If you are among those who believe Yeshua (Jesus) fulfilled the reality of this day, please tell me how. What did the shadow point to and what was the reality casting the shadow? For example, we know the shadow of the Passover lamb with its blood put upon the doorposts saved the firstborns from death and that the realty is Yeshua the Messiah, the true Passover Lamb whose blood will protect us from death. Had Yeshua not died as the fulfillment of the Passover lamb, we would still be sacrificing Passover lambs. That is because a shadow cannot cease until the reality comes.
Paul said concerning Passover..."Let us observe the feast" (Passover) This is in the singular. It is the Lord's table. The feast of the Lord (YHVH). But there are no other feasts to be commemorated by His followers...at least we are not encouraged (or discouraged) to do so. So then Passover is unique that way.
As I understand it, the shadow of Yom Teruah has not been fulfilled and therefore, we still live under its shadow awaiting the coming reality. Only when the day is fulfilled can the observance of it cease. If we no longer need to observe this day, then what is the reality (fulfillment) of Yom Teruah?
The whole tenor of the bible is to prepare us for Yom Teruah. People like to turn things into religious observances. Not for followers of Jesus. That time is past. We are to be sober minded. There is a great danger in speculation. No one knows the day or hour. So then our celebration of that time is ....a constant watching and praying. This is for real. And that is the best way to observe the coming trumpet. No one will see it coming. To many the day will come as a thief in the night. So then, in a sense, every day since Pentecost is Yom Teruah! It is time to repent.
In Revelation the trumpet marks an act of God...not the beginning of a time of warning. We have been warned and are continually being warned...but many sleep nonetheless. If we wait to hear the trumpet...it will be too late. So then we are to heed the call to repentance...now!
Be zealous therefore and repent for no man knows the hour...Be ready.
