Prophetic Holy Feasts | Blowing of Trumpets

It was just a day of homeschooling.  That's all.  As was our custom for many years, we read.  Every morning 10 AM.  We read and read and read.  History, historical fiction, missionary stories, apologetics, science and so on.  Upon our move to Italy a few years later, we'd have collected 9 six feet tall book shelves full of our reading and studying material.

But, back to the particular morning above.  We were studying from a very intriguing book by Foster entitled Augustus Caesars' World.  We loved it.  Living in Germany at the time, so very close to Rome,  (closer than Illinois anyway.....)we loved studying European History with Sonlight Curriculum.  But then it happened, we started to learn exactly what happened in History, the taking over of the Scriptures by early church fathers and councils.  The Roman influences on everything from our calendar to the months of the year, days of the week and the Roman gods such a calendar represents.  We read and discussed the taking over of druid holidays by the Church to convert many to Salvation.  As a mom, I had no idea where this would all take us, where any remedy for us might be found in helping to keep our eyes on Jesus.  After all, He is the author and finisher of our Faith.

So, we went to Awana.  I was and am so grateful for the part that amazing program has played in the lives of helping to develop my children.  We memorized Scripture, played games and learned about sportsmanship.  But most of all, we memorized Scripture.  We studied to show ourselves approved because approved workmen are not ashamed!  

Now, here we are 10 years or better from that morning in Germany above and it's 10AM.  We've just read and discussed Scripture, the Feasts, it's significance in our lives today and in the life of the Church.  We read Psalm 81, Ezra 3 and are learning more and more about Worship in the life of the Christian.

No, we aren't being legalistic.  No, a single celebration kept isn't what Salvation is all about.  But I can tell you what our years of study, reading, sitting under powerful Pastors of God's Word and the New Covenant have taught us: an appreciation and love for the entire council of YHWH.

We understand Jesus, Messiah, better.  Who He was, IS and FOREVER will be.  What He fulfilled, what He provides for us through His death and the power of God unto Salvation for all who believe.

This morning, at 10 am, once again, through study, while our world rages in war and rumor of war and martyrs are being made, we are Shouting!  Blow the Shofar!  Our God Reigns.

Thank you, YHWH, for the gift of schooling my children, Your children.
