Trumpets a day of Memorial by Evelyn pointer

This sacred day is held on the 1st day of the month of Tisri. On this day the children of Israel were commanded to have a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation and Sabbath of rest on the first day of the seventh month. The trumpet is a symbol of God.

The trumpet is a symbol of the voice of God.

It is a day when we remember the promise of God and what he has done for us. The classes presented on the website will review over topics pertaining to the Feast of Trumpets: an in-depth analysis of Trumpets, the importance of remembering God, The Law of God, the Preaching of the Gospel as well as many as other topics

Day of Trumpets

God's church is different from the churches of the world. One difference is its High days, such as the 7th day Sabbath and the feast days. Our small church must order all of its services and high days in strict accordance to the scriptures. We have always been aware of the 7th day Sabbath and of keeping the Passover and why.

Until recently we didn't know how, why or when to keep the Feast of Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles.

A class was given on the new moon and showing it to be a day to come together to worship before God and to make an offering. All of our Feast Days and the Day of Atonement have a specific mean or prophesy pointing towards our salvation. Let us see what the day of Trumpets mean.

What is the day of Trumpets and when should we keep it? Leviticus 23:23-25, Psalms 81: 1-10.

Does the Lord Distinguish between the day of Trumpets and the new moon? Numbers 29: 1-6. Pay particular attention to verse six. The offering for the new moon of the 7th month was in addition to the offerings for the Day of Trumpets, in such a way it was distinguished high and above the new moon of every other month and was called a Sabbath of rest.

What did God command Israel concerning trumpets? Numbers 10: 2. Let us look into the history about the relevance of the trumpets and when it was blown.

The Priests were the ones ordained to blow the trumpets. Numbers 10:8. The trumpet was to be blown in times of war so that the Lord would hearken to Israel and fight for them. Numbers 10:9. It was also blown over all burnt offerings, peace offerings in the Feast days, solemn days and the New Moons for a memorial to the Lord Numbers 10:10.

In history recall the trumpets that were blown during times of war.

They were blown during the battle of Jericho and when Gideon defeated the Midianites. They blew the trumpets also in times of gladness, when David brought the altar to Mount Zion and when Solomon dedicated the temple.

Looking forward we can see that the trumpet is ordained by God, and as the voice of God will be blown for the same reason it was blown by our Fathers; to call to assemble the people, to warn the people, and to make war against the enemy.

What is the last and general warning that is given to the people and when does it occur? Revelations 14:6-8. Note that we have a time for this; it is after the 144,000 is on Mount Zion and before the fall of Babylon.

Let us continue to explore this warning cry. Ezekiel 33:1-7. Jeremiah 6: 16-17. Is 52:11-12. Joel 2:1.

•Concerning the call to assemble or gathering to gather

What is the promise that God made to his people that have been scattered over the earth? He will assemble them in the last days. Ezekiel 11: 16-17. Micah 2:12.

•How does this relate to the blowing of a trumpet? Is 27: 12-13. Jeremiah 4:5-6.

Recall the job of the watchman in Ezek 33:1-7, what is also the job of the Watchman? Not only to warn the people but to call to assemble the people. Jeremiah 31:6-9. Isaiah 52:7-8.

•The watchmen stand with Christ and are an ensign in the mountain. Isaiah 18:3, Is 5:26, Is 11:10-13.

•What other people are called to assemble to God? I Corinthians 15: 52.

In conclusion, let us celebrate the day of trumpets in full knowledge of its meaning. It is a prophesy of our salvation, when God warns the people and He calls them to assemble before Him whether they are alive or whether they are dead. It is a day of celebration, of rejoicing, looking forward to the glorious voice of the Lord calling us home. Finally let us read Ps 81:1-10 again.
