Shanah Tova (Happy New Year) 5779

Rosh Hashanah and blowing the Shofar

Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה), literally meaning the head (beginning) [of] the year is the Jewish New Year (Rosh = head; Ha = the; Shanah = year)
2018 dates Sunset, Sun 9 September – nightfall, Tue 11 September – start of 5779

Here is a short video explaining the blowing of the Shofar for the new year.

The Jews get a bit legalistic, they end up blowing the Shofar 100 times to make sure they meet the legal requirements, overkill to the max as they only need 30 or possibly 3 😊

The reasons for blowing the Shofar at Rosh Hashanah are:

  • It is a time of Judgement. First to confuse and minimise the prosecution satan, secondly, strengthen the mercy of the judgement from the Lord [interesting in terms of the Courts of Heaven]
  • It is a time of cleaning our hearts and repentance [to me is also the Holy precursor of REVIVAL]
  • It is to remember how Abraham brought Isaac as a sacrifice and that God provided
  • It is to celebrate that the LORD (HaShem) is King

Don’t forget we are not under law, but His grace!! We can learn from this but have zero obligation to do it.

Prophetic understanding of this new year

The year 5779 Hey, Zayin, Zayin, Tet – is the end of the 8th decade and here are some thoughts on this year.

There are nine fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23): love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. This will be a year to look and see how genuinely we have produced them.

There are nine gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8-10) Word of wisdom, Word of knowledge, Faith, Gifts of hearings, Miracles, Prophecy, Distinguishing between spirits, Tongues, Interpretation of tongues. The will be a major increase in the operation and flow of the gifts in the Church.

This will be a year to look and see how much you believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. A heart that speaks from unbelief cannot declare thy Kingdom come. Let the sound of this year be, “Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24).

This 5779 year will be the culmination of everything God’s been preparing us for to step into the next season – “Pey” (8th decade) the decade of the mouth, speaking and declaring the Kingdom into Earth.

5779 will also be a year of deep revelation. God has been inviting us to “see” what He is saying, and this will increase this new year. We will also have deep understanding of the enemy snake and the Lord will give strategies to enable us to have full overcoming victory. Worship will increase and be the main weapon.

We are speaking and declaring the Gospel, the word of the LORD, new life, blessings, healing, truth, freedom, godly prosperity, and release of captives.
Declaring the Lord and His Kingdom to the nations.
As we speak things happen in the heavens and manifest on earth.
