The Trumpet Shall Sound

My son, John, blowing his shofar at the foot of Cathedral Peak on New Year's Day 2010
"In that day, the great trumpet will sound. Many who were dying in exile in Assyria and Egypt, will return to Jerusalem to worship the Lord on His Holy mountain." Isaiah 27:13

  2. Ja Ida, ek het fotos van Tielman (Hoffmeyer) en Michael Barath (rekenmeester by Sparta) wat daar staan met en luister met sulke genot. John het die shofar eers in Augustus gekry en kan dit al goed blaas. Ek dink dis nogal moeilik. (het self probeer en opgegee!) Pragtig ne? Liefjou.

  7. Hi Glennis, to me it sounds like a cow mooing - which is appropriate considering it's a horn! It does sound like a trumpet - wonderful to hear it in the mountains like this.

  8. That's a good way to sound in the new year. I've only seen horns like that in movies.
    Hope your January is going well.

  11. As soon as I read the title, I started singing, "The Trumpet Shall Sound"--which is a choral anthem I used to sing... Have you heard it???

    What a gorgeous setting for John to blow his shofar --at Cathedral Peak.

    Your sun pictures in the next post are amazing also.

    Thanks for your kind words on my blog today. God is there for all of us!!! Right???
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  13. Wow Jo, that is one spectacular setting. I'll bet the trumpeting of the shofar bounces off those magnificent mountains. Can't wait to see this in person. Will get back to John soon. Thanks for the heads up.

  14. You have a shofar!

    I'd love to have one. I get to hear one a lot on some of the sermon podcasts I subscribe to, but I'd love to have one for celebrating Shabbat and other Festivals of the Lord.

    Cool!

  15. Gaelyn, yes, I believe it sounds amazing in the mountains. You will LOVE climbing in the Drakensberg.

    Faith, welcome to my blog. My son (pictured in post) and his wife and I have celebrated Shabat. I learnt to make Challah which was served at this meal. I have a post on a beautiful friend of mine which is under my That's my world Tuesday, called Saturdays with Yvonne. I will be posting Challah recipes and photos soon. Have a good weekend.

  16. This is a really stunning picture, Jo. I was reading on Betsy's blog that you were feeling a little low. I believe sometimes it's hard not to sink into self-pity for whatever reason, but making a gratitude list will usually bring me back out. Thanks for your comments on my blog. Calling me Loretta made me laugh! Hope you are doing well.

  17. Great picture of your son blowing his horn and the green natural background.

  18. Beautiful scenery. Anyone who has a chance to go on the hike, looks like they would be in for an awesome time. Whenever I hear the shofar it sends a shiver of excitement and anticipation through me.
