Rosh Hashanah is also known as the Day of Judgment. At the Final Judgment spoken of in Revelation 20:15, we read that "anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire." The book of Revelation also speaks of this Book of Life as belonging to the Lamb, Jesus Christ (Revelation 21:27).
The New Testament reveals in John 5:27 that the Father has given his Son, Jesus, authority to judge everyone, and 2 Timothy 4:1 says that Jesus will judge the living and the dead. Jesus told his followers in John 5:24, "I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life." Therefore, through our acceptance of his sacrifice and atonement for sin, Jesus has become the fulfillment of this Old Testament feast so closely associated with repentance and judgment.
