What Is the Significance of the Feast of Trumpets?

What unusual distinction makes the Feast of Trumpets different from the other festivals and holy days of Almighty God? The blowing of 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” (LEVITICUS 23:4). This day – the Feast of Trumpets – commemorates in advance the prophesied awesome, dramatic, draconian events that will shake the earth – finally culminating in the majestic Second Coming of Jesus Christ!
