FEAST OF TRUMPETS
The Feast of Trumpets kicks off the Fall Holy Days.
Are we supposed to observe these Feast Days?
Most pastors will tell you 'No', because they were 'nailed to the cross' and 'done away with'. And they teach that these are Jewish feasts.
The 'churches' teach that the Jews are the Israel of the Bible and that the NT is about the 'church'. Both of which are false.
This topic can cause division between our people, and that is not what we want.
We believe that we ARE to keep these Feast Days, but will not condemn our kinsmen if they choose not to observe them.
We observe them because we are the children of Jacob Israel and this is our heritage.
This presentation is about providing enough information, references and scripture for you to make up your own mind. You won't go to 'hell' if you don't keep the feasts, but you will have to answer for it in 'that day'.
The Feast of Trumpets opens the fall Holy Day season, beginning on the first day of the seventh month of God’s sacred Solar calendar. It follows a 91st day, which is a Soldier Shabbath, which is one of four intercalary days that follow every third month, which also starts a new season. The number seven in God’s Plan depicts perfection and completion, and this seventh month contains the four fall festivals that picture the completion of God’s Plan of salvation.
Trumpets were used often in the nation of Israel. The sound of a trumpet could call for an assembly of the congregation, direct the movement of the camps, or announce the beginning of months or appointed feasts, and to mobilize the army. Silver trumpets were generally used for these reasons, producing unique notes identifying the action to be taken. (Num 10:1-3,10; Jer 4:19-21)
In contrast with the musical sound of the silver trumpets, the shofar (ram's horn) produced piercing blasts that symbolized an alarm of impending attack or war.
Whose responsibility is it to blow the warning trumpet today? Has God commanded His “watchman” to warn people of their sins?
Ezekiel 33:7 So you, O son of Adam, I have set you a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore you shalt hear the word at My mouth, and warn them from Me.
33:8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, you shalt surely die; if you dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
33:9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you hast delivered your soul.
Is the watchman to lift up his voice like a trumpet?
Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet (H7782- shophar), and shew My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
What is also to be announced alongside this warning?
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world (Adamic societies) for a witness unto all (Adamic) nations; and then shall the end come.
There are 7 Feast Days. The Feast of Trumpets is the 5th of 7.
Feast of Trumpets begins the Fall Holy Days.
All 7 of the Feast Days have to do with Yahweh the Father, Yahshua the Son, and the children of Israel, and are reminders of our family history.
The 7 Feast days are:
Passover Leviticus 23:5
Feast of Unleavened Bread Leviticus 23:6
Wave Sheaf/Feast of Firstfruits Leviticus 23:10
Pentecost Leviticus 23:15
Feast of Trumpets Leviticus 23:24
Day of Atonement Leviticus 23:27
Feast of Tabernacles followed by The Last Great Day Leviticus 23:34
Every Feast Day is a part of the Gospel message.
The Gospel is the message of the Good News. The news of our Saviour, and that He died for our sins. But it doesn't stop there. It's the Good News of regathering and reconciliation, education and teaching, of preparation and repentance.
When the gospel is preached, it's message is to the children of Israel, because every one of these Feast Days is part of the plan of reunification between scattered Israelites and Yahweh.
Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Passover is celebrated as a reminder that Yahshua died to pay the penalty of our sins during His First Advent. The angel of death passed over the Israelite's houses that were covered with the blood of the Passover Lamb.
Romans 4:7 Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
The Gospel is celebrated in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which reminds us that we must put the sin out of our lives.
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
It is a reminder that Yahweh took our ancestors out from bondage and idolatry in haste, gave them the law and Feast Days to keep us in The Way and in remembrance that He chose us. If we are covered by His blood, then we must sin no more. We must continue to obey The Gospel, which is part of the commandments, and connected to the Feast Days.
2Thessalonians 1:8 (Yahshua will be returning with His malakiym-angels...) In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Master Yahshua Christ:
1Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
The Gospel is celebrated in the Feast of Weeks, also called Wave Sheaf and Feast of Firstfruits. It represents the Resurrection of Yahshua Christ from the dead. It is symbolic of the firstfruits of God's calling and begins the 50 day countdown to Pentecost, which means it's time to go out and witness to your kinsman that He's alive, that you are forgiven, because He is risen, now change the way you're livin'! When one responds to this Good News then they are your presentation of firstfruits which can now receive the Holy Spirit, because The Gospel is celebrated in Pentecost. When you do that which is right in the sight of Yahweh, you receive the Holy Spirit, which is promised to those who obey Him.
