Verse: Luke 24:31-33 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their
sight. They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while
he opened to us the Scriptures?" ESV
There are many scenarios that look at the end days and the second coming of Jesus, some have merit
and some do not. I am not here to comment, endorse or condemn any of these insights.
At the time of history just before the birth of Jesus, our messiah, the teachers and scholars of the Torah
were engaged in just that sort of guessing and second guessing. When the Messiah arriver not only did
they miss the event of the actual birth (even though Bethlehem was about 10 miles from the Temple in
Jerusalem), they also missed him 12 years later when he was in the outer courts of the Temple after He
stayed back from Mary and Joseph, His human parents (Luke 2:41-52). Jesus was talking with the very
scholars who were looking for Him and they missed Him. The warning I get from these events are that
we can easily be distracted by events and ideas and miss the communication of Yom Teruah in the
pattern of our redemption.
Yom Teruah is the next feast to find its complete fulfillment in the timeline of history. But just like
Passover, this day has revelation and relevance in many places and seasons for Israel, the nations, and
individuals.
The first Passover freed Israel from Egyptian bondage and the Passover sacrifice of Messiah Jesus freed
all of mankind from the bondage of sin and separation from YHWH. Sins forgiven, slaves set free. Each
one of us as believers has experienced our own Passover when we accepted the truth of our redemption
in Christ and entered into the renewed covenant.
So it is with the Teruah. There have been Teruah-type events at various times recorded in history and in
the Scripture. We also have or will experience Teruah awakenings, warnings, and calls to strategies and
warfare from season to season. This does not deny that there will be a grand and cataclysmic Teruah
coming in the future. As far as I can see, there is no reason it could not come this very year, but that is not up to me to decide.
For now, let’s look at the Teruah events in the Scriptures to get a clearer picture of what the day may bring.
Teruah in Scripture.
Below is a list of the 36 times that the Hebrew word “Teruah” appears in the Old Testament. I encourage
you to take some time and check out the context of the verses sited below.
