Trumpets in the Bible

In the tenth chapter of the Book of Numbers, it states that Yahuah instructed Moses to make two trumpets made of silver for the purpose of guiding and directing the people of Israel in the wilderness. They were to be blown by the priests to call them to assemble, when they were to break camp and move to a new location, to proclaim the beginning of festivals and new months, and to alert them during times of war. The trumpets were to be used in different ways and with different number of blasts to indicate to the camps what Yahuah wanted them to do accordingly.

Numbers 10:1 And the Yahuah spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps. 3 When they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 4 But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you. 5 When you sound the advance, the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey. 6 When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys. 7 And when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the advance. 8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an ordinance forever throughout your generations. 9 “When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before Yahuah your Elohim, and you will be saved from your enemies. 10 Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be a memorial for you before your Elohim: I am Yahuah your Elohim.”

The priests were to blow the silver trumpets when it was necessary to get the attention of the people at certain specific times. According to how the trumpets were blown and the number of blasts, the people would know what the sounds meant and then act accordingly.  In other words, the Silver Trumpets served as an effective and loud communication system to proclaim the will of Yahuah to the people. When they heard the trumpets and the number of blasts, the people would automatically know what the occasion was and what they were to do.

The Hebrew word for trumpets is ‘chatzotzerah.’ The silver trumpets could only be blown by the priests  and were used to call the people to gather at the door of the tabernacle of meeting (10:3) or for setting the camps in motion to move out (10:5-6). They were also to be used in battle against their enemies as an alarm or warning system, and to urgently with a loud noise of trumpets, seek Yahuah’s help in time of warfare. “And you will be remembered before Yahuah your Elohim, and you will be saved from your enemies” (Numbers 10:9). Also, they were to be blown in their appointed feasts and at the beginning of their months when they offered their burnt offerings and peace offerings (10:10).

Description of the Silver Trumpets

“Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work”. (10:2)

The two silver trumpets were crafted from a precious metal (silver) indicating that they were to be of high quality, as they would be used for Yahuah’s special purposes. They were not like the shofar which was made from a ram’s horn used at certain times according to Yahuahs’ purposes as well. But the silver trumpets were made of a fine metal, and they likely were very loud and had a very distinct musical tone. Because these instruments were made of silver, they were beautiful and were shining reflections of Yah’s beauty. The quality and craftsmanship of the instruments showcased the importance Yahuah placed on the use of the silver trumpets in directing and communicating His instructions to His chosen people as a nation. 

Following is from Bible Hub Topical Encyclopedia:

Purpose and Function: The silver trumpets served multiple functions within the Israelite community. Here is a list of functions specifically:

1. Calling the Assembly: The trumpets were used to gather the congregation of Israel. When both trumpets were sounded, the entire assembly was to gather at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting (Numbers 10:3).

2. Directing the Camps: The trumpets signaled the movement of the camps. A single blast would indicate that the leaders of the tribes were to set out, while a different signal would direct the entire camp to move (Numbers 10:5-6).

3. Warfare: In times of war, the trumpets were sounded as a call to arms and as a reminder of Yahuah’s presence and deliverance. “When you enter into battle in your own land against an adversary who is oppressing you, you are to sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before Yahuah your Elohim and be delivered from your enemies” (Numbers 10:9).

4. Festivals and Sacrifices: The trumpets were also used during times of rejoicing, such as festivals and the beginning of months, as well as during burnt offerings and peace offerings. This use of the trumpets was a way to celebrate and acknowledge Yahuah’s provision and blessings (Numbers 10:10).

In the instruction in regard to war, the Israelites were also given two promises at the sound of the silver trumpets. In Numbers 10:9 we read: “you are to sound short blasts on the trumpets, (1) And you will be remembered before Yahuah your Elohim, (2) and you will be saved from your enemies”.

In the book of Leviticus, chapter 23, Yahuah instructed Moses about the Feast of Trumpets and how to keep it. This is what Yahuah told Moses in regard to the keeping of this special feast day:

Leviticus 23:24 “And Yahuah spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the people of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation. 

