Shofar blasts at the
Western Wall and in yeshivot, synagogues
and religious schools throughout Israel, announced and celebrated the
declaration by the Gedolei Yisrael (Great Ones of Israel) to formally recognize
the beginning of the "Time of Jacob's trouble." The singing of Psalms mingled with the wails
of repentance, with tears and cries of the worshippers.
This
commemoration coincided with the time of the new moon, or start of the new
Biblical month Aviv, usually designated as a "Yom Kippur Katan" (a
'minor' Yom Kippur or 'Judgment Day').
It is significant
that though these Rabbonim officially and traditionally regard the 7th Biblical
month (Sept/Oct - during which the 'great' Yom Kippur or Judgment Day falls),
as the 'New Year', this Declaration of
"Jacob's Trouble" was really done at the dawning of the true
Biblical New Year, on the new moon declared by Judaism for 25 March 2001. The Bible determines this month as the
"first of months", Aviv.
Notably, those Bible Scholars with true discernment realise that this is
really also the dawning of the New Millennium, the start of the 7th or
Sabbatical millennium - after all the false starts of the secular world, to
this much feared change over into the new millennium - remember Y2K, 31 Dec
1999? - then 31 Dec 2000 by others?
For those of
true discernment, the current 'Battle for Jerusalem' which is ever escalating,
holds the true fulfillment of Biblical prophecy for "the End Time" -
rather the dawning of the erection of the Kingdom of Elohim on earth!
