The Feast of Trumpets, known in Hebrew as Yom Teruah (יוֹם תְּרוּעָה), is one of the biblical fall feasts ordained by God in the Old Testament. It holds deep prophetic meaning, especially concerning the end times and the return of Jesus Christ.

1. Biblical Origin of the Feast

The Feast of Trumpets is first mentioned in the Bible as a holy convocation:

Leviticus 23:23–25 — “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.”

Numbers 29:1 — “On the first day of the seventh month you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work. For you it is a day of blowing the trumpets.”

2. When Is It Celebrated?

The Feast of Trumpets is observed on the 1st day of the 7th month of the Hebrew calendar (Tishrei), typically falling in September or October on the Gregorian calendar. It will take place this year on September 24-25th, It also marks the Jewish civil New Year, known as Rosh Hashanah.

3. What Happens During the Feast?

4. Christian Prophetic Meaning

Many Christians see this feast as a prophetic symbol of Jesus’ return. The sound of the trumpet is strongly connected to the end times:

1 Thessalonians 4:16 — “The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God...”

1 Corinthians 15:52 — “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet... the dead will be raised imperishable.”
