The Scriptures command us to celebrate the holiday traditionally called Rosh Hashanah, or the Feast of Trumpets, with shouts of joy and the sounding of the Shofar. But why? What are we supposed to be so happy about and why the Shofar? In this book, Messianic Rabbi Jim Appel answers those questions with new revelation from Scripture. He reveals the profound significance of the Shofar and the deep, spiritual meaning of the shout for joy. Find out what has been hidden from followers of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) for more than 1700 years. Rejoice that it is being restored to us today. Don't miss out anymore on this special connection to the Lord.

Yom Kippur (Hebrew for the Day of Atonement) is one of the Moadim, one of the Appointed Times of the Lord that, in the Bible, He commanded Israel to keep. It is an "appointment" set by the Lord. When someone makes an appointment, they have a reason. As author Rabbi Jim says, "If someone in my congregation makes an appointment with me, they wouldn't like it if I controlled the whole time and never asked them what they wanted to see me about." God has set the agenda for Yom Kippur, and we need to find out what it all is." To Jewish people, Yom Kippur is the most holy day of the whole year. It is the holiest of the autumn High Holy Days, a very serious, somber, sacred day. In the Bible, Yom Kippur is the day the Cohane HaGadol (High Priest) entered the Most Holy Place, also called the Holy of Holies, taking the blood of the sacrificed animals and sprinkling it on the Mercy Seat to make atonement for the sins of the people. Also he had to cast lots over two goats, one to be chosen as the scapegoat and the other to be sacrificed. But since 70 AD after the Temple was destroyed, none of that can be done anymore. So how do traditional and Messianic Jewish people observe this day today? And what agenda did God have in mind for this day for these End Times? What power does it hold for your personal walk of faith and for spiritual warfare? You might be surprised.

YOM KIPPUR The Day of Atonement (Appointed Times)

Passover is one of the most important Appointed Times of the Bible. Rabbi Jim explains that the Passover Seder is a Covenant Renewal Meal, designed and commanded by God for renewing His Covenant each year with the Israelites. Rabbi Jim teaches what Passover is all about and shows, with Scriptural evidence, how Yeshua (Jesus) built on this Covenant and on the traditional Passover Seder to establish the Covenant Renewal Meal for the New Covenant. You will learn the heart-touching connections between the Passover ceremonial traditions and the Last Supper and Communion. You will become profoundly more grateful for what Yeshua's sacrifice accomplished, and more deeply encouraged by the promises Yeshua wants us to remember as we celebrate Passover and commemorate His death until He returns. Included in the book, at the end, are the notes to Rabbi Jim's Seder that he has been leading for decades. Guests to his Seder speak of being profoundly blessed and moved; some have also reported amazing physical healing. We are pretty confident that you will not be the same after reading this book.

SHAVUOT (The Feast of Weeks) is another Appointed Time that God commands in the Torah for us to keep. It's another appointment He has made with us. Now when someone makes an appointment with you, who is in charge of the agenda for the meeting, you or the person who made the appointment? Right! The person who set the appointment is in charge. So God has made an appointment, an Appointed Time for us on this day called Shavuot. So we don't come to this day and tell God what we are going to do. We find out why He set it. We look at the commandment and all Scriptures pertaining to it to see what He has in mind for this Appointed Time, and how He wants us to observe it and celebrate it. That's what this book is all about! THIS BOOK IS SPIRITUALLY RICH! It is full of HOLY SPIRIT POWER. It is not for casual reading or for just gaining Biblical knowledge. This book is for those who love to do deep, serious study of the Bible and allow it to change their hearts and renew their minds, allow it to bring them to repentance, to purify and refine their character, to bear the fruits of the Spirit and become more and more like Yeshua. IF THAT DESCRIBES YOU, THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK. You will be so blessed by the many life-changing, life-applicable insights that come from this deep study of Shavuot.
