Chapter 34: The Feast Of The Trumpets
The feast of the trumpets is a fall harvest festival. It is celebrated on the first day of the seventh Jewish month, which is in late September or early October on the Roman calendar. Leviticus 23:24-25 "Say to the Israelites: 'On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. Do no regular work, but present an offering made to the LORD by fire.'" Numbers 29:1 "On the first day of the seventh month hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. It is a day for you to sound the trumpets." Matthew 24:31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Revelation 10:7 "But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets." Revelation 11:15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever." Revelation 20:4 & 6 And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. The mystery of God concerning the feast of the trumpets, the seventh trumpet, and the first resurrection can finally be understood when one lets the bible explain itself by reading the verses concerning the subject in order from Leviticus to Revelation. Also notice that the feast of the trumpets begins on the first day of the seventh month. According to the calendar that God gave to Moses, April is the first month of the year, so the seventh month on the Jewish calendar occurs in mid September or early October on our calendar. If God follows his past practice we can expect the first resurrection to take place in the fall during harvest time in Israel. The feast of the trumpets is the fifth feast on the Lords calendar. There are two more feasts to be fulfilled after the first resurrection takes place, the feast of atonement and the feast of the tabernacles. |
