6 The Mystery Shofar of God! The Mystery of Yeshua s Return The 10 places where Yeshua sounds the Shofar in the Bible by Richard Aaron Honorof It has been given to you to know the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 13:11) The Mystery of our Lord Yeshua s soon return is interconnected to many other related mysteries The Mystery Shofar of God; and Mystery of the Silver Trumpets; The Mystery of our Priesthood, the Melchi-Zedek Priesthood, the Priesthood of all true believers in Yeshua (Jesus) our Messiah; The Mystery of the Lamb of God, of Aaron, and Lion of Judah; The Mystery of the Bride of Yeshua, and Marriage of the Lamb; The Mystery of the Guests & the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; The Mysteries of the Seven Feasts of the LORD : Leviticus 23; The Mystery Feast when Yeshua s Bride is taken up into Heaven; The Mystery Feast of when the Marriage takes place in Heaven; The Mystery Feast of when Yeshua returns to earth from Heaven; The Mystery Feast of when the Marriage Supper of the Lamb takes place; this Great Banquet will be held on earth in Jerusalem; The Mysteries of what years all these End Time events take place. The information I am about to give you in this booklet is very important for better understanding the real End Times that we have just entered into, to be able to see some deeper Truths of the events of our Lord Yeshua s soon return. For today the correct biblical answers to many of these mysteries are not really being taught. 6

7 As the author, I want to state from the beginning that I do not have all the answers. What I do offer are some Revelatory Keys which I believe the Lord has given me, which may be helpful for understanding more clearly and more accurately many of those events related to our Lord Yeshua s soon return. There are two major errors being taught today. First is that the whole Church is the Bride of Messiah Yeshua. This is totally impossible! For all weddings have one bride with many guests. Three out of four of Yeshua s parables on this Wedding Mystery were about the saved guests. Matthew 22:1-14, Luke 12:36-37, Luke 14:8-11; and Matthew 25:1-13; & review Revelation 19:7-9; The second major error concerns when Yeshua s Bride will be taken up into Heaven to be with Him. Many teach that it is either Pre, or Mid, or Post-Trib Rapture of Yeshua s Bride? I believe all these are just guesses, and they are incorrect guesses. For these theories are all missing some major biblical keys. The keys to understanding the mysteries of our Lord Yeshua s soon return are all connected to the Revelations of the Truths from all these mysteries mentioned. For the sake of giving a short and concise & direct answer to this mystery of Yeshua s soon return, this small booklet focuses primarily on only one of these topics, giving a deeper understanding to just one of these mysteries The Mystery Shofar of God! The biblical ram s horn, shofar in Hebrew, was used many places in the Jewish Bible, especially by the Aaronic priests. But it was first used by God! This paper is a biblical study of the uses of the Shofar by our God Yeshua, Himself. It is a study of 10 places described in the Scriptures of the Old and New Covenants where Yeshau Himself uses His Voice like the sound of the Shofar. 7

8 The first use of the Shofar in the bible was at Mount Sinai, where God sounded it very Loud, & many times, to announce His Marriage Betrothal Covenant call to Israel and to a mixed group, people from many nations. This is seen in Exodus 19 and 20. The Mystery of the Shofar of God is really a specific question: How many times does our Lord Yeshua sound His Trumpet or Shofar into His Creation, before Yeshua returns and actually sets up the Kingdom of Heaven on earth? Both this question, and seeing the answer, and then the three biblical proofs for this answer will give you a great deal more depth in understanding about our Lord Yeshua s soon return. I will first list the ten places that I have been shown in both the Old and New Covenants that refer to Lord Yeshua sounding the Shofar. Most of these Scripture references are different views of this same End Time scenario, written by different prophets. I will then give the answer to the Mystery of the Shofar of God. And then I will show three scriptural proofs which I believe God has given me; because any answer without the biblical proofs is at best only a good guess, and perhaps not the real truth! With the answer and the biblical proofs, I believe events of the End Times will become much more clear, and more accurately understood concerning the mystery of our Lord Yeshua s soon return. Our God does God things on God s Feast days! 8

9 The Feasts of the LORD These are My Feasts! Leviticus 23:1-44 Shabbat: begins from Friday at dusk until Saturday at dusk Passover (the 14 th of Nissan) Unleavened Bread (7 days from the 15 th thru 21 st of Nissan) Yeshua s Crucifixion, and Death on the Cross, and Burial First Fruits of unleaven barley, during Passover (16 th of Nissan) Yeshua s Resurrection Day (Leviticus 23:10) From this day begins the counting of the omer for 50 days; These 50 days are the days of preparation for Yeshua s Bride Shavuot : First Fruits of leavened wheat, also called Pentecost The Holy Spirit came down filling the believers in the Upper Room. Yeshua s Bride : taken up to Heaven at Midnight Hour, on Shavuot, late in Tribulation years, with the Lion s Roar. (Mt 25:6; Rev 10:3) Yeshua s Bride, two leavened loaves, First Fruits of wheat Harvest Zichron Teruah : Rosh HaShanah (Tishri 1) : Day of Judgment Also Day of Yeshua s Wedding in Heaven with His Bride: (Wife) finished when the Seventh Trumpet sounds (Revelation 11:15-18), begins the Honeymoon in Heaven (lasting one year of earth time). [The 10 days from Zichron Teruah until Yom Kippur are called the 10 days of Awe by religious Jews, 10 days to repent for all sins, but only thru Yeshua s Blood: Day of Judgment to Final Judgment] Yom Kippur : Day of Atonement or Final Judgment (Tishri 10) Lord Yeshua Returns with His Wife (+ all Armies) to Jerusalem Succoth : Feast of Tabernacles Celebration (15 th to 22 nd of Tishri) Marriage Supper of the Lamb held in Jerusalem (Isaiah 25:6-10) on Yeshua s Birthday : Launching the Millennial Kingdom Reign Conception of Yeshua : Haggai 2:18,19 foundation of LORD s Temple was laid (Kislev 24, [Chanukkah and Christmas time]) + 9 more months = the Lord s Birthday during Succoth! 9

10 The following is a study of the ten places in both the Old and New Covenants where I have found Lord Yeshua sounding His Trumpet or Shofar (Ram s Horn) of God into His Creation 1) And the LORD said to Moses: Prepare the people, for on the third day the LORD shall come down, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet (the Hebrew word used is jubal, Strong s # 3104, for Jubilee) they shall come up to the base of the Mount. And on the morning of the third day the Shofar sounded from heaven and got louder and louder, and then more than two million people freaked-out, trembling in the camp. (Exodus 19: 13, 16, 19; & 20:18) Here God is referring to this first Shofar He sounded from Heaven, perhaps as a Jubilee! The sounding of this Shofar from Mount Sinai has been called the First Trump! 2) And the LORD shall be seen over them, and His arrow shall go forth as the lightning, and the Lord GOD shall blow the Shofar, and go with whirlwinds from the south... (Zechariah 9:14) * Notice that it says that God Himself is blowing this Shofar! Here we see Lord Yeshua not only blowing this Shofar, but God is also telling us on which Feast of the seven Feasts of the LORD this will happen. Let s call it the Feast of Battle! 3) Behold, I tell you a mystery: we shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye, at the Last Trumpet! For the Trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 st Corinthians 15: 51, 52) 4) And the Lord shall descend from heaven with a Shout, with the Voice of an Archangel or the Angel (or Messenger of the LORD [Malakh]), and with a Trumpet of God, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. (1 st Thessalonians 4:16, 17) This Angel or Messenger of the Lord is Lord Yeshua! 10

