Insights You Need On Feast Of Trumpets

By Shirley Mitchell


This is one of the holidays that are celebrated by the Jews up to date. It is known as Rosh Hashanah loosely translated to first of the year. The day appears on the first day of the seventh month in the Jewish calendar. The Feast Of Trumpets is a very significant aspect of the Christians lives because it creates a picture of what happened and what is to come. The following are some of the facts of that special day.

The day commemorates the times of Moses and the historic gathering around Mount Sinai. The blowing of the trumpets had deeper meaning and all the Israelites surrounded the foot of the Mountain. The happenings on that day made the Israelites to tremble in fear as the Lord descended on the mountain and there was huge smoke, lightning and thunder as per Exodus 19: 16-19. The covenant between man and God was established on the very day and the Christians should commemorate this special day.

The commemoration of the day by Christians is an order from the God himself. In Leviticus 23: 1-25 the Israelites are commanded to leave everything and hold a celebration in memorial of remembering the day of blowing of the trumpets. There were some practices that were not allowed during the period and it was purposely to act as a reminder of the covenant.

Jesus came down to establish the covenant and renew another one. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ was to remind the Christians that the covenant has been renewed as indicated in Luke 22:20. The life that Jesus went through is a constant reminder that Jesus renewed the covenant. The act is also remembered through constant Holy Communion but the major celebration is during this feast. It reminds the Christians to maintain the life of Christ.

The feast reminds Christians of the second coming of Jesus Christ. The bible describes the events that will take place when Jesus will descend on the earth. The blowing of the trumpets from all the four corners of the world will signify the end times and the trumpets will be blown seven times. It shows that all the dead will be resurrected and the Kingdom of earth will be ruled by Jesus forever as shown in Matthew 24:31 and 1 Corinthians 15:52.

Historically these kinds of celebrations were observed by the Israelites in the wilderness. They would later gather in Jerusalem temples. But these celebrations can take place anywhere. It can be arranged in local church and develop a trumpet like music to remind the church of this important day.

This is a day that the God ordered all Christian to stop the normal activities and concentrate on him. It is an important feast for Christian to meditate on the greater things that are to come. The sounds of the trumpets show that God had a purpose for the day to be celebrated as it reveals on the second coming of Jesus Christ, the resurrection and the establishment of the kingdom of God.

The feast is very important as it indicates the very beginning of salvation. The events lead to one another up the ascension of Jesus Christ. His second coming is important as it requires the Christians to retake note of the day by obeying the Commands.
