Speaker 1 (00:07):
In today's rapidly changing world, we all have questions and
we all want answers. It's on this program that we
get our answers from the Word of God. It's time
for another episode of A Relevant Word with longtime pastor
and bestselling author, Carl Gallup. Welcome to Irrelevant Words with
(00:32):
Pastor Carl Gallups. Carl's the pastor at Hickory Hammock Baptist
Church in the Milton, Florida area, Pensacola. My name's Kevin King. Carl,
it's good to have you back in the studio. We're
going to learn a lot today, I believe. We were
talking about what you're going to be covering, and it's
something that I personally have heard about, but I really
don't know that much about it. But you are really
(00:53):
going to go deep on this subject and explain, as Christians,
how we take The Feast of the Trumpets.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, or the Day of Trumpets. But a lot of
people call it the Feast of the Trumpets because the
Word of God in Leviticus 23 actually lists it among the, quote,
seven feasts of the Lord. But the word feast is
not attached to it. And I'm not correcting you because
I say it all the time, too. I'm just saying
for the sake of our listeners that it really is called,
in Hebrew, it would be called Yom Torah, which doesn't
(01:25):
really translate to it's day of, and Torah is not
the word trumpet. It means the word blasting. Well, the
blasting came from the shofars, and so, you know, that's
how it's done. You blow the trumpet on that day,
on Yom Torah, the day of blasting. Okay, maybe more
information than you wanted to know, but I'm just saying that.
(01:47):
It's a good setup. Yeah, it's a good setup. But
also that coincides. And by the way, listen, this is
one of the seven feasts, and I'm making air quotes here,
of the Lord. So, you know, and they're scattered out
through the year, starting in March, April of our year,
all the way down into October, September, October for the
last one. But the point is, this show is what
(02:10):
we would call an evergreen show. That is, the principles
of this are always applicable. So it doesn't have to be,
you know, have to be listening to it during the
feast of Yom Teruah to understand and have the relevancy
of what we're going to talk about and what this means.
Because it is, it goes right to our daily lives.
But the bottom line is, as Kevin and I have
(02:32):
already said, in Leviticus 23... There is a list of feasts,
seven feasts, that God says you are to do these perpetually. Now,
I know some people say, well, that means we've got
to celebrate them just like the Jews. Actually not, because
in those feasts, there is a Hebrew word called, and
this day is to be, first it says, these are
(02:53):
to be moeds, or in Hebrew, it would be moedim, moedim, moeds.
We would transliterate that into English. In other words, in
the plural. And moed means... It means a celebration, a gathering.
It means an appointed time. These are your seven appointed times.
But the other word that it says, and these shall
(03:14):
be a holy convocation for you. That's what most English says.
But in Hebrew, it says, and these shall be a
mikra for you. The word mikra means a rehearsal. Well,
the word rehearsal means this is not the real thing.
It's pointing to something else. Well, the apostle Paul, who
wrote half the New Testament, addresses that in several places,
(03:35):
but in Colossians chapter 2, he says, let no one
judge you by what you eat or what you drink
or a Sabbath day or even a feast day. And
he's talking about the seven feasts. He says, for these
were a mere shadow of what was to come in
Jesus Christ. So Jesus Christ has fulfilled all of the
seven feasts. I mean, I'll just start with the first one.
(03:57):
I'm not going to go through all seven because this
show is not about that. But to give the example,
the first one is Passover. Well, guess what? Jesus became
our Passover lamb on Passover. He became the unleavened bread
on Passover and unleavened bread. He became the firstfruits from
the dead on the Feast of Firstfruits, which all happened
within an eight-day period that year. So this is how
(04:18):
he fulfills them. And all of those things that had
been done for 1,500 years before, kind of in the
agricultural style or the style of the culture of ancient Israel,
those were all rehearsals for what was going to come
in Jesus Christ. As Paul said, they were all shadows
of what was going to become the reality in Jesus. So,
(04:39):
in other words, there's a relevance for us, always has been,
but now there's a huge relevance for us in these
prophetic times we're living in, the most prophetic times. since
the first coming of Jesus Christ. I've done shows on that.
We'll do some more in the future, but please trust
me on this. I know what I'm talking about. So
now the reason I've honed in on this is because
(05:01):
as we're making this show today, we're pretty close to
the Feast of Trumpets or Yom Teruah, the Day of Blasting.
But again, the relevancy is forever and forever. So just
hear me out, and I will give you some history,
and I think this will help you understand some things.
Because people have questions about it. It's also called Rosh
(05:22):
Hashanah in Hebrew. Rosh means head. Hashanah means new year.
The head of the new year. Well, but that's funny.
That happens in the first day of Tishri in the Hebrew,
which is supposed to be the first day of the
seventh Hebrew month. Now, the Hebrew months do not line up.
With the Gregorian calendar that we use, they usually overlap,
(05:44):
like Tishri overlaps September and October of our years. So
every year, the specific date of the first day of
Tishri is a different day. But here's the thing. I
want to give a little history of this. People ask, well,
why is the fall considered Israel's new year? When did
that start? Because in Exodus 12, when the Passover was given,
(06:08):
God says specifically, this is to be the first month
of your new year forever. That's the month of Nisan. Nisan.
