Day 23 – 40 Days of the Shofar
The familiar long, straight shofar blast (Tekiah) is the sound of the King’s coronation. As we receive this revelation and participate in this season, we are symbolically crowning God as our King.

Numbers 10:9-10 assures our victory; “When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies. 10 Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am the LORD your God.”
Blow the trumpet in Zion and sound the alarm. You have a divine mission to repair a broken world. That is part of our divine service that God awakens us to.
Blow the trumpet in Zion and sound the alarm. There is a great reward in returning to God. Wake up and return to a life dedicated to God.
These feasts are for you.
Here are just a few things the sounding of the shofar represents: 1) Return — We are putting God back on the throne! 2) An Alarm — God is awakening us from our spiritual slumber! 3) Rededication — We revitalize our commitment to God’s Word! 4) Hearing God’s Voice — He calls us to His wisdom and knowledge! 5) Sacrifice — Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac but God provided a ram! 6) Victory — A Reminder of God’s salvation and deliverance! 7) A Call for Unity — Under the Messiah, Jew and Gentile shall be one! 8) The Shout — Proclaiming Jesus will return with an eternal reward!
What you’re learning about is supernatural. It’s revelation that can make the difference between winning and losing. The shofar is God’s mighty trumpet and is the sound of victory over sin, sickness, poverty and anything else that might be trying to block your blessing!
Strong bomb shelters are an essential part of the Jewish peoples’ lives in Israel.
They are truly often the very difference between life and death as rockets fall from the sky.
Israel’s Iron Dome can only do so much to stop the deadly attacks coming from Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran.
The shofar is not only the sound of our reward, it is also considered a spiritual weapon of warfare. As we pray and sound the shofar in our homes and over our families it sends a clear signal that we are pulling down every stronghold of the enemy. 2 Corinthians 10:4 says; For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for
pulling down strongholds…
This is also an appointed time for sowing and reaping. It’s the season of the final of our three First Fruit offerings on Sukkot. Joel 2:23-24 directly connects this “due season” with both the early and latter rain. So, if we’ll arise with a renewed sense of purpose and dedication, and respond with our first fruits offering we can expect an abundant outpouring of blessing in our lives.
Blow the trumpet in Zion and sound the alarm. The 9th of Av is a special day on God’s calendar. It’s part of the appointed times of the Fall Feasts. Many things have happened historically on this date.
