Significance of Rosh Hashanah to Christians

The Jewish new year starts in few hours from this post. They don't follow the Roman calendar of January-December. Today is their first day of the year. They call it Rosh Hashanah, literally meaning the "head [of] the year". The biblical name for this holiday is Yom Teruah, literally "day of shouting or blasting". It is the first of the Jewish High Holy Days.

Christians don't celebrate these days in their literal form. We have the tangibility of these days in Christ. Those days, however point to some dimensions in Christ that you should pay attention to. So, what does God want us to pay attention to as the Jews celebrate Rosh Hashanah?

The day is also know as feast of trumpet. They blow the shofar and Jews gather for a time to reflect on their lives. Rosh Hashanah signifies a day to repent and remember God's judgment. Shofar, Repent, Judgment. There will be a final shofar not blown from the middle East, but from the heavens. Very soon. That shofar will not give room for repent, but judgment.

Rosh Hashanah also prepares the Jews for the feast of Tabernacles (starts October 13) and that is the feast that is currently being fulfilled in the Church today. It's denoted by ingathering (forming of the of fruits of the Spirit) and harvest (making disciples of all nations or preaching the gospel of the kingdom) and this is what will round up the age.

So, what should you do? Reflect on yourself. How aligned are you with God's instructions to you? How obedient have you been? Is Jesus your savior alone and not Lord? Jews would greet themselves today with "Shana Tova" which means "May your name be in the book of life".

Oranmiyan (Part 3: Origin of Yoruba)

Our journey will begin by identifying who the Yoruba people are. From the stories and relics of the children of the tribe, it is obvious that the projenitors of the tribe were deeply rooted in sorcery. Especially those who constitute the royal families. Their blood lines is soaked in idolatry, divination and sorcery. They know how to access principalities and powers and learn their worship modes. There are many stories about the origin of the Yoruba race. The Yoruba race has two major stories about their origin. One is supernatural. The other is natural The supernatural or divine one said that the supreme being, God, sent a god- Obatala to come and create the earth, but he got drunk and God had to send another god- Oduduwa. This is what some people hold. This school of thought has several loopholes chief of which is that Oduduwa entered Ile Ife in 11AD, but Ife Arts, according to carbon dating goes way back as 500BC which means that there was life in Ile Ife before Oduduwa came in.

Oranmiyan (Part 4: Lamurudu vs Oduduwa)

After being forced out of his land, Lamurudu settled in Egypt for some time where he deepened his knowledge in sorcery. He learned several patterns of rituals which still exists in some parts of Ijebu today. At that time, the Egyptians have developed so well in the worship of their gods who were originally men. The concept of gods begins with a man encountering a demonic prince who is looking for obeisance from men. These princes have the same goal as Lucifer. Once they begin to get attention from a man, the man begins to take up their (dark) nature because it is a law in the spirit realm that whatever you behold, you become. The consecration of these men to the worship of the princes led to the reproduction of the abilities and characteristics of the prince in the man, so the man becomes great among other men. Most of these men takes up the name of the prince that they worship such that when the man dies, you can keep calling his name and the prince responds to your request thereby es

Oranmiyan (Part 5: The gods of Egypt)

During the sojourn of Lamurudu in Egypt, what was going on in Egypt at that time was similar to what happened in Genesis 6:1-2 where demonic entities found a way to reproduce themselves in women to establish a race of beings that were not fully humans. These creatures were very big that they were called Giants. They had 6 fingers and toes and unusual strength. Bible refer to them as Nephilims which means mysterious beings who are large and strong. Some other meanings called them fallen ones. They had supernatural abilities and they preyed on full humans. The situation was like what was portrayed in Harry Potter that had pure bloods, half bloods, mud bloods and muggles. The pure bloods were the witches whose both parents are also witches, half blood is a witch with one parent as witch, mud blood has both parents as normal people and muggles are non witches. At that time in Genesis 6, the Nephilims had created another race on earth that paralleled the pure humans. This what why God sent
