Tekiah Gedolah is trumpeted by the Shofar of the Mighty One:
שֶׁכֵּן הָאָדוֹן עַצְמוֹ יֵרֵד מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם בִּקְרִיאָה שֶׁל פְּקֻדָּה, בְּקוֹל שַׂר הַמַּלְאָכִים וּבְשׁוֹפַר אֱלֹהִים, וְהַמֵּתִים הַשַּׁיָּכִים לַמָּשִׁיחַ יָקוּמוּ רִאשׁוֹנָה. אַחֲרֵי כֵן אֲנַחְנוּ הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בַּחַיִּים נִלָּקַח יַחַד אִתָּם בַּעֲנָנִים לִפְגֹּשׁ אֶת הָאָדוֹן בָּאֲוִיר, וְכָךְ נִהְיֶה תָּמִיד עִם הָאָדוֹן.פ
For Adonai (HaAdon) Himself will descend from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel and the Shofar of God ((שׁוֹפָר אֱלֹהִים)), and the dead who belong to the Messiah will rise first. Afterward, we who remain alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with Adonai
The Breath of Eternal Life:
Gabriel, Warrior of the Almighty: The shout of the Shofar of Elohim (שופר אלוהים) is sounded forth by the Messiah. It is the Breath of the Spirit of Messiah that raises the dead. The voice of the archangel is to command the holy angels to immediately assemble before Messiah ben David as an honor escort. Gabriel, “Warrior of the Almighty” (גַּבְרִיאֵל) is the angelic emissary of the Messiah.
Angel who “Stands in the Presence”: He is the angel who “stands in the Presence” of Adonai, who has personally announced the coming of the Messiah ben Yosef ben David to three very privileged Yehudim:
Message #1. To the prophet Daniel;
Message #2. To the priest Zechariah ben Aaron;
Message #3. To the honored Jewess Miryam bat David, the mother of Mashiach Yeshua.
Messiah ben David’s Honor Guard: The honor guard ordered by Gabriel will accompany the Messiah in his mission to claim His bride (followers) and take her (us) to our Father’s house in heaven (there are actually two brides and two weddings).
The Rabbi Who came down from Heaven to dwell among us:
House of God: At the very beginning of the Jewish calendar date of Kislev 25, 3756 (November-December 6 BCE), to deliver man from sin by His own right arm, the Holy One became something He had never been before, He took the form of a man (a fully human man.
Voice of God: Messiah Ben Ha-Elohim is the Voice of God (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). He is a Man. He is the perfect Adam who always does the will of the Father (1, 2, 3). The Messiah Tzadiknu our Righteous One (צִדְקֵֽנוּ) is what Man was meant to be from the start—-a home for Adonai to dwell in.
The Last Adam: Like the first Adam the Last Adam was formed by the Spirit of the Holy One. The Messiah was formed in the womb of the Jewess Miryam by the Spirit of the Holy One. Like the first Adam the Father of Messiah was Adonai Elohenu. Like the first Adam the Messiah was born as a Human being.
God of the House of God: As followers of the Messiah of God we do not worship anyone other than Adonai. Our Father Adonai is Spirit. He is “all spirit in His essence.” He possesses no physical properties. He is not limited by space, time, matter, or energy. He made this physical universe as a (temporary) physical place for His own conscious properties (life) to be seeded in and grow.
We worship God in “Spirit and Truth”: Unlike God our Father we possess both physical and conscious properties. We are both physical and spiritual beings. Therefore our Messiah has emphatically taught us that those who worship God must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
We do not worship Yeshua: The truth is we do not worship the man Yeshua. As our Messiah, the Voice of Adonai, and as the visible image of the invisible God we hear, understand, and obey Him. He is or Rabbi sent to us from our heavenly Father.
The Place where the Spirit of God dwells: However, although the Messiah is a man, a human being, he is the tent (dwelling) of Adonai. This makes our Messiah the place where all of the Spirit of the Holy One dwells. So then, although we do not worship Yeshua the man who is a human like us, we do worship the Presence of the Holy One who forever indwells the Messiah—who is Spirit and “not” human like we are.
One who Truly Knows Adonai: The Messiah Yeshua is the only one who truly knows the Father (HaAv) and he is the one who perfectly reveals Him to us (1, 2). Our Messiah made this absolutely abundantly clear multiple of times when he declared that HaAv (Adonai) was greater than he.
Eternal subjection to “The Father”: The Messiah’s Shlichim also taught that the Messiah lived in eternal subjection to the Father (1, 2). Yet, the Spirit of God dwells in full measure in the Messiah. How is this? The Spirit of God dwells in full measure in the Messiah because he has always obeyed God our Father and has never sinned (1, 2, 3, 4).
The Permanent Mishkan of Adonai: Therefore, the full measure of the Spirit of Adonai will never be diminished in Him. The Messiah is the permanent Mishkan (מִשׁכָּן) of Adonai. If we believe in the Divine Redemption of our Father in heaven then we know that the Messiah is the one who the Holy One of Israel sent into the world to reconcile us (Israel) to Himself.