Nisan the first. And in that month falls the Passover. Well,
where did this seventh month, Tishri, become the new year
for Israel? Well, I'm getting ready to tell you. And
(06:30):
by the way, in the list of seven feasts in
Leviticus 23, there's nothing said about it being the head
of the year or Rosh Hashanah or the new year. Nothing.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that. Nowhere. Well,
where did this come from? First of all, the month
name of Tishri is not even a Hebrew word. It's
not even a Hebrew month. It's Babylonian. You remember the
(06:53):
Jews eventually wound up in Babylonian captivity for 50, well,
almost 70 years total. And they had adopted some of
the Babylonian customs. Now, I've done a show here, and
I'm not going to get into this. This is deep weeds.
On Easter, among evangelical Christians, that comes from Babylon as well.
And I've written books on it. My ministry partner out
(07:15):
of Israel has written books on it, Zef Barat. And
the scholarship that shows that is just beyond compare. So
the reason I brought that up is because people, they
get on to the Israelis, say, well, don't they know
this is Babylonian? That's pagan. Well, don't the churches know
that Easter is Babylonian and pagan too? You're not celebrating
(07:37):
the resurrection of Christ on Passover. You're celebrating it on Ishtar,
the goddess of fertility. The Roman Empire started that in
the early church. Under Constantine. But anyway, so I'm saying
don't be beating up on the Jews because we do
it too. And you say, well, I didn't know that.
I know. And the Jews, most of them don't know
(07:59):
to this day. And they say, well, it's a civil
new year. What does that mean? It's nowhere in the Bible.
It's been nowhere in your tradition until you were taken
into captivity. Well, the bottom line is in that time
of year in Babylonian captivity, the Babylonians, the pagans, they
celebrated their God, Marduk. Marduk was supposedly the creator of
(08:23):
the universe, and so they would have parties in the
streets and make noise and all of that, and they
would celebrate their God. He made everything. Well, we know
it's Yahweh that made everything, Yeshua himself, and the Bible
doesn't say what date or what time, but the Babylonians
That time was not even the Babylonian new year. It
(08:46):
was the second half of the Babylonian year. The Babylonian
new year started at what the Hebrews would call Nisan.
I mean, it's crazy when you think about this. And
they weren't even trying to keep God's law. They just,
that's when they started the new year. It fell in
spring when everything was becoming new. So anyway, it's a
(09:07):
big mess, and I just want people to know what
this is all about before we get to the real
relevance of it. But it is a big mess of
misunderstanding and misinformation. You can go on Internet websites and
ask rabbis, why do you celebrate the first of the
year in Tishrei? And by the way, what is the
(09:27):
real name of the real month? 1 Kings 8, verse 2.
Solomon is dedicating the temple, and the Bible says, and
he did it in the seventh month of Itamin. Itamin
is the Hebrew word for the seventh month. It's found
in 1 Kings 8, verse 2. It's right there. You
never hear a Jew anywhere in the world speak of Itamin.
(09:50):
It's always Tishri. That comes from the Babylon. From Babylon.
It's a party and celebration in honor of Marduk. Now,
the Jews don't look at it like that. that. Of course,
I'm not saying that no more than Christians are really
worshiping an Easter bunny or anything, but it all fits
at that time, and that's why we speak to these things. Christians,
(10:10):
wake up. It's not Easter. It's Passover. Jews, wake up.
It's not the head of the new year. It's not
even Tishri. It is one of the seven feasts of
the Lord that serves another purpose unto itself. It has
nothing to do with what you guys are talking about.
I mean, it's that simple. I'm not being ugly. I'm
beating up on Christians as well as Jewish people because
(10:31):
the mythology and the traditions that are passed on. That's
why Jesus told the Pharisees, and this got him on
the cross. He said, you know, by holding to your traditions,
you are nullifying the word of God. You're nullifying the
word of God. And so that's what they did. And
I know, I mean, I've been in Christian churches for
(10:53):
a long time. And every now and then I hear
preachers talk about, well, those Jewish people, they just couldn't
see what was right before their eyes. And I want
to raise my hand. Of course, I won't do that
in church. I'm going to raise my hand and say, preacher,
I saw your sign that Easter on your front yard.
You're doing the same thing. There's no connection there, but
you think there is because that's been your tradition and
(11:15):
your family's tradition and your denomination's tradition for X number
of years, but you don't even know what it's really
all about. Same thing with the Feast of Yom Teruah.
And the thing is, the Bible says that it's supposed
to be celebrated on one day. To this day. The
(11:37):
Jews celebrated on two days, and they blew 100 trumpets,
and they gave a name to each of the trumpets,
and the sound of the trumpets, each of the 100.
The Bible didn't say anything about any of that. It says,
on this day, the first day of Etamin, the seventh month,
blow the trumpets throughout the land. And when we come
(11:59):
back from the break, I'll tell you why that was done,
and then we're going to get to the detailed relevance
to our life. Looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This is Irrelevant Word with Pastor Carl Gallups, and we'll
return right after the break.

Pastor Carl Gallops. We're talking about the Feast of Trumpets today.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah. You brought that title up. Kevin, we're going to
talk about the Feast of Trumpets.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Okay, Carl. Yeah. What do you got to say about that? Yeah.
How do you make them? Are they fried trumpets or
oil trumpets? Yeah, do you saute those up? The feast
of trumpets. That's kind of funny, but, you know. No,
it's actually called the day of blasting or the day
of sounding the trumpets, if you will.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Tell you what, Carl, we went to school on segment one.