11 5a) For then there will be Great Tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect s sake those days will be shortened (by God s Wrath). Immediately after the Tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the Sign of the Son of Man will appear in Heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the Clouds of Heaven with Power and great Glory. And He will send His angels with a Great sound of a Trumpet, [Shofar Gadol or the Great Shofar] and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matthew 24:21, 22, 29-31) 5b) Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the Clouds with great Power and Glory. And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of Heaven. (Mark 13:24-27) (He might gather together in One all things in Messiah, both which are in Heaven and which are on earth. Ephesiahs 1:10) 5c) He shall call to the Heavens from above, and to the earth, that He may Judge His people. Gather My saints together to Me, those who have made a Covenant with Me, by sacrifice. Psalm 50:4, 5 6) And it shall come to pass in that Day, that the LORD shall beat off [His fruit] from the flood of the River to the Brook of Egypt, and you shall be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a Great Shofar [the Shofar Gadol] shall be blown! And they shall come who were about to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the Holy Mountain (Zion) at Jerusalem. (Isaiah 27:12, 13) 11

12 7) All inhabitants of the world and dwellers on the earth, when He lifts up a banner on the mountains, you see it; and when He blows a Shofar (Trumpet), you hear it! (Isaiah 18:3) 8) And you shall number seven sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years. Then you shall make proclamation with the blast of the shofar on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the Day of Atonement [Yom Kippur] shall you make proclamation with the shofar throughout all your land. And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants; it shall be a Jubilee to you; and you shall return every man his possession, and you shall return every man his family. A Jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you;... it shall be Holy to you; (Leviticus 25:8-11, 12) The Year of Jubilee! Yeshua began His Galilean ministry by reading Isaiah 61:1, 2 in a synagogue in Nazareth; talking about liberty to the captives, the acceptable Year of the LORD, and God s Day of Vengeance: Luke 2:18, 19 I believe that this happened on a Year of Jubilee! Yom Kippur is both God s Day of Atonement & also God s Day of Vengeance (God s Day of Final Judgment). On this special Feast Day of Yom Kippur, in a special Year of Jubilee coming soon, our Lord Yeshua will sound that Great Jubilee Shofar call, as He returns in battle from Heaven to earth, with His special Bride and all the rest of His Armies! 9) In Exodus 19:19 it says: And when the blast of the Shofar sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by Voice. In Exodus 20:18, 19, 22, it says and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off. 12

13 Then they said to Moses, You speak with us, and we will hear! But let not God speak with us, lest we die! Then the LORD said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have talked to you from Heaven. Hebrews 12:19 says, the sound of a Trumpet and the Voice of Words, so that those who heard it begged that the Word should not be spoken to them anymore. God spoke to them all the words of the Ten Commandments As I study the above scriptures, I have this question could it be that God spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai through the loud sound of His Voice as a Shofar? Yes! My proofs : the Scriptures below. 10a) I (Yochanan [John]) was in the Spirit on the Lord s day, and heard behind me a Great Voice, as of a Trumpet, saying, I Am the Aleph and the Tav, the First and the Last. (Revelation 1:10, 11) the Alpha and the Omega 10b) After this I (John) looked, and, behold, a door was opened in Heaven: and the first Voice which I heard was as it were of a Trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up here... (Revelation 4:1) (see read Isaiah 58:1) Now before I give the answer to this mystery of just how many times I believe that our Lord Yeshua uses His Voice like a Shofar into His Creation, I must first present another major key to this puzzle, found in Matthew 22. It is also one of the greatest proofs that Yeshua s Bride goes to Heaven, which is not always being taught to believers in His Body. In Matthew 22, Yeshua gives one of His most important and detailed parables about this Marriage Supper of the Lamb. In Matthew 22:7, Yeshua tells us that He will not hold this event, this Wedding Banquet with food, until after He first sends His armies and destroys His enemies, and burns up their city. (Revelation 18:1-19; 19:9; Joel 2:1-11; Isaiah 25:6-10) 13

14 And we also see this event being fulfilled in Revelation 19:11, with the Heavens opened and our Lord sitting on His white horse, mounted and ready to return to earth. And in verse 14 we see His special armies in fine linen also riding with Him on white horses, returning with the LORD of hosts into battle. (Zechariah 9:14) Who are these armies with the Lord? These armies are His Wife with all His other saints returning with Yeshua from Heaven! For these armies to be His Wife, this means that the Marriage of Yeshua and His Bride (Wife) has already happened in Heaven! And also that their Honeymoon in Heaven has been completed We see the Lord s Armies returning to earth with King Yeshua, destroying His enemies & later holding the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Isaiah 25:6-10) on Succoth, which will inaugurate His 1000 year Millennial Reign, celebrated every year on His Birthday. (read Zechariah 14:16) When Yeshua said in Matthew 22:7, that He would not hold this event, this Marriage Banquet, until He would first send His armies to totally destroy His enemies, He knew all the time that the armies He would send would be His Wife and the rest of His saints returning with Him from Heaven. This is God s powerful proof that His Bride first goes to Heaven for their Wedding, and then returns with Him to earth for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb! On what biblical Feast does Yeshua s Bride go up to Heaven in order to prepare for her Wedding (like in the story of Queen Ester)? This answer will be explored in another book. But one key to remember is that like Yeshua, who was be taken up to Heaven on first fruits of barley harvest during Passover (Leviticus 23:10), Yeshua s Bride is also a first fruits Harvest; She is the fulfillment of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, called Shavuot! Also see this sign of fruitfruits in Revelation 7:3 and Revelation 14:1 and 4. 14

15 And now I will give you the answer to this great Mystery of the Shofar of God. God Yeshua, who speaks in His Word about both the First Trump, the Last Trump, and the Great Trump, only sounds His Shofar two times into His Creation. He first sounded this Shofar over 2 + million Israelis and a mixed multitude camped at the base of Mount Sinai. (Exodus 12:38) He will again sound His Shofar only once more when He returns with His Wife (+ His Armies) from Heaven, coming in battle, sounding the Great Shofar, which causes all the rest of His Body to Unite together with Him in the air, both those in Heaven and also those on earth, as He saves those on earth who are about to perish, and at the same time destroys all His enemies at His appearing. And all this will happen on God s Feast Day of Yom Kippur, as Yeshua fulfills every jot and tittle of the Word of God related to His return, as He returns back to earth. Here are five of the biblical proofs for Yeshua s return on the Feast of Yom Kippur a) As the Great High Priest of Heaven, Yeshua leaves His dwelling place in the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, entering the earth s atmosphere on the only day of the year when the Aaronic High Priest would be allowed to enter and to leave the Holy of Holies, on this Feast Day, Day of Atonement. (Leviticus 16; 23:27, 28) b) And as Yeshua returns on this Day of Battle, He sounds the Great Shofar. (Zechariah 9:14) For Yom Kippur is also God s biblical Day of Final Judgment for all those unrepented! c) And He will also soon sound this Great Shofar, on a special Year of Jubilee, on that one biblical day of the year, Yom Kippur, when God said that the shofar was to be sounded in the Year of Jubilee, on the tenth day of Tishri, the Day of Atonement! (Leviticus 25:8-13) It is a Jubilee only for those who are saved! 15

