The Shout of a King

'Prophecy Watch' by David C. Grabbe

The Hebrew word *ruwa* (H7321) is the root of *teruah*, which signifies a piercing, thunderous, or deafening sound, often described as splitting the ears. This noise can convey alarm or rejoicing, being either destructive or joyful, depending on the context. The emphasis lies in the earsplitting nature of the sound rather than its specific source. While *teruah* is commonly associated with trumpets or ram's horns, it more directly points to an arresting noise, akin to the roar of a shouting throng, especially when directed to God. On Yom Teruah, the Day of Trumpets or Day of Shouting, this intense sound serves to capture attention and redirect focus to the presence of the divine King among His people. In various instances, such shouting accompanies the recognition of God's presence, drawing awareness to His actions and significance amidst His followers.

The Shout of a King

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

The prophecy in which the daughter of Jerusalem must shout to her king riding on a donkey was fulfilled when Jesus triumphantly rode into Jerusalem.

Psalms: Book Four: A New Day Dawns

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The Hebrew word *ruwa'* (H7321), often translated as "shout," carries significant meaning in the context of the return of Jesus Christ as the divine Warrior and King. This term, along with its cognate *teruah*, is associated with a powerful, joyful noise made by people in the presence of their king or a figure of great importance. It reflects a tremendous outpouring of emotion, a collective hurrah, signaling the arrival of someone momentous. In the scriptural narrative, this shout is tied to the glorious appearing of Christ, marking a pivotal moment of divine intervention and salvation. The concept of *ruwa'* underscores the anticipation and celebration surrounding His return, as it encapsulates the response of the faithful to the presence of their long-awaited King. This shout is not merely a sound but a profound expression of recognition and triumph as He comes to establish His rule with righteousness and equity.
