Feast of Trumpets

This festival represents the preaching of the gospel to the world by God’s faithful watchmen who have the responsibility of arousing the people from their spiritual slumber (Ezekiel 33:1–16). At this point, God has ceased to let mankind go his own way. The time has come to sound the alarm and attempt to save as many as we can—to save man from himself. Otherwise, man will succeed in self-destruction. The Day of Trumpets also symbolizes the resurrection of all who died in Christ and the “change” of all who will be living in Christ. This stunning event—the achievement of eternal life for a great multitude through birth into the Family of God— will occur simultaneously with the return of Jesus Christ at the last trump.
