The Feast of Trumpets: A Turning Point in History ucg.org

As depicted in Revelation, with seven trumpet blasts, the Feast of Trumpets represents the actual return of Jesus Christ to this earth –  establishing the Kingdom of God! With Old Testament prophetic ideas like a conquering Messiah from the Davidic line ruling with power and authority, this second return has been anticipated since Christ’s resurrection. Being that trumpets are perfect for attracting attention, the exciting anticipation of this day is captured perfectly through this symbolism. The apostle Paul said at the last Trumpet “the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air“. As a yet future event, Christ described in the New Testament what would precede His incredible return: The world would descend into a level of evil and sin not seen before. The result of this disobedient attitude would be worldwide catastrophic events. These events would crescendo at the return of Christ. Stated in Matthew, immediately after the tribulations of that day, the son of man will appear in Heaven And “He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other”. Today, God’s people keep this day and rehearse this pivotal moment in the plan of God.
