The Sound of the Trumpet
1 Corinthians 15:51-52, Behold, I show 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.
So, how will you react when the last trumpet sounds?
Here is how Israel reacted when the trumpet sounded as God was speaking to them face to face.
Exodus 19:16, And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mountain, and the voice of the trumpet was exceedingly loud; so that all the people that were in the camp trembled.
Exodus 19:18-19, And mount Sinai was covered in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and increased louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
Exodus 20:18-19, And when all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: they moved away, and stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, You speak with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
Exodus 20:22, And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
Hebrews 12:18-19, For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
Matthew 24:31, And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Malachi 3:2, But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
Who among us is prepared for his coming. Will not the mountains shake? Will not the sound of the trumpet cause all on the earth to tremble?
