To the editor:

The dramatic Feast of Trumpets (Yom Tru’A) heralds autumn in Israel as well as here. (It is commonly associated with Rosh Hashana on many calendars).

Unique to this soul-stirring, shofar sounding Feast is that it is the ONLY one of the 7 Appointed Feasts ordered in the Torah (Numbers 29:1-6) that begins during a NEW MOON when, throughout the ages, NO ONE KNOWS THE DAY NOR EXACT HOUR of its arrival. Thus, 2 days are set allowing 2 watching witnesses to announce its first silvery piercing of darkness to be broken.

Herein lies a potential “endtimes” clue for those familiar with some of Jesus’s words regarding His glorious return: “BUT OF THAT (EXACT) DAY AND HOUR NO ONE KNOWS”...Matt.24:36.

By no means do I propose anything other than what is written in the Torah and the Gospels. Rather, I encourage folks to read context which space does not permit here.

However, I’ve thought it worth sharing an insight into what may be a clue hidden plainly “in sight” regarding the Feast of Trumpets.and why it may hint at that “Last Trumpet” reported yet to sound. (1Cor.15)
