The reason I ask this question is simply because Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:51-53
Behold, I shew 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 trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.- KJV
The Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashana) is biblically a 1-day event (see Leviticus 23). But around 500 b.c. became a 2-day event through changes the Jews made. The Feast involves many eloborate trumpet blowing through the use of a Shorfar (Ram's Horn). The Feast itself actually starts 29 days before the declared day. By the time you get to the end of the Feast of Trumpets - when it finally finishes - there will have been 100 total trumpet blowings. On the Feast of Trumpets there is a climactic trumpet blowing. The last blast is a long steady blast which is known as "The Last Trump" which Paul alludes to in 1 Cor. 15:52.
Paul was a Pharisee, the term "Last Trump" was obviously idiomatic of the climactic trumpet blowing of the Feast of Trumpets. So wouldn't this mean that the Feast of Trumpets would be the Feast on which the Rapture would take place?
