TISHRI: DAY 3
THE BRIDE WHO REMEMBERS
Tishri is a season of remembrance.
The sounding of the shofar awakens the Bride, but awakening must lead somewhere. It brings us into remembrance, remembering who Yahuah is, remembering whose we are, remembering the covenant, and remembering what He has spoken.
In the Hebraic understanding, remembrance is not passive reflection. Zikaron (זִכָּרוֹן) is the Hebrew word for memory, remembrance, or a memorial. Zikaron carries the idea of bringing something to mind in a way that produces a response.
Biblical remembrance is active. What we remember is meant to shape how we walk.
“On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Sukkot for seven days to Yahuah.”
Wayyiqra 23:34, ISR
Tishri brings us into the seventh month, and seven carries the biblical pattern of completion, fullness, and sacred rhythm. The seventh month is marked by appointed times that call Yahuah’s people to stop and recognize that time belongs to Him. The calendar itself becomes a prophetic witness: you are not your own master of time.
The Bride must remember this.
We live in a culture that teaches us to move quickly, produce constantly, and measure our lives by what we accomplish. Tishri interrupts that rhythm. It calls us out of the tyranny of constant activity and back into the reality that Yahuah establishes the times and seasons.
The Bride must know when to move, but she must also know when to stop. There is a sacredness to stopping before Yahuah.
When we stop, we become aware of what has been driving us. We begin to hear what the noise has covered. We begin to see what our busyness has concealed. We discover whether we have been moving with Him or moving ahead of Him.
I believe this is why remembrance is connected to returning.
When Israel remembered Yahuah, they were being called back to covenant reality. Forgetfulness in Scripture is not always the loss of mental information. A person can know something intellectually while living as though it were not true. Israel could know that Yahuah had delivered them and still live as though they had been abandoned. They could remember the wilderness and forget His faithfulness.
The Bride can do the same.
She can remember what Yahuah did while forgetting who He is.
She can remember past encounters while neglecting present intimacy.
She can remember the prophetic word while forgetting the One who spoke it.
She can remember the assignment while forgetting the presence.
Tishri calls us back to "z***r," to remember.
Remember His faithfulness.
Remember His covenant.
Remember His voice.
Remember the places where He met you.
Remember the prayers He answered.
Remember the doors He closed.
Remember the wilderness where He sustained you.
Remember that what He began in you was never dependent upon human approval.
And remember this most of all:
The Bridegroom has not changed.
If your circumstances have changed, He has not changed.
If people have changed, He has not changed.
If seasons have changed, He has not changed.
If your assignment has changed, He has not changed.
If your understanding has deepened, He has not changed.
The Bride's security is not found in the consistency of her circumstances. It is found in the faithfulness of her Bridegroom.
There is another kind of remembrance the Bride must recover: the remembrance of belonging.
“For your Maker is your Husband, Yahuah of hosts is His Name...”
Yeshayahu/Isaiah 54:5, ISR
The language of covenant is relational. Yahuah repeatedly reveals Himself as the One who establishes covenant with His people. Throughout the prophets, Israel's idolatry is described through the language of unfaithfulness because covenant is not merely legal; it is relational.
The Bride must remember who has her heart. This matters because whatever we forget, we can begin to replace.
When we forget the holiness of Yahuah, we become comfortable with compromise.
When we forget His presence, we become satisfied with performance.
When we forget covenant, we begin treating obedience as optional.
When we forget the Bridegroom, we begin giving our affection to other things.
Tishri is calling the Bride back into remembrance before the season moves deeper into repentance and cleansing.
Remember before you return.
Remember who called you.
Remember who chose you.
Remember who carried you.
Remember who sustained you.
Remember who kept you when you could not keep yourself.
And then let remembrance produce obedience.
Biblical remembrance is never intended to leave us where we are.
When Yahuah says, "remember," He is calling us to live differently because of what we remember.
The Bride who remembers will guard what the Bride who forgets will surrender.
She will guard her oil.
She will guard her affection.
She will guard her hearing.
She will guard her covenant.
She will guard the place of intimacy.
Today, let Tishri interrupt the noise long enough for you to remember. Not everything that needs to be recovered is something you lost. Some things need to be remembered.
You have not forgotten how to love Him.
You have not forgotten His voice.
You have not forgotten what He called you.
The sound is awakening your remembrance.
Remember the Bridegroom and let what you remember change how you walk.
PRAYER
Yahuah, awaken my remembrance.
Bring back to my heart what I have allowed the noise of life to cover. Remind me of Your faithfulness, Your covenant, Your voice, and Your presence. Guard me from remembering Your works while forgetting Your heart.
Let remembrance produce obedience in me. Let it turn my affection back toward You and cause me to guard what You have entrusted to me.
I remember who You are. I remember whose I am. I remember that You are faithful. I turn my gaze toward You again.
In Yahshua's Name, Amen.
QUESTIONS TO ASK
What is Yahuah asking me to remember in this season?
Where have I remembered His works but lost sight of His heart?
What does remembering that I belong to the Bridegroom require of me today?
Blessings, Bridal Glory Friends.
*I had a ministry assignment in Kansas over the weekend and didn't realize that the new moon wasn't sighted in Israel when I shared my first Tishri post, so I am most likely a day off. I apologize for that; I am grateful for ABBA's grace.*
