Introduction:
In the Bible, trumpets hold significant ceremonial, military, and eschatological roles. They are mentioned throughout both the Old and New Testaments, symbolizing God's communication with His people, calls to worship, and divine intervention in human affairs.

Old Testament Usage:
Trumpets in the Old Testament were primarily made of silver or ram's horns, known as shofars. They were used for various purposes, including religious ceremonies, signaling in battle, and marking important events.

1. Religious Ceremonies:
Trumpets were integral to Israel's worship and religious life. In Numbers 10:2, God commands Moses, "Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out." These trumpets were used to gather the people and announce the beginning of festivals and sacrifices (Numbers 10:10).

2. Military Significance:
Trumpets were also used in warfare. In Joshua 6:4-5, the Israelites are instructed to march around Jericho with priests blowing trumpets, leading to the miraculous fall of the city's walls. Judges 7:22 describes how Gideon's army used trumpets to confuse and defeat the Midianites.

3. Signaling and Announcements:
Trumpets served as signals for various occasions. Leviticus 25:9 mentions the use of a trumpet to proclaim the Year of Jubilee, a time of liberation and restoration.

Feast of Trumpets:
The Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashanah, is one of the Jewish High Holy Days. Leviticus 23:24-25 states, "In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly announced by trumpet blasts." This feast marks the beginning of the civil year and is a time of reflection and repentance.

New Testament and Eschatological Significance:
In the New Testament, trumpets are associated with the return of Christ and the final judgment.

1. The Return of Christ:
Trumpets are prominently featured in eschatological passages. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Paul writes, "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first." This trumpet signifies the resurrection of believers and the gathering of the faithful.

2. The Book of Revelation:
The Book of Revelation contains several references to trumpets as instruments of divine judgment. Revelation 8-11 describes the seven trumpets, each heralding a specific judgment upon the earth. These trumpets serve as warnings and calls to repentance for humanity.

Symbolism and Themes:
Trumpets in the Bible symbolize God's voice and authority. They are instruments of both warning and celebration, representing divine intervention and the fulfillment of God's promises. The sound of the trumpet is a call to attention, urging believers to prepare for God's actions in history and the ultimate culmination of His plan.

Conclusion:
The use of trumpets throughout Scripture underscores their importance in God's communication with His people. Whether in worship, warfare, or prophecy, trumpets serve as powerful reminders of God's presence and His sovereign control over the events of the world.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Were of a great variety of forms, and were made of divers materials. Some were made of silver (Numbers 10:2), and were used only by the priests in announcing the approach of festivals and in giving signals of war. Some were also made of rams' horns (Joshua 6:8). They were blown at special festivals, and to herald the arrival of special seasons (Leviticus 23:24; 25:9; 1 Chronicles 15:24; 2 Chronicles 29:27; Psalm 81:3; 98:6).

"Trumpets" are among the symbols used in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 1:10; 8:2). (see HORN.)

Trumpets, Feast of

Was celebrated at the beginning of the month Tisri, the first month of the civil year. It received its name from the circumstances that the trumpets usually blown at the commencement of each month were on that occasion blown with unusual solemnity (Leviticus 23:23-25; Numbers 10:10; 29:1-6). It was one of the seven days of holy convocation. The special design of this feast, which is described in these verses, is not known.

TRUMPETS, FEAST OF

1. Description:

In Leviticus 23:23-25 the first day (new moon) of the seventh month is set apart as a solemn rest, "a memorial of blowing of trumpets" (the Hebrew leaves "of trumpets" to be understood), signalized further by "a holy convocation," abstinence from work, and the presentation of "an offering made by fire." In Numbers 29:1-6 these directions are repeated, with a detailed specification of the nature of the offering. In addition to the usual daily burnt sacrifices and the special offerings for new moons, there are to be offered one bullock, one ram, and seven he-lambs, with proper meal offerings, together with a he-goat for a sin offering.

2. Significance:

The significance of the feast lay in the fact that it marked the beginning of the new year according to the older calendar. Originally the "revolution" of the year was reckoned in the fall (Exodus 23:16; Exodus 34:22), and the change to the spring never thoroughly displaced the older system. In fact the spring New Year never succeeded in becoming a specially recognized feast, and to Jewish ears "New Year's Day" (ro'sh ha-shanah) invariably signifies an autumnal festival. So the Mishna (Ro'sh ha-shanah, i.1): "There are four periods of commencement of years: On the 1st of Nisan is a new year for kings and for festivals; the 1st of Elul is a new year for the tithe of cattle..... The 1st of Tishri is new year's (day) for the ordinary or civil year, for the computation of 7th years, and of the jubilees; also for the planting of trees, and for herbs. On the 1st of Shebat is the new year for trees."

3. Ritual:

The ritual for the day consequently needs little explanation. All new moons were heralded by trumpeting (Numbers 10:10), and so the custom was of course observed on this feast also. There is nothing in the language of either Leviticus 23 or Numbers 29 to require a prolongation of the music on this special new moon, but its special distinction was no doubt marked by special trumpeting at all times, and at a later period (see below) elaborate rules were laid down for this feature. The additional sacrifices simply involved an increase of those prescribed for new moons (Numbers 28:11-15), without changing their type. Perhaps Psalm 81 was especially written for this feast (compare 81:3).

4. Origin:

Mentions of a special observance of the 1st of Tishri are found also in Ezekiel 45:20 (reading, as is necessary, "first day of seventh month" here for "seventh day") and Nehemiah 8:1-12. In the former passage, the day is kept by offering a bullock as a sin offering and sprinkling its blood in a way that recalls the ritual of the Day of Atonement. In Nehemiah an assembly of the people was held to hear Ezra read the Law. The day was kept as a festival on which mourning was forbidden (Nehemiah 8:9). Apart from these references there is no mention of the feast elsewhere in the Old Testament, and, indeed, there is some reason to think that at one time the 10th, and not the 1st, of Tishri was regarded as the beginning of the year. For Ezekiel 40:1 specifically calls this day ro'sh hashanah, and Leviticus 25:9 specifies it as the opening of the Jubilee year (contrast the Mishna passage, above). Consequently scholars generally are inclined to assign Leviticus 23:23-25 and Numbers 29:1-6 to the latest part of the Pentateuch (Ps). This need not mean that the observance of the 1st (or 10th) of Tishri was late, but only that the final adoption of the day into Israel's official calendar, with a fixed ritual for all Israelites, was delayed. If the original New Year's Day fell on the 10th of Tishri, its displacement ten days earlier was certainly due to the adoption of the 10th for the Day of Atonement. An explanation of the date of the latter feast would be gained by this supposition.

5. Later History:

The instrument to be used in the trumpeting is not specified in the Bible, but Jewish tradition decided in favor of the horn and not the metal trumpet, permitting for synagogue use any kind of horn except a cow's, but for temple use only a straight (antelope's) horn and never a crooked (ram's) horn (Ro'-sh ha-shanah, iii. 2-4). According to iv. 1, when the new year began on a Sabbath the horns were blown only in the temple, but after its destruction they were blown in every synagogue. Every Israelite was obliged to come within hearing distance of the sound (iii.7). In the synagogue liturgy of iv.5-9 (which forms the basis of the modern Jewish practice), four sets of "benedictions" were read, and after each of the last three sets the horn blown nine times. Modern Judaism sees in the signals a call to self-examination and repentance, in view of the approaching Day of Atonement.
