In ancient Greek literature, the SOUNDING OF TRUMPETS was characterized as MEN SPEAKING. In other words, MEN WITH AUTHORITY SPOKE AS TRUMPETS. Generally, it is those men with a seat of Power and Crown of authority which represent the Trumpet sounds.
Likewise in Scripture it’s the same. As Isaiah was told by the LORD, Cry aloud, spare not; LIFT UP YOUR VOICE LIKE A TRUMPET, tell My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.[1] And When the Apostle John received the Revelation, he stated: I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I HEARD BEHIND ME A LOUD VOICE, AS OF A TRUMPET.[2]
And again John mentions the same thing saying; and THE FIRST VOICE WHICH I HEARD WAS LIKE A TRUMPET SPEAKING WITH ME, saying; Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.[3]
Finally, we might say like Father like son: for even God himself speaks as THE SOUND OF A TRUMPET; AND WITH THE VOICE OF WORDS, so that those who heard it begged that the Word should not be spoken to them anymore.[4]
The Sound of the Trumpets have been echoing through the corridors of this Country for some time. Yet God has put a veil over the hearts of many people so that they should not hear. It was the same thing God did to Ancient Israel. For it is written; the Lord has NOT GIVEN YOU a HEART TO PERCEIVE AND EYES TO SEE AND EARS TO HEAR, TO THIS VERY DAY.
These voices have been sounding for so long that at this point one would think God would say again; Go, and tell this people: Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive![5]
There have been many Prophecies speaking about the Trumpets, yet the cry has been silenced by the noise of the multitudes. Just as Ancient Israel decided; we must also decide as a Nation of People, whether or not we desire to hear the voice of God. We must return to the mountain to settle the issue!
And when the blast of the Trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and GOD ANSWERED HIM BY VOICE.[6] Now all the People witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, and THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET, and the mountain smoking. And WHEN THE PEOPLE SAW IT, THEY TREMBLED and stood afar off.
Then they said to Moses, YOU SPEAK WITH US, AND WE WILL HEAR; BUT LET NOT GOD SPEAK WITH US, LEST WE DIE.[7]
What do you prefer O People and Nation? Do you prefer God’s messenger to speak or would you like God himself to speak. Which?
