The Hidden Feast: Yom Teruah, the New Moon, Hannah's Prayer, and the Return of the King

This episode explores Yom Teruah (aka the Day of the Blowing of Trumpets) as the only feast in the biblical calendar given no explanation, the only feast that begins on the New Moon when the moon is dark and hidden, and the only feast whose arrival literally could not be known in advance. Drawing from Leviticus 23, Matthew 24:36, 1 Samuel 1–2, and the ancient two-witness system for declaring the new month, this teaching reveals why Yom Teruah is the most prophetically loaded day of the biblical calendar year and what it means for the return of Yeshua. The episode also explores Hannah's silent prayer as the Haftarah key to the feast's theology and unpacks the Ten Days of Awe that Yom Teruah opens.