Acts 5:32 And we are His witnesses of these things; and also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey Him.
The Gospel is preached in the Feast of Trumpets, because the Trumpet is a warning and call to preparation that Yahshua is coming. Time to repent for the reign of Yahshua is near.
Ezekiel 33:7 So you, O son of Adam, I have set you a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the word from My mouth, and warn them for Me.
The Gospel is not just about love, it's also a call to repentance, a warning to change your ways and trim your lamps, and a preparation for the wedding supper.
The Gospel is celebrated in the Day of Atonement, which is a time to repent, and to fast, which means to humble yourselves and deny food, water, and worldly things for the day. It's a spiritual as well as bodily cleanse.
2Chronicles 7:14 If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Yahshua began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The Gospel is celebrated in the Feast of Tabernacles because when you have atoned and repented, you are now cleansed and can dwell in the safety of Christ. It is a reminder of when Yahweh dwelt among our Israelite ancestors in the wilderness in tents. It is also symbolic that we will dwell in safety when He returns in flaming fire.
Exodus 29:45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
Psalm 61:4 I will abide in Your tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of Your wings. Selah.
1John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
The Gospel is also a reminder of the Last Great Day of this Feast of Tabernacles which represents the Judgment Day and end of this evil age and the beginning of the Kingdom age.
Peter reminds us that true knowledge is the key. He states the importance of having scriptural knowledge and discerning it from corrupt worldly knowledge. Correct knowledge brings fruits of righteousness.
2Peter 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Master and Saviour Yahshua Christ.
James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him?
John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.
These Feast Days cover the whole bible. They are the Gospel message within the heritage and appointed days of our people and reveals the plan of repentance, redemption, reconciliation, remembrance, obedience, and salvation. The Gospel is a call to repentance, to putting away the old sinner and putting on the new educated obedient Christian. And to live according to The Way, which includes all the commandments and appointed days given to our people to observe and follow. The Gospel is a return to our identity and heritage, to our Christian way of lifestyle and to our God.
Observing these Feast Days shows you understand the message and what our Kinsman Redeemer Yahshua Christ had done for us. What else would The Gospel be about?
We as Americans observe the 4th of July, Marchin' Lootin' and Killin' day, Cinco de Mayo, and Gay Pride events. The last 3 are not even days a true white American Christian Israelite should celebrate. As far as the 4th of July, well, it's a celebration of the independence of our country, which is not independent anymore. It has been a Jewish owned and run corporation since 1871.
But it's OK to shun and forget Yahweh's appointed days!
Paul kept the feasts.
Acts 18:21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast (either FUB or FOT) that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
1Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast (of UB), not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
John taught to keep the feasts and commandments.
1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate (Intercessor) with the Father, Yahshua Christ the righteous: (Heb 7:25)
2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole (Adamic) society.
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through The Belief in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
2:3 And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we (would) keep His commandments. (1Jn 3:6)
2:4 He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
2:5 But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. (Gen 17:1; Psa 119:1; Mat 5:48; 1Jn 3:24)
2:6 He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.
As He walked. Christ kept the feasts. He is our model.
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
The time is at hand. Are you hearing the instructions yet? Are you understanding the commands yet?
Septuagint: Proverbs 13:15 Sound discretion gives favour, and to know the law is the part of a sound understanding: but the ways of scorners tend to destruction.
Geneva: Proverbs 13:15 Good understanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
Feast of Trumpets is a warning and a call for preparation.
How can you heed a warning and prepare to meet your Maker if you don't know or haven't done any of His requests or requirements?
How can you show Him you deny worldly things and trust Him if you don't afflict your soul (humble yourself) with fasting and repenting?
How do you expect to dwell with Him in safety from this satanic society if you are not tabernacling out and away from society (even if it's just for the week of tabernacles), and if you have not repented or trimmed your lamp?
Obedience is not proven by 'just believing'.
These instructions and feast observances are part of our family heritage. They are reminders of our ancestors and what Yahweh does for our people who love Him.
