Feast of Trumpets 2019: Why Trumpets?
“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 23:24–25). But why did God set aside a day for the blowing of trumpets? What should we learn from the association of trumpets with one of God’s annual Holy Days?
