The Highlights About Feast Of Trumpets

By Shirley Mitchell


This is a kind of celebrations that most Israelites observe. They call it Rosh Hashanah meaning the first of the year. The Israelites are expected to commemorate the day on the first day of the seventh month in each and every calendar year. The celebrations highlight the past events of the life of Christians and what is to come in the future. The following are what you need to know about the Feast Of Trumpets as a Christian:

The memorial of this feast is interconnected with the day that all the Israelites were called to assemble around Mount Sinai. They were to gather around the place once they heard the loud sound of trumpet. On that day the Israelites trembled as there was earthquake, thunder, lightning and smoke around the mountain as illustrated in Exodus 19: 16-19. It signifies that the Israelites accepted to enter into a covenant with the God and had chosen to hold the responsibilities given to them.

All the Israelites are commanded to observe this important day that took place. The Moses passed the message from God to the Israelites that they were required to abandon everything and observe the day of blowing the trumpet. Leviticus 23: 1-25 records the special events and some practices that were forbidden during the celebrations.

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 has a very significant meaning in the life of a Christian. It signifies that when Jesus will descend down, there will be blowing of the seven trumpets. The rapture will follow and the dead will be resurrected. Some verses that support this include the book of Matthew 24:31 and 1 Corinthians 15:52. It will be a day that Jesus will come to take the Christians and take over the Kingdoms of earth.

History indicates that the celebrations were held in the desert. People would latter assemble in the temples of Jerusalem and they would come in large numbers. In current world the meaning of the celebration is more important and the celebration can take place anywhere.

This day is important for all Christians. It is during this time that you are required to leave all your daily duties and put your attention to God. The blowing of trumpets indicated that there was a special message being conveyed. The Christians should concentrate on the message delivered and they should also think about the second coming of Jesus.

The celebrations of this feast are a special occurrence in the life of Christian. It is through the day that Christians remember that they made a covenant with the God. They are also reminded of the death of Jesus Christ and the rapture of the Earth Kingdom. The Modern Christians should observe this feast as a reminder of the occurrences that are to take place.