So there's a lot of information. Yeah, no, there really is.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But the point is, there's so much relevance to this.
I love teaching stuff, but more importantly, once I teach
the stuff, then make it relevant. I mean, I don't
want people walking away saying, okay, I learned a bunch
of stuff. So what? Wow, that's cool. It's called Yom
Teruah and not Feast of Trumpets. But what good does
that do me today? All right, well, you're getting ready
(13:44):
to find out. But the bottom line is, it is
one of the seven things. feast of the Lord found
in Leviticus chapter 23, and all were fulfilled in Yeshua
HaMashiach Adonai, in Jesus Christ our Lord. The Bible says that.
The New Testament says that. His life and ministry screams it.
(14:06):
The historical evidence of it is there. It was all
about him. It always has been. So what about the
Feast of Trumpets? Well, listen, it never fails with the
internet now that about every other year or every three years,
somebody comes up with a huge prediction of the rapture
is going to be this year and it's going to
be at the Feast of Trumpets. Well, first of all,
(14:26):
they're wrong. If they set a date, then Jesus said,
no man knows the date of the hour. I had
fun with this in my church several times where I
would stomp my foot and say, I can guarantee you, bam,
stomp my foot, that this feast of trumpets is not
the rapture because Jesus said nobody knows the day or
the hour. And the feast of trumpets is one day.
It falls on one day. And so if you say
(14:47):
that's the day, well, you're just calling Jesus a liar. Well,
I'm not going there. So I can, that's one prediction,
one prophecy I can make that I feel very, very
sure about. And others would say, well, it is going
to be on a feast of trumpets. Well, the Bible
doesn't say that either. Well, yes, it does. So the
trumpet's going to blow. Yes, but that's not necessarily connected
(15:08):
to the feast of trumpets. But what it is, is just, well,
I'll get into what trumpets mean in just a moment.
But what that, and I call it feast of trumpets,
but literally, you know, it means the day of blasting,
Yom Teruah. But again, the Jewish people set it as
their day of the first day of the new year.
But it's not. And if you listen to the first
(15:29):
part of this episode, you will hear all the facts
about that, the historical facts, the Hebrew linguistic facts. But
now we are into making it more relevant. So when
you come to this feast, when you come to this day,
Leviticus says, on this day, blow the trumpets throughout the land. Well, now,
the importance of that is because right behind it, 10
(15:50):
days later, comes the day, well, it's called Yom Kippur.
which means the day of covering or the day of atonement.
Some people call it the feast of atonement. Again, it's
not really a feast. It's a religious ritual, and I
use the word religious in the right way, but it's
a ritual given to the nation of Israel as a
(16:14):
yearly reminder that they've got to stay right with the Lord.
They've got to follow him in obedience and faith They're
surrounded by pagans and paganisms. It's so easy to fall
into all the sexual perversion, sexual sin, pagan worship. And
that particular day, the Feast of Atonement, was to let
them know, listen, get your heart right. And if the
(16:38):
high priest will take the blood of the sacrificial lamb, well,
there's Jesus again, eventually, and sprinkle it on the Ark
of the Covenant, That represents the presence of God in
the holy of holies, in the temple or in the tabernacle.
And if he does right, if he does it right,
and the people approach this day with solemnness and seriousness,
(17:02):
God says, I will forgive the sin of the land.
And for one more year, I will keep my hand
over you. And next year, you'll do it again. Well,
how do you kind of prepare for that? By the
blowing of trumpets and a 10-day interval to get your
house in order, your life in order, to get some
things taken care of. If you need to forgive somebody,
forgive them. If you need to apologize, you need to apologize.
(17:25):
If you need to make things right in your own
marriage or home or family or your own heart, you
need to get them right because we're now getting ready
to sacrifice lambs. We're getting ready for the high priest
to go into the Holy of Holies. Now, you can see,
for those of you that are students of God's Word,
you understand all of this is foreshadowing the coming of Jesus,
who is our high priest, who shed his own blood.
(17:46):
He did become the Lamb. He did go into the
Holy of Holies. He took his blood. And by that,
we are saved. By that, our sins are atoned for.
The day of atonement, you see. Well, what kicks all
that off? The day of blowing the trumpets. Now, trumpets
all throughout the Bible are a sound of warning. You know,
(18:06):
and even mourning doesn't have to be negative. It can see,
it can mourn that the king is coming. Okay. So
be on your, you know, P's and Q's. Everybody be ready.
The king's on his way. It could be the sound
of battle. It could be a sound of the enemies approaching.
It could be a sound of calling to worship. It
could be some of all of that. So trumpets were
used in that way. They're awesome to blow those shofars.
(18:29):
Throughout those hills and valleys, hundreds and hundreds of them
sounding with that haunting, almost eerie, but yet so worshipful
spiritual sound. It's an amazing thing to hear, and I've
heard it before in that way. And it is otherworldly.
And so that's what it was all about. So getting
people ready for the day of atonement, if you will.
(18:52):
And so when you look at this, I want to
consider a couple more things and I'll get to the punch,
the power punch point of the relevancy. But in the
book of Revelation, there are a series of seven trumpets.
In the book of Joshua, chapter 6 in the Old Testament,
there are a series. of seven priests with seven trumpets.
