Question: What is Feast of Trumpets? The common name for Feast of Trumpets is Rosh Hashanah which means “Head of the Year.” Just like the head controls the body, our actions on Rosh Hashanah have a tremendous impact on the rest of the year. Yom Teruah is the Hebrew name for the Feast of Trumpets which is translated “day of shouting/blasting.” This feast commemorates the creation of the world and marks the beginning of the Days of Awe, a 10-day period of self-examination and repentance that ends with Yom Kippur. The shofar should be blown on Feast of Trumpets which is intended to call the listener to awaken from his sin and beware of the coming judgment. This is a time to look back at the mistakes of the past year and plan to make changes for the next year. It is a day of prayer, a time to ask the Almighty to grant us a year of peace, prosperity and blessing. But it is also a joyous day when we proclaim יהוה King of the Universe.
1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Yahshua died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Yahshua will Elohim bring with him. 15 For this we say to you by the word of יהוה, that we which are alive and remain to the coming of Adonai shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For Adonai shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Elohim: and the dead in Mashiach shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet Adonai in the air: and so shall we ever be with יהוה. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
