BIBLICAL NEW YEAR BEGINS: SEPTEMBER 9 AND 10!
Prepare for increased blessings in the midst of increased calamities!

by Patricia King

The two-day Biblical festival, Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) begins Thursday, September 9, and is celebrated through Friday, September 10. Rosh Hashanah literally means “head of the year,” and is commonly referred to as the Jewish New Year, being the first day of the Jewish calendar. It refers to the Wedding of the Messiah to His Bride and is also known as the Coronation of the Messiah.

Ten days after Rosh Hashanah is the most holy day in the biblical calendar – Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement), referred to as “The Sabbath of Sabbath’s.” This year, The Day of Atonement is from sunset on September 17, 2010, to nightfall on September 18, 2010.

In Jewish history and culture the 40 days prior to The Day of Atonement was spent repenting before God for any ways that displeased the Lord. On Rosh Hashanah, the records were opened and the priests would determine if a person’s works merited rewards and blessings from the Lord. If the works of an individual were not aligned to righteousness, then they would have until the Day of Atonement to make things right. On the Day of Atonement, the fate for the year was set.

Jesus has fulfilled our righteousness now before the Father as a gift. He has taken our punishment – our judgment. Oh how glorious!  Yet, we know that our choices bear consequences. When we align with God and His ways, we are blessed; when we walk contrary to His ways, we suffer for it. What we sow, we reap.

For the next 12 months, I believe that the body of Christ will be blessed. We are sowing into a glorious year (the best year we have ever experienced) through our prayers, worship, repentance, and obedience.

A Time to Receive Special Words from the Lord

The Lord always speaks a special word to my heart around Rosh Hashanah and grants me promises for the New Year. Whatever promises He gives me at this time of year marks my entire year. The promises become a theme.

This coming year is a time to draw very close to His heart. It is time for the Bride to make herself ready. It is a time to repent from ways that are contrary to His love. It is time to be on the alert as shakings continue in the earth. We are called to be true Kingdom people and faithful, passionate, lovers of our King. We are a people who are neither ensnared by or in love with the world. We are separated unto Jesus, our Bridegroom King, awaiting His return with great expectancy. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken, but we are of a Kingdom that cannot be shaken!

A couple of months ago, I felt some prophetic alarms in my spirit concerning some further calamities that will be taking place in the earth. The shakings will continue in the next twelve months and it will be a glorious time for the Body. He is hiding us in the shadow of His wings. We are abiding in His shelter safe and sound in His love. There are judgments in the earth against the enemy’s works. The judgments of God are for us and not against us. We will come into greater freedom as we follow Him, and we will not be touched by the shakings in the world. Our hearts are safe in Him. We will arise and shine in this hour.

May each of you be blessed beyond measure this month and … Happy New Year!