(19:13):
In Revelation, it's seven angels with seven trumpets. The two
go together. The one in Joshua is a foreshadowing of
what's getting ready to happen in Revelation. The one in
Joshua is when they entered the promised land, coming out
of 40 years of captivity and wandering in the wilderness,
they crossed the Jordan River, and the first big thing
in front of them is the city of Jericho, a
great walled city of paganism, godlessness, and military strength. And
(19:39):
the people said, how are we going to overcome this
And instead of being told by Joshua, who was leading
them into the promised land, by the way, that guy's
name is English, but if you put it in English, Hebrew,
it's Yeshua or Yehoshua. I mean, a guy named Jesus
is going to lead God's people to the promised land. Wow.
Look at the symbolism there. And first they have to
(20:01):
cross over Jordan. And what do I see coming for
to carry me home? I mean, all of the symbolism
is right there. And then how they defeat Jericho is
actually happened. I've seen the ruins of it myself. And
it's just like the Bible says. The walls came tumbling down.
There was an earthquake or something at just the right time.
(20:23):
They were told you cannot defeat it with bows and
arrows and swords and spears. But here's how we're going
to defeat it. For seven days, the seven priests will
walk around the city with the Ark of the Covenant
seven days in a row. Seven, seven, seven. Seven days
in a row, seven priests, seven trumpets, and all the
(20:44):
people of Israel are to follow. And you march around
the city. That's all you do. You don't fire an arrow.
You don't toss a spear. Nothing. You just do that.
On the seventh day, the seven priests blow seven trumpets.
And the walls came tumbling down. And the Bible says,
and the people of God went up into the promised land,
(21:05):
led by a man named Jesus. Now, that was, I mean,
that was his name. He's a real guy and he
wasn't Jesus, but he's a type of that. The whole
thing serves also it not only actually happened, but in
the future. It would be fulfilled in the whole Christ
event and then the whole rapture event and then all
of that. So all of that's wrapped up. Then you
get to Revelation, the last book of the Bible. What
(21:26):
do you find? Lo and behold, seven trumpets. Now you
hear Jesus in Matthew 24 say, and after the tribulation
of those days, he's talking about the last days, he says,
the Son of Man will call for his angels from
the four corners of the earth. There will be a
shout from heaven and a trumpet blast, and he will
gather his elect from the four corners. Wow, there's the rapture.
(21:49):
Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 says, Behold, I tell you
a mystery. We will not all be left behind. We
will be changed if we are still here. And we
will be changed and caught up in the clouds to
be with him at the sounding of the last trumpet.
And then in 1 Thessalonians 4, he says it again,
(22:11):
except he just says at the sound of the trumpet.
He's already said it's the last trumpet. Then in Revelation
chapter 10, verse 7, John, the revelator, he's shown the
whole end, and he is told, behold, the mystery of God.
In the day that the last trumpet is about to blow,
the seventh trumpet, the mystery of God will be revealed.
(22:32):
Then you get to chapter 11, and it says, and
the seventh trumpet blew, and a voice from heaven shouted,
come up here. And they went up in the clouds.
And the next scene, you see the redeemed of the
earth around the throne room worshiping the Lord. And then
after chapter 11, there are 11 more chapters of Revelation,
and the word trumpet is never mentioned. It is literally
(22:55):
the last trumpet. And John introduces it in chapter 10
by saying, the mystery of God will be revealed at
the last trumpet. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15, behold,
I'll tell you the mystery. At the last trumpet, we
will be caught up together with him. So the bottom
line is the Feast of Trumpets really is a daily thing.
It falls in the fall because it's right before Yom Kippur,
(23:18):
that great day of you better be under the blood,
you better be redeemed, you better be ready, and you
better be right. That's right with God. That's what it
all means. And so it's kind of an everyday thing,
just taking some introspection, examining ourselves, reexamining ourselves. We live
in extremely prophetic times. The Feast of Trumpets is really
(23:39):
the everyday sound of the Holy Spirit speaking to our
heart and our mind about our own lives and about
our own commitment and about our own courage, our own
ambassadorship for the kingdom. And that's who we are. The
trumpets are for us. It's a sound from heaven that
I am going to make this right, and I am
coming again. Be ready. Thank you, Carl. I've learned a lot. Well,
(24:06):
I appreciate that. I really have.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
This has been an eye-opening couple of sessions here, and
I really appreciate you bringing that message today.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Well, thank you. It's my pleasure, and thank you for
helping me do that. And, you know, as I said,
I love to teach stuff, and I hope you learned
a lot of good stuff, historical stuff, biblical stuff, some
biblical words, some Hebrew words. But more important even than that,
of course, you've got to learn it first. But once
you learn it, the most important thing is, so what?
What difference does it make to me? Well, the whole
(24:35):
thing is, in the fall, just be thinking about this.
You may not celebrate the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Teruah.
You know, the Orthodox Jews who don't worship the Lord Jesus,
they don't get all this. But when you see the
whole Word of God and what Jesus did, you understand.
It's all about you, folks. It's all about you being
right with Him. So thank you so much for listening.
(24:57):
This has been a word for you. From the Word
of God, a relevant word, Pastor Carl Gallups. May the
Lord bless you and keep you always.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Now more than ever, we need to listen to God.
He still speaks through His Word, the Bible. Each week,
Pastor Gallups shares what the Word of God is saying.