Matthew 11:30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
These feasts are not meant to be a burden, or hard. They are joyous feasts of fellowship and remembrance, and blessings!
Notice the following report related to the Middle Ages:
The Waldenses (pre-Protestants 1173 AD) recognized that they were the true successors of the apostolic church. They kept the SABBATH, also the yearly PASSOVER. And each September or October (in God's seventh month -- see Lev. 23), they held at the headquarters church a great "conference." As many as 700 persons attended from afar. New students were chosen, ministerial assignments were made, AND CROWDS GATHERED DAILY TO LISTEN TO SERMONS. What could this gathering have been but the week of Trumpets and Feast of Tabernacles! Under the name of Passagini, we have the clearest sort of statement that these people, about 1200, observed the whole Old Testament law, including the Sabbath and FESTIVALS! People called Cathars at Cologne, Germany, kept a fall festival, called "Malilosa", even before Waldo began to preach. Compare this unexplained name with Hebrew "melilah" (a harvested ear of grain -- Strong's Exhaustive Concordance) and the Biblical title "Feast of Ingathering" (Exo 23:16).
Furthermore, Sabbath-keepers in Transylvania in the 1500s (and probably later kept) the Fall Holy Days such as the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Trumpets (called Day of Remembrance):
The Sabbatarians viewed themselves as converted Gentiles (because they believed the lie that the Jews are Israel). They held to the biblical holidays (because of the law on their heart and because they were Israelites that wrongly identified as transGentiles). (Liechty D. Sabbatarianism in the Sixteenth Century. Andrews University Press, Berrien Springs (MI), 1993, pp. 61-62)
Next are all the verses regarding the Feast of Trumpets.
Leviticus 23:23 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month (Ethanim), in the first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets (H8643- teruah), an holy convocation (high sabbath).
Numbers 29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation (high sabbath); ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets (H8643- teruah) unto you.
23:25 You shall do no servile work therein: but you shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
The Fall equinox. Ethanim means “enduring”.
There is no priesthood, or sacrifices or offerings made by fire today because Christ fulfilled the Levitical ordinances.
We are an offering. Our obedience is our work tried by fire.
The Hebrew has a crying of trumpets, as in a cry of joy.
Blowing the trumpets is H8643 teruah, which is an alarm, a signal, a shout or blast of war, alarm, or joy.
Yahweh said to Joshua “See, I have given into your hand Jericho”.
He commands the priests and men of war to compass the city once for six days blowing with the trumpets (H7782- shophar- ram's horns). On the seventh day they shall compass the city seven times and the priests shall blow with the trumpets (shophar). And the people shall shout with a great shout and the city shall fall down flat.
Joshua 6:15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets (shophar), Joshua said unto the people, Shout (rua); for Yahweh hath given you the city.
6:17 And the city shall be accursed (devoted- appointed to destruction), even it, and all that are therein, to Yahweh: only Rahab the harlot (Inn Keeper) shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Rahab was not a whore. She was a widow, who after her husband died, was in charge of an Egyptian Embassy. She was of the tribe of Ephraim.
We see much symbolism here.
In Revelation, there are 7 'church' ages, which represent the stages of Christianity from the time of Christ to the end times.
Yahweh's watchmen during each age warned the people of their ways and exhorted them to return to Yahweh.
The two witnesses sent into the city represent the two houses of Israel and Judah. Those few faithful watchmen and teachers in each generation that bring the truth to the 'lost' sheep.
Yahweh's witnesses are those bringing The Gospel message to His people and warning them of the coming judgment.
The ones that hear the warnings and The Gospel message are delivered as the city, or the system, is destroyed and the people of Yahweh receive their inheritance.
In Judges we see the same symbolism.
Gideon was also a 'type' of Christ.
We see that Yahweh thins down the people to a remnant that trusts Him.
Yahweh says to Gideon, “Arise, get you down unto the host; for I have delivered it into your hand”.
The dream of barley bread tumbling down into the host of Midian and smote it was a symbol of the sword of Gideon. This would represent the FUB and Pentecost which represents the putting of sin out of our lives and the receiving of the Holy Spirit because of it, which brings us victory.
Gideon, who is a first-fruit and God's watchman, instructs those with him to do as he does.
