Do the first thing first and then proceed to the second. To determine the last trumpet,
one must follow these two steps:
1. Determine what the sound of the trumpet is
2. Use info from point #1 to identify what the last use is
Many use this verse to say the last of seven trumpets in Rev is the last trumpet:
1Co 15:52 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.
But their whole approach is completely backwards. Many people have the mindset
of going at it backwards. They follow these steps:
1. Identify the last use
2. Use info of point #1 to determine what the sound of the trumpet is.
That is saying, "the last trumpet is the last of the seven trumpets blown in Rev, so
the sound of the last trumpet is an angel blowing a trumpet."
If they don't know what the sound of the trumpet is, they have no clue when
the last use of it will be. This backwards approach leads people to point out
the last of the seven trumpets, in Rev, is the last trumpet mentioned in 1 Cor 15:52.
IT CAN"T BE.
1. The sound of the trumpet is the voice of the Son of God (Ex chp 19 &20, Rev 1:10, Rev 4:1,
John 5:25)
2. The seven trumpets in Rev, are seven angels blowing a trumpet, not the same thing.
NOT the voice of the Son of God.
1 Cor was written around 55 AD and Rev was written around 95 AD, forty years later.
Paul refered to things already established and not to something coming forty years
later. The people would have been confused and God is not the author of confusion (1Cor 14:33)
When Paul was talking about speaking in tongues, he made a very good point that is useful here:
1Co 14:7-8 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give
a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? (8) For if the
trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
You simply have to know the sound of the trumpet. If you don't, how WILL you prepare yourself?
How WILL you determine the last use of the trumpet? The answer is simple: You Can't!
1. Identify the sound of the trumpet. Is it an angel blowing a trumpet OR the voice of
the Son of God?
2. Use the info determined in point #1 to determine a last use of it.
If you say its the voice of the Son of God then the seven trumpets blown by seven angels
is ruled out. If you say its the seventh angel blowing a trumpet, then you go against
scripture. Its that simple. People are confused about the issue and God isn't the
author of this confusion (1 Cor 14:33) People confuse themselves when they go
about it backwards.
