Six Major Events on the Feast of Trumpets

Now let us consider the events — the idioms — associated with the Feast of Trumpets during the end of the age. There are six major events that I believe will occur on this feast day:

1. The Time of Jacob's Trouble — what most people call the seven-year tribulation period

2. The Day of the Awakening Blast — what most people call the Rapture

3. The Day of Judgment, when the books are opened

4. The Hidden Day — a mystery associated with this feast

5. The Wedding of the Messiah

6. The Coronation of the Messiah

Six major events on a single feast day. If we do not understand the calendar and the divine appointments of the Lord, we will not understand any of this — because it is a dress rehearsal.

Consider: if you are invited to a wedding but never attend the rehearsals, you will not know what to do. You will look foolish while everyone else who was at the rehearsals moves through the ceremony with understanding. The same principle applies here. If you do not understand the time of your visitation, you will not be prepared for the wedding feast. Read Matthew 22 — it is a very strong warning. In that parable, the king sends out invitations to the feast and people refuse to come, too busy with their own lives, much like the days of Noah. He came not to bring peace but a sword, dividing His set-apart people from those who are not — the wise virgins from the foolish. And remember: they were all believers. They were all virgins.

To understand what time it is, you must understand God's calendar and His divine appointments. That is the only way, because that is what He is working through.
