This day is, also, associated with the blast of a trumpet that signals the day has arrived and the culminating events of the age are upon them. Notice the following passages connecting the trumpet to the end of the age.
| Matthew 24:3,31 – …Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age? And He answered them saying…And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. | At the end of the age the elect were gathered. This would appear to be the time when saints are “caught up. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:52 – in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. | At the last trumpet, the dead were raised. |
| 1 Thessalonians 4:16 – For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. | At the trumpet, the Lord descends, and the dead in Christ were raised, first, i.e., before the living saints. |
| Revelation 10:7 – But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets. | The mystery is accomplished is accompanied by the seventh trumpet. But what is the mystery. |
| Ephesians 3:3-6 – that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. | The mystery is that the Gentiles are also to be included in the kingdom of God and salvation. |
| Revelation 11:15 – The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.” | The seventh trumpet is the last trumpet mentioned in the series of seven of this section of Revelation. |
