Why do the priests blow the shofar thirty days before this celebration?
The rabbis teach in the Talmud that the reason that the shofar is blown everyday is not only to get you ready for war, but to bring the people back to worship God. It also is blown to confuse the devil and make him think that the Messiah has already come. The Book of Revelation says He says Jesus will return with the sound of the trumpet or the shofar. For thirty days before Rosh Hashanah, everyday the High Priest would blow the shofar to announce that the Messiah is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. To announce to the enemy that we’re at war and the banner of God is over the army and that because of that our King can defeat your king. Our King can defeat sickness. Our King can defeat debt. Our King can defeat racism and poverty.