Even now, a relevant word. With longtime pastor and best-selling author,
Carl Gallups. To access Pastor Carl and to listen to
his podcast anytime, visit carlgallups.com. Thanks for listening.
In today's rapidly changing world, we all have questions and
we all want answers. It's on this program that we
get our answers from the Word of God. It's time
for another episode of A Relevant Word with longtime pastor
and bestselling author, Carl Gallup. Welcome to Irrelevant Words with
(00:32):
Pastor Carl Gallups. Carl's the pastor at Hickory Hammock Baptist
Church in the Milton, Florida area, Pensacola. My name's Kevin King. Carl,
it's good to have you back in the studio. We're
going to learn a lot today, I believe. We were
talking about what you're going to be covering, and it's
something that I personally have heard about, but I really
don't know that much about it. But you are really
(00:53):
going to go deep on this subject and explain, as Christians,
how we take The Feast of the Trumpets.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, or the Day of Trumpets. But a lot of
people call it the Feast of the Trumpets because the
Word of God in Leviticus 23 actually lists it among the, quote,
seven feasts of the Lord. But the word feast is
not attached to it. And I'm not correcting you because
I say it all the time, too. I'm just saying
for the sake of our listeners that it really is called,
in Hebrew, it would be called Yom Torah, which doesn't
(01:25):
really translate to it's day of, and Torah is not
the word trumpet. It means the word blasting. Well, the
blasting came from the shofars, and so, you know, that's
how it's done. You blow the trumpet on that day,
on Yom Torah, the day of blasting. Okay, maybe more
information than you wanted to know, but I'm just saying that.
(01:47):
It's a good setup. Yeah, it's a good setup. But
also that coincides. And by the way, listen, this is
one of the seven feasts, and I'm making air quotes here,
of the Lord. So, you know, and they're scattered out
through the year, starting in March, April of our year,
all the way down into October, September, October for the
last one. But the point is, this show is what
(02:10):
we would call an evergreen show. That is, the principles
of this are always applicable. So it doesn't have to be,
you know, have to be listening to it during the
feast of Yom Teruah to understand and have the relevancy
of what we're going to talk about and what this means.
Because it is, it goes right to our daily lives.
But the bottom line is, as Kevin and I have
(02:32):
already said, in Leviticus 23... There is a list of feasts,
seven feasts, that God says you are to do these perpetually. Now,
I know some people say, well, that means we've got
to celebrate them just like the Jews. Actually not, because
in those feasts, there is a Hebrew word called, and
this day is to be, first it says, these are
(02:53):
to be moeds, or in Hebrew, it would be moedim, moedim, moeds.
We would transliterate that into English. In other words, in
the plural. And moed means... It means a celebration, a gathering.
It means an appointed time. These are your seven appointed times.
But the other word that it says, and these shall
(03:14):
be a holy convocation for you. That's what most English says.
But in Hebrew, it says, and these shall be a
mikra for you. The word mikra means a rehearsal. Well,
the word rehearsal means this is not the real thing.
It's pointing to something else. Well, the apostle Paul, who
wrote half the New Testament, addresses that in several places,
(03:35):
but in Colossians chapter 2, he says, let no one
judge you by what you eat or what you drink
or a Sabbath day or even a feast day. And
he's talking about the seven feasts. He says, for these
were a mere shadow of what was to come in
Jesus Christ. So Jesus Christ has fulfilled all of the
seven feasts. I mean, I'll just start with the first one.
(03:57):
I'm not going to go through all seven because this
show is not about that. But to give the example,
the first one is Passover. Well, guess what? Jesus became
our Passover lamb on Passover. He became the unleavened bread
on Passover and unleavened bread. He became the firstfruits from
the dead on the Feast of Firstfruits, which all happened
within an eight-day period that year. So this is how
(04:18):
he fulfills them. And all of those things that had
been done for 1,500 years before, kind of in the
agricultural style or the style of the culture of ancient Israel,
those were all rehearsals for what was going to come
in Jesus Christ. As Paul said, they were all shadows
of what was going to become the reality in Jesus. So,
(04:39):
in other words, there's a relevance for us, always has been,
but now there's a huge relevance for us in these
prophetic times we're living in, the most prophetic times. since
the first coming of Jesus Christ. I've done shows on that.
We'll do some more in the future, but please trust
me on this. I know what I'm talking about. So
now the reason I've honed in on this is because
(05:01):
as we're making this show today, we're pretty close to
the Feast of Trumpets or Yom Teruah, the Day of Blasting.
But again, the relevancy is forever and forever. So just
hear me out, and I will give you some history,
and I think this will help you understand some things.
Because people have questions about it. It's also called Rosh
(05:22):
Hashanah in Hebrew. Rosh means head. Hashanah means new year.
The head of the new year. Well, but that's funny.
That happens in the first day of Tishri in the Hebrew,
which is supposed to be the first day of the
seventh Hebrew month. Now, the Hebrew months do not line up.
With the Gregorian calendar that we use, they usually overlap,
(05:44):
like Tishri overlaps September and October of our years. So
every year, the specific date of the first day of
Tishri is a different day. But here's the thing. I
want to give a little history of this. People ask, well,
why is the fall considered Israel's new year? When did
that start? Because in Exodus 12, when the Passover was given,
(06:08):
God says specifically, this is to be the first month
of your new year forever. That's the month of Nisan. Nisan.
