Is the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) simply a Jewish tradition, or does it reveal the return of the Messiah?

In this episode, Joseph Dumond and Ryan Nall explore the prophetic significance of Leviticus 23 and Numbers 29, showing how the Fall Holy Days point directly to the second coming of Yeshua. They discuss why understanding the biblical festivals is essential for understanding the Messiah—and why missing these appointed times can cause believers to overlook some of the Bible’s most profound prophetic truths.

The conversation then turns to one of the most debated topics in Torah observance: How do you determine the first day of the seventh month? Was the biblical calendar based on the visible crescent moon, or should believers follow the fixed Hillel calendar used throughout much of Judaism today?

Joseph explains:

  • Why every biblical feast centers on the Messiah.
  • How Passover foreshadowed Yeshua’s first coming—and why Yom Teruah foreshadows His return.
  • The connection between the Feast of Trumpets, the Ten Days of Awe, and Yom Kippur.
  • The meaning of repentance (teshuvah) and returning (shuv).
  • The history of the Hillel calendar and why it was created during the Jewish diaspora.
  • The development of the postponement rules (deḥiyyot) and how the calendar evolved over centuries.
  • Why the Karaites continued observing the visible crescent moon while Rabbinic Judaism adopted a calculated calendar.
  • Why this calendar debate matters for anyone seeking to observe God’s appointed times according to Scripture.