Judges 7:18 When I blow with a trumpet (shophar), I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets (shophar) also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of (For) Yahweh, and of (For) Gideon.
In the verses following and in chapter 8, Gideon rejects kingship, which is a denial of worldly things and shows that Gideon wants the people to trust in Yahweh to rule over them.
The remnant of Judah returns from Babylonian captivity to rebuild Jerusalem.
Ezra 3:5 And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons (months), and of all the set feasts (H4150- appointed) of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto Yahweh.
3:6 From the first day of the seventh month (Feast of Trumpets) began they to offer burnt offerings unto Yahweh. But the foundation of the temple of Yahweh was not yet laid.
3:10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets (chatsotserah), and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
3:11 And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto Yahweh; because He is good, for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of the house of Yahweh was laid.
Again, the Feast of Trumpets is a warning and a preparation that Yahweh is coming. In this case, the first Advent which came about 400 years later.
The test is of endurance and obedience. When you follow The Way of Yahweh you will receive mercy.
Tobit 14:5 And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.
The Law is read and reinstated.
Nehemiah 8:1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law (torah) of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded to Israel.
8:2 And Ezra the priest brought the law (torah) before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. (1Esd 9:40)
This would be the Feast of Trumpets.
Deuteronomy 31:11 When all Israel is come to appear before Yahweh your God in the place which He shall choose, you shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
31:12 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and your stranger (sojourning kinsmen) that is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
8:3 And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law (torah).
The remnant of Judah which returned to Jerusalem from Babylonian captivity were spared, Passed-over, meaning they were faithful and trusted Yahweh through their punishment and were preserved for it. They put the sin out of their lives during captivity and continued in The Way which represents the FUB, and they were the first-fruits of the divorce which were allowed to return to Jerusalem with the Holy Spirit, which is represented by Pentecost. The rebuilding of the city and re-institution of the law represents the Feast of Trumpets which is also a warning and preparation that Yahshua is coming, which He did a few hundred years later. The returnees denied the worldly things and returned to true worship and trust in Yahweh, which represented the Day of Atonement. The fact that they dwelt in safety and peace during this new beginning back in Jerusalem from Babylonian captivity represents the Feast of Tabernacles because Yahweh can be present (tabernacle) with a righteous society.
Job was a righteous man, but Yahweh allowed Satan to try Job because Job was not as righteous as he thought he was.
Job 33:13 (Elihu speaking) Why dost you strive against Him (Yahweh)? for He giveth not account of any of His matters.
33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
Numbers 12:6 And He (Yahweh) said, Hear now My words: If there be a prophet among you, I Yahweh will make Myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
33:16 Then He openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
33:17 That He may withdraw man (Adam) from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
Septuagint: 17 to turn a man from unrighteousness, and He delivers his body from a fall.
33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
33:19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
33:20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
Psalm 107:18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
33:21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
33:22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers (angels of death).
33:23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man (Adam) his uprightness:
33:24 Then He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
33:26 He shall pray unto God, and He will be favourable unto him: and he shall see His face with joy (H8643- teruah): for He will render unto man his righteousness (their due).
Joy is H8643 teruah and is a shout of joy. The same word for trumpets.
We see the same symbolism of the feasts here.
Follow Yahweh's instructions and be delivered.
We must be reminded that Christ died for our sins (Passover), we must put sin out of our lives (FUB), we must answer the call to receive the Holy Spirit (Pentecost), we must heed the warnings and prepare for Christ's return (Feast of Trumpets), we must deny worldly things and trust Yahweh (Day of Atonement), and we must remember that we are pilgrims and that this life is our test and if we want to dwell with Christ (FOT) we've got only a little time to get right before the Last Great Day.
Psalm 81:3 Blow up the trumpet (shophar) in the new moon (month), in the time appointed, on our solemn feast (H2282- sacred celebration) day.
Numbers 10:10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Yahweh your God.
81:4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law (judgment) of the God of Jacob.
Psalm 89:15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound (H8643- teruah): they shall walk, O YAHWEH, in the light of Your countenance (presence).
89:16 In Your name shall they rejoice all the day: and in Your righteousness shall they be exalted.
Blessed are you if you hear the joyful sound, the Trumpet. Blessed are you if you heed the warning and are prepared for His coming. You walk in the presence of Yahweh when you observe His holy days.
