What is the real function of a Trumpet in Praise Biblically

Calvary greetings
Please I actually want to know the real function of TRUMPET biblically because I have come to understand that Trumpet has a lot of spiritual functions but am yet to know the spiritual and the physical function of Trumpet.

I am as well confused seeing some Trumpeter using this instrument for funeral so i don't actually know the reason why this will so.

I need some contributions.
Thanks

Interesting. I've never considered the trumpet beyond a piece of creation that is under the physical law of decay. A trumpet by itself is nothing . . . useless . . . unless a human were to blow through it.

I cannot imagine a greater purpose for the trumpet more than to simply show the Power of God. When spoken of the trumpet in a prophetic way, there is no doubt that when Israel witnessed the use of, and seeming power that came through it, they were able to fully determine that indeed, their God was Truly the God of all. The trumpet, in my complete lack of study, would (at this point) be nothing more than a Holy Symbol of the Lord's Raw, Almighty Power.

Here's a "link" to the Scriptures about "trumpet" in Scripture. Maybe you will find your answer within them.

64 Bible verses about Trumpet

In scripture the trumpet is used as a call to assemble. It can be to assemble for war, in response to an alarm, or to worship. Numbers 10:1
Numbers 10:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. 3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

One of the Fall Feasts is the Feast of Trumpets predicting the return of Christ. Matthew 24; 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all 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. 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.

Does the trumpet contain the Lord's Power, or is it a symbol of His Power? And when the reality of the trumpet becomes known in the Matt 24:30 reference above, will we be amazed that God could have fulfilled that prophesy, announced by His horn?

You are asking for an explanation of symbolism in scripture. The old testament is full of symbolism, and there is power in it. The entire sacrificial system was a shadow of Christ, a symbol of Christ, and that system had so much power that the saints walked the streets of Jerusalem when the curtain in the temple split and Christ died in the flesh and was alive in the spirit. They had been forgiven their sin and were asleep in the Lord until then as it tells us in Matthews.

No, I don't think so. What I asked was this . . . .

"Does the trumpet contain the Lord's Power, or is it a symbol of His Power?"

I thought I answered this by illustrating a symbol of His power that has proved to have power. But whether those symbols have power or not seems to depend on our reaction to the symbols. We can refuse to recognize what they symbolize.

As in my illustration of the symbol of Christ having power to save, if the sacrificial system was used as the idol worshippers used their sacrifice, if it was used to feed a God instead of as blood given on the altar, it was detestable to Him.

Symbols are calls to us to use God's power.

I just believe as well that the power of the TRUMPET is beyond a physical analysis and explanation, like the Book of Joshua when God commanded Joshua to blow the trumpet for the wall of Jericho to fall.

I believe as well that trumpet is a spiritual weapon whereby God do use thru human to defeat the enemies.

God actually love sound base on my research as well, not just a sound or
anyhow sound but a spiritual and meaningful sound.

In so many occasion God have defeated the enemies with sound and praises just like in 2chronicles 20 vs 20 God defeated the nations that rose up against Judah during the reign of king Jehoshaphat.

And i also believe that the main instrument USED MOST IN PRAISING GOD in heaven is still Trumpet by research and i know as well that trumpet is approved from heaven above as one of the instrument in praising God which CHRISTIAN AND SOME CHURCHES don't normally use except keyboard and organ which i haven't actually see that in God's word.

This trumpet in Hebrew is called SHOFAR in the time of Israelite is just in our own dispensation and Era we used the Trumpet.


I appreciate all the contributions
God bless you

Great
But is a spiritual weapon that God loves as well and always pass thru to manifest is glory and power just like in the case of the wall of Jericho and Jehoshaphat
