TESTING THE FAITH
Trumpet blasts to Jesus: 'We're awake' on Earth
Worldwide wave of horns, shouting planned in time zones across planet

This is yet another scheme of corrupt and perverse men to draw attention to themselves and to their ministries as being holy and righteous before the Lord, which they are not. Rather than being obedient to the Words and Commandments of Jesus Christ here is proposed yet one more “Spiritual Shortcut” that will no doubt become a “doctrine” and “tradition” of men to declare they are ready. – Ready for what? Ready for what they know not, ready for what they acknowledge not, Jesus Christ’s second coming after the great tribulation. These blind leading the blind are crying for The Day of The Lord. They are crying for their own demise and destruction at the righteous anger of The Lord against those who obey not the truth but instead walk in the darkness of their own council, walk in their own doctrines and traditions in the name of Christ.

 

Amos 5:18-19 Woe unto you (Cursed are you) that desire the day of the LORD!  To what end is it for you? The day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

 

Isaiah 13:6 Howl ye; (Cry aloud in terror) for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. (Upon whom shall this wrath and anger come? This judgment shall come first upon the House of The Lord – The Churches Denominations and those that put their trust in them.)

 

Ezekiel 9:1-7 (This is the central issue of the day of the Lord) He (The Spirit of The Lord) cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar. And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. (Realize that The Holy Ghost in that day will lift up and depart from all churches and denominations and they will lose their covering. He shall no longer strive in that day of sin righteousness and judgment for the judgment now is at hand.) And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side; And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. (These marks shall come upon the few True Prophets of God and few True Shepherds, the few True Watchmen on the walls, and the few who hear and take heed to their cry concerning the sin, perversion, and corruption that fill the church with all its doctrines and traditions of men. Those are the few who turn wholly from the great whore unto wholly loving obedience and a cleaving unto Jesus Christ Himself and His words and commandments.) And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: (This is the one shall be taken and one shall be left) but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city. (This is the day of the Lord – it is a day of terror, a great darkness of  Horror, [As Abraham saw it] it is a day of death, of blood, and of destruction. And  God Himself shall turn His back upon the perversity of the church, and the perverse that call themselves by His Name as they are destroyed. Even as God turned His back upon His Son’s death on the cross when Jesus took upon Himself the sin of the world and became sin.)


Isaiah 22:4-5 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people. For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

 

Isaiah 22:24-25 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, (The House of Jesus Christ and the Apostles) the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. (Every vessel in every church and denomination of men) In that day, (The Day of the Lord) saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; ( Every church and denomination and the members that trusted therein shall be destroyed and brought to naught) and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

 

Isaiah 24:20-21 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, (The Day of the Lord) that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. (The Lord is speaking of those in the body of Christ who have made themselves to be kings over His heritage, and kings over the gentiles in direct disobedience to the words and commandments of Jesus Christ. And that these who have lifted up and exalted themselves shall be gathered together even as the Jews were gathered together in the Warsaw ghettos where they shall be starved, infested with lice and disease and they shall fight among themselves and kill each other over a morsel of food, and they shall do many evil and perverse things to one another that they might live and that the evil and perverse remnant shall be destroyed by the Lord Himself.)

   An American pastor who made news in April by studying NASA's eclipse calendar to speculate on the return of Jesus Christ to Earth is now planning a worldwide blast of trumpets this fall to get God's attention.

Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries in Bonney Lake, Wash., is organizing the global "Day of Shouting" for the evening of Sept. 29, marking the annual biblical holiday known as the Feast of Trumpets.

The event is still in its early planning stages, with Blitz posting this invitation on his website:

You know how at sporting events they have "the wave" where one group starts it and then it cycles all the way around back to the beginning? Do you remember how at the year 2000 they showed on television all the New Year celebrations going on around the world as the new millennium began? ...

Let's have an around the world shofar assembly in every time zone on the Feast of Trumpets at sunset announcing to Messiah we are awake and anxiously anticipating His return. What a dress rehearsal! Won't that stir His heart?

We will list on our website all the cities in the different time zones that are participating and hopefully we can get people from every tongue, tribe and nation participating as we join in proclaiming Yeshua (Jesus) as our coming King!

A shofar is a trumpet-like instrument made from the horn of a ram or other biblically clean animal, and was sounded not only at the new year and new moons, but also as a call to wake up and repent.

Trumpet blasts are common in both the Old and New Testaments, including:

·                     A trumpet was sounded for a long duration when God met Moses and the ancient Israelites at Mount Sinai. (Exodus 19:19)

·                     There was shouting and trumpet blasts when God brought down the walls of the ancient city of Jericho. (Joshua 6:20)

·                     The apostle Paul spoke of the last trumpet blast when believers will be resurrected and given immortality. (1 Corinthians 15:52)

Participants in the 2008 trumpet wave are asked to include the name of "the King" so people can shout it during the event. Besides Jesus, many have posted names such as Master, Prince of Peace, Lamb of God and Yeshua ha Meshiach (Jesus the Messiah).

Since announcing his plan, Biltz told WND, "The response has been phenomenal with people responding from Arabic countries as well as Asia, Europe, Africa and America."

Indeed, a chart of time zones and participants on his website shows residents in many time zones already signing up.

"Very happy to be part of this," writes Dawn Piper of Durban, South Africa. "Maranatha!"

Trevia Jimenez of Brooklyn, N.Y. said, "This is so cool. You go, Pastor Mark!"

As WND previously reported, Biltz, a minister who promotes the Old Testament roots of Christianity, suggests a rare string of lunar and solar eclipses said to fall on God's annual holy days seven years from now could herald what's come to be known as the "Second Coming" of Jesus.

"God wants us to look at the biblical calendar," he said. "The reason we need to be watching is [because] He will signal His appearance. But we have to know what to be watching as well. So we need to be watching the biblical holidays."