Psalm 98:6 With trumpets (chatsotserah) and sound of cornet make a joyful noise (H7321) before Yahweh, the King.
H7321 is rua' and means to shout, cry out, give a blast, an alarm of battle, to shout in triumph or joy. We will certainly be joyous upon the return of our King.
Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet (H7782- shophar-ram's horn), and shew My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
The Feast of Trumpets is a warning. We are to warn our Jewish Jesus worshiping, transGentile identifying, pork eating, antinomian kinsmen of their transgressions.
Many people believe they are 'good people', or are Christian because they go to 'church' every sungod day. But many will find out that they are not as righteous as they thought they were. This is the significance of these Feast Days. To re-examine your worship and prepare accordingly. To understand what they symbolize.
This is also why the Day of Atonement comes after Trumpets, because it is a time to afflict your souls whether you be in the correct faith (belief), or not.
If you don't get on neutral ground with Yahweh by humbling yourself with repentance and spiritual sacrifice (obedience), then He won't Tabernacle with you and you will be rejected on the Last Great Day.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Yahshua began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Yahshua is The Trumpet. His ministry was a warning and a preparation.
The Necessity for Watchfulness
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Adam cometh. (Luke 12:40)
How can one be ready if the Trumpet is not sounded?
Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
The 5 wise virgins represent those who have observed their heritage, the Feast Days, and heeded the warnings and prepared themselves for the bridegroom.
They are the ones that have fasted and denied worldly things, and dwell in safety in Christ from the world and it's abominations, because they didn't believe they were 'saved' already, didn't 'do away with the law', and weren't depending on the Rapture airlines to take them away from the tribulation scripture tells us we all must, and will, go through.
The 5 foolish virgins represent the 'churches', and those who do not know or follow the truth, don't want to know the truth, and do not answer the call.
It matters what kind of oil is in your lamp.The snake oil of Jewish deception and 'church' lies and disobedience, or the oil of truth and obedience.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at (overlooked); but now commandeth all men every where to repent (think differently):
17:31 Because He hath appointed a day (The Last Great Day), in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man (Christ) whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance (Wave Sheaf/Feast of Firstfruits/Feast of Weeks) unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead.
Repent while you still have time. Think differently and follow the truth while you still have time.
Again, Passover is our reminder that Christ died to pay for our sins.
Feast of Unleavened Bread is a reminder that we must put sin and 'church' doctrine out of our lives.
Wave Sheaf/Feast of Firstfruits/Feast of Weeks reminds us that Christ was raised from the dead.
Pentecost reminds us that we the faithful are His watchmen and have received His Holy Spirit. We are His witnesses and must spread The Gospel and warn our people in the 'churches'.
Feast of Trumpets is a reminder of warning and preparation that He is coming soon.
The Day of Atonement is a reminder to deny worldly things, to afflict ourselves with fasting for a day, and to trust in Yahweh.
Feast of Tabernacles is a reminder of our history and heritage when Yahweh freed our ancestors from Egypt and they dwelt in the wilderness in tents/tabernacles protected by Yahweh. And that with true knowledge and understanding and obedience, He can dwell with us.
And the Last Great Day is a reminder to get right with God before it's too late.
It's not a mystery, if you know the history.
1Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (be dead), but we shall all be changed,
15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (IIEsdr 6:23; 4Mac 9:22; Zec 9:14)
Trumpet is G4537 salpizo (sal-pid'-zo) which means to sound a trumpet, a trumpet blast.
II Esdras 6:18 And it (the voice) said, "Behold, the days are coming, and it shall be that when I draw near to visit the inhabitants of the earth,
19 and when I require from the doers of iniquity the penalty of their iniquity, and when the humiliation of Zion is complete,
20 and when the seal is placed upon the age which is about to pass away, then I will show these signs: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and all shall see it together.
21 Infants a year old shall speak with their voices, and women with child shall give birth to premature children at three and four months, and these shall live and dance.
22 Sown places shall suddenly appear unsown, and full storehouses shall suddenly be found to be empty;
23 and the trumpet shall sound aloud, and when all hear it, they shall suddenly be terrified.
24 At that time friends shall make war on friends like enemies, and the earth and those who inhabit it shall be terrified, and the springs of the fountains shall stand still, so that for three hours they shall not flow.
