The Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) - The Return of the King

**40 days and 40 nights, the rain has been pouring.** The windows of heaven open, the angels' tears are falling. Flood waters have risen, leading me into your rock. Lord, I pray you shut me in. I know I have grieved your heart, Lord — my sin was great, but your love is even greater. Your blood washes me clean. You are my great Redeemer. Fill me with your spirit like the depths of the sea. Cover me with your ark for eternity.

The fountains of the deep have opened. The waters are prevailing. The mountains are covered. All of the past is washed away. I am protected by your ark.

A wind passed over the earth. The windows of heaven closed. The angels' tears are dry. A rainbow passed above; a dove passed by the ark with an olive branch of peace. God's love through his Son — his ark of amazing grace.

Amazing grace. The fountains of the deep prevailing, the mountains are covered, all of the past washed away. I am protected by your ark, by your ark.

Lord, you rescued me from the flood of my day. You are a promise keeper, holy in all your ways. Your book is written of me — it is finished and will be done. So when I see you, you will say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

The fountains of the deep opening. The waters are prevailing. The mountains are covered. All of the past is washed away. The fountains of the deep prevailing, the mountains are covered, all of the past is washed away. Cleansed by your heart.

Lord, thank you for saving me — lost to found. Move me along the flood waters to higher ground. Lord, you have got me in your ark so I do not lose my crown. Forever I will rest in your ark, safe and sound. Forever I rest in your ark, safe and sound. Safe and sound. Safe and sound.

Shalom, everybody. my name is Chadwick Harvey, and you have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you very much for joining us today as we celebrate Yom Teruah, or the Feast of Trumpets as it is known in English. It is a beautiful festival — and it is the next festival on the calendar yet to be fulfilled. The Feast of Trumpets gives us great revelation about the second coming event, and so I am very glad you are here.

Before we begin, I would like to offer our prayers and thoughts to everyone in the Southeast who has been affected by Hurricane Helene. We all know the devastation it has caused in Florida, south Georgia, the Carolinas, and beyond. Our hearts and prayers are with all of those people. I am from that area, as most of you know, and we are okay — our family is safe, praise the Lord. All of our friends and their families are safe as well, as far as we know. We offer our condolences to those who have lost family members during this horrific storm. As you can see, I am not in my normal place at home, because we still do not have electricity, as is the case for most of the region. I had to come to a hotel to record this video and celebrate the Feast of Trumpets today. Thank you so much for your prayers and well wishes. God is great — he has protected the family and friends — but there are many people out there who are hurting, who have lost houses, cars, and everything. We want to keep that in perspective. Our prayers and thoughts are with everyone who has been affected.

We come today, nonetheless, to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets, which is commanded in the Scriptures. It is a very tumultuous time in the world, as we all know — with wars, famines, plagues, and everything happening in America as well. Yet we still have the opportunity to celebrate this beautiful feast day of the Lord. The Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah — if you are not accustomed to this feast day, we will go through it thoroughly to show you how important it is to observe, and to share both the personal and prophetic revelation this festival holds for all of us.

Most of you know how significant this day is. The return of the Messiah — the return of the King — will be on Tishri 1, which is established in Leviticus 23. We will go through that together. If you are already familiar with it, this will give you further confirmation. If you are not familiar with it, it will give you a paradigm shift like you have never experienced before. To be on God's calendar, to understand his divine appointments and his feast days — this will change your life forever. The Feast of Trumpets is one of those pivotal feast days, and so we will jump into it.

There is, of course, much going on in the world that we could address — the Middle East, wars and rumors of wars, port strikes, and everything happening in America — but we will save that for another video. Today we will focus solely on the Feast of Trumpets and the celebration of the King's return, which is drawing very near.

Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets, is also called Rosh Hashanah by some — the head of the civil year. Some also refer to Nisan 1 as Rosh Hashanah, which is the beginning of the biblical calendar, as we have discussed many times before. On Elohim's calendar, the Feast of Trumpets is a pivotal divine appointment that Yeshua will fulfill at his second coming. The Feast of Trumpets occurs on the new moon of Tishri — that is, Tishri 1, also called Rosh Hashanah — which is the first month of the civil, or Genesis, calendar, and the seventh month on the spiritual, or Exodus, calendar.

