Daniel 7 and the Feast of Trumpets Decree

**Daniel 7 and the Feast of Trumpets**

When we look at Daniel 7, we see confirmation of the Feast of Trumpets before we close out the new moon for the tribe of the month. Daniel 7 is, in my understanding, an End of the Age prophecy about four kingdoms that will rise to power, after which the Messiah will come and establish the Kingdom of Israel.

Daniel 7 describes the four kingdoms and then presents a beautiful Courts of Heaven scene. Right after the fourth kingdom — the Antichrist kingdom, which culminates at the Feast of Trumpets — a heavenly court is convened. A decree is made for the saints. The judgment is rendered on the Feast of Trumpets. That is when He returns, at the last trump. Everything ties together.

Daniel 7:21–22 reads: *"I was watching, and the same horn was making war against the saints and prevailing against them, until the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom."* Then the angel Gabriel continues: *"But the court shall be seated, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it forever. Then the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him."*

The decrees and declarations are given once a year — on the Feast of Trumpets. He will return on the last trump. That is literal, not symbolic. The decree will be made for the saints to inherit the Kingdom of Israel. That will begin the Millennium, the seventh day, the seven-thousandth year. It will begin a new moon in history, a new seven-year cycle. Every example — Joseph, Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Messiah Himself — points not only to the Feast of Trumpets but to a new seven-year cycle beginning at that moment.
