Messianic Kingdom

Rosh HaShanah and the Messianic Kingdom to Come by Joseph Good 1989

A Messianic Jewish Interpretation of the Feast of Trumpets

As one begins a study of the Jewish festivals, a pattern portraying the redemption of God culminating in the Messianic Kingdom begins to surface in all areas of Judaic literature. In these various sources, the feast of Rosh HaShanah emerges as the threshold of the Messianic Kingdom. This book is a collection of scattered teachings on this festival that hopefully will restore to the body of Messiah the long forgotten truths. A composite of its doctrines, customs, and traditions define the eschatology of the Athid Lavo (the Coming Age).

Thus saith the LORD,

"Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD."


Jeremiah 9:23-24


If this intrigues you, and you want more, first pray for God to give you insight.
Then read the Bible from cover to cover because it is a love letter from God to the World. It shows the human condition and the mess we have made of things. We are all in bondage until we come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Every book of the Bible has a life lesson and insight to teach.

For example

Read the Book of Genesis to see how we got into this fix. Promises and Curses!

Read the Book of Psalms to catch a glimps as to why King David was a man after the heart of God.

Read Isaiah to see the amazing promises to Zion. Isaiah Chapter 62!

Read Zechariah to see what will happen when the Jews finally realize it is Jesus to
whom they will say,"Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord."

Read the Books of Job, Hosea, Habbukuk and Ecclesiastes to see how to respond to grief and adversity.

The quick answer is Ecclesiastes 12:13-14:

"Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil."

Read the Book of Acts to see what happened to the Jews and early church.

Read the Book of John to see how we are set free by God's love.

Read the Book of Matthew for the life of Jesus and His Words,teachings and promises.

Read the Book of Romans for insight on how to live.

Read the Book of Hebrews for examples of Faith, better yet, memorize it.

Read the Book of Revelation for the facts that are soon to be upon us.

Remember, The Jews are God's chosen people.

The Jews are also an example throughout the Bible of our own humanity.

The Jews are the Cultivated Olive Tree.

The Christians are the Wild Olive Tree. See Romans Chapter 11

We are all brethern in Christ.

This book Rosh HaShanah and the Messianic Kingdom to Come

by Joseph Good is a wonderful help in understanding the Fall Feasts

and how they reveal God's timetable of the Age to Come.

It will begin soon, perhaps this next Rosh HaShanah 2009. It will begin with

"The Day of the Lord" which will also be "The Time of Jacob's Trouble" and the time

of the seven years of "Tribulation" on earth. It will also be the beginning of the

Messianic Kingdom in heaven. At the end of the seven years, the Messiah returns to

earth and rules from Jerusalem.

Bless you as you learn to love the Bible and believe the promises of God.

The peace of Jesus is our hope.

Jesus said,

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.

In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the

world."


John 16:33
