Jesus in the Feast of Trumpets.

There are two New Years Day in Judaism. One, according to Biblical time reckoning, begins on the first day of the month of Nisan or Abib, which is in the Spring. This month is roughly equivalent to our April:

“And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, this month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you”. Exodus 12:1,2.

The other, New Year’s Day, which the present-day Jews officially recognize and celebrate, is the first day of the seventh month according to the Jewish calendar and is called the month of Tishri which is in the fall. At the beginning of this month the Feasts of Trumpets was celebrated.

The Hebrew, Yom Teruah, "Day for blowing" was the name for this feast. In the Bible, it is referred to as Zikhron Teruah, or the Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets (Lev. 23:24), and Yom Teruah, the Day of Blowing of Trumpets (Num. 29:1). The "Feast of Trumpets" is a day of sounding trumpets in the Temple and throughout the land of Israel. There are few details in the Bible for the Feast of Trumpets. Israel was commanded to remember the day by blowing trumpets and to keep the day as a sabbath day of rest. Trumpets were used to notify, warn, or assemble Israel.
