ORDER OF EVENTS FROM
FEAST OF TRUMPETS THROUGH YOM KIPPUR
She makes a great point, but takes 23 minutes to say what she could have said in 1 minute.
Here is the condensed version.
In her first video, preceding this one she make a very good point showing how Revelation 4 depicts the coronation of Jesus Christ, and from the Bible we know that the coronation is on Feast of Trumpets. There are 3 points in Revelation 4 that point to John being called up to the throne room during or at the conclusion of the Feast of Trumpets.
In this video her point is that Jesus opening the seven seals refers to the judgement we see in the tribulation and that judgment takes place on Yom Kippur, and that by the time Yom Kippur comes we are already raptured and in the throne room.
Luke 19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
Jesus, their Messiah, had come to save them but it "was hid from their eyes". Why? He was standing right there. He rode in to a huge parade of people cheering. How could he have been hid from the eyes of those in Jerusalem? He was hid because the religious leaders rejected him and people blindly followed those religious leaders.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
This is because they didn't know the time of thy visitation? What? I thought you are prohibited from being a "date setter" and knowing the time of your visitation. Surely there is a verse somewhere that says you are violating some rule if you claim to know the time of your visitation? No? No.
Daniel gave them an accurate way to calculate the year and John the Baptist told them that Jesus was the lamb of God to take away the sin of the world, hence the Passover lamb.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
I have been to many churches which are selling spiritual books. They sell books and CDs. I suppose this could refer to that. But I don't think so. I think this refers to the entire economic system. The NY Stock Exchange is called "the temple of capitalism". It is set up to do nothing but buy and sell. Likewise with other exchanges like commodity exchange. I believe that this is a template for the way of the cross. A financial collapse would be something that would lead many to turn to the Lord. Many will seek to go their own way, but when they reap what they sow and they see the ruin and collapse, it causes them to repent and turn to the Lord. I think the same thing happens during the tribulation. Many have rejected the Lord's word, maybe not all of it, but some of it. Maybe they thought you don't have to be absolute for the Lord, you can go to church on Sunday and that is enough. Maybe they justify some of the things they do at work because "that is the way of the world and they are not foolish". Yes, the world is a den of thieves, that doesn't mean we are supposed to join them. It is a house of prayer and you can make it a house of prayer for yourself.
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
I believe there are two major ways in which we function. First we speak. What do apostles, prophets, evangelists and teachers all have in common? They speak the word of God. If you want to bring in the kingdom of the heavens then it is God's will that you speak the word of God. But that is the second thing. Prior to speaking they pray. You may not see the prayer, that may be between them and the Lord.
This chapter begins with a man named Zacchaeus speaking the word of God about restoring four fold money that was taken illegally. But prior to his speaking he "desired to see Jesus". That was his prayer and the Lord answered his prayer telling him that Jesus would be eating at his house.
We then hear about the Lord giving ten pounds to ten servants. One of them says he knew that the Lord was an austere man reaping where He did not sow. Jesus agrees with that and we can assume all the servants knew that. This is why some of them were faithful to invest the Lord's money, they wanted to have something to show the Lord when He returned. This man had wrapped the pound up in a napkin to keep safe to give back to the Lord when He returned. Do you see what is missing? There was no prayer "Lord, what should I do with this money?" Because when he told the Lord this the Lord immediately told him "you should give it to the bankers so that when I come I will have what is mine with interest". How did the others know what to do to get a 10 fold return or a 5 fold return? That is the prayer you don't see.
Now consider this man with the ass and the colt. We see him give the colt to the disciples when told that "the Lord hath need of him". What you don't see is that something took place beforehand so that this man realizes the ass and the colt belong to the Lord. Perhaps there was a desperate prayer and the Lord answered it by giving this man an Ass.
Prayer is the thing that ignites our ministry.

My Wrath, the Ungodly & the Left Behind 9-3-26@2:55 AM Shared 9-5-26
And then they will know I, the Lord, am God. That's how he woke me up. But I'm like, come straight awake, discerned it, and then said, "Okay, Lord, I'm here." As the days draw closer to the end of days for mankind, the enemy rages more and more. But daughter, oh daughter of mine, my name has not diminished in its power, nor will it ever. When the man of sin sits on the throne of power ruling all the earth, his power given to him by Lucifer the dragon, it will be a time when the saints of God, my children, shall be placed in the hands of the enemy. Not all, daughter, but some. What does this mean for them? These are those whose hearts were unfaithful. These, excuse me, they were not ready when I returned from my bride. These would also be those who resisted my Holy Spirit's call to repentance until during this time. These actions Excuse me. [clears throat] These actions are what caused those left behind to be enduring this time of my wrath that's falling down during the tribulation period.
