The Feast of Trumpets, The Blowing Of The First Trumpet at the Opening of the 7th Seal

The Festival/Feast of Trumpets always occurs on the first day of the seventh month in The Creator's calendar, not in the Roman or Jewish calendars. The festival or fiesta of Trumpets pictures/symbolizes the end time blowing of the 7 Trumpets of the 7th Seal of the book of Revelation. Although the Jews and Muslims claim that the 7th month is the 1st month of the year, they are wrong. The bible is clear that the 7th month is the 7th month. Scripture never declares the beginning of the year in the Autumn, but rather in the Spring. The Feast of Trumpets not only pictures/symbolizes the blowing of the 7 end time trumpets, but also, the actual opening of the 7th seal and the blowing of the first trumpet will occur on the date of the Feast of Trumpets!

Lev. 23:24-25 Speak unto the children of Israel (which in the New Covenant time frame would now be all of spiritual Israel, the church), saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

Numbers 29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.

Nehemiah 8
:1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. 2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: 6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. 8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. 10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. 11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. 12 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.

Revelation 8
:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Revelation 9
:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

I am not posting the verses for the 7th trumpet here on this specific page, because that last trumpet blows on The Day of Atonement. Please see that article for the last trumpet.

How To Observe The Holy Days, including The Festival of Trumpets

"Remember" means to remember, recall, call to mind. The origin seems to lie in the idea of pricking, piercing, penetrating, to keep, to preserve. It is not something that you should allow yourself to forget to observe. It should not be just another ordinary day. It should not be a day where you just lay around and waste the day. It should not be just like any other day that you are off from work. It should be different from your normal routine. This is a day that is set aside and made different from the rest of the week/year. Genesis 2:3 (NASB) "Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made". He also ordained/sanctified the annual Holy Days.

• Light a 7 candle Menorah or 7 candles every 7th Day, Sabbath, Fiesta, Holy Day and all 8 nights of Hanukkah. Lev.24, Rev.2
• More Prayer than usual.
• Pre-service fellowship. Arrive early for fellowship.
• The Day of Trumpets is a commanded day of rest and a commanded day of assembly. Attend services with a congregation of non-Babylon true believers. If you do not have such a local congregation. Please assemble with us online. Your brothers & sisters from around the world are gathering together online & by phone for our services. Click here.
• Post services fellowship. Do not leave immediately. Stay for fellowship.
• Invite brothers/sisters in Christ to your private residence for more fellowship and meal.
• Worship music. Sing.
• Read bible. Study bible.
• Bible games.
• Visit true brethren who are sick or in the nursing home or hospital or jails/prisons; or visit the church elderly and shut ins. (This entire sentence is speaking of spending time with like minded believers who are not able to come to services.)
• Sit outside and enjoy God's creation and relax.
• Short nap is acceptable but do not sleep the day away.
• Greeting cards for get well, praying for you, etc.
• Write missionaries.

Things We Should Not Do on The Holy Days

Isa. 58:13 (NASB) "If because of the sabbath, you turn your foot From doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And call the sabbath a delight, the holy day of the LORD honorable, And honor it, desisting from your own ways, From seeking your own pleasure And speaking your own word, 14 Then you will take delight in the LORD, And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

The purpose of this "do not do" list is to be a generalized guideline for people to consider for their choices of what to refrain from on the sacred days. It is not meant to be a concrete list for everyone. Again this is just a generalized list which will not be true for everyone. But I do believe it will be true for most people.

• Do not go to the movie theater.
• Do not work pre-scheduled shifts. Regardless of the kind of employment. (Emergency workers such as police, doctors, fire fighters, etc can respond to a real and true emergency. But they cannot work a pre-scheduled shift.)
• Do not go to a tanning bed.
• Do not go hunting or fishing.
• Do not participate in sports. Do not watch sports. Do not toss a ball back & forth.
• Do not go golfing.
• Do not do laundry.
• Do not make up the bed. This was revealed to me by Jesus via a testimony of a sister in Jesus.
• Do not play video games.
• Do not be on internet for an extended period of time.
• Do not do exercises, lift weights, jog, go to the gym. (Medical exercises after knee surgery are acceptable. A causal walk is acceptable.)
• Do not read fictional books, novels, etc.
• Do not do homework, school assignments.
• Do not eat at restaurants. (You would be causing a service worker to serve you or work harder than if you had not arrived at the place of business) (Unless this is an emergency. You should have prepared ahead of time in advance if possible. But if you did not prepare ahead of time, for whatever reason, and you do not have food at home, and you are hungry, then yes, you can pull your ox out of the ditch and go eat. But this should not become a habit. You need to start planning ahead of time so you can just eat at home if possible. If you are out of town/state, it is acceptable to eat at restaurants if needed although you should try to make plans to make your own sandwiches, etc.)
• Do not order pizza, door service etc.
• Do not shop at any stores.
• Do not earn any money.
• Do not sell anything.
• Do not mow grass, wash car.
• Do not watch much television. (Some weather, news and educational programming is acceptable but should be restricted in time length. Restrict to mostly non-fiction only. But you can watch faith based Christian movies. These are general rules but there are sometimes exceptions to the rules.)
• Do not attend any parties except Holy Day celebrations. Do not host any parties except Holy Day celebrations.
• Do not go to any flea markets, yard sales.
• Do not create or make anything that will eventually be sold.
• Do not use public transportation, cabs, taxis, airplanes, buses, etc. (Because you would be employing a driver.) (Unless truly needed to attend services, although I am sure that a brother or sister could give you a ride.)
• You should avoid travel except for worship & assembly purposes and God's purposes. (Limit travel to worship services to 3 hours or less by car.)

Permissible

• Cook a meal (But do any possible prep work the night or day before.)
• Take care of pets.
• Take care of farm animals. Milk cows, feed animals, etc.

• Take care of children and family. (Not for money.)
• Walking (restricted length of distance and time.)
• Walk on beach to relax or enjoy nature.
• Purchase a drink or item from a machine. (The reason you usually cannot buy or sell is because you would be causing a person to actually serve you (work for you). In the case of a machine, there is no human working.)
• Fix a flat tire or other emergency mechanical work that cannot wait until tomorrow.
• Fix a heater during the winter time if the work cannot wait until tomorrow. (Not for money.)
