"Rosh HaShana: The Coronation of the King" - Love & Purity Podcast 68

🧭 Episode Summary:

In this episode, we explore the deep spiritual significance of Rosh HaShana—not just as the Jewish New Year, but as the day when kings were anointed and their reigns were officially recognized. This season invites us to acknowledge God's Kingship, submit to His righteous judgment, and align our hearts with the Kingdom of Heaven.

🔑 Key Themes Covered:

👑 1. Rosh HaShana & Kingship

● Historically, Rosh HaShana marked the beginning of a king’s reign in Israel. ● Spiritually, it’s a time for the people of God to acknowledge the true King—the Lord of Hosts—and submit to His rule. ● It’s not only about a new year, but a renewed alignment with the Kingdom of God.

🌍 2. A Kingdom Perspective

● Scripture speaks of multiple "kingdoms": ○ Kingdom of Israel ○ Kingdom of God ○ Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 10:7, Matthew 6:33) ● These are not merely future realities but present truths we are invited to participate in. ● The Kingdom is central to the gospel message Yeshua preached: “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done…” (Matthew 6:10)

🕊️ 3. Who Is This King?

● Psalm 24 boldly asks and answers: “Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty…” ● The New Testament reveals Yeshua as this King—promised, rejected, crucified, but ultimately exalted. ● He is called: ○ King of the Jews (Matthew 2:2, 27:29) ○ King of Israel (John 1:49) ○ King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 17:14; 19:16) ○ The Blessed and Only Potentate (1 Timothy 6:15)

🔥 4. The King Who Judges

● Yeshua is not only Savior and King but also Judge: ○ “He was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.” (Acts 10:42) ○ All will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10; Romans 14:10) ○ As Paul declares in 2 Timothy 4:1, His judgment is tied directly to His appearing and His Kingdom.

📖 5. The End of All Rule

● Ultimately, Christ’s kingship culminates in the final defeat of all enemies, including death itself (1 Corinthians 15:24–28). ● He will hand the Kingdom over to the Father, and God will be all in all. ● Until then, He reigns “far above all principality and power” (Ephesians 1:20–23), seated at the right hand of the Father.    

🎧 Reflection & Application:

● Rosh HaShana is a call to kingdom living—to seek first His Kingdom and righteousness. ● It’s a time to ask: Do I truly live under the rule of the King? ● The King is coming. His Kingdom is eternal. And we are called to be faithful citizens and co-heirs with Him.