[clears throat]
These are those whose hearts were unfaithful. They were not ready when I returned my bride. These would also be those that resisted my Holy Spirit's call to repentance until during this time. These actions are what caused those left behind to be enduring this time of my wrath. That's falling during the tribulation period. What this means daughter? It is like with Job. My hedge of protection will be let down so that my children are touchable to the enemy. My power will not diminish ever and is still available to all. But those who find themselves inside the tribulation period that's falling upon your world, most will not understand the full power of my name, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, nor the authority found within it. If they had known beforehand, most would not find themselves there.
My wrath is reserved for the ungodly and the rebellious, the unrighteous and the evil ones. It's not meant for those who belong to me. My children once accept me into their hearts as Lord and Savior are sealed by the Holy Ghost once my blood washes them clean and redeems them. Many want to argue about my written word. Some say my children will endure the horrors of the tribulation period. Meaning all my children, while others will say they will not, excuse me. Hear me, children. Do not contend and argue over my word. It will only cause you to become further divided in a time when my body needs to unite and stand together.
My word must be discerned, understood through the Holy Spirit, my father spirit, who shall reveal the truth to all who ask that are mine for the understanding. Most time, most times it's piece by piece, a little by little, so when the understanding is given, it sticks with you like a foundational truth. Little daughter, beloved of mine, these things are ready to begin upon your world. The fuse has already been lit and has been slowly burning down. Soon all things will explode. Putin has begun setting his eyes on Israel as he watches carefully all the eagle's actions. For America, America Babylon tries to put on a display of force and might. Yet the world sees through the cracks in the facade she presents to the world. A house divided shall fall, and fall she will.
All that has been spoken by many of my children has now become clear and evident for many in your world today. I'm about to crank up the heat as your world says in some places as judgment's hand of furious fire falls further. I purge this world of the rebellious and repent unrepentant. I purge it of the evil deeds and spilt blood. I am my father's son. We are one. I do his will for we are of one mind too. The son does nothing without it being the father's will. I love my father and he loves me and those he's given me shall feel our love together yet also separate daughter of mine. Many still not see how close this world is to destruction, but their eyes are on the world's doomsday clock and the wars raging. They should be focused on the holy judgment I've been sending.
Some of the so called strange anomalies many are contributing to man's ability to control the weather are in error. What is the cause of such things as my command, the holy angels on assignments, and the diminishing power and hold of the magnetic black rock mountain located beneath the north star of Polaris. I am controlling the weather now in my earth, not man, not fallen angel, not their technology. And I am referring to the churning of the oceans and seas. the waters on the earth, the tornadic events of nature's fury, the hell, the fires, the earthquakes, as I further stir that which is connected to your world's ring of fire. I have limited what man can do already, even before the seven-year tribulation period has begun.
Many of my children have been feeling stressed and like they have been pulled taunt and about to break. The refiner's fire will do this at times. Children, relax in me. Cast your burdens and cares at my feet. You don't have to carry or do these things alone. You do not have to try to see how much you can carry alone before you reach out to me. Give your loads to me and let me walk and let's walk this journey together. My way, my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Not weighty like what you're trying to carry on your own. You have nothing to prove to anyone, not even yourselves.
You have been redeemed and justified by my applied blood to your lives. You belong to Father's kingdom. Now lay your burdens down at my feet and I will carry them for you. Take joy in me and your journey will become sweeter as you bask in my love. I long for a closer relationship with each of my children. Take my hand. Let me lead you these last few steps before I return. I love you, my children. And I'm coming for those who are ready and clean are ready in clean, pure garments. It's time for the wedding music to begin and the bride arrive to arrive in heaven. How I've longed so much for this time. Be ready, children. Be ready for I come to take you to my father. I come with a shout of exaltation of great joy. And before the last trumpet has finished its blast in the heavens, you'll be forever with my father and me.
Hallelujah.
Why do bad things happen to good people?
The New Testament fully addresses this question. It defines what a "good person" is. We are then given an example in a parable by the Lord. Finally, we can look at the life of Paul in Acts and address this.
1. What is a good person?
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
If you look at this verse it is clearly saying that nothing that happens to a person that fulfills this criteria will work out for bad. It may appear bad, but it will work together for good. In the final analysis it will not be something bad, it will be something that worked together for good. Now their are two criteria and we can use this as the definition of a "good person".
A. They love God
and
B. They are called according to purpose.
The following examples given by the Lord and lived out by Paul will explain in detail what those two criteria are.
