On the first day of the Jewish month of Tishri in the Fall, the Feast of Trumpets blasts its way into the new Jewish year. Today it is known as Rosh HaShana, the “Head of the Year”, even though it’s not really the start of the Biblical year at all, according to Exodus 12:2. The calendar year was supposed to start in the month of Passover in the spring, and the Feast of Trumpets comes at the beginning of the seventh month. Like all the other “Feasts of the Lord”, it is full of significance and meaning for us today, as well as prophetic meaning about what is to come.
Rosh HaShana is the first of the three fall holidays – the Feast Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. The ten days between the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, are called the “Days of Awe”, where people are encouraged to contemplate their position before God, and it’s a very special time in Israel.
Just as the Spring feasts of Passover, Firstfruits and Shavuot (or Pentecost) are all prophetically related to the death, resurrection and ascension of Yeshua, and the sending of the Holy Spirit, the Fall feasts pertain to his second coming. The Feast of Trumpets relates to the last trumpet that shall sound when he comes again in glory.

“Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-57)
