geddon, at the time of the Revelation. Since nations will come
from everywhere to battle in Israel, the odds will overwhelm
Israel with fear and helplessness.
“Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to the
land of Israel: The end! The end has come upon the four cor-
ners of the land. The end is now upon you and I will unleash
my anger against you. An unheard of disaster is coming. The
end has come! The end has come!… The time has come, the
day has arrived. Though they blow the trumpet and get every-
thing ready, no one will go into battle, for my wrath is against
the whole crowd”
(Ezek. 7:2-3, 5-6, 12, 14).
Apparently, trumpets were sounded for 30 days prior to
Rosh HaShanah. This would be during the month of Elul, dur-
ing the season of Teshuvah (the time of repentance). The last
trumpet was heard on the day of Rosh HaShanah. In the fu-
ture, with this last trumpet, the Day of the Lord is officially an-
nounced as coming in 10 days! The 10 “Days of Awe” officially
begin at Rosh HaShanah—10 days before the Revelation of Je-
sus the Messiah as Jehovah God Almighty on Yom Kippur! It
appears that the 10 days of awe end with a great trumpet on
that day of the Lord. In Zephaniah, chapter 1, the Day of the
Lord is defined as a day of trumpet and battle cry.
“That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and an-
guish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness, a day of trumpet and battle cry
against the fortified cities and against the corner towers. Their
blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like filth.
In the fire of His jealousy, the whole world will be consumed,
