Title: Preparing for the Trumpet: Consecration & Spiritual Readiness | For Zion's Sake

Description: Hosts Shelley and June Volk return to discuss the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) and its prophetic weight for all believers. Continuing their look at the first sounding of the trumpet in Exodus 19 at Mount Sinai, they unpack the central theme of spiritual readiness. Central to this preparation is understanding the Hebrew word kun—meaning to be ready, established, or directed. Shelley and June highlight how true readiness requires initial consecration, setting oneself apart for God’s purposes, and removing subtle forms of idolatry. Through passages in Chronicles, Psalms, and Proverbs, they encourage listeners to cultivate a posture of true worship and allow God to direct their paths as they prepare for the final trumpet blast.

Key Takeaways:


Consecration Before Readiness: True preparation cannot happen without consecration—setting one's heart and life completely apart for God's divine purposes rather than selfish desires.


Understanding Kun: The Hebrew concept of kun appears throughout Scripture to describe hearts, ways, and houses being "set in order," "established," and "directed" by God.


Worship Beyond Song: Genuine worship goes far deeper than singing; it reflects an inner attitude of heart-bowing, surrender, and obedience, as demonstrated by Abraham on Mount Moriah.


Uncovering Hidden Idolatry: Idolatry isn't always obvious; it can quietly creep in whenever standard practices, personal preferences, or loved ones take priority over simple obedience to Messiah.