2. What did Jesus Teach?
In the parable of the good samaritan he gave us an example of a "good person" calling the Samaritan a good Samaritan. So then, let's examine these two criteria.
A. How do we know that this Samaritan loved God?
1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
A. In that story of the good Samaritan we see a priest and a Levite, both of whom claim they love God but don't love their brother who has fallen among thieves. They are the liars in this parable. The Good Samaritan loved his brother, that is the point of the parable, it answers the question who is my brother that I should love him, so from his behavior we can see that the Good Samaritan loves God even without him saying that while those who say they love God are liars.
B. Is he called according to purpose? Yes, we have a purpose in life, to help those that we can help. Jesus told the man to "go and do likewise" that is a commission he was given. What you will notice is people who were saved out of street gangs wind up having the gospel to people in street gangs. People who were saved out of prison have a prison ministry. You could argue that the guy who was in the street gang, that was bad things happening to him. But it has worked out for good because now that he is saved the Lord is working through him to minister to others in the same situation. Having experienced the "bad things" has helped him to have empathy for others.
3. What did we see in Paul's life that explains this?
In the book of Acts Paul is arrested, put in prison, even though there are no charges concerning any laws that Rome has that he broke. He is forced to appeal to Caesar because they are trying to kill him. While sailing to Rome they are shipwrecked and the entire boat is destroyed. Finally he is bitten by a poisonous viper.
These are things that happen to everyone, Paul is not the first person to be falsely accused of a crime, nor is he the first person to be put into prison for a crime he didn't commit. He is also not the only person to go through a shipwreck, everyone on that ship went through the same experience. Not only so but he is not the only person to get bitten by a poisonous snake, that happens every year. So the first principle is this:
Ecclesiastes 9:2 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
Our salvation doesn't keep us from experiencing things that others experience, rather our getting saved enables us to be a conqueror in all these things.
So then how did these things which happened to Paul work out for good?
1. Paul wrote his prison epistles while in prison.
2. Paul told the people on the ship not to sail saying it would result in loss. They didn't listen to him. But he didn't respond with "ha, you should have listened to me, now you have got what you deserve". No, he said "You should have listened to me, but don't worry, I have been praying for you and God has given me everyone on this ship, none of you will die but the ship will be destroyed because you didn't listen." Because of the shipwreck everyone on that ship realized they owed their life to Paul who had prayed for them.
3. The snake biting Paul led the people on the island to bring him their sick, he prayed for them and they were healed. Because of that they gave the people another ship and filled it with stuff. So not only do these people owe Paul their lives, they also owe him for restoring their boat and everything they lost.
The bad things that happened to Paul worked out for good because he was called according to purpose. He was an apostle going about establishing churches. Putting him in prison stopped him from doing that but then he wrote letters that have been building up the church for 2,000 years.
Imagine you are going to appear before Caesar who more than likely will be happy to kill Paul if he is bribed or if it makes his life easier with the Jews. But now Paul arrives in Rome with 200+ people all willing to testify that Paul saved their lives! Also, even though they tried to keep Paul from raising up churches what about the people on that island, don't you think the people were not only healed but also raised up churches? What about the 200+ on that ship, do you think they might have gotten saved? What about those in Rome and Italy?

- Ephesians: Focuses on the identity of the Church as the body of Christ and God's eternal plan to unite all things in Jesus.
- Philippians: Emphasizes spiritual joy, humility, and steadfastness in the face of suffering and anxiety.
- Colossians: Proclaims the supreme lordship and absolute sufficiency of Christ over all creation against false teachings.
- Philemon: Acts as a personal appeal for forgiveness and Christian brotherhood regarding a runaway slave named Onesimus.

One thing we (the watchmen) have been looking for is a sign that shows the Lord is coming. But this morning it hit me, if you believe in the Lord, you will heed the warnings that have been spoken by a long list of believers. If you don't believe in the Lord you won't. This speaking of the coming judgment by Vicki, and by Dana Coverstone, and by Jonathan Cahn, and by Wilkerson, Duduman, and so many others has two purposes. To warn those who take heed to the Lord's word, and to expose those who don't.
something she said in this video answered a question I have had for a long time. Is the resurrection of Lazarus a type of the pre tribulation rapture or is the resurrection of Jesus the type? In this video she confirms that the Lord's second coming is as the first, only different. The resurrection of Lazarus would typify the pre-tribulation rapture. While the resurrection of Jesus typifies Jesus going through the tribulation with the tribulation saints and raising them up. So then we can relate the seven year tribulation to the seven day Passover week. The triumphal entry will be a result of the rapture. This also means the global collapse of the currency takes place after the rapture.
