Modern “jews” (not to be confused with Israel, the people of “I AM”) have made a civil calendar which is entirely different than the calendar of “I AM”.  Feast of Trumpets is the beginning of the modern jewish new year, in what is called the civil calendar.  They call it Rosh Hosanna.  It is presumably a commemoration of the time of the year that Adam was created and the same day on which Adam violated the commandment to not eat of the tree of life.  For Adam’s transgression, he was judged and from this the trumpets announce judgment.

“I AM” (Israel) declared that this time is the 7th month, but the jews call it the first month.

For purposes of this paper, we will follow what “I AM” (Israel) said and borrow from the historical aspects of the jewish contributions.  The most important aspect is that the Feast of Trumpets is the time of judgment.

The first day of the seventh month is a new moon day, declared by Israel (“I AM”) as an annual Holy Day. [Lev. 23:24-25 (en# 1), Numbers 29:1-6 (en# 2)]   It is a Sabbath (holy convocation) and no regular work is to be done.  Remember when “I AM” (Israel) commands us to set aside our daily tasks, he means a day of complete rest.  A commandment to treat a day as a holy convocation, is to gather with others of Israel (people who follow the teachings of “I AM”) to study and/or worship.
 
 

Notably, the Scripture is not as explicit about the purpose of Trumpets as it is with other Appointed Times.  But, it is certain to say trumpets announce something about to happen.  What follows this Appointed Time is the Day of Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles.  Both are great times.

It is a Jewish study that tells how it was on the day of Trumpets that Adam was judged for his transgession.  This is part of why the Jews of today call this the day of the new year, which is obviously contrary to the Scripture.  But, their contention is that it was also on this day that Adam was created.  Hence, this day is the beginning of a new era after the completion of creation.

The tale goes that "I AM" told Adam "As you were judged before me this day and emerged forgiven, so shall your children be judged before me on this day and emerge forgiven.
 
 

The Feast of Trumpets depicts the last days of this age.  The trumpet blown on this day signifies a separation from the people of the world.  The people of “I AM” (Israel) will be separated from the worldly people by the return of Yahshua (“Israel”), the Messiah, at the last trump [Matthew 24:31 (en# 3), 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (en# 4), Revelation 11:15 (en# 5)].  The wicked people of the world will suffer judgment to death at the battle of Armageddon, Revelation 16:13-21 (en# 6).

The Feast of Trumpets is observed each year by first watching for the new moon. When the crescent is seen, this is the beginning of the seventh scriptural month is noted.  The trumpet is blown and the assembled brethren worship “I AM” (Israel).

As on other feast days, the people of Israel (“I AM”) have a meal together.  This feast begins the 10 days of penitence that lead us to examine our lives in preparation for the remaining holy days.  Just as preceding the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread in the spring is a period of introspection, the Feast of Trumpets begins a time of self-examination in the fall.

The time of tribulation is announced by the sounding of trumpets.  The trumpets are identified as the voice of an angel or of “I AM”, or it is actually blown by an angel.  Each blown trumpet signifies an event. [1 Corinthians 15:52 (en # 7), Revelation 1:10 (en # 8), Revelation 4:1 (en # 9), Revelation 8:6&13 (en #10), Revelation 9:14 (en # 11)]

The sounding of trumpets as prophecied for the end times, signal the beginning of the end and shortly thereafter, or at the same time, is the return of Yahshua (Israel).

Remember the Jewish tradition claims this day is a day of forgiveness.  That being the case, the forgiveness of "I AM" (Israel) will probably be rendered on this day at the return of Israel ("I AM").

What of the meek Messiah and judgement?  Israel declared in Matthew 12:36-37 (en# 12) that in the day of judgment, "men" shall give an accounting of their life.  The word "men" here is unconditionally meant as ALL men.  So, every person will have to give an accounting of their life, of everything they said and everything they did, and for that matter, everything they did not said and everything they did not.
 

Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
 33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Revelation 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
 13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
 14 The second woe is past; and , behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty.
 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
 17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so
great.
 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine
of the fierceness of his wrath.
 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague
thereof was exceeding great.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
 9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
 12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
 19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
 20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
 2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Revelation 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
 7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
 8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
 12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
 13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Revelation 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
 14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
 15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
 16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
 18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
 20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
