The Trumpet Call of the End Times: Jonathan Cahn’s Prophetic Message on Rosh Hashanah

The sound of the shofar is more than just an ancient instrument — it is the cry of the watchman, a call of alarm, a warning that danger is near. It shakes us awake, reminding us that God’s appointed times are unfolding right before our eyes. As we enter the biblical Days of Awe, we are drawn into the mystery of the Feast of Trumpets — a mystery that speaks to Israel, the nations, and to each one of us in the last days.

Jonathan Cahn reminds us that every biblical feast reveals the pattern of God’s plan. The spring holy days — Passover, Firstfruits, and Pentecost — were fulfilled at Messiah’s first coming. Passover marked redemption, Firstfruits revealed the resurrection, and Pentecost released the Spirit to begin the great harvest of the nations. But then comes a long pause — the summer harvest — the very age in which we now live.

Yet the cycle doesn’t end there. The autumn feasts remain — and these are mysteries of the second coming. The Feast of Trumpets is not the beginning of the year, as tradition says, but the closing of the sacred cycle. It is the day of the trumpet blast — a sign of warning, of war, of judgment, but also of gathering, of victory, and of the coming King.

The shofar is a sound of urgency. It tells us the last days will be marked by conflict, alarms, and trials. But it also proclaims the power of God, as at Jericho, when walls fell before the blast. It summons God’s people to come together, just as Israel has been regathered from the nations in our time. It warns of judgment — reminding us that history is racing toward its appointed conclusion.

Prophetically, the Feast of Trumpets cries out: Wake up. Remember. Repent. In a culture drowning in amnesia, where truth is forgotten and sin is normalized, the trumpet reminds us to hold fast to the Word of God. It calls believers to live holy, to resist compromise, to rise in boldness instead of shrinking back. The trumpet tells us the time is short. The harvest is almost over. Whatever we are going to do for the Lord, we must do now.

And above all, the trumpet declares: The King is coming. Just as the shofar was sounded to announce the arrival of Israel’s kings, so too it will herald the return of Messiah. The dead will rise, the living will be changed, and the kingdom of this world will become the Kingdom of our Lord forever.

Jonathan Cahn urges us to return — not only as Israel has returned to its land, but as the Church must return to its beginning: the Book of Acts. Radical, Spirit-filled, bold disciples who turned the world upside down. These are the days to live unafraid, to stand strong, to shine as witnesses when the darkness grows darker.

The trumpet is not a weak sound. It is the voice of God calling His people to victory. Be ready, for the trumpet will sound — and when it does, the age will give way to eternity.
