---Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah)--- Three important stages are described in the spiritual order when the Ten Days of Repentance (the ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur)* begin to unfold: On Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets) God opens the books of judgment of creation and all mankind starting from each individual person, and in those books it is first written what will be decreed, hence the emphasis on the ketiva (writing). The judgement is then pending and prayers and repentance are required. Then on Yom Kippur (Atonement), the judgment is sealed or confirmed (i.e. by the Heavenly Court), hence the emphasis is on the word chatima (sealed). But the Heavenly verdict is still not final because there is still an additional chance and positive expectation that until Sukkot concludes there is hope that God will deliver a final good and favorable judgment, hence the use of gmar (end) that is tov (good). That above is meant until the --appointed time-- (Genesis 1:14) for then, Luke 21:22 will come into effect. (cf. Hosea 6:2 & Revelations 1:8) No one is to know the day and the hour but the Father,.... -but the signs of the time- are to be revealed to Believers (cf. Matthew 16:3 & 1 Thessalonians 5:4-5) *Notice graphic picture (in post below) See the: --Fall Feast: 2nd Wheat & Grapes-- (cf. Matthew 24:20) God bless
