THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS – 1
ST DAY OF 7TH MONTH
We observe that Feasts of the Lord that are celebrated on one day on the calendar have a prophetic
fulfillment on that same calendar day. The Passover is on the 14th day of the first month: the prophetic
fulfillment (the death of Christ) occurred on the exact same day on the calendar. The same is true for
First Fruits (the resurrection of Christ) and Pentecost (the birth of the church). Seven-day Feasts are
prophetic of long periods of time, or ages. For example, the Feast of Unleavened Bread is prophetic of
the time in history when saints celebrate the Lord’s Supper.
The Feast of Trumpets occurs on one calendar day so assuming the pattern continues, its fulfillment
ought to be on one fateful calendar day.
Daniel’s 70th week is divided into two parts:
“He [the ruler who will come] will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven’ but in the
middle of that ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And one who causes desolation will place abomination on a wing of the temple until the end that is decreed is
poured out on him.” (Daniel 9:27)
The reinstatement of sacrifice and offering is what initiates Daniel’s 70th week. Service and worship
continues for three and a half years. Assuming the temple service and worship begins on the first day of
the first month, which is the first day of the Jewish religious calendar, it follows that temple sacrifice
and offering ends on the first day of the seventh month: the date of the Feast of Trumpets.
