We have gone back into the archives to bring you this Teaching Letter about this time of Elul, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and The Feast of Tabernacles. We have so much to talk to you about this Month, so let’s get started! Upon you receiving this Month’s Teaching Letter, we will be in the midst of a VERY IMPORTANT HOLIDAY ON GOD’S CALENDAR! And not only are we right in the middle of an IMPORTANT HOLIDAY, WE ARE MOVING INTO TWO OTHER CELEBRATIONS THAT ARE EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT TO THE BODY OF CHRIST! Elul, Rosh Hashanah (The Day of Remembrance or The Day of Sounding The Shofar or The Feast of Trumpets) and Yom Kippur or The Day of Atonement. Elul begins the forty (40) Days or Teshuvah. Teshuvah or Repentance begins with the season of Elul and then into Rosh Hashanah and then into The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. Let’s begin with the God Holiday that we are in the midst of right now as you read this.
“Elul”

We are now in the season of “Elul.” Elul means “to search” and “to repent,” it is also known as “the month of repentance”, “the month of mercy”, and “the month of forgiveness.” The letters of E-l-u-l can be understood as an acronym for the Hebrew verse Ani L'dodi V'dodi Li--"I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine." (Song of Songs 6:3) During this time of year we are to reflect on what we have done wrong in the year and ask God to forgive us. We are also to search ourselves and make decisions to do the sometimes difficult act of granting forgiveness to others and asking for forgiveness from others also.
Elul is the time when one searches one’s heart and draws close to God preparing for the Day of Atonement. It is a time of year when The Bride is conditioning Herself for Her Beloved, God. Elul is the season for The Bride to prepare Herself FOR Her Beloved, it is a time for Bridal Preparation. During Elul it is customary to blow the shofar every morning before sunrise, except on the Sabbaths. The blasts are meant to be a “wake up call” to sleepers and designed to rouse or stir us up from our complacencies and awaken us to the things of God! It is a sound or call to us for repentance! Elul lasts 40 days on our Gregorian or Western calendar that we go by here in the USA. ELUL began at Sunset on 14 August 2026 and will last through Rosh Hashana at Sundown on 11 September 2026.
“Rosh Hashanah”

As we wrote previously, Rosh Hashanah is also known as The Day of Remembrance or The Day of Sounding The Shofar or The Feast of Trumpets and it is found in Leviticus 23:24-25. Rosh Hashanah literally means “the beginning of the year.” Rosh Hashanah is God’s New Year! The Jewish calendar does not start over on this New Year like ours does here in America. Here in our culture we have several “new years” too. We have a new school year that begins in August or September. We have fiscal new years that begin according to established policies. So, as it is on the Jewish calendar, which is based on The Word of God, it is His New Year and it is on Rosh Hashanah.
The ten days starting with Rosh Hashanah and ending with Yom Kippur are known as The Days of Awe, when an even more serious self reflection is to happen by a man or woman of God. It is taught by the Jewish Leaders that God looks at “the books” written of what you have done in the year that has just passed. It is taught that what you have done right or wrong is written. What you gave to charity and what you did not is written. Where you have been disobedient and where you have been obedient is written in these “books” and God is looking at them on your behalf. It is similar to what we know as a “grade card.”
It is also taught that God will decree what is to come for you in the New Year and determine how He is going to bless you. And it is taught that “the books” are sealed on Yom Kippur. On Rosh Hashanah or The Feast of Trumpets many shofars or trumpets are blown. Again, The Days of Awe is an even deeper time for God’s People to repent before Him, ask others for forgiveness and do what God says, or stop doing what He says to stop doing! During these times of repentance, the Jewish Leaders teach us that God will look at our “books” and He could change His decrees of His decisions for our New Year. Our times of self reflection between The Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) and Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement) is crucial, and it always has been. It is just time for us, Church, to know about our privileges and responsibilities. This is a wonderful time of year! It is the assigned time for The Bride of Christ to GET CLEAN before Her God! The Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah is 11 September through 13 September 2026.
“Yom Kippur”

The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur is during 21-22 September 2026. Yom Kippur is the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. It is the day when the High Priest would go into The Holy of Holies (where God’s Presence was) and place blood from an animal sacrifice on the Ark of The Covenant for the sins of the Nation of Israel, God’s Bride. Two goats were chosen and “lots were cast” to see which goat would be the sacrifice and which one would be selected to be the “scapegoat” which would be led outside the city and into the wilderness to be pushed off a cliff to redeem and ransom Israel. Crimson red dyed wool was tied around the horns of the goat in accordance with Isaiah 1:18 (KJV), “. . .though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” The High Priest would place his hand on the scapegoat and confess all the iniquities and sins of the Children of Israel and place those sins on the head of the scapegoat. The High Priest would then take the crimson wool tied around the horns of the scapegoat and divide it in half. He would tie one half back on the goat and the other half was tied on the Temple. Once the scapegoat was pushed off the cliff and made the atonement for Israel, the crimson red wool that was tied at the Temple miraculously turned white!

