• A Feast Fit For A King - The Feast of Trumpets

The Feast of Trumpets is among the Festivals of God listed in Leviticus 23. It's all about announcing The King Is Coming. The Hebrew word "Feast" is more accurately translated as "Rehearsal." That seems pretty significant if we think about it. Let's read God's Word:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “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. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’”
Leviticus 23:23-25

When Yeshua, Jesus was came into the world (in the flesh), He kept the Feast of Trumpets along with the other people of Hebrew descent. After the death and resurrection of Jesus, the first-century Church continued in keeping it along with the other six Festivals mentioned in Leviticus 23.

The Feast of Trumpets teaches great lessons. If we try to understand its significant meaning, the Feast of Trumpets helps us understand the plan of Our Father for all mankind.

Today let's take a look at some important things and try to gain some perspective about Our Father's Timing and what He is trying to show us in His Feast, or Rehearsal, of Trumpets. Since Feast of Trumpets is today, let's take a look.:

1.) The Feast of Trumpets Is About God’s Time

The Feast of Trumpets represents the time when God will directly intervene in human affairs. It represents the time when Christ will return here on earth, not just as a Kind, Patient, Loving, Miracle Working Servant, but a Conquering King. Our Sacrificial Lamb Will Return As A Lion. That's exciting for us believers!

Let's take a look in Revelation:

Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” 🔥🙌
Revelation 11:15

2.) The Feast of Trumpets Is About The Hope of The Coming Kingdom of God

We live in a fast paced, fallen, and depressing world compared to the amazing things Our Father and Yeshua, Jesus have in store for us. The enemy and accuser is currently the ruler of this world (II Corinthians 4:4). When all hopes seem to fade Christ Yeshua, Jesus, will make a spectacular entrance. Of all the prophecies made in The Bible, perhaps the coming of Jesus for the second time is the most exciting. It will be the climax in the history of mankind.

3.) The Feast of Trumpets Serves As A Warning

In the time of the Israelites, the trumpet is used to sound a warning. Let's take a look at Numbers:

“When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets.”
Numbers 10:9

With the Feast of Trumpets, we are reminded that there will come a time when Our Savior, Yeshua Jesus Christ will return. It means that we must live our lives according to God’s will and purpose. Why? Because we know that all will answer accordingly for our lives in The Presence of God Our Father and Yeshua Jesus.

We can’t simply live a life of no accountability. We have A Higher Power, God Our Father. As believers, this can give us a sense of urgency that is prudent for our lives.

One day we will all stand before the Judgement Throne of God Almighty and give an account of our lives. The Feast of Trumpets serves as a call for us to stop living our way and begin living Our Father's Way.

4.) The Feast of Trumpets Is About Rejoicing

One reason trumpets were used in the ancient Israel was to serve as a festive sound. We read in God's Word:

“Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets… and they shall be a memorial for you before your God.”
Numbers 10:10

Also at the end of Chapter 8 that we read in Nehemiah yesterday, they are celebrating Trumpets. Let's see what God Uses His Prophet To Tell Us:

“Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.””
‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭8:10

While the events preceding the coming of Our King may be scary, The Feast of Trumpets is a day where we rejoice in Our King. We can be sure of The Hope that we have in Our Savior. As the world hears the seventh trumpet, all the followers of Our Father God will rejoice. We can know Our King Yeshua, Jesus, is coming and He won’t delay His return anymore!

From there, He will finally establish God’s Kingdom that will bring Peace, Blessings, and Prosperity to the world. Oh, imagine how Wonderful Life will be then!

5.) Christ Brings A Reward

“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.”
I Corinthians 15:52

In the end, when the loud sound of the seventh trumpet is heard, the dead in Christ will rise! Resurrection and Eternal Life Will Ensue! From there, they will meet the Our King and Savior in the air and will commence the establishment of God Our Father's Kingdom here on earth!

The Feast of Trumpets points to the very hope of mankind. This world may not end through apocalyptic nuclear warfare or catastrophic natural calamities as some people predict. Let's take a look at the words of Our Savior:

Jesus Christ, Himself said:

“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened”
Matthew 24:21-22

Before man destroys himself, Our King and Savior Yeshua, Jesus Christ will intervene. At the sound of the last trumpet, everyone will know that there is a God In Heaven Who Is Ultimately In Control. He is The Supreme, Almighty God Who Created Everything and at the same time, the God who we call Our Father.

Remember that the first century Church used the Old Testament as their basis for doctrine (II Timothy 3:16). So as we ponder The Mysteries of God Our Father today and His Feast of Trumpets, may we all gain insight, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, discernment, and Truth.

I know this is a huge topic and in no way could someone fit all of Our Father's Teachings into a single devotion. We have numerous passages that show us Our Father's meanings in His Festivals (Rehearsals) and I encourage anyone who is looking for deeper meaning to study in God's Word about His Holy Days and let Him Reveal His Wonderful Messages To You.

Let us end with The Words of Our King, in whom we blow our real trumpets or our spiritual ones when we give witness to Our Savior:

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near”
Luke 21:28

Happy Feast of Trumpets Everyone! May God Bless Each and Every One of You On The Other Side of This Screen!
