The Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah: An Intimate Understanding of Its True Meaning

What is Yom Teruah (also known as the Feast of Trumpets), and what is its significance?

We will dig deep into the truth of ELOHIM’s word as it relates to Yom Teruah.Yom Teruah is the fifth of the seven appointed times that YAHUAH instructed His people to keep perpetually.Its meaning is a day of shouting or blasting, and it is commonly called the day of Trumpets because we are commanded to blow the Trumpets, the Shofar.In the book of Leviticus 23:23-25, we are told, 23 “And ELOHIM 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 ELOHIM.”Yom Teruah is a day of rest and blowing trumpets; it is a memorial or a remembrance, a Feast that points to the return of the Messiah.

Look at 1 Thessalonians 4:16; it says, “For Messiah himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of ELOHIM; and the dead in YAHUSHUA shall rise first.”Notice that He comes with a shout and the sound of a trumpet.Those two things are directly connected to Yom Teruah. We see that the spring Feasts were directly related to His first coming. YAHUSHUA died on Passover as the Lamb of YAHUAH, He resurrected on First Fruits, as the First Fruits of the resurrection, and He sent the Holy Spirit on Pentecost (or Shavuot in Hebrew).It makes sense that the fall Feasts would be likewise connected to His return.

Trumpets are also used to sound a battle cry. When Messiah returns, He will come with an army to slay His enemies. Trumpets were also used to announce the king, and when YAHUSHUA returns, He will be coming as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
