~ Jesus Christ and The Feast of Trumpets
~
Background ~ “Search the
Scriptures—they testify of Me” — Jesus Christ (John 5:39).
“And beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, Jesus explained to
them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures” (Luke 24:27). “Let no one judge you in food or in drink, or
regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the
substance is of Christ. Let no one
cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of
angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast
to the Head, from whom all the body [the
true Church of Jesus Christ], nourished and knit together by joints and
ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God” (Colossians
2:16-19).
The Scripture ~ … “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to
the children of Israel, saying: “In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall
have a sabbath-rest,
a memorial of
blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering
made by fire to the Lord”’” (Leviticus
23:23-25). …
note: Additional Scriptur3 for
your review is found in Numbers 29:1-6).
The Messiah ~ Jesus Christ, the Messiah said, “Immediately
after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will
not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of
the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will
mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory. 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” (Matthew
24:29-31).
Future Fulfillment ~ As
we can see from The Messiah’s words quoted in the prior section this will be
completed in the future when Israel is fully brought back into their land. (The Christian Church will have left earth
and be with Jesus Christ in heaven by this point in time.)