If you are not familiar with that distinction, let me explain it briefly. When Adam was created, he was born on the Feast of Trumpets. In Genesis 1, Adam was born on the Feast of Trumpets, which means the world was created on Elul 25. This is the calendar Adam was on — what I call the Genesis calendar, or the creation calendar, or Adam's calendar. The months on this calendar run from Tishri 1 forward. So Tishri begins this calendar, and the Feast of Trumpets marks its opening — because that is when Adam was created.

When Adam sinned — approximately 30 years after his creation on the Feast of Trumpets — he and Eve were exiled from the Garden of Eden. This is why Yeshua was crucified, buried, resurrected, and ascended in AD 30, and it is why many people look toward his return 2,000 years later, around 2029, during the fall feast days. I am not setting dates — I am simply trying to explain how the calendars work. Adam's calendar, the Genesis calendar, is what he would have been observing back in Genesis 1. Tishri 1 starts this calendar, which is today, the Feast of Trumpets.

When Moses came on the scene, God told him in Exodus 12 to rearrange the order of the months — giving us the biblical calendar. It is the same months, just ordered differently. On this calendar, Tishri becomes the seventh month rather than the first. Nisan becomes the first month, and Passover falls on Nisan 14. Those are the essential differences between the two calendars.

We need the Genesis calendar — Adam's calendar — for counting the years to the Messiah's second coming. The 6,000 years, the six completed days from Adam's sin to the return of the Messiah, are counted from this calendar. That is why it matters. The prophecies of the Holy Bible count time from Adam to Yeshua using the Genesis calendar. Additionally, the Shemita year begins on Tishri 1, and the Year of Jubilee begins on Tishri 10, which is Yom Kippur — which is another reason we must understand how this calendar functions.

The Exodus calendar, which Moses received in Exodus 12, is the biblical calendar that both believers in Yeshua and the Jewish people follow today, because God ordained it — telling Moses to count the new moons from Nisan 1. From this calendar we count the sabbaths, the feast days, and all the appointed times. The two calendars do not negate one another; they work together. It is essential to understand why each exists and what purpose it serves. Tishri is the seventh month on the biblical calendar and the first month on Adam's Genesis calendar — the same months, ordered differently, depending on what the Holy Bible is discussing. I hope that makes sense.

We will begin our journey in the ark of God on Tishri 1, the Feast of Trumpets, because it is the time when the books are opened for ten days and then closed for the year on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Let me put that into perspective. I have been observing this for ten years now, and something happened today that is absolutely phenomenal — and it was not toward me, but toward someone I know who received a good report on the Feast of Trumpets. We had been praying about this situation from last year's Feast of Trumpets through Yom Kippur, and this year, that person received a righteous verdict on the Feast of Trumpets. I got the phone call this morning. This is how it works: the Feast of Trumpets is when the books are opened, and then they are closed on Yom Kippur ten days later. Those ten days in between are when we are weighed in the balance. That is why the constellation for the month of Tishri is Libra — the scales. God uses the heavenly billboard of the constellations, as well as his Scriptures, to confirm all of these beautiful things.

If you are new to this understanding, please take note: the books are opened on the Feast of Trumpets for the nations and for individuals, and then they are closed on Yom Kippur. Every year we are evaluated. As I tell people, we all share the same birthday on the Feast of Trumpets, because everyone is being weighed in the balance from this day through Yom Kippur.

We also had a solar eclipse yesterday, right before Rosh Hashanah — and in some parts of the world it fell on the Feast of Trumpets itself. What you are going to see is a significant realignment among the nations this year. When a solar eclipse falls on the Feast of Trumpets one year, and then another solar eclipse falls on the Feast of Trumpets the following year, that is not a common occurrence. You are going to see massive movement among the nations as a result, and I will give you a couple of examples to illustrate that.