25 And it shall be that whoever remains after all that I have foretold to you shall himself be saved and shall see My salvation and the end of My world.
This may be referring to the time of the 5th Trumpet and 1st Woe of Revelation, which was the time of the Arab invasions of Christian lands of the Roman Empire. The Byzantine empire which was the longest lasting Christian society.
1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Master Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (2Esd 6:23)
'rise' from the Greek word 'anistemi' means to stand up and be counted.
4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Master in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Master.
4:18 Wherefore comfort (encourage) one another with these words.
Clouds represent groups of people. In this case, those faithful ones who have died.
The phrase "to meet." The Greek word used by Paul here is apantesis. It is a word which was used in ancient times to describe the actions of an official welcoming delegation that had been sent "to meet" a visiting dignitary. Thus, it literally means, "meeting and returning with."
It was customary back then (as it is today) that when a V.I.P. visits a city, the leader of that city sends out a delegation to welcome him and escort him to the mayor. Paul uses the term apantesis to describe our action in meeting Christ, he uses this particular term to show us that we are going to be sent TO ESCORT CHRIST BACK TO EARTH WHEN HE SETS UP HIS KINGDOM.
The word is used in three other New Testament passages: Matthew 25:1 and 6 speaks of the ten virgins who "went forth TO MEET the bridegroom." It was common practice in ancient times for the wedding party to escort the bridegroom to the bride after the marriage supper.
John 12:13 speaks of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem (a prophetic type of Christ's second coming, at which time He will truly have a triumphal entry). It says that the people "took branches of palm trees and went forth TO MEET Him”. Jesus certainly did not turn around and escort the people back to Bethany with Him! No, the people escorted Jesus into Jerusalem.
Acts 28:15 speaks of Paul's journey to Rome as a prisoner. When the Christians in Rome heard that Paul was outside the city, "they came TO MEET us as far as Appii forum (a post station)," which was about 43 miles from Rome. They treated Paul like a Christian V.I.P., and Paul's heart was encouraged at their boldness to be identified as Christian friends of his. Paul was not teaching that Christians would return to heaven with Christ, but rather that Christians would form Christ's escort back to earth.
In the New Testament, Jesus Christ reveals that before His return to the earth, there will be the blowing of seven trumpets, announcing progressive stages of the downfall and overthrow of the world’s kingdoms, ending with the return of Christ to take possession of the earth. Christ’s return is announced by the seventh and final trumpet.
Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel (messenger) of the church (assembly) in Sardis write; These things saith He that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know your works, that you hast a name that you livest, and art dead.
3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen (establish) the things which remain, that are ready to die (meaning the remnant): for I have not found your works perfect (completed) before God.
3:3 Remember therefore how you hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent (reconsider). If therefore you shalt not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shalt not know what hour I will come upon you. (Mat 24:43-44; Luk 12:39-40; 1Tim 6:20; 2Tim 1:13; Rev 16:15)
SARDIS (remnant, reformation) Means -bright light- those who overcome.
This was the time of the Reformation. Roughly 1517-1789 AD. All institutions, political and religious, suffered corruption.
This time period had good fruits because the following age of Philadelphia (roughly 1550-1850 AD) was not criticized by Yahweh because many people kept His word. Yahweh states He will guard them from the hour of temptation. He also warns them to hold fast to the Word which they have because He is coming quickly.
But....now we are in the last age of Laodicea (roughly 1850 to the present). The time when the Jews once again infiltrated white Christian society and brought it to decadence with their satanic ways. Because of Jewish influence, values, perversions and abominations, our people have been deceived and converted into lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, unholy, anti-christ, pork-eating, false doctrine believing, Jewish Jesus worshiping, transGentile identifying two-fold sons of GeHinnom.
Revelation 8:2 And I saw the seven angels (messengers) which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels (meaning the little ones' messengers) do always behold the face of My Father which is in heaven.
We've been warned!
8:3 And another angel (messenger) came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. (Amos 9:1)
8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's (messenger's) hand.
This eighth angel must be Yahshua Christ, praying for the martyred saints.
Amos 9:1 reads I saw Yahweh standing upon the altar: and He said, 'Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts (threshold) may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them (the apostates in the temple); and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.'
