The past has many lessons for us. We can often see what the future will look like by seeing the progression of what has already happened. The Feast of Trumpets pictures a transitional point in the human experience. No human can prepare for or imagine what this Feast pictures and no progressive look back can ready us. Let's look at this little festival that we often overlook, but that we cannot even fathom.
