But the seventh trumpet is not the last trumpet. It's the seventh trumpet! It's the last of the seven, but this one is specifically the last trumpet for the call. It's the same trumpet mentioned in 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 about the rapture because he says, "For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised."
This trumpet is not an actual trumpet. In the Hebrew, it's the word Shofar. It is a ram's horn. They blow them even in Israel today. It's played for the gathering of the armies. It's sounded from the top of the temples for the priests to come do their daily duties at the temple.
What I find interesting with this is that in Revelation 19:14, it says, "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."
Now, I believe that Revelation 19:14 is speaking of the Second Coming. But who else could these armies be besides the church that will come back with Christ? At the beginning of this chapter, in Revelation 19:1, it speaks about a "great voice of much people in heaven," and they are giving praise to the Lord. This is before we even get to the Second Coming in Verse 14. Who are these "much people"?
Whoever they are, they are described as being at a marriage supper taking place in Heaven prior to the Second Coming, and they are also arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. So, are these armies saints who will come with Jesus when He returns?
So, this shofar will sound, the dead shall be raised incorruptible, not in their corruptible body, but a new body incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
