What’s with the trumpets?First trumpet: Hail and trees burned upSecond trumpet: Water turned to bloodThird trumpet: Wormwood as a rebuke of disloyalty to GodFourth trumpet: Sun, moon and stars are the people of Israel itselfFifth trumpet: Death and the graveSixth trumpet: Sin and rebellion are sweet only for a short timeWhat’s with this ‘little book’? (Rev. 10:8–11)Seventh trumpet: The Temple of God is torn open
The Feast of Trumpets (aka Rosh Hashanah) is a festival of remembrance for Israel. It’s not a feast of the Chinese or of the Aztecs — unless they were to have joined the Commonwealth of Israel. Its celebrations and its warnings are for Israel to hear and understand. If you are serious about understanding the lessons of this feast and apply them to your eschatology, keep this truth in the back of your mind as you study.
What’s with the trumpets?
Trumpets in Scripture represent God’s prophets. More specifically, the “voice” of a trumpet is a symbol of prophets who proclaim God’s warnings and speak in His name with His authority. When we hear this kind of trumpet, we are hearing God’s voice instructing us to either come to Him or to perform some task in God’s service.
Back in the days when cities had walls around them for protection, watchman would walk on top of the walls, patroling them for signs of danger. When the watchman was alerted to dander, he would sound a trumpet to warn of an incoming army or other enemy. If the watchman or a prophet fails to issue a warning, than God holds them guilty of the blood (Ezekiel 33:1–9).
God has given us two ways to test a prophet: we look to see if his/her prophesies come true and we also look to see if he uses his prophetic office to lure people to worship a god other than YHVH. A prophet has to pass both tests for his/her word to be valid. This is important because sometimes a person may feel they have been given a word from God for us. They feel so strongly that they have the same duty to warn us and give what they believe is God’s instruction for us. My advise? Just take their instruction aside and test its veracity the way Torah tells us.
If we choose to ignore a warning from God, if we fail to repent and come back to Him, that is on us, not on Him, or on the person He sent us to warn us.
The phrases “end of days,” “Lord’s day” and the “Day of the LORD” are synonymous, and all are full of trumpet imagery. We also associate the book of Revelation with trumpets.
“I, John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet, saying, “Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to P...
