Shabbat shalom, Arley. quote:
ORIGINAL: navyblueret Wrong, wrong, wrong! One for the money, two for the show, three to make ready and four to go. I don't know how many times I said, or heard that over my minimal lifetime [:D] That always worked until that little old lady asked where the beef was. Pooof, Great saying, BBQ'd. Grant Jeffries said: "The "first" trumpet calls everyone to get ready. The "last" trumpet calls everyone to go. "?? The only place I know of that owns what is called the 'Last Trump' is Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah), and there are 99 blown before the 'Last' Trump. That is a whole lot of 'False Starts,' in my book. Ha[;)] Nice try Mr. Grant Jeffries, but no 'cigar.' In Messiah. Arley Yes, you're right about Yom Teru'ah. There are four basic shofar blasts: 1) The Tekiah which is a short blast, 2) The Shevarim which are three short blasts (distinct from the first), 3) The Teruah which is 9 quick succession tones, and 4) The Tekiah haGadolah which is a long, loud blast. These are done in a particular order on Yom Teru'ah to make the total of 99 blasts blown on the shofar before the final Tekiah haGadolah, the "Last Trump." Shofars were used to call all Isra'el together for assemblies, to signal the beginning of a holiday, to call to battle, and to warn of impending doom. The last reason is like our air-raid sirens. THIS is the shofar that I believe is mentioned in the Revelation, especially for the main 7 that warn of judgment. It's a warning siren, much like our sirens warning of tornados and other foul weather, and considering that the first five are warning of meteorite strikes, one could even yell, "INCOMING!" In the Messiah's love, Roy