Nisan the first. And in that month falls the Passover. Well,
where did this seventh month, Tishri, become the new year
for Israel? Well, I'm getting ready to tell you. And
(06:30):
by the way, in the list of seven feasts in
Leviticus 23, there's nothing said about it being the head
of the year or Rosh Hashanah or the new year. Nothing.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that. Nowhere. Well,
where did this come from? First of all, the month
name of Tishri is not even a Hebrew word. It's
not even a Hebrew month. It's Babylonian. You remember the
(06:53):
Jews eventually wound up in Babylonian captivity for 50, well,
almost 70 years total. And they had adopted some of
the Babylonian customs. Now, I've done a show here, and
I'm not going to get into this. This is deep weeds.
On Easter, among evangelical Christians, that comes from Babylon as well.
And I've written books on it. My ministry partner out
(07:15):
of Israel has written books on it, Zef Barat. And
the scholarship that shows that is just beyond compare. So
the reason I brought that up is because people, they
get on to the Israelis, say, well, don't they know
this is Babylonian? That's pagan. Well, don't the churches know
that Easter is Babylonian and pagan too? You're not celebrating
(07:37):
the resurrection of Christ on Passover. You're celebrating it on Ishtar,
the goddess of fertility. The Roman Empire started that in
the early church. Under Constantine. But anyway, so I'm saying
don't be beating up on the Jews because we do
it too. And you say, well, I didn't know that.
I know. And the Jews, most of them don't know
(07:59):
to this day. And they say, well, it's a civil
new year. What does that mean? It's nowhere in the Bible.
It's been nowhere in your tradition until you were taken
into captivity. Well, the bottom line is in that time
of year in Babylonian captivity, the Babylonians, the pagans, they
celebrated their God, Marduk. Marduk was supposedly the creator of
(08:23):
the universe, and so they would have parties in the
streets and make noise and all of that, and they
would celebrate their God. He made everything. Well, we know
it's Yahweh that made everything, Yeshua himself, and the Bible
doesn't say what date or what time, but the Babylonians
That time was not even the Babylonian new year. It
(08:46):
was the second half of the Babylonian year. The Babylonian
new year started at what the Hebrews would call Nisan.
I mean, it's crazy when you think about this. And
they weren't even trying to keep God's law. They just,
that's when they started the new year. It fell in
spring when everything was becoming new. So anyway, it's a
(09:07):
big mess, and I just want people to know what
this is all about before we get to the real
relevance of it. But it is a big mess of
misunderstanding and misinformation. You can go on Internet websites and
ask rabbis, why do you celebrate the first of the
year in Tishrei? And by the way, what is the
(09:27):
real name of the real month? 1 Kings 8, verse 2.
Solomon is dedicating the temple, and the Bible says, and
he did it in the seventh month of Itamin. Itamin
is the Hebrew word for the seventh month. It's found
in 1 Kings 8, verse 2. It's right there. You
never hear a Jew anywhere in the world speak of Itamin.
(09:50):
It's always Tishri. That comes from the Babylon. From Babylon.
It's a party and celebration in honor of Marduk. Now,
the Jews don't look at it like that. that. Of course,
I'm not saying that no more than Christians are really
worshiping an Easter bunny or anything, but it all fits
at that time, and that's why we speak to these things. Christians,
(10:10):
wake up. It's not Easter. It's Passover. Jews, wake up.
It's not the head of the new year. It's not
even Tishri. It is one of the seven feasts of
the Lord that serves another purpose unto itself. It has
nothing to do with what you guys are talking about.
I mean, it's that simple. I'm not being ugly. I'm
beating up on Christians as well as Jewish people because
(10:31):
the mythology and the traditions that are passed on. That's
why Jesus told the Pharisees, and this got him on
the cross. He said, you know, by holding to your traditions,
you are nullifying the word of God. You're nullifying the
word of God. And so that's what they did. And
I know, I mean, I've been in Christian churches for
(10:53):
a long time. And every now and then I hear
preachers talk about, well, those Jewish people, they just couldn't
see what was right before their eyes. And I want
to raise my hand. Of course, I won't do that
in church. I'm going to raise my hand and say, preacher,
I saw your sign that Easter on your front yard.
You're doing the same thing. There's no connection there, but
you think there is because that's been your tradition and
(11:15):
your family's tradition and your denomination's tradition for X number
of years, but you don't even know what it's really
all about. Same thing with the Feast of Yom Teruah.
And the thing is, the Bible says that it's supposed
to be celebrated on one day. To this day. The
(11:37):
Jews celebrated on two days, and they blew 100 trumpets,
and they gave a name to each of the trumpets,
and the sound of the trumpets, each of the 100.
The Bible didn't say anything about any of that. It says,
on this day, the first day of Etamin, the seventh month,
blow the trumpets throughout the land. And when we come
(11:59):
back from the break, I'll tell you why that was done,
and then we're going to get to the detailed relevance
to our life. Looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This is Irrelevant Word with Pastor Carl Gallups, and we'll

(12:40):
For more on Pastor Carl or to listen to his
podcast anytime, visit carlgallops.com. Welcome back to Irrelevant Words with
Pastor Carl Gallops. We're talking about the Feast of Trumpets today.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah. You brought that title up. Kevin, we're going to
talk about the Feast of Trumpets.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Okay, Carl. Yeah. What do you got to say about that? Yeah.