God dwells within His Messiah bodily: At the first our Father Adonai sent the Messiah ben Yosef to us, the Suffering Messiah, to redeem us from the bondage of our sins; and through him who is the Cornerstone make us His Temple (מִקדָשׁ-Mikdash) wherein our heavenly Father shall dwell forever. Therefore, all of the fullness of the Divine One dwells in the Messiah bodily.
The Horn of Salvation: For this reason the Messiah alone possesses power over life and death. This is why it was said by the Messiah Keren Yeshua, the Horn of Salvation, the Shofar of Elohim, “an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His Voice (the Messiah is the Voice of Adonai), and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.”
The Judge of the living and the dead:
God has made Messiah – The Judge of All: Our Father in heaven has not only made the Messiah the Sar HaChaim (Prince of Life) and Hatekumah v’haChaim (Resurrection and Life), Avinu Adonai has made Messiah HaShofet—the Judge.
Blaspheming the man Yeshua is forgivable: The Messiah said blaspheming against the Son of Man would be forgiven. However, he also said that everyone who blasphemed against the Spirit of the Holy One who Indwells the Messiah will be judged as committing an eternal sin (and never forgiven). Therefore, one must be very careful in regard to how one treats the Messiah. For to blaspheme the man Yeshua is forgivable.
Blasphemy of the Spirit is not forgivable: However, to blaspheme the Spirit of Adonai who lives forever within the Messiah is an unforgivable sin. Inside the temple of the Son of Man dwells the Holy One. Be careful to hear His Voice. Do not ever do what the Prushim and Tannaim did in the first century (CE). They called the Holy One who Indwells our Messiah an “unclean spirit” (רוח טמאה).
Blotted out of the Book of Life: For this sin of blasphemy—for being in the actual Presence of Eved HaKadosh (the Servant of the Holy One) and calling the Spirit of the LORD (ה’ ר֣וּחַ), an “unclean spirit”—for this blasphemy these men shall have their names blotted out of the Book of Life forever.
The Archangel Gabriel is the Angelic Herald of the Messiah:
The Special Shout of the Archangel Gabriel: A special shout of the archangel Gabriel will order the holy angels to immediately assemble together to accompany our Master Yeshua Hamashiach Adoneinu in his historic descent from the highest heaven to the heaven of earth on a yet unknown day of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Teruah.
Resurrection of the Assembly of Messiah on Rosh HaShanah:
The dead and the living followers of Messiah will rise and come to meet him. “in the air.” On that (unknown) yet future Rosh HaShanah day Messiah will not return to earth but will meet his resurrected and living-translated glorified followers “in the air.”
שֶׁכֵּן הָאָדוֹן עַצְמוֹ יֵרֵד מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם בִּקְרִיאָה שֶׁל פְּקֻדָּה, בְּקוֹל שַׂר הַמַּלְאָכִים וּבְשׁוֹפַר אֱלֹהִים, וְהַמֵּתִים הַשַּׁיָּכִים לַמָּשִׁיחַ יָקוּמוּ רִאשׁוֹנָה. אַחֲרֵי כֵן אֲנַחְנוּ הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בַּחַיִּים נִלָּקַח יַחַד אִתָּם בַּעֲנָנִים לִפְגֺּשׁ אֶת הָאָדוֹן בָּאֲוִיר, וְכָךְ נִהְיֶה תָּמִיד עִם הָאָדוֹן. עַל כֵּן עוֹדְדוּ זֶה אֶת זֶה בַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה. פְּ
For the lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel and the Shofar of God, and the dead who belong to the Messiah will rise first. Afterward, we who remain alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air, and so we will always be with the lord. Therefore, encourage one another with these words.
7 years later Messiah returns to Israel: Messiah ben David, the Conquering Messiah, will return to Israel seven years after he resurrects and translates his followers into heaven. His triumphant return of the Messiah will occur on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). The Messiah will return to earth to deliver His Jewish brethren from global persecution and annihilation, to set up His millennial kingdom here on earth, and to restore Israel to her promised glory. (Regarding the past and future attempts of the evil one to totally annihilate our people, the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—-read “Messiah in Purim.”)
On the Day of Atonement: Simultaneous with this descent to earth (Israel) the Messiah will call forth all of the righteous dead to rise from the first Adam on to assist him in his administration of “God’s Rule” (Israel) on earth.
