The Shofar

As Jews all over the globe sound the shofar and celebrate Rosh Hashanah (the Feast of Trumpets) this year, the vast majority of Christians will have absolutely no idea that Rosh Hashanah is a Christian holiday too.  It is a holiday that was created by God, it is a holiday that Jesus celebrated, it is a holiday that the first Christians celebrated, it is a holiday that foreshadows the return of Jesus, and it is a holiday that the entire world will celebrate during the 1000 year reign of Jesus on earth. Sadly, most Christians don’t know the first thing about this amazing festival.  But Christians should learn about it.  The truth is that God has always had His most important events foreshadowed by His festivals and has always had His most important events actually fall on the dates of these festivals.  For example, Passover foreshadowed the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and it was fulfilled on that day.  Pentecost foreshadowed the giving of the Holy Spirit and it was fulfilled on that day.  The Feast of Tabernacles foreshadowed the birth of the Messiah and it was fulfilled on that day.  So what does the Feast of Trumpets foreshadow?  It foreshadows the last trumpet before the return of Jesus Christ, and it seems almost a certainty that it will be fulfilled on that day as well.