16 d) Yeshua comes in battle on this Day of Battle, first saving those who are ready to perish! (Isaiah 27:13) On Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, He will save those who have repented, whose sins have been forgiven by God. that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved! Joel 2:32 Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is like a two sided event. On one side is God s Atonement or forgiveness of God for those who have called on our Messiah Yeshua, thanking Him for dying on the Cross and shedding His Blood for our sins, confessing and repenting for all of their sins. These have been saved by God. For another group, it is God s Final Judgment for those who have not repented for their sins, and have resisted and rebelled against God! There are 10 days from Zichron Teruah or Yom Teruah, Tishri 1, called Rosh HaShanah, [also known as the Day of Judgment] until the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is called the Day of Atonement, but only for those who have repented and have been saved by God by accepting Yeshua as their Lord. This is also the Day of God s Final Judgment. It comes at the end of the Day of the LORD, the Day of Battle, when Yeshua returns and battles all His enemies, those who have refused the Salvation of the Lamb of God. It is that Day when our Lord Yeshua returns to earth with His armies and destroys all His enemies. Afterwards He will hold the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Jerusalem on His Birthday, on the Feast of Succoth. This Feast will be Celebrated every year for 1000 years during Yeshua s Millennial Reign. Zechariah 14:16 e) As He comes with His Armies, His Wife, He sounds the Great Shofar. (Zechariah 9:14; Matthew 22:7; 24:31; Revelation 19:11-14; Joel 2:1-11, etc ) Most of the Old Covenant prophets wrote about the Lord s return, and the Day of the LORD, when our God returns to earth in battle. Also, in the Song of Solomon 6: 4, 9, 10, God s Bride is referred to as an Army with banners. 16

17 And at the sounding of this Great Shofar, all the rest of Yeshua s Body will be instantly gathered together unto Him, from all ends of Heaven to all ends of earth, just before Yeshua pours out the Fire of His Wrath on all His enemies who have gathered together below on earth to fight against Him. (see Ephesians 1:10) Now if Yeshua only sounds His Shofar twice into Creation, then this means that the Last Trump is also the Great Trump, and that this Great Trump is the last time when Yeshua sounds His Shofar into Creation, just as He is returning to earth to begin His Millennial Kingdom Reign with His Wife from Jerusalem. As at Mount Sinai, this Shofar will sound again on the Third Day! Come, and let us return to the LORD; for He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two Days He will revive us; on the Third Day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Hosea 6:1, 2 (Exodus 19:11 on the third day the LORD will come down.) I have now shown you the answer to this great Shofar Mystery. But an answer without biblical proofs is not really a complete answer. It could even be considered by many as a guess. God has shown us in His Word at least three proofs that verify this answer. The first bible proof is found in Numbers 10:1-3. Here God s gives His first instructions to the Aaronic priests on the biblical uses of the silver trumpets, the hat-zo-tzr-ot. God first teaches the Aaronic priests in the use of two silver trumpets. Two silver trumpets were to be sounded together by two priests, which caused the whole Israeli camp of over 2 million people to unite together into the Presence of the LORD. This first teaching given by God to His priests was a key to the mystery of the Lord s return; it was also a major mystery key for Uniting together today God s World-wide Body of believers in Yeshua. 17

18 Here, two silver trumpets being sounded at the same time, was God s first instruction for uniting together the Israelite camp. We should also be applying this same biblical Word now in our cities and nations, for Uniting together all of Yeshua s Body! Yeshua is in Heaven; He is not bound by time! He sees the beginning from the end for all His plans for all of Creation. And so, the two times that He sounds His Shofar, first over the Israelite camp at Mount Sinai, and second when He returns with His Wife, are God s two Trumpet calls! These two Trumpets sounded will cause Yeshua s whole Body to Unite together into His Presence! If we, as Yeshua s special priests, follow God s instructions first given to the Aaronic priests, I believe that this will contribute greatly to help unite together Yeshua s Body of believers into One. When Lord Yeshua Himself sounds this Great Shofar upon His returning from Heaven with His Wife, then all the rest of His Body will be immediately gathered together into His Presence in the air. And now the most important proof. To see it, we must go back to Genesis and to Abraham, and to Abraham s obedience to God when he was asked by God to offer up his son Isaac, to offer up his only son of Promise. And because Abraham obeyed God s Voice on top of Mount Moriah, God spared his son Isaac with a substitute offering, a ram caught in the thicket. Notice that this ram was caught in the thicket by both its two horns and offered up instead of Isaac. For these two horns would represent the two times God Yeshua would send His Voice into Creation like a Shofar (ram s horn) call, for God Eternal plans for His Bride (from the One new man), whom He would call out from Israel & from the nations of the earth. Genesis 22:13 What an Amazing and Wonderful God we serve!!! 18

19 God also showed this mystery in the book of Revelation in 1:10, 11 and 4:1-3, using His Voice two times like a Trumpet to call up Yochanan (John) to Himself. Here, Yeshua used His Voice two times like a Shofar call! Jewish Orthodox biblical scholars teach that God first entered into a Marriage betrothal with Israel at Mount Sinai, with the giving of the Ten Commandments. This was the beginning of God s Plan for Marriage betrothal of Yeshua with His Bride from His Body. This Love Call for God s Bride would go out into all the earth, throughout time. It would be a call to both Jews and Gentiles. It would be for those who are the true lovers of God, those who have chosen God above all else, and have desired a deep intimacy with God, their Bridegroom King. This will be fulfilled only when our Bridegroom Yeshua has Married His Bride! As this Marriage ceremony ends in Heaven on Zichron Teruah, (Commemoration of the Teruah or Shofar sounded at Mount Sinai), the 7 th angel will sound the 7 th trumpet, seen in Revelation 10:7 & 11:15. Yeshua s Wife will have made Herself ready for the Lamb s Wedding! We know from both the Old and New Covenant passages that Yeshua is both the Alpha and the Omega (Greek); in the Hebrew He is called the Aleph and the Tav. He is the Author and Finisher of our Faith, and He is the Word of God made flesh! He is the Beginning, and He is also the End of His own true Love Story. And so we see the Mystery of these two Great Shofar calls of our Bridegroom King for His Bride. And the time that still remains between these two Great Shofar calls of God is the time to be used by the lovers of God for the perfecting of Yeshua s Body. For His Bride is now making Herself ready! 19

20 This Mystery of the Shofar of God has now been revealed to you, which I hope gives you a deeper and clearer understanding of the sequence of events of our Lord Yeshua s soon return. This means that Yeshua s Bride is not taken up into Heaven with the sounding of the Shofar, as so many teach. For this is impossible, if Yeshua only sounds His Shofar twice into Creation. For at the sounding of the Great Shofar, He will be returning with His Wife. If Yeshua does not call His Bride into Heaven with the Shofar, then just how does our Bridegroom take His Bride up into Heaven? Will He personally call His beloved Bride? Is this found anywhere in Scripture? I believe the answer to this mystery of Yeshua s Bride being taken to Heaven is found in Revelation 10:3-7, when Yeshua cries aloud with a Lion s Roar, and then tells us that because of what happened by the Lion s Roar, there will be delay no longer! This mystery, along with many other End Time mysteries that are mentioned in this book related to our Lord Yeshua s soon return have been explored in detail, and answered in an understandable and biblical way in a special new book that I have just published for Shavuot this year, It is called, Revealing the Mysteries of the Bride of King and Great High Priest Yeshua!

