Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-54
We need to remember that Paul had written from a Jewish perspective and a Jewish upbringing. His writing's were directed to a Jewish audience. Paul knew that Jews would completely understand what he was referencing when he had tied the "last trumpet" into this amazing prophecy concerning a mystery of God. Additionally, why did Paul use the term, "we shall not all sleep?" What did sleep have to do with this anyway?
To understand what Paul was saying and pointing the reader to you have to have an elementary understanding of Jewish culture, history and feast days. Reminder, the videos below will explain all of these mystery's to you.
In the tradition of Rosh Hashanah, the blowing of the trumpet is meant to wake one up, or to wake us up from sleep and to pay attention! It's a blast to alert one to really two important things:
- Remember that the Lord God is The King of The Universe
- Remember who we are, God is our King, wake up and pay attention!
So, we see Paul is reminding us that we serve the God of all creation, the King of The Universe! We who believe are important to God because our identity is forever linked to Him through Christ for all eternity. Below you will find a web page that will help you to further understand the meaning of Rosh Hashanah and The Feast of Trumpets.

Allow me to point a few things out here. The video's below challenged some of my almost thirty-nine year understandings of scripture and events. It is not our desire to confuse or anger anyone with this information. This information is deep in thought, scriptural application and will challenge the viewer in what I believe to be a positive experience. It will cause you to pray through, in some cases, life long views and concepts. After praying through the information, use what you can and gracefully discard what you do not feel applies to you. Nothing in these video's can do any spitritual harm to anyone, but be ready to be challenged! Finally, Pastor Mark is a Messianic Jew and his teachings and application of scripture comes from that background.

'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand.' Ezekiel 33:6
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. 1Thessalonians 5:1-6
“My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or be listed in the records of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD. Because they lead my people astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace …” Ezekiel 13:9-10
