The Feast of Trumpets

Leviticus 23:23-25 (NKJV)

• 23 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a Sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.’”

Feast of trumpets• The Feast of Trumpets is the

beginning of the autumn Festivals, which are the final ones of the year.

• It commemorates the end of the agricultural season

The three harvest of the Feasts• Each Feast of the Lord occurs

in a harvest time.• Each one reveals the

purposes of salvation in the plans of God.

and First Fruits occurs in the beginning of spring in the Barley’s crop.

The Trumpet•The trumpet represents the rapture of the Church.•The trumpet was the signal for the field workers to come to the temple, they would stop harvest and come to worship

1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 (NKJV)

• 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first

1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 (NKJV)

• 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53 (NKJV)

• 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 

The Lord Himself will descend from heaven

1 Corinthians 15:51-53 (NKJV)• 53 For this corruptible must

put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

The Rapture of the Church• At the sound of the last

trumpet, every living believer will stop, cease the harvest and rise from the earth.

• The Church will be taken out of this world.

• During the feast, the trumpet is blown a total of 100 times, with the final horn blast lasting much longer than the first 99 blasts.

• This final blast pictures the trumpet sound which will announce the Rapture of the Church, which Paul mentions in 1Cor 15.

Joel 2:1(NKJV)• The Day of the LORD• 2 Blow the trumpet in Zion,

And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand:

Amos 3:6 (NKJV)• 6 If a trumpet is blown in a

city, will not the people be afraid? If there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord

have done it?

• The Prophetic plan of God for the rehearsal of the Feast of Trumpets, up to now is still unfulfilled.

• This Feast points out to the second coming of The Lord Jesus Christ to earth, to establish The Kingdom of God

• It marks the end of the church era as is now, and starts the era in which God is going to be more in direct contact with the affairs of the world

• The Feast of Trumpets, which follows the Feast of Weeks, marks the start of the Great tribulation and wrath of God, the ten years of penitence or repentance before Christ returns to the earth.
