Yom Teruah is more than the sounding of a trumpet - it is a Kingdom alarm that demands a response.

In this live Zoom teaching, Dr. Kenny Russell examines the biblical meaning of teruah and the urgent call behind the sound. Throughout Scripture, the trumpet communicated that it was time to awaken, assemble, prepare for battle, or move into an appointed position.

The King is calling His people into position.

But how do we identify our position within the purposes of the Kingdom?

Our focus cannot remain centered upon ourselves—our needs, our personal advancement, or even our individual spiritual growth. These things have their place, but the Gospel of the Kingdom calls us into something greater than ourselves.

The spring feasts establish the foundation of redemption and our personal response to the work of YeHoVaH. As we enter the fall feasts, however, our attention is drawn towards the corporate and national calling of Israel.

Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot reveal YeHoVaH’s dealings with His covenant people and His unfolding purpose for Israel and the nations.

What does it truly mean to be Israel?

Israel was called to be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, and a light to the nations. We have not been called merely to receive personal blessing - we have been called to serve the greater purposes of the King.

The sound of teruah asks us:

Where is the King calling us to stand?

What is our Kingdom assignment?

Are we serving His purpose or remaining focused upon ourselves?

Are we proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom?

The alarm is sounding in Zion.

Awaken. Assemble. Repent. Prepare. Take your position. The King is coming.
