A Look at History When the children of Israel were in the

wilderness, they were commanded by God to make two silver trumpets

The trumpets were blown to call the people for assembly, the journeying of the camps, at every new moon and holy day, and over every offering made before God

The trumpets were also blown when Israel went out to war so they would be remembered before God, and be saved from their enemies (Numbers 10:1-10).


Blowing the Trumpet! One might ask, what is the significance of the

blowing of the trumpet?

Understand this, the trumpet and the sound thereof represents the voice of God

A trumpet is an instrument with a powerful penetrating tone

The powerful sound or alarm of the trumpet proclaims that something important is or will be taking place


God’s Voice Is Like a Trumpet

God’s voice is powerful like a trumpet

When God speaks his voice resonates with much power, like the sound of a trumpet, bringing about fear, giving warnings, commandments or proclamations


Looking at the Scriptures

There are many examples in the Bible that describe or show the voice and power of God as the sound of a trumpet


The 10 CommandmentsMoses was on Mt. Sinai receiving the Ten

Commandments from God

The children of Israel looked unto Mt. Sinai which was covered in smoke because the Lord descended on it with fire (Exodus 19: 18)

The people saw thundering and lightening and heard the noise of a trumpet

The people were afraid and told Moses that they did not want God to speak to them for fear they would die (Exodus 20:18-19).


The Wall of JerichoThe walls protecting the city of Jericho fell down because of the alarming sound of trumpets

For six days, Joshua along with men of war and seven priests bearing trumpets made from rams’ horns, compassed Jericho once a day

However on the seventh day, God told Joshua to have the men of war and the priests compass the city seven times after which the priests were to blow the trumpets

When the priests made a long blast with the rams’ horns, Joshua and all the men of war shouted with a great shout and the walls of the city fell (Joshua Chapter 6)


The End of Time Finally, at the time of redemption of God’s

children, the trumpet will sound.

“And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven: and then shall the tribes of the earth mourn,

and they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send

his angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of

heaven to the other” (Matthew 24:30-31)
