Yochanan (John) hears a voice that sounds like a trumpet and he is “instantly in the Spirit.” This is an allusion to the ‘blink of an eye’ at the last shofar blast, when the transformation from flesh bodies to spirit bodies takes place in a ‘moment’ at the first resurrection. The Hebrew word for ‘moment’ is rega and means ‘just a moment, wait.’ The prophet Isaiah reveals more about the ‘blink of an eye.’

The National Day of Prayer – Yom Kippur
Like Isra’el, the America has gone astray. God’s commandments have been abandoned by those who should be a light to the world. Pagan gods are worshiped in the ‘name of Jesus’ creating a lukewarm religious culture.

Yom Kippur Confession of Sins – Kedushah
The following confession of sins is from the Kedushah, Ashamnoo, Al Chet in the Sidur or Jewish Prayer book. This ‘confession of sins’ is read ten times in the synagogue on Yom Kippur. At the end, there is a statement that the Jewish people have no King except yod-hey-vav-hey to forgive and pardon their sins, and they seek Him for their atonement. On the Day of Atonement the Jewish people are faced with the reality that they have no Temple, no priesthood, and no altar of sacrifice, no atonement, no salvation (yeshua). On the Day of Atonement, we who believe in Yeshua, should be fasting and praying for the nation of Israel and their corporate salvation and final redemption through the High Priest of Adonai, Yeshua.
