Passage: Leviticus 23:23-25
The Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashana in Hebrew, is the celebration of the Jewish New Year. It is a day of solemn rest and “Memorial” (Lev. 23:24). How do you celebrate Memorial Day? With barbecues and cookouts? How did Israel celebrate the Feast of Trumpets as a memorial day? By remembering their exile as a result of sin and the faithfulness of God’s mercy. Ultimately, the Feast of Trumpets reminds us that Jesus is coming again with a loud trumpet call (Matthew 24:31)
