We've all probably heard about 1 Corinthians 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.
Hebrews 12:9 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:
Revelation 1:10 "On the Lord's day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet.
When considering the last trump signifying the Rapture we think of the Feast of Trumpets on one hand; as it is traditionally known as the day when no one knows the day or hour as the new moon sighting can be on one of 2 or perhaps more days depending on weather conditions and the time of sighting which signals its onset. When we examine the other references here it certainly could signify a heavenly trumpet instead. That is the most likely scenario; as those who are caught up will come from all parts of the world.
We also are reminded that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of understanding; thus I look at Psalm 40 as a prophetic warning of the Rapture. Psalm 40:1-3 state I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
I'll let the reader examine references to patiently waiting (n regard to spiritual reward); bringing us out of our bodies made of clay; and the new song in heaven. My point here is that many will come to faith after the Rapture out of fear as verse 3 says; likely indicating the multitude saved in the Tribulation.
Or; lets consider Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come...
