FEAST OF TRUMPETS

ROSH HASHANAH

The Feasts of the Lord

I. BIBLICAL BACKGROUND

(Leviticus 23:23-25) “Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24

‘Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, “In the seventh month on

the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blow-

ing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall not do any labo-

rious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the

LORD.”’” (NASB)

II. ROSH HASHANAH

Various names

A. Day of the Blowing of Trumpets

B. Day of Judgment

III. SCRIPTURAL OBSERVANCE

(Leviticus 23:23-25)

IV. JEWISH OBSERVANCE

A. Blowing the shofar symbolizes a call to remembrance and

repentance for the Jewish people.

B. Blowing the trumpet is to remind Jews of Israel’s covenant

relationship with their God.

C. Blowing the shofar is to confuse Satan on the day he ac-

cuses Israel of her sin.

(Zechariah 3:1-2)

D. Blowing the trumpet is to remind Jews of the eventual

regathering of Israel.

(Isaiah 27:12-13)

E. Blowing the shofar will signal the regathering of the

Jewish people from the Dispora back to Israel and the

holy mountain of Jerusalem.

F. Blowing the trumpet on earth on the first of Tishri in

heaven causes three books to be opened.

1. Book of the Righteous (Life)

2. Book of the Wicked (Dead)

3. Book of the In-between

G. Days of awe

H. Teshuvah (Repentance)

(2 Peter 3:9)

V. MESSIANIC SIGNIFICANCE

A. Israel’s regathering

(Isaiah 27:13)

(Jeremiah 32:37)

B. Rapture of the church

(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

(1 Corinthians 15:51-52)