Now this is weird because in the gospels we see Jesus with the disciples and the apostles, but almost nothing about Him with Lazarus. However, in the temple records we learn that Lazarus was a longtime friend of Jesus and they spent hours fellowshipping together before His ministry began. From the time Jesus was 12 he was a recognized child prodigy when it came to the Bible. Lazarus typifies the ones who knew him from childhood and they are the 144,000 during the tribulation. We know that after the crucifixion they stayed in an upper room concerned about being killed next and they did this until Pentecost, fifty days later (Christianity is wrong about the date of the ascension). Jesus appears to the disciples 40 days in a row from the third time He appeared which was about ten days after He rose from the dead. It wasn't simply the 12, it was the disciples and that would have included Lazarus.
Luke 20:1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? 3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
This is the point, by what authority did Gene Gruver, or Dimitri Duduman, or Wilkerson, Jonathan Cahn, Dana Coverstone or Vicki Goforth Parnell speak?
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
If you say those men were speaking from heaven then the warnings we are speaking today are in line with them. Why don't you believe us?
6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
If you say they weren't speaking from God, and Israel being reformed is not a prophetic fulfillment, and 1917, 1967 and 2017 being dates when it was declared that Jerusalem belongs to the Jews is simply a coincidence and not prophetic. Well then you will expose yourself to all that do believe the Bible that you are false prophets.
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
This is the truth, they cannot tell. That doesn't mean they don't know that they are false prophets, they do. It means that if they tell it will expose to all that they are false prophets and they can't do that.
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
You should not expect to get an answer from the Lord if you are simply a false prophet who will twist whatever is said to fit your narrative.
Luke 20:9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. 10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
This is what God does when He sends prophets to the nation telling them to repent. The people will claim they are not sent from God.
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
When the convicting hits close to home and they are trying to cover up sins they will lash out and attack the people.
12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
Every time someone comes they will find fault. Maybe they don't like their doctrine about some trivial matter, maybe they'll accuse you of "being a date setter", perhaps they don't like the Bible translation, maybe they don't like the church you attend, or the fact that you were newly saved, etc. The bottom line is they are looking to find fault and they will blame you and attack you rather than repent to God.
13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
Jesus asked them "which of you convicts me of sin"? The answer was no one.
14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
But think about it, they did convict Jesus of "blasphemy" and they put Him to death. If they can easily find fault they'll reject you, if it is harder to find fault they will insult and beat you, but if it is impossible to find fault they will kill you.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
The question I have is why did the Lord of the vineyard do this in the first place? No landlord would sacrifice their son to get the rent. What God is doing is sorting out those who truly were not clear if the word was from God from those who knew the word was from God but were in clear rebellion to the word. When you are the Lord of life, allowing your son to be killed is a valid tool in the tool chest for exposing and revealing the hearts of man.
16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
This is the point, what will we see before the Day of the Lord? We'll see the Lord send His servants who get rejected, who get slandered, and who get beaten. Only after that will we see the day of the Lord. That is why David Wilkerson, Dimitri Duduman, Jonathan Cahn, Dana Coverstone and Vicki Goforth Parnell are the sign that tells us the day of the Lord is coming.
17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
They will claim they had a reason to reject the stone, they'll blame this or that or some other thing. But think about how incredible Jesus was, fitting the prophecies perfectly. He was born in Bethlehem, He was called out of Egypt and He was called a Nazarene. How many people could fit that description? Of those few that could how many were crucified and scourged and crowned with thorns? Even if there are two, which there aren't, did they break a bone on the other guy? Was he buried in a rich man's tomb after being crucified? And why was He crucified, was it for something that he did or something that we did? None of the servants could possibly fully measure up, so God sent His son. This takes away all doubt to their guilt in rejecting Jesus.
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
This is what God does when He sends prophets to the nation telling them to repent. The people will claim they are not sent from God.
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
When the convicting hits close to home and they are trying to cover up sins they will lash out and attack the people.
12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

Feast of Trumpets 2026: Reasons to Watch (Part 1)
T.W. Tramm – (08/25/26)
1. DAY OF SHOUTING/TRUMPETING
The Hebrew name for the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah, means “Day of Shouting” or “Day of Trumpeting.”
The Rapture is when Jesus descends with a shout and a trumpet: “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout ... and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise” (1 Thess. 4:16).
2. HIDDEN MOON
The Feast of Trumpets coincides with the moon’s hidden phase (Lev. 23:24).
The Rapture is when the Church (symbolized by the moon) is hidden: “Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by” (Isa. 26:20).