הָאָב אֵינֶנּוּ שׁוֹפֵט אִישׁ, אֶלָּא נָתַן אֶת כָּל הַמִּשְׁפָּט בְּיַד הַבֵּן כְּדֵי שֶׁהַכֺּל יְכַבְּדוּ אֶת הַבֵּן כְּמוֹ שֶׁמְּכַבְּדִים אֶת הָאָב. מִי שֶׁאֵינוֹ מְכַבֵּד אֶת הַבֵּן, אֵינוֹ מְכַבֵּד אֶת הָאָב אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַח אוֹתוֹ. אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אוֹמֵר לָכֶם, הַשּׁוֹמֵעַ אֶת דְּבָרִי וּמַאֲמִין לְשׁוֹלְחִי יֵשׁ לוֹ חַיֵּי עוֹלָם, וְאֵינוֹ בָּא בְּמִשְׁפָּט כִּי אִם עָבַר מִמָּוֶת לְחַיִּים. אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אוֹמֵר לָכֶם, תָּבוֹא שָׁעָה, וְכָעֵת הִיא, שֶׁהַמֵּתִים יִשְׁמְעוּ אֶת קוֹל בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים וְהַשּׁוֹמְעִים יִחְיוּ. פָּ
Resurrection of the Righteous Ones on Yom Kippur: The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you: whoever hears my word and believes in the One who sent me has eternal life and will not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. Truly, truly, I say to you: the hour is coming—and now is—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אוֹמֵר לָכֶם, תָּבוֹא שָׁעָה, וְכָעֵת הִיא, שֶׁהַמֵּתִים יִשְׁמְעוּ אֶת קוֹל בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים וְהַשּׁוֹמְעִים יִחְיוּ, כִּי כְּשֵׁם שֶׁלָּאָב יֵשׁ חַיִּים בְּעַצְמוֹ, כָּךְ גַּם נָתַן לַבֵּן שֶׁיִּהְיוּ לוֹ חַיִּים בְּעַצְמוֹגם סמכות נתן לו לעשות משפט, כי בן-האדם הוא.פ
Amen, amen (Truly, truly), I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of the Almighty (בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִיםפ-ben HaElohim; Aramaic: בַּר אֱנָשׁ), and those who hear will live (literally, “the listeners will live”). For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself. He gave Him authority to execute judgment [to preside as Ha-Shofet in the Proceedings of the Heavenly Court), because He is Ben Ha’adam.
Holy Ones will greet Messiah when he returns on Yom Kippur:
The Patriarchs, Prophets of Israel Resurrect: At that time (Messiah’s Second Coming) the Kedoshim (holy ones) that lived and died prior to Messiah’s death and resurrection will resurrect and will form up with the Messiah. This group of resurrected glorified holy ones will include the Patriarchs, Prophets and other righteous ones whose faith is attested to in the Tanakh.
Like the Prophet Daniel: These glorified ones, like the Prophets Moses and Daniel, were promised to be resurrected at the beginning of the messianic era. Fathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their righteous descendants will resurrect in the Land of Israel to assist Messiah in ministering to the New Generation of mortal Jews who will be living in Israel throughout the millennium—the one thousand years reign of Messiah on earth.
Messiah’s Shepherds: These holy ones (קדושים) will be Messiah’s shepherds to their Jewish descendants. Therefore, Messiah will be returning from heaven to meet up with the just then resurrected saints of old. These are the tzaddikim (righteous ones) who lived and died before the Messiah our Righteous One’s own death and resurrection.
The Firsfruits of all the Righteous Ones: Ha-Mashiach is the firstfruits of all the righteous ones who are promised to be resurrected from the dead. For this reason, Messiah bears the title of Habekhor hakam min-hametim, the ‘Firstborn of the Dead’.
The Golden Age of Israel:
מאשר וקדוש מי שחלקו בתחיה הראשונה; על אלה אין למות השני שלטון, כי יהיו כהנים לאלהים ולמשיח וימלכו אתו אלף שנים.פ
The Restoration of Israel: In the millennial Golden Age (restoration) of Israel in human history the Messiah himself, accompanied by his kedoshim and His holy angels, will with a rod of iron thoroughly put down humankind’s rebellion against God on earth. Once God’s Rule is globally established then the Messiah with the assistance of his glorified kedoshim will administer universal care to humankind throughout the entire one thousand years (אֶלֶף שָׁנִים) period of God’s reign over the earth.
וְשָׁפַט֙ בֵּ֣ין הַגּוֹיִ֔ם וְהוֹכִ֖יחַ לְעַמִּ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים וְכִתְּת֨וּ חַרְבוֹתָ֜ם לְאִתִּ֗ים וַחֲנִיתֽוֹתֵיהֶם֙ לְמַזְמֵר֔וֹת לֹא־יִשָּׂ֨א ג֤וֹי אֶל־גּוֹי֙ חֶ֔רֶב וְלֹא־יִלְמְד֥וּ ע֖וֹד מִלְחָמָֽה׃
A time of Great Peace: “He shall judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.”
“My Delight is in Her”: In Isaiah 62, the prophet notes that Israel will no longer be called “Forsaken” or “Desolate.” Instead, the nation will be called Hephzibah (חֶפְצִי־בָ֔הּ), “My delight is in her” and the land Beulah (בְּעוּלָ֑ה), “Married,” signaling an unbreakable, renewed relationship with God.
The Transformation of Nature: The structural hostility embedded in creation is reversed. Isaiah 11:6-9 famously describes the wolf dwelling with the lamb, and the leopard lying down with the young goat.
The Blooming Desert: The physical land of Israel is miraculously revitalized, transforming from a barren wasteland into a lush, fertile paradise (Isaiah 35:1-2).
Center of Global Worship: According to Isaiah 2:2-4, Israel becomes the epicenter of global worship. The nations of the world will stream to the mountain of Adon house in Jerusalem to learn His ways.