How do you make them? Are they fried trumpets or
oil trumpets? Yeah, do you saute those up? The feast
of trumpets. That's kind of funny, but, you know. No,
it's actually called the day of blasting or the day
of sounding the trumpets, if you will.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Tell you what, Carl, we went to school on segment one.
So there's a lot of information. Yeah, no, there really is.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But the point is, there's so much relevance to this.
I love teaching stuff, but more importantly, once I teach
the stuff, then make it relevant. I mean, I don't
want people walking away saying, okay, I learned a bunch
of stuff. So what? Wow, that's cool. It's called Yom
Teruah and not Feast of Trumpets. But what good does
that do me today? All right, well, you're getting ready
(13:44):
to find out. But the bottom line is, it is
one of the seven things. feast of the Lord found
in Leviticus chapter 23, and all were fulfilled in Yeshua
HaMashiach Adonai, in Jesus Christ our Lord. The Bible says that.
The New Testament says that. His life and ministry screams it.
(14:06):
The historical evidence of it is there. It was all
about him. It always has been. So what about the
Feast of Trumpets? Well, listen, it never fails with the
internet now that about every other year or every three years,
somebody comes up with a huge prediction of the rapture
is going to be this year and it's going to
be at the Feast of Trumpets. Well, first of all,
(14:26):
they're wrong. If they set a date, then Jesus said,
no man knows the date of the hour. I had
fun with this in my church several times where I
would stomp my foot and say, I can guarantee you, bam,
stomp my foot, that this feast of trumpets is not
the rapture because Jesus said nobody knows the day or
the hour. And the feast of trumpets is one day.
It falls on one day. And so if you say
(14:47):
that's the day, well, you're just calling Jesus a liar. Well,
I'm not going there. So I can, that's one prediction,
one prophecy I can make that I feel very, very
sure about. And others would say, well, it is going
to be on a feast of trumpets. Well, the Bible
doesn't say that either. Well, yes, it does. So the
trumpet's going to blow. Yes, but that's not necessarily connected
(15:08):
to the feast of trumpets. But what it is, is just, well,
I'll get into what trumpets mean in just a moment.
But what that, and I call it feast of trumpets,
but literally, you know, it means the day of blasting,
Yom Teruah. But again, the Jewish people set it as
their day of the first day of the new year.
But it's not. And if you listen to the first
(15:29):
part of this episode, you will hear all the facts
about that, the historical facts, the Hebrew linguistic facts. But
now we are into making it more relevant. So when
you come to this feast, when you come to this day,
Leviticus says, on this day, blow the trumpets throughout the land. Well, now,
the importance of that is because right behind it, 10
(15:50):
days later, comes the day, well, it's called Yom Kippur.
which means the day of covering or the day of atonement.
Some people call it the feast of atonement. Again, it's
not really a feast. It's a religious ritual, and I
use the word religious in the right way, but it's
a ritual given to the nation of Israel as a
(16:14):
yearly reminder that they've got to stay right with the Lord.
They've got to follow him in obedience and faith They're
surrounded by pagans and paganisms. It's so easy to fall
into all the sexual perversion, sexual sin, pagan worship. And
that particular day, the Feast of Atonement, was to let
them know, listen, get your heart right. And if the
(16:38):
high priest will take the blood of the sacrificial lamb, well,
there's Jesus again, eventually, and sprinkle it on the Ark
of the Covenant, That represents the presence of God in
the holy of holies, in the temple or in the tabernacle.
And if he does right, if he does it right,
and the people approach this day with solemnness and seriousness,
(17:02):
God says, I will forgive the sin of the land.
And for one more year, I will keep my hand
over you. And next year, you'll do it again. Well,
how do you kind of prepare for that? By the
blowing of trumpets and a 10-day interval to get your
house in order, your life in order, to get some
things taken care of. If you need to forgive somebody,
forgive them. If you need to apologize, you need to apologize.
(17:25):
If you need to make things right in your own
marriage or home or family or your own heart, you
need to get them right because we're now getting ready
to sacrifice lambs. We're getting ready for the high priest
to go into the Holy of Holies. Now, you can see,
for those of you that are students of God's Word,
you understand all of this is foreshadowing the coming of Jesus,
who is our high priest, who shed his own blood.
(17:46):
He did become the Lamb. He did go into the
Holy of Holies. He took his blood. And by that,
we are saved. By that, our sins are atoned for.
The day of atonement, you see. Well, what kicks all
that off? The day of blowing the trumpets. Now, trumpets
all throughout the Bible are a sound of warning. You know,
(18:06):
and even mourning doesn't have to be negative. It can see,
it can mourn that the king is coming. Okay. So
be on your, you know, P's and Q's. Everybody be ready.
The king's on his way. It could be the sound
of battle. It could be a sound of the enemies approaching.
It could be a sound of calling to worship. It
could be some of all of that. So trumpets were
used in that way. They're awesome to blow those shofars.
(18:29):
Throughout those hills and valleys, hundreds and hundreds of them
sounding with that haunting, almost eerie, but yet so worshipful
spiritual sound. It's an amazing thing to hear, and I've
heard it before in that way. And it is otherworldly.
And so that's what it was all about. So getting
people ready for the day of atonement, if you will.
(18:52):
And so when you look at this, I want to
consider a couple more things and I'll get to the punch,
the power punch point of the relevancy. But in the
book of Revelation, there are a series of seven trumpets.