This verse is a command to keep the Feast (or Day) of Trumpets and how to keep it, but it does not tell us why or the meaning of the day, but it does give a hint. Yahuah calls it a “memorial” in this verse. But what is it a memorial of?

The Hebrew word for “memorial” is zikkaron (Strong’s #2146) and it means: memorial, remembrance from zakar: a memento (or memorable thing, day or writing) — memorial, record. (Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance)

This feast day is introduced, or described, as “a memorial of blowing of trumpets” literally, “a remembrance by teruah,” (the word teruah is a Hebrew word meaning a loud blast or shout). Yahuah does not explain what the memorial is directly, but by studying events of the past when the trumpets were blown, compared to events of what is going to happen in the future when trumpets will be blown, we begin to see why this Feast Day is so significant and what it could be pointing to.

From what is written about the Feast of Trumpets, it is described as some type of memorial. The blowing of trumpets on that holy day was meant to help Israel remember something, but Leviticus 23 in its instruction to keep it, doesn’t really tell us what they were to remember. So we need to search the Scriptures to find other verses that talk about the need for the people to remember certain things, and also, times when Yahuah says He will remember certain things.

With the other biblical festivals, we are basically told what they were about. When reading the instructions to observe the other Biblical Festivals, we find Yahuah wanted Israel to remember the Exodus experience during the Spring Feasts.  The yearly Passover reminded Israel that Yahuah “passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses’” (Exodus 12:25-27). The eating of unleavened bread during the week-long Feast of Unleavened Bread helped Israel remember that “with a strong hand Yahuah has brought you out of Egypt” (Exodus 13:3-10). In keeping the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost, Yahuah wanted Israel to “remember that you were a slave in Egypt” (Deuteronomy 16:10, 12).

Then there are the Fall Feasts. The Day of Atonement and its associated Jubilee year, reminded Israel, “I (Yahuah) brought (Israel) out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahuah your Elohim” (Leviticus 25:8-10, 55). And the goat ceremony conducted on that day, symbolizes the binding of Satan (Azazel) and putting him away (Revelation 20:1-3).  Finally, living in temporary dwellings (tabernacles or booths) for one week during the Feast of Tabernacles, reminded Israel that Yahuah “made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt” (Leviticus 23:42-43).

A feast day of trumpet blowing on the first day of the seventh month may have been another way to help Israel remember the times that the trumpets were used while wandering in the wilderness.  Not only were the children of Israel to remember something, but this day and the blowing of the trumpet was also to be a memorial or bringing to remembrance to Yahuah of something very important, in fact so important that the destiny of mankind hangs on the fact that Yahuah is going to remember this thing.

Going back to Numbers 10:9 again, we read : And you will be “remembered” before Yahuah your Elohim, and you will be saved from your enemies. In Numbers 10, Yahuah tells Israel during a time of war when they “sound an alarm with the trumpets,” He would remember and save them “from their enemies” (verse 9).

But also there would be other occasions when Yahuah tells Israel that on their days of gladness and “appointed feasts and at the beginnings of your months (The Feast of Trumpets is an appointed feast as well as the beginning day of a new month), you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. They shall be a reminder of you before your Elohim, I am Yahuah your Elohim” (verse 10).

So we have two separate places where the blowing of trumpets is a reminder or memorial before Yahuah, either during war time or during a Holy Feast Day.

Each of the Feast Days depict a symbolic aspect of Yahuah’s Plan of Salvation, either looking back at significant events, or looking forward to significant future events. Passover depicts the passing over of the first born of those who have the blood of the lamb; Days of Unleavened Bread depict that after we have the blood of the lamb (we are forgiven of our sins) that we are to put leaven (sin) out of our lives.

Pentecost depicts the Marriage Covenant being offered to and accepted by the people of Israel and the terms were given on that day in way of the Ten Commandments.

Let’s read what happened on the Day of Pentecost that the Israelites kept after coming out of Egypt. 

Deuteronomy 19:1 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. 2 For they had departed from Rephidim, had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before the mountain.

3 And Moses went up to Yahuah, and Yahuah called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: 4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

7 So Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which Yahuah commanded him. 8 Then all the people answered together and said, “All that Yahuah has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to Yahuah. 9 And Yahuah said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.”

