The Shofar
The shofar is the biblical trumpet (the
Hebrew word shofar is translated “trumpet” in most English Bibles).
Because the most ancient shofars were made from a ram’s horn, it
reminded the people of the ram that YHWH provided when Abraham offered
his son Isaac on Mount Moriah.
Shofars can be made of any animal
horn except that of a cow, so a much larger shofar is made from the
horn of an antelope. It is called the Yemenite shofar.
The shofar is
a very important element in the worship experience of the Jewish
community. It also has great significance for Christians, for the
references in the Apostolic Scriptures to the trumpet most certainly
refer to the shofar. When John spoke of seven trumpets in Revelation,
and when Paul wrote about the last trumpet that signals the
resurrection, they were talking about the shofar |
