I think that fairly describes what the Jewish New Year is really about. The Jewish people just don’t realize it yet! YHVH God’s redemptive plan for Israel and for the whole Earth looks forward to the repentance of Israel from all her sins against the God who chose her and the land for His inheritance, and the national day of Israel’s sins being forgiven, as prophesied by Zechariah in chap. 12. Israel will be re-born as a people and nation — just as individual Jews and also Gentiles are re-born now. Truly that will be a ‘new year’ to be forever celebrated with a new song of the one whom they still despise and reject, but whom the full remnant from all the tribes (‘all Israel’) will come to love with all their hearts, souls, mind, and strength. There is good reason to hope with anticipation that this great day will occur during the lifetime of some of us reading this! But whether we be dead or alive, the voice of the Son of God will sound forth — or, perhaps, shout out like the blast of the shofar — “COME UP!” (or whatever He wants to say 🙂 ). And those who hear that voice of our great Shepherd, will enjoy ruling and reigning with Him over His beloved Israel and the other sheep nations He has rewarded for their righteous deeds done to Him through their love for least of His brethren. (Mt 25:31-40)