The Mystery of Yeshua s Return The 10 places where Yeshua sounds the Shofar in the Bible by Richard Aaron Honorof 20

21 Key to Revival: New Revelations about Yeshua s Blood In that Day a Fountain shall be opened for the House of David & for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. Zechariah 13:1 This Fountain has new Revelations about the Blood of Yeshua! God told us clearly through His angel Gabriel that our Lord Yeshua was also from the family of Aaron, besides being from the family of king David. Angel Gabriel told Miriam about her relative Elisheva of Aaron (in Hebrew the word is karov, or close relative). Luke 1:36 This was written in Greek, and the Strong s Greek Concordance number for this word relative is #4773, meaning blood relative. Yeshua is clearly also from the family of Aaron! Since Miriam was a virgin, that meant that she & her Child Yeshua could only be from one tribe, the tribe of Miriam s father, which was Judah, from the family of king David. But God also told us through His angel Gabriel that Miriam s mother s family was Aaron. Also since Miriam was a virgin that meant that her Child had no earthly father. Therefore her Child could never be an Aaronic priest, since the Aaronic priesthood was only passed from earthly father to son. Also, it meant that her Child would have no sin, since it was the sins of the fathers, and not the mothers, that was passed to the children up to the third and fourth generations. Exodus 20:25 & 34:7 Since Yeshua is also from Aaron, that means that we have missed 50% of His physical earthly identity. But that s only the beginning of what was missed for 2000 years of this Great Mystery of Yeshua. If Yeshua is from the family of Aaron, are there any Old Covenant prophesies about Messiah coming from Aaron? Yes, there are three major prophesies. They are found in Jeremiah 33:14-24, Zechariah 3:1, 8, and also in Zechariah 6: We have not only missed 50 % of Yeshua s physical earthly identity, but we have also missed this Great Mystery of Yeshua s Blood Offering & Sacrifice that was done by a Man from the family of Aaron! And we have also missed many other mysteries related to the Blood of Yeshua. For any blood sacrifice to have been done by a son of Aaron, it had to have met certain very specific qualifications or conditions, which also tells us a lot more about which specific family of Aaron that both Miriam and Miriam s mother had to have come from. 21

22 Yeshua is the King of Heaven, the King of Glory and the LORD of hosts. (Psalm 24:10) Yeshua is also the Great High Priest of Heaven, Melchi Zedek (my King of Righteousness). (Psalm 110:1, 4) As the King of Heaven, Yeshua would be born as the fulfillment of the family of king David. And as the Great High Priest of Heaven, Melchi Zedek, my King of Righteousness, Yeshua would be born from a specific high priest family of Aaron called righteous. Is there such a family? Yes! There is a special Hebrew word found only in the Old Covenant for the coming Messiah. In English it is the word Branch, but in Hebrew it is the word Tzemach. Tzemach appears 5 times, in only 5 different places in the Old Covenant Hebrew Scriptures. We will begin by quoting from one specific passage in Jeremiah 33 Jeremiah 33:14-24 [Tzemach: the Man from David & the Man of Aaron] 14 Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the House of Israel and to the House of Judah. 15 In those days and at that time I will cause to grow up to David a Branch (Tzemach) of Righteousness. He shall execute Judgment and Righteousness in the earth. 16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. And this is the name by which she will be called, The LORD our Righteousness. 17 For thus says the LORD, David shall never lack a Man to sit on the Throne of the House of Israel; 18 nor shall the Levitical priests lack a Man before Me, [Ezekiel 44:15] to offer burnt offerings, to kindle grain offerings, and do a Sacrifice forever (kol ha yamin)! 19 And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 20 Thus says the LORD, If you can break My Covenant with the day and My Covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season, 21 then My Covenant may also be broken with David My servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers. 22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me. 23 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 24 Have you not considered what these people have spoken, saying, the two families which the LORD has chosen Verse 24 tells us that God had chosen two families to birth His Son Tzemach of Righteousness (the Branch of Rightousness), who is also the LORD our Righteousness, to earth; that these two families would be the family of king David of Judah, and the family of Aaron. His Son would come to earth through the virgin. Miriam s Child would be coming from 22

23 these two families, David s family and Aaron s family, but He could only be from one tribe, the tribe of Miriam s father, of Judah. [The Lion of Judah!] Why is this so important? Because it explains clearly this mystery about Jeremiah 33 verses 17 and For thus says the LORD, David shall never lack a Man to sit on the Throne of the House of Israel; 18 nor shall the Levitical priests lack a Man before Me, [Ezekiel 44:15,16] to offer burnt offerings, to kindle grain offerings, and to do a Sacrifice forever (kol ha yamin)! You see the Man in verse 17 and the Man in verse 18 is the same Man. The Man from David s family who would be King and the Man from Aaron s family, who would do the Eternal Sacrifice, fulfill all the prophesies about the two families that God choose for His Son, Yeshua; the two families that God chose to birth His Son through the virgin Miriam. Therefore the Man in verse 18 cannot be an Aaronic priest, since this Child had no earthly father. Also this Child could never be from the tribe of Levi. But this Child will always be from the family of Aaron. But more than that, God is telling us another mystery about this Man in verse 18. It says that this Man is positioned to be before God, by using the Hebrew word lifne. So what does that tell us? God is telling us through His prophet Jeremiah, in verse 18, which specific family of Aaron this Man is coming from. We will look at this answer found in two different Scriptures. But first, let s go to God s Word related to a blood sacrifice being done by a priest who is a son of Aaron. The information is found in five places in Ezekiel 40 through 48. I will quote from one of these five places in the book of Ezekiel. [Ezekiel 40:46; 43:18, 19; 44:15, 16; 45:4; 48:11] Ezekiel 44:15, 16 But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My Sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near to Me to minister to Me; & they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood, says the Lord GOD. They shall enter My Sanctuary, & they shall come near My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge. [Zadok in English means righteous ] Yeshua is the Great High Priest of Heaven, Melchi Zedek, my King of Righteousness. He was born from both the Aaronic high priest family of Zadok, (which means righteous ) and also from the family of king David. Zadok is the Aaronic high priest family of Miriam and Miriam s mother. 23

24 Yeshua s Blood Offering and Sacrifice was done by the Man, whose Heavenly title is Melchi Zedek, the Great High Priest of Heaven, coming from the high priest family of Zadok, Miriam s family from her mother. This is how all these Messianic prophesies related to Aaron were fulfilled. Zechariah 6:11-13 [Tzemach : the Man, Heaven s King and High Priest] 11 Take the silver and gold, make elaborate (kings) crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua (Yehoshua) the son of Jeho-zadok, the high priest. 12 Then speak to him, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold, the Man whose name is the Branch (Tzemach)! From His place He shall branch out, and He shall build the Temple of the LORD! 13 Yes, He shall build the Temple of the LORD! He shall bear the Glory, and shall sit and Rule on His Throne; so He shall be a Priest on His Throne. And the counsel of Peace shall be between them both. (also in Zechariah 3:1, 8) Here Tzemach, the Branch (the Messiah) is prophesied to the Aaronic high priest named Joshua, whose Hebrew name is Yehoshua. But this same Aaronic high priest is also called Yeshua in the books of Ezra & Nehemiah. And in this Zechariah 6:11 passage, we are told that Yehoshua is a Zadok high priest, for his father s name is Jeho-zadok. God confirmed 2 times that Tzemach would be coming from the high priest family of Zadok, besides coming from the family of king David. (Jeremiah 23:5, 6 and 33:17, 18, 24) Also we are clearly told twice that it will be Tzemach who will build the Temple of the LORD (and not the Aaronic priests), and that Tzemach will be both the King and the Great High Priest of the Millennial Temple. Yeshua is Tzemach! He is both the Son of God (Isaiah 4:2) and the Son of Man, coming from the families of David & Yehoshua of Zadok of Aaron. We have missed both Yeshua s full earthly identity, but more importantly we missed Yeshua s Blood Sacrifice prophesied from family of Yehoshua of Zadok of Aaron. Jeremiah 23:5, 6; 33:14-24; Zechariah 3:1, 8 & 6: This was the same high priest family as priest Zechariah and Elisheva of Aaron, in Luke 1:5, 6, 36. God has told us in 1 John 5:8, that there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the Water, and the Blood, and these three agree. The Holy Spirit of Truth bringing new Revelations about the Blood of Yeshua, will cause a new release of Living Waters, i.e. the coming Great Revival! There are so many more new Revelations from the Holy Spirit of Truth regarding Yeshua coming from Aaron which are found in both the Old and New Covenants, that have been explained in depth in my new book called, King & Great High Priest Yeshua from King David and Zadok of Aaron! 24

