3. 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).

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

5. God’s Voice Is Like a Trumpet
God’s voice is powerful like a
trumpet

resonates with much power, like the
sound of a trumpet, bringing about
fear, giving warnings, commandments
or proclamations

7. The 10 Commandments
Moses 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).

8. The Wall of Jericho
The 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)

9. 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)
