Rosh Hashana -Terua day when shofar sounds are Sighing & Sobbing
Sounds correspond with the 3 Woes of Revelation in Trumps 5, 6. & 7
Yom Kippur is Day of the Tekiya when Shofar Sounds are Exultant Joy
Having passed through the sighing & sobbing but escaping His Wrath
This Shofar Sound Corresponds with sounding of Revelation Trump 7
Which is the last trump and the time of the saints first Resurrection
And the judgment of the saints in heaven occurs for their Works
The Succot Shofar sound is one of great Messiah Celebration
When the Messiah returns with his saints to rule and Reign
Living with His saints for a thousand years on the Earth
Followed by creation of a new heaven and new Earth

ONCE AGAIN WE ARE IN HOLY FEAST TIMES ENDING WITH THE FEAST OF SUCCOT (TABERNACLES)
THE SIGHING AND SOBBING BEGINS ON THE TERUA SHOFAR
Revelation 8:13 to 9:1 – And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet
to sound! [1] And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
SIGHING AND SOBBING CONTINUES ON THE TERUA SHOFAR
Revelation 9:12-15 – One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
[13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, [14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. [15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
EXULTANT JOY IS FELT BY SAVED CAUGHT OUT ON TEKIYA SHOFAR
Revelation 11:14,15 – The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. [15] And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,
and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and
ever.
SAVED ALL JUDGED FOR REWARDS IN HEAVEN DURING GOD’S WRATH
Revelation 11:18 – And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest DESTROY THEM WHICH DESTROY THE EARTH.
MESSIAH RETURNS TO EARTH WITH SAINTS TO REIGN 1000 YEARS
Jude 1:14,15 – And Enoch also the seventh from Adam PROPHESIED OF THESE, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
AND A THOUSAND YEARS OF ANNUAL SUCCOT BEGINS ON EARTH
Zechariah 14:16 – And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
AND GOD THEIR KING WILL LIVE AMONG THEM IN JERUSALEM
Zechariah 14:8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
Isaiah 9:6,7 – For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 2:1-5 – The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. [2] And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. [3] And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. [4] And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [5] O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light
of the Lord.

Succot: The full circle
By SHLOMO RISKIN

The true mission of the Sanctuary – or succa – is to re-create and perfect the earth.
The three major festivals at this time of year – Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Succot – are filled with drama and pageantry; with the piercing sounds of the shofar and the pleasant fragrances of fruits, with the stark white of the Days of Awe and the glorious yellows and greens of the four species on Succot.
The season begins with the first day of the month which is Rosh Hashana, the anniversary of the creation of the world. The Bible describes it as a “day of the terua [broken sighing and sobbing sounds] of the shofar unto you” (Numbers 29:1).
Is it not strange that the Bible marks our remembrance of creation – world and light – with sounds from a ram’s horn reminiscent of groans and wails? I suggest that the Bible is acknowledging the fact that our world is a vale of tears, that human beings are weak and sinful, and live in the shadow of inevitable death.
But there is another sound of the shofar – the exultant tekiya, which the Bible ordains is to be heard on Yom Kippur (10 Tishrei) on the 50th Jubilee year, during the celebration which marks the return of every individual to his familial homestead, frees all slaves and rescinds all debts, declaring liberty throughout the Land (Leviticus 25:8-13).
This victorious sound reflects the fundamental message of Judaism, the fact that the human being is not only formed from the dust of the earth but has also been “inspirited” by the eternal breath of the Divine. The Jubilee year expresses our faith – which is a divine promise – that human beings have the innate power to redeem themselves and the world, to re-create both in the kingship of God and to bring about a perfected planet of peace and security which our prophets call the Messianic Age.
What we must do, however, is to develop the God rather than the beast within us by studying and practicing the teachings of God’s Torah. And because we believe that the perfection of the world is within our grasp, we add two exultant tekiya sounds to every broken terua when we blow the shofar on Rosh Hashana.
With these sounds we usher in our days of repentance.
Yom Kippur is the Day of Forgiveness. Hopefully by then we shall have successfully reached out to God, and experienced the nearness and goodness of His Presence.
Yom Kippur is the climax of this magnificent feeling. It is not a sad fast day, but a joyous, liberating one; we become freed from the blandishments of food, drink and sexual relationships so that we can fully dwell – for a 25-hour period – in the house of God, “in order to see the sweetness of the Lord and to seek him out in His Tent” (Psalm 27). On Yom Kippur everyone becomes transported to the “world to come,” the world of souls, where the souls of the dead and the souls of the living exist in a totally separate dimension.
With the advent of Succot four days later, we are ready to bring our new-found spirituality into this physical world, to re-create and perfect it. We leave our homes and enter a succa, symbolic of the tabernacle/sanctuary/Holy Temple which we are commanded to build on earth so that the Divine might dwell with humanity. And that Tabernacle is not only the earthly abode for God and Israel, it is a foretaste of a world at peace, a messianic age.
God initially appointed Bezalel as the architect of the Sanctuary. He “filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom, understanding and knowledge” Exodus 31:2-3). In Proverbs (3:19-20) the text describes how the Lord “established the earth with wisdom, set up the heavens with understanding, and split the deep to give forth water and the heavens to gently drop dew with knowledge.”
Hence, the true mission of the Sanctuary – or succa – is to re-create and perfect the earth.
That’s why its architect had to be endowed with the same attributes the Almighty used to create the world.
And so on Succot we bring special vegetation – the Four Species – into the Synagogue/Temple, through whose vegetable roof we can see the stars.
And on the last day of the festival – Shmini Atzeret-Simhat Torah – we pray for God’s life-giving waters and take Torah scrolls out into the streets so that every human being may accept the yoke of the heavenly kingship. So we have come full circle advancing from the broken terua to the glorious redemption of the world.