25 The Reasons for my Sounding Two Kudu Horn Shofars by Richard Aaron Honorof, first written in 1998, revised 2017 I am a Messianic Jew, and I am a minister of the Lord Yeshua. I was saved in I am both an American and also an Israeli citizen. I began in full time ministry for the Lord Jesus in the spring of 1982, shortly after I was raised up into Heaven by the Holy Spirit, and stood before the King of Glory. The name of my ministry is called Feed My Sheep, a name given to me by Yeshua Himself in the spring of It is a permanent name, for it is the Word of God that Yeshua personally spoke and planted deep into me with His Powerful Divine Love! This happened to me while I was reading the Bible from the 21 st chapter of the Book of John, where Yeshua was speaking to Peter, Feed My Sheep! (John 21:16, 17) I will never forget that experience, for it changed my life forever. After that I fell, and for the next nine years was tortured in the demonic worlds because of my lack of knowledge of God s Word, and of my enemy, and because of my calling from God. But since my experience in 1982, the Lord has continually been working and setting me free by the Power of His Holy Spirit. He has not only been restoring me, but He has been teaching me how to live a born again Victorious Life. Our God is so Faithful! In 1982, on Passover weekend, in the Southern California desert, around 10 am, while in great agony, crying out to God to free me from my constant demonic torment that I had been suffering from for many years, having just come out of nine years in the occult and New Age, I was suddenly raised up into Heaven while fully awake. I found myself standing before the God of Heaven. His face was so brilliant, like the Sun Glowing in its full Glory! I could not see any of the features of His face, except that I saw that He wore just a simple golden crown. I know now that I was standing before the One whom the bible calls the King of Glory; who is also the LORD of hosts! Psalm 24:10 says it wonderfully, Who is the King of Glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of Glory! He brought me out of the enemy s hands, because of His great Mercy and Love and compassion for me, and because of His Blood which He shed for me on the Cross to forgive me of all my sins. I don t deserve what He has done for me, and what He continues to do for me over these many years since I am forever grateful to my Savior and Lord and Messiah Yeshua. 25

26 The King of Heaven came over to me, and lovingly placed a crimson robe around my shoulders; but no words were spoken. Then I found myself back down in the California desert, with His assignment in my heart. The Feed My Sheep company was started in I sold Messianic materials to Christian bookstores all over the United States, and also to other countries, carrying a complete line of my own Scripture photo greeting cards and prints, Messianic art, Messianic books & Messianic music, until the fall of 1998, when I closed down my company and moved to Jerusalem, Israel. After that experience in 1982, Yeshua also began directing me to write my first Scripture book for Him, using the Scriptures He had first shown me in 1973 after I began reading the Bible and was Saved, when the Scriptures came Alive off the pages of the Bible and entered my heart with Powerful divine Love! All those Old Covenant Scriptures which God had made come Alive were related to Messiah Yeshua and to His first and second coming! For the next ten years, from 1982 to 1992, I followed the Lord s direction, as Scripture by Scripture were put into position, to form a very special book, a very comprehensive collection of Messianic Scriptures from the Jewish Holy Scriptures, which showed all the prophesies of the life of the Messiah, found throughout the Tanakh. All of these prophesies about the Messiah had been written hundreds of years before Yeshua s actual birth in Israel. My first book was called: THE COMING MESSIAH! The Son of David It contained 192 pages, with over 550 different Scripture references to Messiah Yeshua s first coming. These scriptures were all taken from the Old Covenant Jewish Bible, to show Yeshua s life, as prophesied before He came to earth. God had spoken these Scripture prophesies through His Old Covenant Jewish prophets. This book shows most of these main Scriptures prophesied about Yeshua. The book was first published in When this book was finished, God directed me to begin announcing Yeshua s Coming with both my new book & also with my two kudu shofars, first to Christian bookstores and conferences all over the U. S. A., and then to Israel in Before my book was finished, I could blow one kudu shofar. But after my first book was done, within a few months the Holy Spirit directed me to begin blowing two shofars at the same time. At that time I had no idea why. God had put this ability to blow the two shofars inside of me, not only to make them sound as one, but to teach me how to let go, and to surrender inside. As I would blow the two shofars, the Holy Spirit would take over. 26

27 I knew almost nothing about blowing a shofar when I first began, and I didn t know why God wanted me to blow the two kudu horns, except that I knew it had something to do with announcing Yeshua s Second Coming. God then directed me to list the biblical reasons and the Scriptural basis for why I blow the two kudu horns. Each of us as believers in Yeshua are created by God to fulfill a certain part of His divine plan for His soon return. We have to be obedient to God s call on our lives, no matter what the cost. God used the ram as a substitute for the life of Isaac, so God could form the nation of Israel. This ram was caught in the thicket by its two horns. From this, Orthodox Jews concluded that the Shofar which God originally sounded from the heavens above Mount Sinai was the First Trumpet. They believe the Shofar call blown when Messiah comes will wake up the dead; this being the Resurrection of the righteous. This has been called the Last Trumpet. However, they incorrectly believe that this will be blown on the Feast Day of Zichron or Yom Teruah (Rosh HaShanah), the 1 st of the month of Tishri. The Lord has taught me that the blowing of two shofars at the same time, represents the fulfillment of God s plan for Israel. Biblically, the calling together of an assembly of 2 1/2 million Jewish people began in the Sinai with sounding of 2 silver trumpets, & was used to bring the people together before the Presence of the LORD at the Tent of Meeting. [Numbers 10:3] In both 1995 and 1996, I was asked by the director of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, (I.C.E.J.) to open their Feast of Tabernacles program at the Jerusalem Convention Center. God directed me to blow two kudu horns together, so that things would be done in a more biblical way. [Numbers 10:3] Instead of two trumpeters, who would not blow exactly the same sound, or match the changes of tone levels with exact timing and degree of anointing, the Lord directed me to sound the two shofars together for His Glory. On that 1 st night in 1995, He was the One who sounded these shofars through me. I have opened many meetings in the U.S. and in Israel blowing these two kudu horn shofars, but never like that night. God had me blowing these two horns to announce the Return of our Messiah, King Yeshua. With these two horns, I proclaimed the Majesty of our God as the true King of Israel. Sounding the shofar is God s biblical way to announce the coming of our new King, the King of Glory. For King David had his son Solomon proclaimed as the new king, with the High Priest Zadok going before Solomon blowing the ram s horn shofar, and shouting, Long live king Solomon! 1 st Kings 1:39 27

28 Blowing the two kudu horns sometimes makes a very wonderful sound, which is carried up into the heavens, which the Holy Spirit does inside of me. I am His instrument and I try my best to hit the right notes, but it is God who does it from within me, so that I am not only able to hit the right notes in just the right way, making the two kudu horn shofars sound like one, but I also enter into a deep surrender into God, as I blow these two shofars together. Many times God has brought His anointing on the audience when I blew these two kudu horn shofars. He used this double kudu horn shofar sound to open the Heavens and to bring the Outpouring of His Spirit. The Holy Spirit basically does it all. For on my own, at times I can hardly hit any clear note. This keeps me humble and surrendered, and prayerful when I blow, praying that the notes will be blown in just the right way on the two different kudu horn shofars, to make them sound as one. Something happens in the Spirit, for God has also used this sound and anointing to set people free when this happens. Quoting from Numbers 10:9... When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the (two silver) trumpets, and you shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. It may be about this Promise from the Word of God that I believe God uses to set His people free, when these two kudu horn shofars are blown together. It is important for the shofar to sound good, but it is also very important to know the many Scripture Promises of God related to the blowing of the shofar. In 1996, God had me do a study of the Scriptures on the shofar, in which I listed 40 of the most important reasons for blowing the shofar, that I found in both the Old and New Covenants. That eight page shofar study is still available today, and is free to download from off my website, and is called, Sounding The Shofars. Since 1992, God has used me to help raise up an army of shofar blowers, mainly in the United States, but also from many other countries in the world. The Holy Spirit has taught me that Succoth, the Feast of Tabernacles is Yeshua s true Birthday. Succoth will also be the biblical feast when the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will take place (on Yeshua s Birthday) in Jerusalem. I have just updated my newest book for the Lord, where these biblical truths about the Mysteries of Yeshua s Bride are revealed, with many other new revelations from the Lord also being presented. 28

