THE FEAST DAYS OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL 777 The Feast of Trumpets [1st half] (Sept. 26th) The Feast of Trumpets is celebrated on the first day of Ethanim (Tishri) the seventh month in the sacred cal- endar (lev. 23:24) Trumpets were used by Yahwehs command in ancient Israel to: 1 Assemble the congregation to start journeying (Numbers 10:2) 2 Call the Leaders of Israel together (verse 4) 3 Sound the alarm for war and to signal an attack (verse 9, Judges 3:27, Job 39:25) 4 Accompany the praises of Israel at the appointed Feast and the days of the new moon (Numbers 10:10) 5 Proclaim the accession of kings (2 Sam. 15:10, 1 king 1:34, 2 kings 9:13) 6 Announce the Jubilee year of freedom (Lev. 25:9) The Feast of Trumpets is a memorial Sabbath, a day of special significance, designed to bring the faithful into remembrance before the Almighty. The two silver trumpets mentioned in Numbers 10 were types of the great originals in the heavens the TRUMPETS OF YAHWEH & HIS SON. Those divine originals are mentioned several times in the scriptures, and at their sounding, events of awesome importance have and STILL WILL take place. We read about the trumpets past and future use in: 1 The giving of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 19:14-19) 2 THE WORLD WIDE WARNING STILL SCHEDULED FOR THE FUTURE WHEN YAHWEH HIMSELF WILL BLOW THE TRUMPET (Zech. 9:14, Isaiah 18:3, Zeph. 1:14-16) 3 Signalling the events scheduled for the close of this age (Revelation chapters 8 & 9) 4 The Second Advent of Jesus Christ; at which the resurrection will take place (Matt. 24:31. 1 Cor. 15:51-52) A study of the texts listed above will show how Yahweh Himself has planned to use His heavenly trumpets again. HE AND HIS SON WILL BLOW THEM to gather His people as in days gone by; gather them for the climactic events scheduled to take place at the Messiahs return. Did he not say: Isaiah 18: 3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when He lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and WHEN HE BLOWETH A TRUMPET, HEAR YE. Zechariah 9: 14 AND THE LORD SHALL BE SEEN OVER THEM, AND HIS ARROW SHALL GO FORTH AS THE LIGHTNING: AND THE LORD GOD SHALL BLOW THE TRUMPET, AND SHALL GO WITH THE WHIRLWINDS OF THE SOUTH.
