Every year in the Millennium, after Jesus returns, we will hear the trumpet blast on the first day of the seventh month and celebrate the Feast of Trumpets.

Why?

Because the Feast of Trumpets, above all other biblical feast days, is the appointed time that celebrates the Kingship of the Messiah and His reign. Originally, the Feast of Trumpets was a memorial of the events at Mount Sinai (Lev. 23:24), which represented the first time Israel heard the trumpet blast and enthroned God as their King (Ex. 19:16-19).

Many of the Hebrew prophets, however, also reveal that believers will encounter the Messiah on Mount Zion in the Millennium, and will at that time hear the trumpet blast, enthrone Him as the King of Kings, and receive His law (Isa. 2:1-5; 27:13, 18:3-7; Ps. 47:5-9).

Ever seen in a movie how the coronation or enthronement of a King is announced with trumpet blasts? That is what's happening every year during the Feast of Trumpets, and it is what we will celebrate every year in the Millennium in the seventh month.

We blow the trumpet (shofar) to announce the reign of the King, knowing that we will hear the trumpet year after year in the Messianic Age as we worship the Lord on Mount Zion.Take heart, beloved, the corrupt governments of this world will soon fall, and in that day there will only be one King and Sovereign of the earth. -Travis M. Snow

God forbid that we should stand before Him at the end of our lives only to find that we loved ministry accomplishments rather than the One by whom and for whom Christian ministry exists.- BA Purtle

Before the foundation of the world our names were written in the Lamb's book of life. Isn't that staggering? - Martin Lloyd Jones

The anemia of evangelical worship is directly attributable to the abdication of genuine expository preaching.- Albert Mohler 

Salvation is found in Jesus’ name alone; therefore, eternal life is found in knowing the person of Jesus Christ as laid out in the Scriptures. Every person’s decision concerning the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth has eternal consequences.-Allen Hood

Disciples: Eye on the Prize

My friend Grant teaching on hope. 

For on my holy mountain, Israel’s high mountain - there the entire house of Israel, all of them, will serve me in the land. There I will accept them and will require your contributions and choicest gifts, all your holy offerings.

-Ezekiel

The observer of beauty always gets a passion to share that beauty with others. You always talk about what you love.- Timothy Keller

If someone places his faith in the Son, he will share in the life of the coming age. 

If someone refuses to obey the Son, however, he will not experience life; indeed, upon him remains the wrath of God.

- John 3 - Blessed Hope Version

"Riches and the desire of wealth is a drunkenness of the soul." (Chrysostom)

“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.”

― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison

At the time the tiny Jewish state called Israel is trying to make an everlasting peace with its neighbors, both the secular world and Christian world grow with its disdain towards them.

Many do not understand the God of Israel, but it is all written.

It’s a dividing line coming. - TJ Sewob

"The natural branches shall again be engrafted into the olive tree together with the wild olive graftings from among the Gentiles. In the Jew, first and chiefly, shall grace triumph through the King of the Jews. O time, fly thou with rapid wing and bring the auspicious Day." - Spurgeon

...in those days the Israelites and Judeans, weeping as they come, will seek the Lord their God.

They will ask about Zion, turning their faces to this road. They will come and join themselves to the Lord in a permanent covenant that will never be forgotten.

Jesus created the earth. There is no end to the earth. There is a renewing of what He created beyond our imagination. 

Don’t follow the Doomsday folks. Great cataclysmic events will come, but if you follow our Great God and Savior Jesus, you will not lose, you will be glorified. - TJ Sewob

I’ve got an old printed sermon by Spurgeon entitled: “Jesus.”

Preacher, when was the last time your message was simply Jesus? If it’s been long or infrequent, why? We must lead our people to every biblical tributary, but He is the wellspring.

Bring them to the wellspring. - BA Purtle

“In the beginning the church was a fellowship of men and women centering on the living Christ. Then the church moved to Greece, where it became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome, where it became an institution. Next, it moved to Europe, where it became a culture. And, finally, it moved to America, where it became an enterprise.” - Richard Halverson