So Moses told the words of the people to Yahuah.

10 Then Yahusha said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. 11 And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day Yahuah will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. 13 Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.”

14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives.”

16 Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. 17 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with Yahuah, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because Yahuah descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and Yahuah answered him by voice. 20 Then Yahuah came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And Yahuah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

So we see the huge part the trumpets played in the delivering of the Ten Commandments to the children of Israel and the entering into a Covenant with Yahuah. It’s as if Yahuah wanted the loud sound of the trumpet blasts to be associated with the proclaiming of the Commandments which where an integral component of the Marriage Covenant that Yahuah made with the children of Israel on that day and the children of Israel accepted the terms of the Covenant.  

“So Moses told the words of the people to Yahuah.”

Isn’t it interesting that in the Book of Malachi, the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi concludes his book with a warning but also a promise from Yahuah.  First, Yahuah  warns His people to REMEMBER the Law of Moses. 

Malachi 4:4 “REMEMBER the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,With the statutes and judgments.

The promise after the command to remember His Law, is that Yahuah is going to send His prophet just before the great and terrible day of Yah.

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Yahuah. 6 And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

These two special events (the giving of the Ten Commandments (and thereby entering into a Covenant) in Horeb and the great and dreadful day of Yah) are both associated with the loud sound of trumpets!

Now, let’s look at some prophetic events that are prophesied to happen in the future that Yahuah wants His people to remember. The feasts are full of symbolism, each one depicting a particular aspect of Yah’s plan of salvation, with the succession of events all leading to the redemption of mankind and the creation of the new heavens and new earth.  By examining the use of trumpets in the Bible through the lens of the new covenant, we can gain a better understand of the meaning of the Feast of Trumpets and what it truly looks forward to, including what Yahuah may want us to remember each year during this festival. We will now look at three uses of trumpets in connection to Yahuah’s second coming.

What the Bible Says About the Meaning of the Silver Trumpets

Symbolism of the Silver Trumpets

The silver trumpets in ancient times were used as a means of divine communication and order. They were a means by which Yahuah directed His people, ensuring that the community moved in unity and obedience to His commands. Also, the sound of the trumpet was a reminder of Yahuah’s covenant with Israel and His ongoing presence among them.

In the New Covenant we are told that those who believe and follow Yahusha are the Israel of Yah. 

Galatians 3: 26 For you are all sons of Yahuah through faith in Yahusha. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Yahusha have put on Messiah. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Yahusha Messiah 29 And if you are Yahuah’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Galatians 3:5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— 6 just as Abraham “believed Yahuah, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.

These verses tell us that it is no longer the Hebrew blood line that counts as being the children of Israel, rather it is our faith and obedience to the Way of Yahusha that makes us the children of Abraham and therefore the inheritors of the promises made to him.  The Israel of Yah who are in Messiah are counted for Abraham’s seed because of their faith.  So what do the silver trumpets have to do with those who are in Yahusha Messiah? 

Metaphorically, the trumpets of ancient times can be seen as a precursor to the eschatological themes found in the New Testament, where trumpets are associated with end times and the return of Yahusha Messiah and the final gathering of Yahuah’s people (1 Thessalonians 4:16, Revelation 8-11). The use of trumpets in both the Old and New Testaments highlights their role as instruments of divine proclamations and warnings.

Throughout the Book of Revelation, trumpets are used to sound the alarm of something significant that is about to happen and also while in the process of happening. In chapter 4 of Revelation there are seven seals, and within the seventh seal, there are seven trumpets that are to be blown during the day of Yahuah. Each trumpet will pronounce a specific judgment that will effect the people and the earth. They will intensify as each subsequent trumpet is blown.  At the seventh trumpet something of great magnitude will happen:

Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Yahuah and of His me, and He shall reign forever and ever!” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before Yahuah on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped Yahuah, 17 saying: “We give You thanks, O Yahuah Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned. 18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

The Feast of Trumpets then is a memorial of this time when the fulfillment of all the promises of the Messiah coming to reign on earth will finally take place. The Son of Yahuah will come in all His glory to take His rightful place on earth, to take over all the kingdoms of the world, and will be King over all for ever more. This will all occur at the great and magnificent sounding of trumpets in the heavens.

