The Meaning of Trumpets

We call this the Feast of Trumpets, but why? If somebody said will now you show me the words Feast of Trumpets in the Bible, could you show them? No you couldn't, because it doesn't say Feast of Trumpets in the Bible. The Jews don't call it the Feast of Trumpets they call it Rosh Hashanah, thi ...

The Passover

The Passover day isn't celebrating happy go lucky, have a big meal and eat and drink and laugh and visit, like the first day of Unleavened Bread is, like Pentecost is, like Trumpets and the Feast of Tabernacles, but this day is a solemn occasion.
