• “For nation will rise
against nation, and king-
dom against kingdom. And
there will be famines,
pestilences, and earth-
quakes in various places.
• “All these are the begin-
ning of sorrows.”
Mat-
thew 24:6-8.
This is what is now being seen
as perhaps never before on the
world scene! Internal rebellion
and the overturning of govern-
ments continue to take place.
There are also nations warring
against one another!
Like Rome of old this nation
has its military spread out in
various nations trying to help
their leaders and peoples. At
the same time there are also
the internal struggles going on
within this government. The
many unsolvable problems
within this nation and Britain
are leading to the
Great
Tribulation.
With these many problems in
mind it should be realized the
coming of Jesus Christ, as
pictured by the Feast of Trum-
pets, will soon become reality.
And its observance is almost
here.
The Feast of Trumpets
As we all should know, the
Feast of Trumpets
intro-
duces the Fall Festivals. And it
holds significant meaning that
should seriously be
considered—especially this
year in time!
Further, the
Feast of Trum-
pets
is always observed on the
1st day of the 7th Month that
pictures another
beginning –
the new civil year
(Leviticus
23:23-24),
as does the first
month of God’s
Sacred Calendar that
pictures new begin-
nings
(Exodus
12:2).
In view of this
coming Festival
Season it’s obser-
vance could be very
close to the last one
to be observed
where we now live due to the
very dark and stormy clouds
that are now hovering over a
dying and evil age
(Galatians
1:4).
The Sounding of the
Seven Trumpets
Realizing the major problems
we have been observing in this
nation, we would do well to
consider the possible ominous
meaning of this coming Feast
of Trumpets – Could it be that
we have already begun
witnessing the forerunner of
the sounding of the first trum-
pet – and perhaps more fully
this coming time?
The first angel sounded:
And HAIL AND FIRE
followed, mingled with
blood
(as the result),
and
they were thrown to the
earth
(similar to Sodom and
Gomorrah,
Genesis 19:24
)
.
And a third of the trees
were burned up, and all
green grass was burned
up.”
(Revelation 8:7).
To enable us to get a perspec-
tive of the meaning of the Feast
of Trumpets please note the
