The Coronation of the Messiah

The sixth and final idiom is the Coronation of the Messiah. He is already King, but there is an order in which he will be crowned before all of us.

Psalms 98:4-9 sets the scene: "Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth! Break forth in song, rejoice and sing praises. Sing to the Lord with the harp and the sound of a psalm, with trumpets and the sound of a horn — shout joyfully before the Lord, the King! Let the sea roar, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell in it. Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills be joyful together before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness he shall judge the world and the peoples with equity."

Then comes the decree, as recorded in Daniel 7 and Psalms 2. The Father gives the decree for the saints to inherit the Kingdom. Psalms 2:6-9 declares: "Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to me, 'You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.'" He has set his King on his holy mount of Zion. He declares the decree. He says, "You are my Son — ask of me, and I will give you the nations." That is what will occur on the Feast of Trumpets.

Some believers imagine this will be instantaneous and peaceful — but this is a war. A literal war. Yeshua comes down with the sickle of fire and the sickle of the sword upon his enemies. That is why his garments are sprinkled in blood in Isaiah 63. He wars and gains the victory, and then he is given the decree and crowned. He comes to redeem the nation of Israel on Yom Kippur — the Day of Atonement.

Genesis 49:10 promises: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes — and to him shall be the obedience of the people." Hebrews 1:8 completes it, the Father speaking to the Son: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom."

The kingdom of Judah — just as Genesis says, he loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. What does lawlessness mean? Torah-lessness. If "law" is the translation of Torah in English, then in your English Bible when you see "lawlessness," the text is telling you Torah-lessness. You cannot have it both ways: if law is Torah, then lawlessness is Torah-lessness. Therefore, God your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions.

This leads us into the ceremony of taking the throne, found in Revelation 4:1–11. I encourage you to read that passage, and I will read it here as well:

*"After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, 'Come up here, and I will show you things which must soon take place.' After this I was immediately in the Spirit, and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. He who sat there was like a jasper and sardius stone in appearance, and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes. The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!' Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 'You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.'"*

This is a remarkable passage. It describes what will occur on the Feast of Trumpets — the ceremony of taking the throne, as recorded in Revelation 4:1–11.

Then comes the acclamation — the people's pledge of allegiance — found in Psalm 47. I personally believe we will be singing this Psalm as He is crowned:

*"Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. He will subdue the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet. He will choose our inheritance for us, the excellence of Jacob whom He loves. God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with understanding. God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne. The princes of the people have gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted."*

That is what it is all about. The King is returning on the Feast of Trumpets — on Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the Day of the Lord, the beginning of a new seven-year cycle. It will be a beautiful thing. And it all begins with understanding God's calendar: understanding His feast days, and understanding that both the calendar and the feasts align together as divine appointments — for His believers to worship Him, and for our understanding of when He will return. He returns on His divine appointments, and it is all laid out in the Scriptures for us.

I know this has been a long session tonight. We had to go through the new moon, Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets, and all of the beautiful things contained in them. I hope this has been encouraging and informative. There is a great deal of information, but the only way through it is to press in and get through it together. The more we come around to these things year after year, the more familiar and even routine they become. If this is your first time — welcome. This is an amazing event; this is the Lord's divine appointment. If you have been with us before and have observed the feast days, then you know what I am talking about. We add layers year upon year. It took me years to understand some of these things, so I want to encourage you: it is okay to work your way through this. We were not taught these things growing up. If you are a Gentile believer, you will almost certainly not have heard about the Feast of Trumpets in church, because most assume it is "Jewish" — when in fact it is about God, and about Yeshua, more than anything else.

Understanding the time of our visitation is paramount. From one believer to another, please dive into these things — on your own, with the Lord, and with the Scriptures. Understand the calendar. These things are so important, so that we are not found unaware, as the Jewish people were when the Messiah came and said what He did in Luke 19:41–44.

Thank you all very much. I know it has been nearly three hours, but there are still people online and I will go through some of the comments for those who want to stay with us.

Happy Feast of Trumpets to you. Happy Rosh Hashanah. Happy New Moon. Dive into the beautiful anointing of the month that we discovered at the beginning of this video. Pray into these scriptures about the Feast of Trumpets and settle in with the Lord on His divine appointments. We have entered a beautiful season: Trumpets now, then ten days later Yom Kippur — the Day of Atonement — and five days after that, the Feast of Tabernacles for eight days. The next twenty-one days are going to be very, very incredible for all of us. Let us all pray into those and receive the revelation God has for us.