29 When I blow the shofars during Succoth, I am aware that I am doing this on Yeshua s true Birthday, and that I am also announcing the true biblical feast when the Marriage Supper of The Lamb will be held back down in Jerusalem when our Lord Yeshua returns. (see Isaiah 25:6-10) Yeshua s Marriage is different from His Marriage Supper. These are two different biblical events, which will be held at different times, and in two different places. Yeshua s Wedding will be held in Heaven, most likely on the Feast of Zichron Teruah or Yom Teruah (Rosh HaShanah), and then the Wedding Banquet, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, will be held back down on earth in Jerusalem during Succoth or Feast of Tabernacles. I blow the two shofars not only to announce the Second Coming of King Yeshua, but to announce that King Yeshua is the One who will blow the Great Shofar, which will happen at His Second Coming. (Zechariah 9:14) King Yeshua will blow the Shofar when He returns to earth with His Bride on the day of Yom Kippur. Biblically, Yom Kippur is the only day when the High Priest was able to enter and leave the Holy of Holies. This Shofar call of God, clearly seen in Zechariah 9:14, is also seen many other places, as in Isaiah 27:13, where it is called the Great Shofar. Also see Matthew 24:31, 1 st Thessalonians 4:16,17. This Shofar will be blown on the year of Jubilee. (Leviticus 25:9, 10) All these teaching are included in my recent book called, Revealing the Mysteries of the Bride of our King and Great High Priest Yeshua! The shofars are now being blown to wake-up Yeshua s sleeping Body! The Lord has also taught me that the whole Church is not Yeshua s Bride, but only a very small group within His Body of the saved Church will make up His special Bride, of those who are most intimate with their Bridegroom Lover, King and Great High Priest Yeshua. This is a group of totally sold out and surrendered and faithful lovers of God. Revelation 19:7 reveals that Yeshua will be married to His Wife, His Bride, who will be Spiritual Israel; She will be made up of both Jews and Gentiles. For His special Bride will be a firstfruits offering to Him. (Revelation 14:4) For as Leviticus 23:17 clearly points out, the first-fruits offering will be two wheat loaves. There will be 144,000 per loaf from the two different groups. I believe that Revelation 14:1-5 is the wheat loaf from the nations, and that Revelation 7:3-8 represents the 144,000 from the Jewish part of His Bride. 29

30 Yeshua is the Head of this Body. His Bride will be the Heart of His Body, and will enjoy a most intimate relationship with Him. She will carry His anointing to the rest of His saved Body, as those who are the Guests at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The Holy Spirit has taught me these truths. These Truths are expounded upon in many of my books. Most of the saved believers are not the Bride of Messiah; but will be Yeshua s Guests [His special friends] at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb held in Jerusalem. The shofar call is an urgent wake-up call for the whole Church, for God s Body is sleeping; for Lord Yeshua s return is very near, even at the door! The blowing of the two shofars announces that the Messiah is bringing both Jew and Gentile, the One new Man, together into One united Body. This had always been Father God s plan and the Messiah s biblical calling. [Isaiah 49:6 and John 17:11] The Reasons for Sounding Two Kudu Horn Shofars Written and Copyright 1998, Revised, 2017 by Richard Aaron Honorof My friend Marty Goetz and I, Jerusalem, Mount of Olives,

31 Announcing Kingdom of Heaven in Jerusalem Reform Synagogue On my birthday, on Sunday, September 24 th, 1995, I was in Jerusalem where I attended a special Rosh HaShanah service at Roeh Israel Messianic Hebrew speaking Congregation in the center of Jerusalem. Later that afternoon a special birthday party was given for me at that Congregation by some of the members, and I slept there that night as a guest in a room in the Congregation. In the middle of the night God woke me up, and told me that in the morning I was to take my two kudu shofars and go to Har El Reform Synagogue near by for their Rosh HaShanah service. And that when the Rabbi would invite me up to the podium to sound my two kudu shofars, which Scriptures I was to share aloud in that Synagogue. I had never been to that Synagogue before! So on Monday morning I obeyed God, got all dressed up, and went to that Synagogue, taking my two kudu horn shofars with me, hoping, and praying, and believing that I had really heard correctly from God, and that I would get a chance to speak with the Rabbi. To make this long story shorter, everything happened exactly as God had told me the night before. But then I fell asleep during their all Hebrew service, not understanding any of the Hebrew, when suddenly the old Rabbi, who was also the shofar blower of the synagogue, and who didn t blow the shofars very well at all, was waking me up, pulling on my sleeve at the end of their Rosh HaShanah service, and inviting me to come up to the podium, and to share with his Congregation my special gift of why I blow two shofars at the same time, and then have me blow my two shofars. I quietly shared the first two reasons God had given me to speak, as the audience cried out, Speak louder! Speak louder! Then as I was shaking a lot I yelled out the main Scripture that God had given me to share the night before from the book of Daniel 2:44: And in the days of those kings, shall the God of Heaven set up a Kingdom which shall never be destroyed, but it shall consume all these other kingdoms, and it shall stand Forever, 31

32 the Kingdom of the LORD GOD of Israel! Then the Anointing of God fell strongly on that room, and the people got very excited. And with my body shaking and my knees knocking, I sounded my two kudu horn shofars together to the Glory of God, and then the Power of God hit that room Mightily, and all the people were on their feet, screaming! I shook the old Rabbi s hands, got down off the podium, and left the building; assignment over! God had just Powerfully announced the Word of His prophet Daniel, the Coming of the King and Kingdom of Heaven to Israel, in that Rosh HaShanah service, September 25 th, in Jerusalem, 1995, in Har El Reform Synagogue, using that Old Testament Scripture that is closest to its New Testament counterpart of Matthew 10:7, Behold, the Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand! [Later I discovered that American and Israeli leaders signed Oslo 2 three days later, on the 28 th of September, in Washington, D.C.] Sounding my two Kudu Horn Shofars to open I.C.E.J. Conference; Opening Night Feast of Tabernacles, Jerusalem Convention Center That fall of 1995, I sounded my two kudu shofars at three major events, the first one I have just shared of what happened in Har El Reform secular Synagogue on the morning of the 2 nd day of Rosh HaShanah. Next I was asked by the founder of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, Jan Willem Van der Hoeven, to open their Feast of Tabernacles Conference, after I had sounded my two shofars for him in his office; so he heard what these sounded like when blown together. It was a great honor for me, but I was very nervous that night as I waited high above the stage, for my signal to come out onto the overhead platform. I had spent hours doing deep breathing, for my lungs to hold a lot of air for the long blasts. Then when I actually sounded those two shofars, God took over, and He blew those two shofars through me with such an amazing sound, the best sound I have ever heard done with those shofars. 32

33 Richard Aaron Honorof, Jerusalem Convention Center Announcing the Coming of our Lord, King Priest Yeshua The Feast of Tabernacles, October 9 th, 1995 To watch and hear these two kudu horn shofars being sounded, go on my website to Author s Books or Author s Articles, to where it says: watch and listen to the sounds of the two shofars, announcing the coming of our Lord Yeshua. Just after I.C.E.J. s opening night, I was then also asked to join in the annual city wide Jerusalem March, which is held during every Succoth. Somehow I happened to be positioned at the head of the I.C.E.J. marchers and the floats. So for over two hours I marched in this large parade through the streets all over Jerusalem, sounding my two kudu shofars, announcing the coming of our Lord & Savior and soon coming King, Yeshua the Messiah, to Jerusalem & Israel. 33

