God wants us to recognize His redemptive plan for each month. This is not fortunetelling. The heavens declare the redemptive plan of God, and we need to walk this plan out in the earth realm. The Word of God is on a circuit and circles the earth. Psalm 19:6 talks about this. The heavens declare the glory of God and the Word circles the earth (the sun makes a circuit) until we begin to pull the Word down and see manifestation in our midst.
Tishrei is the month of the "fall feasts," when we are to return to God and experience His glory.
