THE VOICE OF YAHWEH CALLING
We are reminded during this time between Yom Teruah (Day of Shouting / Day of blowing of Trumpets / Day of a great Voice) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement / Day of Reconciliation) that it is extremely important to listen to the urgent call / powerful voice of Yahweh the Almighty (Hebrew expression: "qol Yahweh" = "voice or sound or calling of Yahweh"). The sound of Trumpets 10 days prior to the most solemn day of Yom Kippur was always meant to be a wake-up call – a call to put an end to running after one’s own interests and one’s own ideas – an urgent call to make a dead stop, leave everything that’s been keeping us busy for the past weeks or months or even years, and allow ourselves once and for all to listen to the sound of Yahweh’s voice and Yahweh’s calling. Let us not miss out today when we hear the voice of Yahweh. Let us not miss out on the opportunity to receive a direct word from Yahweh – not a word from Yahweh manipulated and deformed by the so-called prophets of this world, but a word from Yahweh unchanged by time and untouched by human doctrine – a word coming directly from the very mouth of the Almighty!
Bereshit / Genesis 3:9-10 And Yahweh Elohim called unto Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" And he said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself."
Shemot / Exodus 5:1-2 And afterwards Mosheh and Aharon went in and said to Pharaoh, "Thus said Yahweh Elohim of Yisrael, ‘Let My people go, so that they keep a festival to Me in the wilderness.’ " And Pharaoh said, "Who is Yahweh, that I should obey His voice to let Yisrael go? I do not know Yahweh, nor am I going to let Yisrael go."
Shemot / Exodus 23:14-21 "Three times in the year you are to observe a festival to Me … Guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread … and the Festival of the First Fruits of the harvest … and the Festival of the Ingathering … Three times in the year all your males are to appear before the Master Yahweh … Bring the first of the first-fruits of your land into the House of Yahweh your Elohim … Be on guard before Him and obey His voice."
YeshaYahu 30:21,30 Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the Way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right, or whenever you turn to the left … And Yahweh shall cause His excellent voice to be heard, and show the coming down of His arm, with raging wrath and the flame of a consuming fire, with scattering, downpour and hailstones.
YeshaYahu / Isaiah 32:9 Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice; rise up you complacent daughters, listen to my voice.
Yoel / Joel 2:11-12 And Yahweh shall give forth His voice before His army, for His camp is very great, for mighty is the doer of His word. For the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome, and who does bear it? "Yet even now," declares Yahweh, "turn to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning."
MattitYahu / Matthew 17:5 While he was still speaking, see, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And see, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I did delight. Listen to Him!"
