Is there a prophetic symbol behind Rosh Hashanah that points to what we can expect in the end times?
In a recent message on the end times and the purpose of Rosh Hashanah, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn explained what Rosh Hashanah means for our future.
To order Jonathan Cahn’s new #1 best-selling book, “The Dragon’s Prophecy,” visit Amazon.com.
Cahn points out that when it comes to the Jewish holy days, we know what each of them in the springtime stand for, as they point to the death and resurrection of Christ. However, the fulfillment of the fall holidays is still yet to have happened.
“We don’t know the fulfillment yet, the first ones we do,” Cahn says. “We don’t know what’s coming exactly. We have an idea, that’s why it’s a mystery, but it’s just as much a part of our faith, a part of the Christian or Messianic faith as the first are.”
“The seventh month deals with judgment,” he continues. “That’s why they’re called the Days of Awe, or the Days of Teshuva, getting right with God, repenting.”
Cahn says the symbol of this time, the shofar, reminds us that God we all must repent and turn toward the Lord.

“The shofar is saying, ‘get right, wake up, get right with God,'” Cahn says. “Now, when you look at the book of Revelation, what do you find? Trumpets. It matches. Trumpets are linked to the end. And so, what happens when the trumpets are sounded in Revelation?
Well, first trumpet: hail, fire, thrown to the earth, burning a third of the trees. Second trumpet: A great mountain burning with fire plunges into the sea, a third of sea life destroyed. Third trumpet: wormwood comes to the earth, poisons the waters. Fourth trumpet: A third of the lights shining from the heavens stop, struck, darkness comes on the earth…”
While these trumpeting calls do not exactly sound like something we would think of when it comes to saying “happy New Year,” we know that the book of Revelation ultimately leads to victory.