Those who have put their trust in Yahusha as their Savior, and have made themselves servants of Yahuah their Father and who REMEMBER His laws to keep them as instructed in His Word, will be REMEMBERD by Yahuah and He will save them from their enemies, with the last enemy being “Death”.  (1 Corinthians 15:26, 55)

He will remember His Covenant and do what He has promised to do throughout the Bible. In his letter to Timothy Paul states that Yahuah cannot deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13), which says “if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.” This verse is contained in a passage where Paul is encouraging Timothy to “share in suffering as a good soldier of Yahusha Messiah” (2 Tim. 2:3) and to not get entangled in civilian pursuits. This is saying, that even if we are unfaithful, Yahuah remains faithful. He is dependable and steadfast. His character does not change. He cannot deny His own nature. He is going to do what He says He is going to do. He made a Covenant with mankind right from Genesis 3:15 and He is going to fulfill His part.

When Paul says that Yahuah cannot deny Himself, it means Yahuah is consistent. His attributes do not change. He does not contradict Himself or go back on His promises.

Numbers 23:19 declares, “Yahuah is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?” Yahuah always acts in accordance with who He is. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (See also Hebrews. 13:8).

Secondly, Yahuah cannot deny Himself because He is truth. He is the essence of truth. There is no falsehood or deception in Him. Titus 1:2 says, “Yahuah, who never lies.” 2 Samuel 7:28 affirms, “O Yahuah Elohim … your words are true.” Yahuah speaks only truth because He is truth. Yahuah denying Himself would be antithetical to His nature.

Third, Yahuah’s faithfulness stems from His immutability. He does not change like shifting shadows (James 1:17). There is no variation or shifting in Yahuah (James. 1:17). He established His Covenant with an oath to demonstrate its unchanging character (Hebrews 6:17). He keeps His promises and fulfills what He spoke long ago (Joshua. 23:14). His plans stand firm forever and His purposes last eternally (Psalm 33:11).

I believe this is what the Feast of Trumpets is referring to when it says it is a day of remembrance, for it foreshadows that on a future Feast of Trumpets when Yahuah’s Covenant will come to fruition in all it’s fullness, when Yahusha comes to earth to save the world from the evil forces that have ruled since the time of Adam and Eve.

From a Biblical viewpoint, the Feasts of Trumpets holds eschatological significance. It is seen as a foreshadowing of the return of Yahusha, when the “trumpet of Yah” will sound, and the dead in Yahusha Messiah will rise (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). This feast is also a reminder of the need for readiness and vigilance in anticipation of Yahuah’s return.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For Yahuah Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of Yahuah. And the dead in Yahusha will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet Yahuah in the air. And thus we shall always be with Yahuah.

Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

For modern day believers, the silver trumpets serve as a reminder of the importance of listening for Yahuah’s direction and responding in obedience. They also emphasize the need for communal worship and the celebration of Yahuah’s faithfulness and deliverance.

The blowing of trumpets, is central to this feast. The trumpet sound serves multiple purposes: it is a call to repentance, a reminder of Yahuah’s sovereignty, and a herald of significant events. The sound of the trumpets is a spiritual wake-up call, urging the people to examine their lives and return to Yahuah.

Joel 2:1 Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the Lord is coming, For it is at hand: 2 A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, The like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them, Even for many successive generations.

The Feasts of Trumpets, with its rich symbolism and profound spiritual implications, continues to be a time of reflection and renewal. It calls believers to remember Yahuah’s past acts showing His presence and intervention; to repent and seek His face, and to look forward with hope to the fulfillment of all His promises.

Historical Context

When Adam and Eve disobeyed Yahuah’s clear directive to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Yahuah pronounced a curse on Adam and his descendants that they would be under the rule of  Satan for a season of time, but the curse also contained a promise. It was the promise that Yahuah would one day send the Messiah to die for the sins of all humanity, that mankind might be saved if they would accept Yahusha’s atoning sacrifice for their sins and then live in accordance with Yahuah’s WAY of life for evermore. The promise included the fact that Satan would bruise Messiah’s heel (at the time of the crucifixion and death of Yahusha) but that the Messiah Yahusha would some day have the ultimate victory and would bruise (break) Satan’s head.

