Tonight at sundown, the Feast of Trumpets will begin, and with it the seventh month, the month of Tishrei, and the Sabbath - there is a lot to celebrate indeed this weekend :DThe Feast of Trumpets marks the beginning of the most sacred month in the biblical festival calendar, and so we should be preparing ourselves for this. The harvest is coming to an end, and the time is here for reckoning, feasting, and particular thankfulness.
If you wish to read up on the biblical background for the Feast of Trumpets, let me refer you to Lev 23:23-25 and Num 29:1-6.
If you wish to read up on instances in the Old Testament where trumpets play an important role, try the passage about the theophany on Mount Sinai (Exo 19:16 and 19), the destruction of Jericho (Jos 6:16), and the prophet's references to trumpets as warnings of judgment to come (Jer 4:5 and 6:1, Ezek 33:3).
In the New Testament, it may be a good idea to re-read Revelation, chapters 8 and 9. And while you are reading this, remember that Christ will only return at the blast of the LAST trumpet (1Cor 15:52), and that with a trumpet call, He will send out His angels to gather the elect (Mat 24:31).
Happy Feast of Trumpets to you all !
