken away by the one like a thief in the night. Certain. But he has a wrong plan. HE THINKS HE HAS MORE TIME. TIME TO WAIT. He does a botch job and really regrets it. The Messiah's Plan? Earlier rather than later? The lesson for us now? Dear Doves, PLEASE WATCH AND PRAY every last golden day of Elul. Repent. Participate in Teshuvah (The Return). Even if the 30 days are nearly complete. Especially value Elul Days before Tishri begins: 9-21 to 22 (Elul 29- Charlie Kirk Funeral and the Partial Solar Eclipse) and final Elul Shofars Blown) and 9-22 to 23 (Elul 30-Shofars Silent, THE LAST DAY), into Tishri Days.
PLEASE CONSIDER EARLIER, as well as Later. The next few days, the remaining shimmering golden days of Elul, might fulfill "the bringing in of the fulness of the Gentiles." As of sunset 9-23 for Israel, Shavuot Season will conclude, and Pentecost Season will conclude. Fulfilled. The Lamp on the Menoah goes to 5. Daily appreciate the sound of the shofar. Listen to it online. Blow yours if you own one. KNOW THE SOUND. Make this sound yours. MAKE IT PERSONAL! WHY? Perhaps soon, even within a few days, the SHOFAR LAST TRUMP may sound to PERSONALLY CALL EACH ONE OF THE DOVES HOME!
With Love and Shalom,Jean
