This is a one day feast. This year, 2010, it falls on 9 September.

(NIV)Leviticus 23:24 “Say to the Israelites: ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts.’”

This is the month of Tishri, the first month on the Jewish civil calender. The Hebrew name for the beginning of the year is Rosh Hashana. Trumpets are blown throughout the day. The purpose of this day is to prepare for the Day of Atonement, 10 days later.

The use of trumpets has also been associated with warfare and the second coming of the Messiah. It is written in Joel 2:1 “Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming.”

We are to give ourselves a wake up call and decide where do we stand in our relationship with the Lord.

Food for thought – There is this possibility that Yeshua was born during the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. More specifically, there is the possibility that He was born on the Feast of Trumpets. There is the possibility that Zechariah’s division did duty during June/July or Shavuot and Elizabeth became pregnant shortly after. When she was 6 months pregnant during Chanukka, Mary conceived. Three months later John was born during Passover and Mary was then 3 months pregnant. Six month later Yeshua was born during the Feast of Tabernacles.

Trumpets are blown to announce the coming of a king.

Trumpets are blown to call the Lord’s army to battle.

Trumpets are blown to call us to worship.
