The Feast of Trumpets, also known as Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah, marks the Jewish New Year according to the biblical calendar. It commemorates the beginning of the fall harvest season and prophetically points to end times events in God's plan of salvation. The blowing of the trumpet on this feast is likened to the last trumpet that will sound at the rapture of the church, gathering believers to meet the returning Jesus in the air. The 100 trumpet blasts, with the final one longest, picture the trumpet blast announcing Christ's second coming to earth to establish his kingdom.
4. Leviticus 23:23-25 (NKJV)

trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You
shall do no customary work on it; and
you shall offer an offering made by fire to
the LORD.’”