In the book of Joshua, chapter 6 in the Old Testament,
there are a series. of seven priests with seven trumpets.
(19:13):
In Revelation, it's seven angels with seven trumpets. The two
go together. The one in Joshua is a foreshadowing of
what's getting ready to happen in Revelation. The one in
Joshua is when they entered the promised land, coming out
of 40 years of captivity and wandering in the wilderness,
they crossed the Jordan River, and the first big thing
in front of them is the city of Jericho, a
great walled city of paganism, godlessness, and military strength. And
(19:39):
the people said, how are we going to overcome this
And instead of being told by Joshua, who was leading
them into the promised land, by the way, that guy's
name is English, but if you put it in English, Hebrew,
it's Yeshua or Yehoshua. I mean, a guy named Jesus
is going to lead God's people to the promised land. Wow.
Look at the symbolism there. And first they have to
(20:01):
cross over Jordan. And what do I see coming for
to carry me home? I mean, all of the symbolism
is right there. And then how they defeat Jericho is
actually happened. I've seen the ruins of it myself. And
it's just like the Bible says. The walls came tumbling down.
There was an earthquake or something at just the right time.
(20:23):
They were told you cannot defeat it with bows and
arrows and swords and spears. But here's how we're going
to defeat it. For seven days, the seven priests will
walk around the city with the Ark of the Covenant
seven days in a row. Seven, seven, seven. Seven days
in a row, seven priests, seven trumpets, and all the
(20:44):
people of Israel are to follow. And you march around
the city. That's all you do. You don't fire an arrow.
You don't toss a spear. Nothing. You just do that.
On the seventh day, the seven priests blow seven trumpets.
And the walls came tumbling down. And the Bible says,
and the people of God went up into the promised land,
(21:05):
led by a man named Jesus. Now, that was, I mean,
that was his name. He's a real guy and he
wasn't Jesus, but he's a type of that. The whole
thing serves also it not only actually happened, but in
the future. It would be fulfilled in the whole Christ
event and then the whole rapture event and then all
of that. So all of that's wrapped up. Then you
get to Revelation, the last book of the Bible. What
(21:26):
do you find? Lo and behold, seven trumpets. Now you
hear Jesus in Matthew 24 say, and after the tribulation
of those days, he's talking about the last days, he says,
the Son of Man will call for his angels from
the four corners of the earth. There will be a
shout from heaven and a trumpet blast, and he will
gather his elect from the four corners. Wow, there's the rapture.
(21:49):
Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 says, Behold, I tell you
a mystery. We will not all be left behind. We
will be changed if we are still here. And we
will be changed and caught up in the clouds to
be with him at the sounding of the last trumpet.
And then in 1 Thessalonians 4, he says it again,
(22:11):
except he just says at the sound of the trumpet.
He's already said it's the last trumpet. Then in Revelation
chapter 10, verse 7, John, the revelator, he's shown the
whole end, and he is told, behold, the mystery of God.
In the day that the last trumpet is about to blow,
the seventh trumpet, the mystery of God will be revealed.
(22:32):
Then you get to chapter 11, and it says, and
the seventh trumpet blew, and a voice from heaven shouted,
come up here. And they went up in the clouds.
And the next scene, you see the redeemed of the
earth around the throne room worshiping the Lord. And then
after chapter 11, there are 11 more chapters of Revelation,
and the word trumpet is never mentioned. It is literally
(22:55):
the last trumpet. And John introduces it in chapter 10
by saying, the mystery of God will be revealed at
the last trumpet. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15, behold,
I'll tell you the mystery. At the last trumpet, we
will be caught up together with him. So the bottom
line is the Feast of Trumpets really is a daily thing.
It falls in the fall because it's right before Yom Kippur,
(23:18):
that great day of you better be under the blood,
you better be redeemed, you better be ready, and you
better be right. That's right with God. That's what it
all means. And so it's kind of an everyday thing,
just taking some introspection, examining ourselves, reexamining ourselves. We live
in extremely prophetic times. The Feast of Trumpets is really
(23:39):
the everyday sound of the Holy Spirit speaking to our
heart and our mind about our own lives and about
our own commitment and about our own courage, our own
ambassadorship for the kingdom. And that's who we are. The
trumpets are for us. It's a sound from heaven that
I am going to make this right, and I am
coming again. Be ready. Thank you, Carl. I've learned a lot. Well,
(24:06):
I appreciate that. I really have.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
This has been an eye-opening couple of sessions here, and
I really appreciate you bringing that message today.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Well, thank you. It's my pleasure, and thank you for
helping me do that. And, you know, as I said,
I love to teach stuff, and I hope you learned
a lot of good stuff, historical stuff, biblical stuff, some
biblical words, some Hebrew words. But more important even than that,
of course, you've got to learn it first. But once
you learn it, the most important thing is, so what?
What difference does it make to me? Well, the whole
(24:35):
thing is, in the fall, just be thinking about this.
You may not celebrate the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Teruah.
You know, the Orthodox Jews who don't worship the Lord Jesus,
they don't get all this. But when you see the
whole Word of God and what Jesus did, you understand.
It's all about you, folks. It's all about you being
right with Him. So thank you so much for listening.
(24:57):
This has been a word for you. From the Word
of God, a relevant word, Pastor Carl Gallups. May the
Lord bless you and keep you always.
