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.

This day is a special command of God for the Israelites. Through the guidance of Moses, the Israelites were directed to observe the memorial of the blowing of the trumpet on first day of the seventh month each year. This is illustrated in the book of Leviticus 23:1, 4 and 24-25. It is therefore a command that all the descendants of Abraham who are todays Christian to observe this special day.

The covenant that was established by Moses is fulfilled through the life of Jesus Christ. The mankind establishes a new covenant through Jesus Christ (Luke 22:20) and the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ makes it more significant. The partaking of the Holy Communion is a constant reminder of the blood of Jesus and his second coming. It reveals that there are greater things to come and that we should live as per the teaching of Christ.

The second coming of Jesus Christ is remembered through this feast. It is a reminder that Jesus is coming soon to take the church and the chronicles of events that will take place. The blowing of the trumpet is highly used in the second coming to alert the Christians as was done during the time of Israelites. All the dead will be resurrected after the large sound of the trumpet and a new kingdom will be established on the earth.

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 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.