The Hebrew word for bruise is shuph (Strong’s #7779) and means break, bruise, cover, to overwhelm.(Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance)

Throughout history and throughout all generations mankind has forgotten and turned away from their Creator. In Deuteronomy, Yahuah gives us a warning about keeping His laws and way of life. If we will remember to do that, we will be blessed in our lives, and as a community the land would be blessed. But if we forget that it is Yahuah who gives us our blessings and turn from Him and forget to do His commandments, we will surely perish and be destroyed.

Deuteronomy 8:1 “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which Yahuah swore to your fathers. 2 And you shall remember that Yahuah your Elohim led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. 3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of Yahuah. 4 Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. 5 You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Yahuah your Elohim chastens you.

6 “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Yahuah your Elohim to walk in His ways and to fear Him. 7 For Yahuah your Elohim is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; 9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10 When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless Yahuah your Elohim for the good land which He has given you. 11 “Beware that you do not forget Yahuah your Elohim by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, 12 lest—when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; 13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 14 when your heart is lifted up, and you forget Yahuah your Elohim who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty rock; 16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end— 17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’

18 “And you shall remember Yahuah your Elohim, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may [h]establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 19 Then it shall be, if you by any means forget Yahuah your Elohim, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of Yahuah your Elohim.

So, Again, What is the Feast of Trumpets?

It is a memorial of blowing of the trumpets; a remembrance of the great trumpet of Yahuah that He sounded on the day that He entered into a Marriage Covenant with the children of Israel. This day reminds us that we are to stay faithful to Yahuah’s Covenants (now the New Covenant) and to celebrate the accomplishment that Yahuah will do to bring about the complete return of His people to embrace His law and the whole Word of Yahuah once again.

The memorial of the blowing of trumpets is a memorial of all of Yahuah’s Covenants and His Promise to remember them. All these events center on what Yahuah has promised and on what He has done for humanity over the years of man on earth since the sin of Adam and Eve. Yahuah’s promise is about the culmination and fulfillment of all people turning back to Yahuah when He sends His son to set up His Kingdom, and ultimately after the Millennium, when all mankind (all those who repent and commit to sin no more) have been turned back to their Creator and His way of life when He is going to make a New Heaven and New Earth. It stands for completion; an end and completion of the Plan of Salvation for humanity.

Mary prophesied of the purpose for the Baby that would come from her womb and how it was a fulfillment of the promise to the people of Israel (and those who would become believers, therefore being accounted the same as the Israel of Yahuah (Galatians 6:16 Romans 9:6-8). She even states in this passage that He is the promised Messiah spoken by all the prophets, and it is because Yahuah remembered His Holy Covenant that He made to our ancestors, that this Son would save us from our enemies. Who is our most adamant enemy? It is Satan and all his minions that have oppressed mankind since the rebellion of Adam and Eve and became the god of this world as a result of their rebellion. Mankind’s ultimate enemy is death and that too will be defeated in the end.

Luke 2:68 Blessed be Yahuah Elohim of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;7 0 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

When is this going to happen in all of its fullness? It will be at the return of our Savior Yahusha at the sound of a great trumpet! The Feast of Trumpets is a reminder that Yahuah will remember His covenant with mankind and take over the world from the hand of our number one enemy and bring about restoration and righteousness to fill the earth once again.

The beginning of the next phase of the plan of Yahuah will start during the Main Fall Harvest symbolized by the Feast of Tabernacles. Yahuah will begin the work of delivering and saving the “rest of the dead” (Revelation 20:5, 12-13); all those who have died during this present evil age who had not been called during their physical lifetimes. He will remove the veil from off of their eyes and He will give them a new heart with His Covenant written within them and they too will become the Family of Yahuah just like He has done with the spiritual nation of Israel (Gentiles and Israelites alike whosoever have grafted themselves into the olive tree by their belief) during the first six thousand years and also in the Millennium of all those who repented of all of their sins, committed to sin no more and entered the New Covenant with Yahuah.