3. DAY AND HOUR UNKNOWN
The Feast of Trumpets begins at the first sighting of the new-moon crescent (Ps. 81:3). Since atmospheric factors make the timing of the crescent sighting unpredictable, “no one knows the day or hour” the festival begins (Matt. 24:36).
4. SEQUENTIAL TYPOLOGY
The Feast of Trumpets is the fifth of the seven festivals (Lev. 23). Since the number five signifies “grace” in Scripture, Trumpets is a fitting time for the Rapture that concludes the Age of Grace.
Moreover, Trumpets marks the end of the sixth month, evoking the end of the age after 6,000 years (Barnabas 15).
5. BIRTH SIGN
The Feast of Trumpets (when the Sun is in Virgo) is a time of “birth” (Rev. 12:1–5). The Rapture is characterized as a “birth” (Isa. 26:17–21; 66:7–9; Jer. 30:6, 7).
6. DAYS OF NOAH – PEACE AND SECURITY
The Feast of Trumpets coincides with the annual assembly of the UN, the organization founded on the anniversary of Noah’s Flood, to maintain “international peace and security.”
Scripture teaches that when Jesus returns, it will be “like the days of Noah,” and people will be saying “peace and security” (Matt. 24:37–39; 1 Thess. 5:3).
7. WHEAT GATHERING
The Feast of Trumpets occurs at summer’s end, when wheat is gathered into barns (Deut. 16:13).
The gathering of wheat into barns typifies the gathering of believers into the Father’s House at the Rapture: “He will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn” (Matt. 3:12).
8. GRAPE HARVEST
The Feast of Trumpets coincides with the culmination of Israel’s grape harvest.
In Song of Songs, tender grapes are the last agricultural sign mentioned before the bride is raptured by her beloved Shepherd-King: “The vines with the tender grapes give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away” (Song 2:13).
9. LEFT BEHIND
11. RUTH AND BOAZ’S WEDDING
Ruth and Boaz’s typological wedding may have occurred around the Feast of Trumpets. Though the couple was betrothed around Pentecost, Ruth resided with her mother-in-law until the end of the wheat harvest (Ruth 2:23). Some translations specify, “till all the barley and the wheat were laid up in the barns” (DRB). If Ruth began cohabiting with Boaz after the wheat was stored, the marriage may have been consummated in late summer, around Trumpets.
12. “MIDNIGHT” OF THE YEAR
In the Parable of the Virgins, the bridegroom appears at midnight: “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’” (Matt. 25:6).
The Feast of Trumpets lands on the 177th day of the 354-day biblical year, thus marking the midpoint, or “midnight,” of the year.
TRUMPETS 2026
With the Trumpets-Rapture correlations in view, here are some striking calendar alignments occurring in 2026:
888 DAYS SINCE THE ECLIPSE “X”
Trumpets 2026 marks 888 days since the 2024 American eclipse path crossed that of the 2017 eclipse, completing a giant “X” across the U.S.

The number 8 is associated with resurrection and judgment: Jesus was resurrected on the “eighth” day, and eight individuals escaped the Flood (Matt. 28:1; 1 Pet. 3:20). Thus, a triple repetition (888) amplifies these themes, denoting an ultimate resurrection and judgment.
Furthermore, 888 is the Greek numerical value of Jesus’ name, making it a “signature” number of the
Lord.
T.W. Tramm – (08/25/26)
Jesus commands believers to “keep watch” for His sudden coming (Matt. 24:42). Though vigilance is a daily calling, anticipation peaks around the Feast of Trumpets. |
Here are 12 reasons why: |
1. DAY OF SHOUTING/TRUMPETING
The Hebrew name for the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah, means “Day of Shouting” or “Day of Trumpeting.”
The Rapture is when Jesus descends with a shout and a trumpet: “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout ... and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise” (1 Thess. 4:16).

9. LEFT BEHIND
The Feast of Trumpets, around summer’s end, is when the godly people disappear, and Israel is left behind: “How miserable I am! I feel like the fruit picker after the harvest who can find nothing to eat ... The godly people have all disappeared; not one honest person is left on the earth” (Mic. 7:1, 2). “The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved” (Jer. 8:20). |
10. WEDDING REMINDER The Feast of Trumpets is a “memorial” of the trumpet blast at Sinai, when God descended in a cloud and married Israel—a picture of the Rapture (Lev. 23:24 KJV; Ex. 19). |
11. RUTH AND BOAZ’S WEDDING
Ruth and Boaz’s typological wedding may have occurred around the Feast of Trumpets. Though the couple was betrothed around Pentecost, Ruth resided with her mother-in-law until the end of the wheat harvest (Ruth 2:23). Some translations specify, “till all the barley and the wheat were laid up in the barns” (DRB).