34 Five years later, on the Saturday morning of Yom Teruah, on September 30 th, 2000, in Jerusalem, a group of 27 believers began a walk from the Ben Hinnom Valley to the Gihon Spring, sounding 7 silver trumpets, following what we believed to be the way that king David had brought up the Ark of the Covenant into the city of David. At Gihon Spring, Yeshua was anointed and proclaimed the coming King of Jerusalem and Israel, pouring anointing oil on Him (spiritually) from my special anointing shofar using a similar biblical pattern that God had given Samuel to anoint David as king, and also the same pattern that David had given to his high priest Zadok to anoint Solomon as the new king of Israel. The Presence of God showed up powerfully on that day down there by the waters of the Gihon Spring, as God s Presence fell mightily when the 7 silver trumpets were sounded! 1 st Kings 1:39 Seven Silver Trumpets sounded at Gihon Spring, 9/30/2000 And Yeshua spoke (to His disciples), It has been given to you to know the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God! Luke 8:10 34

35 The purpose of this book, The Mystery Shofar of God, is to help prepare believers with God s Truth in this late hour, to warn them of the time we are now living in. For we are entering into the real End Times just before our Lord Yeshua returns. Yeshua died to give us total Victory! We must have true intimacy with Him to be His Bride. Abide in Me for without Me you can do nothing! God wants us to Wake up and to not be deceived; to discern the Truth from many erroneous End Time teachings. you also Be Ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:44 Don t be deceived! see Matthew 24:4, 24 I wish to say that the answers to many of the mysteries shared in this book have been given to me over many years. They are all hidden treasures from the Scriptures; for they are God s prophetic End Time revelations. These answers may be subject to error with all the new revelations that Yeshua is now bringing into His Body. So pray and ask God for confirmation regarding the things that you have just read in this book. Some of these revelations may not be what you have ever heard about, or read before, but seriously study all this Scripture evidence. I use many new Jewish keys to better understand the sequence of these soon coming End Time events. Without applying these biblical keys, such as the mysteries in the Seven Feasts of the LORD, and the mysteries of Yeshua as the Shofar blower of the Bible, you reach very different conclusions. But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the End for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the End. Many shall be purified, made white, and refined none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand! Daniel 12:4, 9, 10 For the Testimony of Yeshua is the Spirit of Prophecy.

36 Mystery of the Silver Trumpets! Importance in 24/7 Worship and Intercession for Restoration of World-Wide Tent of David The Shofar (ram s horn and the African kudu horn) has now gained world wide acceptance and recognition, for it is now being used world wide as a multi purpose weapon of God in the hands of perhaps many 10,000 s of believers in the Body of Messiah Yeshua. Why? Because the shofar represents the Voice of Yeshua. (Zechariah 9:14) And every time believers in Yeshua sound the shofar, they are announcing the Coming of our Lord. However, when God first began instructing Moses and the Aaronic priests on the use of trumpet in the Sinai God first taught them about the Silver Trumpets as the weapons to be used by the priests for many different varied purposes, among which were: to unite the camp together before the Presence of the LORD; to direct the movement of God s first army camp of more than 600,000 men (two to three million people were the Hebrews) along with a mixed multitude of people coming from other nations, coming out of Egypt and heading for the Promised Land of Israel; to give this Hebrew army Victory in warfare against their enemies; Read Numbers 10:1-10 (11-28) and Numbers 2:1-34 Today, could the God of Israel be directing the world movement of His believing World Camp back to Jerusalem, using the same patterns of movement that He first taught to the Hebrew camp of the 12 tribes in the Sinai? I believe that this is exactly what God is now doing! (Joel 2:11) See the Roar of the Lion: Hosea 11:10, 11; Joel 3:16; Amos 1:2; 36

37 Richard Aaron and Faith Honorof, Hinnom Valley, 2003 God s first instructions on the trumpets given to the Aaronic priests was on the many biblical uses of the two Silver Trumpets (Ha-tzo-tzrot) Calling the whole Camp together from all 12 tribes. Numbers 10:2 Sounding the two silver trumpets: to unite the Camp together before the leaders and in the Presence of the LORD! Numbers 10:3 Sounding one trumpet: to call the leaders together. Numbers 10:4 To direct the movement of all 12 tribes. Numbers 10:2 Sounding the advance: the tribes on the East were always first, led by Judah ( praise ) Next, the Gershon and Merari Levites moved the Tabernacle. Numbers 10:17 Next the tribes to the South moved forward Numbers 10:5, 6 37

38 Next the Aaronic priests, with the Kohath Levites carrying the Ark; Then the tribes camped to the West moved forward; Last the tribes on the North moved forward as the rear guards. Read Numbers 2:1-34 and Numbers 10:13-28 When you go to war in your own land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm on two silver trumpets, and you shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies! Numbers 10:9 For Celebration, in the day of your gladness Numbers 10:10 Sounded on every biblical Feast of the LORD Numbers 10:10 Sounded at the beginning of each new month Psalm 81:3 The Tent of David : 1 st Chronicles 15, 16; and 2 nd Samuel 6 When King David brought up the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, it was brought up with the Aaronic priests, and the Levites, and the people. The Levites were always submitted to the priests, and all were submitted to King David. The Levites led the worship, while seven priests sounded seven silver trumpets. So all Israel brought up the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD with shouts, with sounds of the shofar, with silver trumpets... 1 st Chronicles 15:24, 28 So David and all the House of Israel brought up the Ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the shofar. 2 nd Samuel 6:15 [ the LORD our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order. 1 Chronicles 15:13] see that everything is done according to the pattern Exodus 25:40 38

39 When the Ark of the Covenant was placed inside the Tent of David, he stationed Levites before the Tent for continual worship. 1 st Chronicles 16:4, 5 But it also says that two priests were also stationed before the Tent of David, and they regularly blew two silver trumpets before the Ark of the Covenant of God. 1 st Chronicles 16:6 This important biblical pattern that God first gave to king David concerning sounding two Silver Trumpets on a regular basis as part of the 24/7 worship watch position before David s Tent, (where the Presence of God dwelt by the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD) is so rarely used today. But it is used in Jerusalem. Perhaps this is the time to restore this important key of the Tent of David, to once again blow the two Silver Trumpets in the 24/7 worship watch positions around the world, and to also implement silver trumpets in new worship watch positions that will soon be raised up. Perhaps then we will begin to see an even greater move of God for world-wide Victory in all the areas of this restoration work in raising up the world wide Tent of David. (Amos 9:11-14) Can we afford to neglect such an important biblical weapon of worship and warfare, specifically given to us by God through His Word given to His priests? When King Solomon inaugurated the first Temple of God in Jerusalem on Succoth, when Levitical worship was in one accord with 120 priests sounding the silver trumpets, the Glory of God fell, and it filled the House of God. 2 nd Chronicles 5:13, 14; (also Glory & fire came down from Heaven) 2 nd Chronicles 7:1-3 Psalm 98:6 shows the use of the the silver trumpets with the shofars in worship and intercession before the God of Israel. 39

