Let us take a look at the Memorial of the Blowing of Trumpets. Let's go back to Leviticus the 23rd chapter and pick this up. Leviticus 23:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 24 Speak unto the children of Israel, 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. 25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
This day is a High and Holy Sabbath, no servile work is to be done, and you must have a Holy gathering. We are no longer under the sacrificial law so, we don't have to do the sacrifices. We will go into Revelations the 8th chapter to see what the trumpets represent.
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. There will be seven angels blowing trumpets and each time a trumpet is blown a vial of wrath will be poured out.
Revelation 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Each time an angel blows a trumpet a catastrophic event will take place on the earth. Let us take a look at some of the things that will happen when a trumpet is blown. We will go to Matthew the 24th chapter. Most people within the so-called Christian community claim the Lord will return and it will be a secret. They also state the Lord will sneak them off the earth and take them into the third heaven. The Bible doesn't support this false hood. When the Lord returns everyone will see Him. Jesus, in Matthew 24 also says that a time will come on the earth that He calls the great tribulation. Many people have some pre-conceived notions what the Lord will do when he returns. All you have to do is read the book it will tell you exactly what's on the Lord's mind. There are no mysteries in the Bible, you are just uninformed. The Lord said He revealed everything unto His Prophets.
Now let's take a look at what is going to happen when the Lord returns. Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
The book states immediately after the tribulation the sun will be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Does that sound like a secret? Notice something? It is the same time that Peter and Joel spoke about, they called it the Day of the Lord. Take a look at His coming and notice who will see Him.
Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Notice what the book says? After the sun goes out, the moon turns to blood, and the stars fall, then you shall see the sign of the Son of Man in heaven coming with power and great glory. And who will see Him, and why are they mourning? The book states ALL the tribes of the earth will mourn. All means all! Does that sound like a secret? No! They will be mourning because in the prophet Habakkuk it states the Lord will invade the earth with His troops. In Revelation, the book states the blood will be up to the horses bridle. Isaiah says the mountains are going to be melting like blood. Jeremiah says the slain of the Lord will be from one end of the earth until the other. It is time to mourn don't you think? Jesus isn't coming to speak softly unto you this time, He is coming as a warring God in His full strength.
Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Notice what's being said. At the sound of the trump then He will gather his elect, from one end of the earth to the other. The earth is also called heaven. This is the last trump. The Lord will have many many things going on at the same time. Let's see some of the other things that will take place on this Last Trump. Let go to I Corinthians the 15th chapter.
I Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, We shall not all die, but we shall be changed. This is the resurrection of the just. The second resurrection will take place a thousand years later. But, for those in the first resurrection when will this change take place?
I Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
The first resurrection will take place at the last trump and also the deliverance of Israel will take place.
I Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, and then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. Why is death swallowed up in victory? When you become an immortal you can not die any more. It also states in the Book of Revelation, death and hell will be thrown into the lake of fire, which simply mean, after judgment, no one will die any more. The ones that are cast into the lake of fire will also be alive. They will also be immortals, burning for eternity.
This is why we observe The Memorial of the Blowing of Trumpets. It is to remind us what will take place prior to the Lord's return, and also what he will do when He arrives. If you are on the wrong side of the fence the trumpets will be to your hurt. If you are on the right side of the fence, you will become a member of the God family. I suggest sisters and brothers that you continue to read your Bibles and keep up with current events and you will see the Word of God unfold right before your very eyes.
