1. This is the Feast of Trumpets!

2. Leviticus 23:23) Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24) “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘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.
25) ‘You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.’ ”

4. What does it represent?
Exodus 23:14) “Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year: 15) “You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; none shall appear before Me empty);
16) “and the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors which you have sown in the field; and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.

5. John 4:35) “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
36) “And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
37) “For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’
38) “I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

6. That has been the whole age of the church for the last 2000 years
That has been the whole age of the church for the last 2000 years. What is up with the trumpets? 1 Thess 4:13) But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

7. 15) For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16) For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

8. 17) Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18) Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Cor 15:50) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

9. 51) Behold, I tell 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 trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. John 14:1) “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2) “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

10. 3) “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
Where do you stand?
Hebrews 12:18) For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,
19) and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.

11. 20) (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.”
21) And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)
22) But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,

12. 23) to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24) to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. Because we have a problem and God has a solution

13. Heb 10:11) And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12) But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13) from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.14) For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. Amen!
