The Feast of Trumpets

The annual religious celebration The shofar is blown at the western wall on the new moon of Tishrei to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets.
The very next feast due to be fulfilled.
Daniel 9:27; the epic future event!
In the autumn of the year and on the first day of the Tishrei moon trumpets are blown to announce the Hebrew holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Biblical Christians refer to it as the Feast of Trumpets. It is the 5th of the Seven Feasts of Israel. The ultimate New Covenant fulfillment of this future Jewish New Year, (Tishrei 1 on the Hebrew calendar), will be spectacular beyond words. The feast will explode into holy history. And it will be a blockbuster. Moses declared and prophesied that it would become a "memorial of blowing of trumpets" (Lev. 23:24-25) It seems that many faithful saints will suffer at the hands of the powers because they blew the trumpet and sounded the alarm on that awesome future Rosh Hashanah. (Ezek.33) On that coming feast day the faithful watchmen of Israel will answer the call. And "they will not be silent". This 5th feast was instituted by Moses at Sinai approximately 3,500 years ago. It marks the first day of the Hebrew (civil) new year. 'Rosh Hashanah' means 'head of the year'. The Feast of Trumpets is the first of the three, yet to be fulfilled, Fall Feasts of Israel. These Autumn Feasts relate to Kingdom/political issues rather than the High Priestly/religious matters that we saw Messiah address in the spring feasts during His first coming 2,000 years ago. Back then we saw Him ride into Jerusalem on a donkey as the 'Suffering Servant'. But when Messiah returns this next time He will come as the Conquering King. After Trumpets come the "Ten days of awe" which lead on to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the most solemn day of the year. On this awesome Day of Reckoning all accounts between YHVH-God and all His covenant people are settled. The Jubilee Year is also announced on this tenth day of Tishri. Trumpets are also blown during special times of national crisis. God's covenant people are summoned to gather themselves together in a solemn assembly before the God of Israel. Trumpets are sounded during battle in times of warfare. Trumpets also announce the coming of a king.
On a future Rosh Hoshanah, on the new moon of Tishrei, the shofars will begin to sound on a day like no other. The ultimate epic future Feast of Trumpets will burst onto the world stage and into holy history. This will be an awesome day of mixed celebration and alarm. YHVH-God's determined times for Daniel's Prophecy of the 70 Weeks will resume in earnest. All of God's covenant people from both houses of Israel will be "called out", summoned to solemn assembly at YHVH-God's new and revamped 'ekklesia', His new 'congregation', 'synagogue', or 'church' of the 70th Week". The saints will be crying out to God and this will spark the climactic End-Time Revival that Joel saw. (Joel 2:28-32) We now have very strong evidence that this future Rosh Hashanah will mark the terminus of the "Roadmap to Peace". This will be the day when Israel signs the seven year peace covenant written about in Daniel 9:27. Israel will agree to divide and sell the Holy Land and their national sovereignty for a pocketful of promises of "peace and safety". Moses spoke of this final alliance of Israel and predicted the ensuing Great Tribulation. Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, said that they would reject Him who came in His Father's Name and said that His covenant people would consort with a false messiah, a man who came "in his own name". John 5:43. Seven momentous years will then bring in the end-time witness. Then comes the final awesome Day of Atonement. Trumpets of Jubilee will herald the opening of the Day of the Lord which opens on the very next day. Angels of wrath will pluck up the wicked as tares for the fires. (Mat.13:30) At some unknown time in those ensuing days before the Feast of Tabernacles comes into its fulfillment the last trumpet will sound and all of God's Elect, (singular), will be gathered. The climactic future Resurrection-Rapture will see Messiah gather His Chosen from the nation of Israel and from among the heathen gentiles. All the saints, the quick and the dead, from every nation, race, and tribe, from both sides of Calvary will be there. And they will all enter the glory together. (Isa.49:6 and 1Thes. 4:15-1

The above came from www.deeptruths.com. You can see that the next feast that must be fulfilled by Jesus at His return is the Feast of Trumpets. "No one knows the day or the hour" of the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets because the high priest must "look up" until he sees a new moon and then when he sees it, he blows the shofar (the trumpet) to let all the people know that the feast of Trumpets has started. Jesus was giving a hidden message to only those who understood about the Feast of Trumpets. He was really saying that "I will be coming back on the Feast of Trumpets. I believe that the seven trumpet judgments of Revelation will be blown during the first three and one half years. Actually, after 1335 days (Daniel 12), on the Feast of Trumpets Jesus will return to harvest the earth of believers which is the real rapture. After that comes the seven bowls of judgment for all those who never trusted in Jesus Christ and those who took the mark of the beast.

Sorry, this is all the time I have, but next time, the last two feasts.

  1. Okay so I guess my other post didnt work :(

    Here are the questions again!

    1) Who is the high priest that will announce the Feast of Trumpets?

    2) What is the "criteria" for the anti-christ?

    3) Why does the Feast of Unleaven Bread last for 7 days?

    4) What do they do with the first fruits after they wave them at the temple?

    5) Where do they perform the feasts since the temple is not built? Is there a specific temple that is used?

    That is all I can think of so far. Can't wait to meet you when you come to visit Tifani!

  2. Hi Andrew and Mandy, The above blog should answer the question of who is the high priest. Hebrews tells us the answer.

    Where do they perform the feasts? They can't. The only acceptable place is on the purified Temple mount. In order to go back to the true worship of God as the Jews know it,they must rebuild and purify the Temple mount using the ashes of the red heifer. The Ark of the Covenant must be in the Holy of Holies, making Ron Wyatt's discover very important.

    After the waving of the first fruits, they burn the sacrifice to sent the aroma of the smoke up to the presence of God giving Him praise.

    The criteria for the antichrist will have to be my next blog because it will take a while and lots of documentation.

    Why seven days? I don't really know. I just know that the unleaven bread represented the fact that they were suppose to think about removing sin from their lives.

    God bless, Dean
