Apostle Malm has declared that the New Moon was sighted in Jerusalem and you can officially observe the Feast of Trumpets Friday! So get ready to start tooting that horn ALL day long!
The New Moon was not sighted east of Judea and at the same latitude last evening. It has been sighted this evening making Friday the Feast of Trumpets as calculated and expected.
It was sighted at 6:30 pm by Pierre in Omer. That is adjacent to Beersheva in the Negev.It was sighted at 6:45 pm by Nancy in Har Gilo. That is a suburb of Jerusalem.
This day is called Yom Teruah in the Hebrew, and Yom Teruah actually means a blast of rejoicing, or shouts of joy.
The instrument used is a Shofar which is primarily used to announce the presence of God; it is used as an alarm of war in the sense of warning the people and calling upon God to deliver.
We see from Lev 23 that: 1) No work of any kind is to be done. 2) This is to be a memorial of shouts of joy and Shofar blasts. 3) A Sabbath and Holy Convocation of like minded persons. 4) An offering made by fire [a burnt offering] is to be offered.
4) Trumpets are commanded to be blown throughout the day. A loud sound is made by blowing or forcing air through the trumpet. This very thought of physical air reminds us of the raising to physical life of all Israel by the blowing of air or wind in Ezek 37. We know that this is physical life, for only the physical need air to live and only the physical have bone, flesh and sinew.
