The birth of the universe and everything in it

The Fall Feasts High Holy days and rebirth/ renewal

  It is each new year during the Feasts that the sound of the Shofar is sounded.  It is said that during this time there is a rebirth or a renewing of the universe and everything in it.  

  The Shofar (ram’s horn )  sounded during the month of Elul, on Rosh HaShanah and at the close of Yom Kippur; reminiscent of the ram “tangled in the bush by its horns”  ( the sacrificial ram ) during the Binding of Isaac (Genesis 22), the shofar sounded at Sinai (Exodus 19)and the shofar of Moshiach (Isaiah 27:13)

Genesis 22- The binding of Isaac - The Binding of Isaac - Genesis 22 

Exodus 19  - The Shofar sounding -  The Shofar sounding - Exodus 19

Isaiah 27:13 -The Shofar of the spirit of God - The shofar of the Spirit of God - Isaiah 27:13

  During this time of the rebirth, of the universe, and all those in it -  this is a time of resolution for our prayers.  During this time we hold awesome power to our prayers.  This is our time on the mountain like Abraham. 

  This is the time like the child of the newborn year, the Feasts, how soon will there be new breath, new life, how soon will this child be able to get up and walk-  to take us through the next twelve months of the new birth year?  

  We experience similar on the birth of the new moon- which is the beginning of a new month -  that life is renewed again.  

  We experience new life every morning at the end of the night - it is nighttime that is similar to the taste of death. 

  It is at every moment in time that the particles of the earth, when every living being, all of life, nature and creation - that are burst into the universe of life and it is recreated.  A newness , a new beginning during these times of renewal. Just at it was at the beginning of time. 

  This is reason to have Hope and Faith - the time for renewal- a new beginning life is reborn and new again.  This is where we become masters of how this moment will be born again for the new year. 

  My prayer for our girls is that we should daily sacrifice our lives to God like Isaac.  Not for others but so that we can be in active mission and service to God.  God will renew generations of lives not just our own.  My prayer is that when we sound our voices ( our shofar)  to tell others about God - and His renewal of life we exile ourselves but we also exile others. 

  This will then tune others ears to the sound of the spirit of God.  Where His spirit will dwell among us , through others , with goodness, kindness, and the outpouring of love and those who are peacemakers.  This is the time of the shofar ( or sound - a time to hear ) and see the presence of the Spirit of God who lives in each person who carries His fruit.  When this happens the new city will be on the earth.  What a glorious day that will be - the day of the Lord - the Moshiach - the Spirit of God, the Messiah.  What do you call His name?  I pray for the celebration of the Feasts the High Holy days - a time of renewal , strength and Joy for the coming new year.  I pray that during this Feast that you both will be renewed, given new strength, new understanding, and a new love for life and renewed Fatih in our Father God and I pray that His spirit to dwell in your souls. 

With love, hugs, sugars, and more love,