When the New Heavens and the New Earth have come down from heaven and when the whole earth has been restored and all those who have repented and have entered into the Family of Yahuah, is when the work of saving mankind (all those who ultimately choose to believe and repent of their sins) will be finished. Satan will be removed once and for all and will no longer have influence of the people. It is a time of remembering what Yahuah has done through His Son Yahusha Messiah beginning with the promise to send the Messiah in Genesis at the very beginning of man’s sin in the Garden. It is about Yahuah’s Covenants with Noah, then Abraham, then the children of Israel and then the Davidic covenant. All of the covenants are tied to each other and make up of the overall plan and purpose of what Yahuah is going to do to bring about salvation for all people.

It was Joshua who was given the command to have his men and priests march around Jericho with trumpets for seven days, and at the end of the seven days the walls of Jericho came tumbling down, that said at the end of his life when he had accomplished all that Yahuah had given him to do: that all of Yahuah’s promises had come to pass, not one of them had failed.

Joshua 23:14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which Yahuah your Elohim spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.

On the future day Day of Trumpets, the true day in which this feast depicts, we will be able to look back and say the same, for Yahuah will have fulfilled all of His promises and will have kept all of His Covenants, not one of His promises had failed.

“They Shall Be My People and I Will be Their Elohim”

The blowing of trumpets can also be about much joy and rejoicing. When David brought the ark of the covenant back to Jerusalem to set it in the tent he had prepared for it, there was much rejoicing, singing, praising Yahuah to the sound of trumpets.

1 Chronicles 15:28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Yahuah with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

That day David composed a song that he gave to Asaph to have sung as a commemorative of the momentous event that had happened: the return of the Ark of the Covenant. The theme of the song was: “Give thanks unto Yahuah, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Yahuah.

This is what I believe it will be like on the day of Trumpets, the day that the Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets commemorates. This song of David was sung along with the blowing of the trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant in celebration of bringing the Ark home. Here again the trumpet is connected to the Covenant of Yahuah (which the Ark represented). This day, and the celebration that took place on this day, was because of what Yahuah had done for David and the children of Israel.

David was not only king of Israel, he was also a prophet. The song he composed is also looking forward as a prophecy of the victory that will take place in Zion when Yahuah has final victory over Satan and he is no longer able to torment and oppress the people any longer and the Covenant will once again be established over the whole world and all peoples will walk in the laws of Yahuah. It will be a time of rejoicing and great celebration just like in the time of David when the Art of the Covenant was brought back to the land of Israel. Some day soon, Yahuah’s Covenant will return to the land of Israel and from there will go forth unto to all other nations.

1 Chronicles 16:4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Yahuah, and to record, and to thank and praise Yahuah Elohim of Israel: 5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals; 6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of Yahuah. 7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank Yahuah into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

This is David’s song about Yahuah’s marvelous works and of His wonders:

1 Chronicles 16:8 Give thanks unto Yahuah, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the nations.

The Last Enemy Destroyed And Our Final Victory 

1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to Yahuah, who gives us the victory through our Messiah Yahusha HaMashiach. 55 “O Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?” 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of Yahuah, knowing that your labor is not in vain in Yahuah.

The Feasts of Trumpets, with its rich symbolism and profound spiritual implications, continues to be a time of reflection and renewal. It calls all the people of the world to remember Yahuah’s past acts of momentous events, to repent and seek His face, and to look forward with hope to the fulfillment of His promises.

In these modern times, the sound of the trumpet is going out in the voices of those who are sounding the alarm for the people of the world to wake up, to repent of their sins, and get ready for the most spectacular and monumentous event of all history which is going to take place in the near future.

Will you hear and heed the sound of the trumpet, turn from your sins and the entanglements of this world? And then go forth as a child of Yahuah our Heavenly Father, forever as a member of His spiritual family enjoying eternal life with Him and His Son in the New Heavens and the New Earth…..a kingdom, wherein dwells righteousness….forever.
