Part #1 (The 3 Prophetic Trumpets of The LORD)!

**Part 1 This is Only For Those Who Want More Information For This Biblical Season** I was asked several great questions concerning The Fall Feasts of The LORD! This is only going to be for those who really want more information, because this is going to be long, because there is no short answer! The Feast of Trumpets is one of the most hotly debated subjects not only in Christianity, but in Judaism as well, because it’s filled with so many diversities of thoughts and beliefs concerning all the whats, where and whens, within this Biblical Festival! Brothers and sisters are so passionate about this subject that if we differ on any part of it, our personal dogma’s shuts the discussion down! As I said in in part 1 of this series: ‘With this piece of ancient teaching, it will make at least some of these controversial mysteries come to light! But let me say this: ‘In no way is this an exhaustive teaching! We’ll only be studying the first layer of this subject. And let me also say, this teaching is not in opposition to other’s viewpoints on this subject, especially where every view needs to be taken serious, and into consideration and searched out! But this teaching needs to be ADDED to the discussion before we can make a conscious decision concerning some of the mysteries surrounding the Feast of Trumpets! So my goal is to introduce (Ancient or Forgotten, Never considered, Never Heard of, pieces of evidence) so that our individual dogmas doesn’t shut down the conversation, which doesn’t help anyone, but my desire is to keep the channels of dialog open, which can help the complete body of Christ! There’s already enough division! The 3 Part series: (The 3 Prophetic Trumpets of The LORD), is meant to be ADDED to the discussion and NOT as a Proof Text (Greek Noun Orientated Philosophical Way of Study), but as (Verb Oriented Conceptual Biblical Hebraic Block Logic) of which ALL Scripture are written!
So instead of me simply giving my opinion, let me offer some more of this ‘Ancient or Forgotten, Never Considered, Never Heard of, pieces of evidence, so that each individual can be persuaded in his/her own mind! Wow, this is NOT going to be a SHORT Midrash! I could easily do another 10 Part series on this subject! But for our purpose, I’m only going to focus on The Feast of Trumpets! Scripturally, getting this Festival right was important because if the timing was wrong, it would make the most important Biblical day of the year wrong, ‘The Day of Atonement’, which according to Leviticus 16, consisted of 5 Atonements not just one! (1.) Atonement for the Holy of Holies. (2.) Atonement for the Tabernacle. (3.) Atonement for the Altar. (4.) Atonement for the Priesthood. (5.) Atonement for the people of the assembly. In other words, the Day of Atonement was The Day when everything and everyone were Renewed! Therefore if you get The Feast of Trumpets wrong, you could miss God’s Time of Renewal! One of the easiest and best ways to learn about The Feast of Trumpets and the purpose it is to serve, is to do a study of what it was called in the 1st century, ie; (1st Century Nicknames)! Hopefully this list of ancient Nicknames will help us answer some of the questions like: ‘The Resurrection of the dead and the Coming of Messiah’!
(1.) ‘Rosh HaShanah’- (The Head of the Year)-(Birthday of the World ‘Gen. 1’)
(2.) ‘Yom Teruah’- (The Day of the SHOUT) ‘Literally’ (The Day of the Great Awakening Blast)!
(3.) ‘Yom L’Adonai’- (The Day of the LORD)
The Apostle Paul connected The Feast of Trumpets to the Resurrection of the dead by using 2 of these ancient Nicknames while speaking to us Gentiles!
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a Shout (Teruah-Feast of Trumpets), 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!
Paul uses another Feast of Trumpets Nickname in the very next chapter!
1 Thessalonians 5:1-2
Concerning the ‘Times and the Seasons’ (Feasts-Moadim), brethren, you have no need that I should write to you… (There was no need to explain the Feasts of The LORD to the Church, because he never saw a time when the Church wouldn’t be observing them)
For you yourselves know perfectly that ‘The Day of The LORD’ (Feast of Trumpets) so comes as a thief in the night!
(The Shout’ and ‘The Day of The LORD’ are Acronyms for ‘The Feast of Trumpets)!
(1.) ‘Rosh HaShanah’- (The Head of the Year)-(Birthday of the World ‘Gen. 1’)
(2.) ‘Yom Teruah’- (The Day of the SHOUT) ‘Literally’ (The Day of the Great Awakening Blast)!
(3.) ‘Yom L’Adonai’- (The Day of the LORD)
(NEXT NICKNAME)
(4.) ‘Yom HaDin’- (The Day of Judgments)
The Sages of Israel taught that when the Shofar of The Feast of Trumpet sounded that it announced (The Day of Judgment), where ‘The Books were Opened’! Here’s their teaching from the Talmud, and notice that it written in the section of the Talmud for The Feast of Trumpets (The Day of Judgment):..
Talmud, Rosh HaShanah 16b-17a
‘It has been taught: The school of Shammai says: ‘There will be ‘3 Classes of Books Opened’, on the final Day of Judgment’! ‘The Book of ‘Wholly Righteous’. The Book of ‘Wholly Wicked’. And the Book of the ‘Intermediates’ (I won’t go into each a description of each Book, but they reveal to us why The Apostle John mentioned them in The Book of Revelation!
Revelation 20:12
I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God (Resurrected-According to Paul, The Feast of Trumpets), and ‘Books were Opened’! And another ‘Book was Opened’, which is ‘The Book of Life’ (The Book of the Wholly Righteous) And the Dead were Judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the Books (The 3 Books of Judgment-Talmud)!
I hope you see why this is a hotly debated subject! There’s just simply too much information to consider before we can become so dogmatic about what we think we know! That’s NOT my intension! Could that be the reason that Jesus said that it’s a time that ‘No Man Knows’! Well, I hope this basic information will help us consider and/or Re-consider at least some of our dogma and talking points! My hope is always be ready, for in an hour you think not, the Son of Man Comes! Amen!