40 On my website you will find this teaching, Mystery of the Silver Trumpets, along with many other related teachings, under Author s Articles. I believe that as the two silver trumpets are sounded on a regular basis from different key positions in Israel first from Jerusalem, from the north (Tiberias), the east, from the north-west (Haifa), from the west (Tel Aviv), and the south (Omer & Arad), (Numbers 10:3) this will also help catalyst the Great worldwide Aliyah of Jews to return to Israel at this strategic time, from all the nations where God s Jewish people are scattered, especially from the United States, where over six million Jews still reside. Great Jewish persecution is about to happen worldwide. Also when the nations hear about the Coming Great Revival from Jerusalem, it will be a major reason for Jewish people to return home to Israel. When the coming Gog Magog Arab war comes against Israel, God will use the sounding of the two silver trumpets to help bring His Miracle Victory over Israel. Numbers 10:9; Ezekiel 38 and 39 As I mentioned earlier, God may now be using the same biblical pattern for the World wide movement of God s Army camp of believers in Yeshua, as God first used for the movement of the Hebrew camp in the Sinai; so believers from every world tribe and nation will now begin to advance towards Jerusalem, with everyone moving into their delegated order and alignment. Yeshua has now positioned Himself in Jerusalem, the Center position, Reigning from the restored Tent of David (Amos 9:11-14 and Isaiah 16:5). He is now drawing His Army Camp from the many world tribes and nations back to Himself, and to His soon return to Jerusalem with His Bride (& all His armies) from Heaven. Two silver trumpets being sounded regularly from Jerusalem, are being used for the Movement of God s World Army Camp! 40

41 Movement of the Hebrew camp in Sinai followed a pattern: On the east side, toward the rising of the sun, those of the standard of the forces with Judah (Praise) (Numbers 2:3) Judah (Praise) was always the first to advance with the other two tribes on the east (Today the East is the Orient: China, Indonesia, Taiwan, South Korea, etc ) Next the priests with the Gershon and Merari Levites, would advance, carrying everything needed to set up the Tabernacle, except the Ark of the Covenant; and have everything ready for the Ark of the Covenant to be brought in Today this means having prayer, intercession & high praise and worship in perfect position (at the Center) for the time when the Ark (the Great Outpouring of God s Spirit [the Great World Revival]) comes to the Center; And today this Center Position is Jerusalem! Then the three tribes on the South would move out next. (Today the South would represent the many countries of Africa ) Then the Kohathite Levites would carry the Ark of God to the next place. (This means that God s Presence will then pour down on Jerusalem and Israel with the Outpouring of God s Spirit for the Great Harvest!), but only after God s Presence has first come to the tribes in the South: Africa, etc! [Joel 2:28-32; Amos 9:11-14; the Hinnom Valley : Jeremiah 31:40; 32:34-42] This all happens at the end of the coming Middle East War, after Russia, Iran and many Arab nations invade Israel, in Ezekiel 38 and 39 (see specifically Ezekiel 39:29). The result of Israel s miraculous Victory by God in this War will also trigger the most horrible wave of world wide anti-semitism against Jewish people, causing the greatest Aliyah ever to pour in from the West to Israel like never before, especially from the more than six million Jews still living in the United States, and also the Jews from all the other nations where they have been scattered throughout the earth. 41

42 Notice this will cause the three tribes on the West, especially American Jews, to move quickly back to Israel, especially when they hear of Jerusalem s Revival. Ezekiel 39:25; Hosea 11:10, 11 And last, the tribes on the North will follow You can see from this Sinai pattern, that if God is repeating this same pattern today, that when the Wave of God s Spirit arises over nations in Africa, then we will know for almost certainly that this Great Outpouring of God s Spirit will be coming next to the City of the Great King, Jerusalem, and to God s land of Israel. Reports of Revival from South Africa and Egypt have been heard. Today, God is directing the world wide Body of believers towards the Center, towards Zion & Jerusalem, the Throne of the LORD, and to our Lord Yeshua s soon return from Heaven, coming with His Beloved Wife (His Bride)! [Numbers 2:1-34; Numbers 10:13-28; Jeremiah 3:17; Ezekiel 43:7; Zechariah 9:14] As the two silver trumpets are being sounded on city, regional, and national levels for the calling & the uniting of His Body from every tribe and nation of the world as the two silver trumpets are sounded on a regular basis by God s priests from this Center position of Jerusalem, I believe that we will see an accelerated world wide move of God s Spirit with even greater Victories in battle, in both the uniting of God s Army Camp, and also in the forward movement of God s Army into greater fields of Harvest. For the plans and purposes of our Lord Yeshua are on the Advance, as the Lord shakes the earth, and moves His Army forward, taking new territory as He moves towards His soon Coming to Jerusalem!

43 My early experiences with my Bridegroom King, 1973 & 1982 I am Jewish. All my four grandparents were Russian Jews. Both of my parents were born in Chicago; but neither believed in God. I never looked at a Bible until I was 29. Then in the spring of 1973, I took a Gideon Bible from a hospital room in St John s hospital in Santa Monica, CA, & brought it home to read. I began reading from Genesis, when suddenly a passage of Scripture came Alive off the page & into my heart with unbelievable Love, as if God was speaking directly to me from Heaven. This experience of the Living Scripture passages coming Alive with Love from Heaven, as if God was personally speaking to me continued every day, and went on for the next three months, as I read the whole Old Covenant. The Scripture passages that came Alive were those which all talked about our promised Jewish Messiah. Those three months were like living in Paradise, they were so Wonderful! Later during that time I read the first four books of the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And then I knew that Jesus is the Messiah, the One whom the Old Covenant Scripture prophesies were talking about, & that He was also the One who was making these Scriptures come Alive for me from Heaven. And then God audibly spoke three Words into me, and at the same moment He planted those three Words from John 21:17 of the New Covenant deep into my heart with His divine Love; Living Words that would truly change my life forever, as Jesus spoke, Feed My Sheep! Shortly after those experiences I was tricked by hell, and fell, and entered deep into the demonic worlds of drugs, occult, and great spiritual darkness, of terror and captivity. And there I lived in that internal hell, as a prisoner, and for the next nine years, as I suffered constant torments from invisible demonic beings. I never thought that I would ever escape out of that torture. And then in 1982, nine years later, on April 10 th, on the Feast of First Fruits of barley, during the Passover season, I drove out to the southern CA desert above Palm Desert. And as I cried out to God for help, I was suddenly being lifted up into Heaven. As I was being lifted up, I was shown a vision of a Man dying on a tree, and was aware that whoever was lifting me up, was aware and empathizing with my great suffering. And moments later I found myself in Heaven, standing about 12 feet away from the King of Heaven! [Who is this King of Glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of Glory! Psalm 24:10] Standing before me was Yeshua, the King of Glory! He was like the Sun blazing, blazing in its full Glory! I could not see any of His face or His body features because of His Glory, which came from His whole being. But I could see that He wore a very simple golden crown. Revelation 1:16 43

44 He walked over to me and lovingly placed a red crimson robe around my shoulders. He never spoke a word. Moments later I found myself back down in the desert. I knew that I had just been delivered and healed by my Savior, & brought out from those 9 hellish years in the drug & occult worlds. Shortly after that experience God directed me to start writing my first book for Him on the Messiah, using only the Old Covenant Scriptures which He had made come Alive off the pages of the Bible with His divine Love nine years prior. This first book took me the next 10 years to write, a book which announced the coming of the Wonderful King of Heaven, my King of Glory! This book was called, The Coming Messiah, The Son of David! It was self published in It quickly sold out, and it has never been republished. During that same season God also taught me to blow two kudu horn shofars at the same time, to announce the Coming of our Lord throughout U.S.A. & Israel. I opened many national & regional Conferences with those 2 shofars. In 1995 I went to Israel, and soon after became an Israeli citizen. Here I have written and published many more books to announce from Jerusalem to the nations the soon coming of Yeshua, our King and Great High Priest. I live in Jerusalem with my wife Faith (Feryl) Christine, who was born in Alaska. We met at Mount Zion Fellowship in Jerusalem in We were married in We are both writers for God, for the Salvation of Israel. Here we live happily together, because of our God s daily help.