This is a referring to the temple housing that idol of the golden calf which had represented the state religion of Israel since the days of Jeroboam I.
No different then the 'churches' housing Jewish Jesus.
8:5 And the angel (messenger) took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. (Lev 16:12; Eze 10:2; Rev 11:19, 16:18)
8:6 And the seven angels (messengers) which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
1ST TRUMPET SOUNDS
Historically this is referring to the fall of the Roman Empire, which happened in thirds, and by the hands of the 'Barbarians', which were the Germanic tribes. Roughly 396-429 AD.
Prophetically this is referring to the fall of today's empires. Decaying from open borders, homosexuality and equal rights for sodomites, usury, and Jewish propaganda and bankers wars.
2ND TRUMPET SOUNDS
Historically this is the fall of Carthage to the Vandals under Genseric the Vandal King. Roughly between 439 and 455 AD. The battle for Roman seaports and fleets. The Roman Empire was quickly falling, as does every empire in decadence. Jewish infiltration which brings in multi-culturism, usury and fiat Babylonian money system, perversion of Christianity, open and rampant homosexuality, adoption of Jewish values, and the poisoning of the air, food, and water.
Why do you think the Jews have been kicked out of countries 359 times in recorded history?
3RD TRUMPET SOUNDS
Historically continuing the fall of Rome, 434-453 AD, the Hun invasion and wars against Roman and Visigoth forces.
4TH TRUMPET SOUNDS
Continuation of the fall of Rome, 476-622 AD, Odoacer the Mercenary deposed the last Roman emperor of the west, Romulus Augustulus. The end of the northwestern third of the Roman empire.
5TH TRUMPET SOUNDS
These last 3 trumpets are about the known world roughly between 622-1299 AD.
1ST WOE
Historically this is the Saracen invasion- the breakup of the southerly 1/3 of the Roman Empire.
Deals with the Arabs and Mohammedanism and conversion by the sword.
Feast of Trumpets, the 5th Feast Day, the 5th trumpet sound, which is a warning and preparation for what's coming.
6TH TRUMPET SOUNDS
2ND WOE
Historically deals with the Turkish invasion, roughly 1299-1917 AD.
-Turks took over what Arabs conquered and the rest of Asia Minor. And finally Constantinople.
This second woe is a description of the Turkic invasions of Byzantine lands.
The Byzantine Empire was the longest lasting Christian society until it finally became decadent.
7TH TRUMPET SOUNDS
Feast of Tabernacles. Symbolizes dwelling with Christ in safety from the world. Time is almost up. Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Repent, atone, come up out of her My people.

Yahweh’s Feast Days and the Female Gestation Cycle, Part 2 (Eli James)
Day 183 is the Feast of Trumpets. It is also when biological functions are completed in a fetus.
(The Feast of Trumpets (third trimester) represents the point where the fetus has all of its parts fully formed and functioning. The ears are capable of hearing (the trumpets) at this point.)
How do you observe the Feast of Trumpets?
First, you must know what day the Feast of Trumpets is.

It's a Holy Day, meaning a High Shabbath. It follows a 91st day, which is a Soldier Shabbath, which follows every third month. It is an intercalary day and beginning of the fall season.
The fall is a time of harvest and ingathering. Symbolic of the gathering of Yahweh's remnant of true Christians in the end times.
There is really no specifics on how to observe the Feast of Trumpets.
If you have a ram's horn, you can blow it and shout a battle cry.
It is a day to be mindful that Yahshua is coming soon. It's a day to prepare for the coming Feast Days which follow and to warn your kinsmen to trim their lamps, repent, and get right with Yahweh before He returns.
The Day of Atonement is 10 days later (Ethanim 10), and 5 days after that (Ethanim 15) is the Feast of Tabernacles followed by the Last Great Day (the eighth day of the FOT, Ethanim 22).
These fall Holy Days are a Trumpet of warning and preparation, a day of Fasting and humbling yourself (DOA), and a week of dwelling in booths (FOT) which is symbolic of dwelling in safety with Christ from the satanic world system.
Now you are ready to prepare for the Day of Atonement which is connected to the Feast of Trumpets, which is connected to Pentecost, which is connected to the Feast of Weeks, which is connected to the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is connected to Passover. All of which have meaning and connection to The Gospel.
