Title: The Day of the Lord & The Feast of Trumpets: Preparation for the End Times | For Zion's Sake

Description: In this episode of For Zion's Sake, hosts Shelley and June Volk examine the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) and its profound connection to end-time prophecy. They walk through the Prophetic Scriptures to reveal what the Old Testament teaches about the "Day of the Lord." Rather than a lighthearted event, the prophets describe this upcoming era as a time of darkness, tribulation, and divine judgment that ultimately paves the way for the Messiah's return, the redemption of Israel, and the establishment of the Kingdom of God. Shelley and June urge believers from all backgrounds to anchor themselves in the Word, seek an intimate walk with the Lord, and yield their lives fully in preparation for what lies ahead.

Key Takeaways:


Feasts as an Inheritance: The appointed times of the Lord listed in Leviticus 23 are not exclusively for the Jewish people; Gentile believers are invited to share in this inheritance to gain a deeper understanding of Christ’s fulfillment.


Rosh Hashanah's Historic Roots: According to Jewish tradition, Rosh Hashanah marks the day of Creation, the conception of Isaac, and Abraham offering Isaac on Mount Moriah—a vivid foreshadowing of Calvary.


The Reality of the Day of the Lord: Old Testament prophets like Amos, Zephaniah, and Isaiah describe the Day of the Lord not as an immediate escape, but as a severe period of darkness, distress, and purification.


The Path to Glory: True redemption follows a biblical pattern: difficulty precedes glory, and the crown of thorns comes before the crown of glory. Believers are called to yield their wills completely to Christ to stand firm through these end days.
