Leviticus 23:23-25 The Feast of Trumpets (Leviticus 23:23-25) Fifth, the Feast of Trumpets (Leviticus 23:23-25), which commemorated either the creation, which is supposed to have been finished at this time of the year, or the Law at Sinai. At any rate, it was to remind the people of the seriousness of what was to follow, namely, the Day of Atonement, which came nine days later. It was the herald of an approaching day. So will it be with the rapture of God’ s people when the trump of God shall sound, the dead in Christ shall rise, the living believers shall be changed, and together the raised dead and the changed living shall meet the Lord in the air (1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17). It is said that the Jews filled the time between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement with more good deeds than at any other time of the year. The blowing of the trumpets indicated the beginning of the Jewish New Year which was the beginning of the seventh month. This does not mean that trumpets were not blown on other occasions (for at the introduction of almost every new event there was a blowing of trumpets), but that this was particularly true of this season of the year.
