Some Useful Information About The Feast Of Trumpets

By Eric Wallace


This particular ceremony is a very important one in Jewish tradition. For ten days after the night of the feast of trumpets, practitioners would carry out various religious and spiritual acts. These were focused on proclaiming their love and faith in God and expressing sincere remorse and regret for all of their sins.

The season of autumn is one that holds three of the sacred festivals of feasts of the Jewish religion. This includes the one we are talking about here, which also goes by the name Rosh Hashanah. There are seven of these types of sacred commemorative events in a year, and they all hold different significance as to what they represent, but each one has to do with the ministry that Jesus Christ held in his days.

The shadow over the new moon hold special significance to this event, relating it to when Adam and Eve were tempted and subsequently banished from the Garden of Eden. One can expect this event to occur some time around October or September, but the dates vary as the lunar cycle is a difficult thing to be precise about. It is common practice for this event to last two days.

The traditional name of this celebration is Yom Teruah. The name of this is derived from a command in the Bible to blow a trumpet. In addition to this, the Lord commanded that at this time of the year in their Biblical calendar, His people should rest solemnly and remember things past in the midst of all that trumpet blowing.

On the Jewish civil calendar, the new year does not occur at the time you might normally expect it. Rather, their new year occurs at the time of this festival in the autumn. That's why a common name for this date is Rosh Hashanah, which in Hebrew literally means "Head of the Year".

In this fast paced culture and age that we live in, sometimes the hardest thing to do can be to just unplug and turn away from the mountain of work that's always piling up. During Rosh Hashanah, one of the important things to do is to not do any work at all. Instead, you spend your time thinking over your sins and connecting with God.

One of the big things that Rosh Hashanah is celebrating is the end of the agricultural year. As anyone who has worked on a farm will know, agriculture is hard labor. Knowing that harvest is done and you have time to rest is definitely cause of celebration.

A trumpet blasting can mean many things depending on the context, but as a Biblical reference, it means the coming of the Day of Judgement that we have all heard so much about. All of the seven festivals that the Lord has us carry has its own special significance. Judgement day is what this one signifies.