Jesus was not only The Lamb of God, He was also made to be our Scapegoat! Jesus was led out of the city to a Hill called Golgotha or Calvary, which under the cliff is the indention of a Skull. All of the sin of mankind forever was placed upon Him. For when the blood of animals is brought into the sanctuary by the High Priest as a sacrifice for sin, the victims' bodies are burned outside the limits of the camp.
Hebrews 13:11-13 (AMP), “For when the blood of animals is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin, the victims' bodies are burned outside the limits of the camp. 12 Therefore Jesus also suffered and died outside the [city's] gate in order that He might purify and consecrate the people through [the shedding of] His own blood and set them apart as holy [for God]. 13 Let us then go forth [from all that would prevent us] to Him outside the camp [at Calvary], bearing the contempt and abuse and shame with Him.”
Jesus was our Ransom! Jesus was our Atonement! He became the Goat that was sacrificed and The Scapegoat that all our sins were placed upon! He is The High Priest Who went by Himself in The Holy of Holies in Heaven and He is the Lamb of God! The High Priest would go into the Holy of Holies with blood on behalf of Israel, God’s Bride and Jesus went into The Holy of Holies in Heaven for His Bride! (See Hebrews 9) This truly is amazing! What God has done for us is never ending!
“Feast of Tabernacles”

TWLC Feast of Tabernacles
The Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot which means “booths” or “huts” is on 26 September 2026 through 03 October 2026. There are three major Feasts that are to be celebrated and can be remembered in both the Jewish and Christian communities. These three main Feasts are Passover, Pentecost and The Feast of Tabernacles. This Feast of Tabernacles is also known in The Word of God as The Feast of Booths or Tents (Lev.23:34, Deut.16:13-17, Zech.14:16-19, Ezra 3:4, 2 Chronicles 8:13), The Feast Of Ingathering (Exodus 23:16, Exodus 34:22), The Feast or The Festival (1 Kings 8:2, 1 Kings 12:32, 2 Chronicles 5:3), The Feast Of The Lord (Lev. 23:39, Judges 21:19), The Festival Of The Seventh Month (Nehemiah 8:14) and A Holy Convocation or a Sacred Occasion (Numbers 29:12). See, God did not say these Feasts were for the Hebrew or Jewish people only, they are for His People!
Leviticus 23:2,4 “Say to the Israelites, The set feasts or appointed seasons of the Lord which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, even My set feasts, . . . These are the set feasts or appointed seasons of the Lord, holy convocations you shall proclaim at their stated times:”
Leviticus 23:41 (NASU) "You shall thus celebrate it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.”
Perpetual means continual, everlasting, uninterrupted, eternal, long lasting, forever! God said to celebrate this Feast FOREVER; these are The Lord’s Feasts! If you are saved, you are His People and this Holiday is for you too! Remember, if you are saved, a Jewish Lord lives in you and I now! If He celebrated these Feasts, why wouldn’t we?
Remember some of the names of The Feast of Tabernacles are The Feast of Booths or Tents, The Feast Of Ingathering, The Feast Of The Lord, A Holy Convocation (“Convocation” means = to call together, to assemble, to call), a Sacred Occasion.
1 Corinthians 3:16 (NIV) states, “Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?”
The Living Bible translation states it this way, “Don't you realize that all of you together are the house of God, and that the Spirit of God lives among you in his house?”
Psalm 91:9 (NIV) says, “If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the LORD, who is my refuge--”
“Dwelling” there in the Hebrew is 'ohel (o'-hel); which means a tent, covering, (dwelling) place, home, tabernacle, tent. If you make Him your dwelling, He comes to make His home, tabernacle or tent with you and in you!
1 Corinthians 3:9, says “For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.”
2 Corinthians 5:1 shows us, “Our bodies are like tents that we live in here on earth. But when these tents are destroyed, we know that God will give each of us a place to live. . .”
WE ARE THE TEMPLES. WE ARE THE BOOTHS, THE HOMES, THE TENTS AND TABERNACLES OF GOD NOW! When you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, YOU become the house, home, tabernacle, temple, tent, booth, dwelling place of God.
Now, getting back to the Feast. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 tells us this, “For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet (shofar) call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”
During the Fall Feasts, or Festivals, we spoke earlier of Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is known also in The Word of God as the Day of Remembrance or the Day of Sounding the Shofar found in Leviticus 23:24-25, which is the day of the Jewish New Year. The Feast of Tabernacles is also known as A Holy Convocation. (Remember, “Convocation” means = to call together, to assemble, to call).
Then we read on the day of the Rapture as in accordance with 1 Thessalonians 4 that we will be caught up together or one could say GATHERED UP (The Feast of The Ingathering (Tabernacles))! The Rapture could very well take place during the Fall Holidays of God during Rosh Hashanah and the Feast of Tabernacles! As the Tabernacles, we will hear a loud call or command, then a trumpet call will be heard (The Day of Sounding The Shofar or Rosh Hashanah), then we, the Tabernacles will all be gathered up to meet Him in the air on the very Sacred Occasion, also another name for The Feast of Tabernacles!
This is an amazing season and time. There is SO MUCH MORE about these Holidays and Feasts that we want to share! If you want to have more insight and a deeper knowledge of these High Holy Days of God, contact JCM and we can get more information to you! How wonderful of God to give us this time of repentance every year before these High Holy Days! God wants everyone to be a part of this glorious day called The Rapture of The Church! So, if you need to give your life to Jesus or come back to Him, spend some time repenting in this season and come back to Jesus right now!
Say these words and mean them with all your heart:,
“Lord, Jesus I know that I have sinned, please forgive me. Please come into my life and save me. Clean me and mold me into your likeness. I confess and make you The Lord, The Boss of My Life. And please baptize me in Your Holy Spirit. I shall follow You! I believe and receive You Lord, Jesus in Jesus Name, Amen.”
Thank you Covenant Partners and Friends for your faithful prayers, love and support. We are reaching people together! We love you JCM Family! Until Next Month, remember . . .
Keep Getting Ready, Jesus Is Coming!
