Corinthians 1. 5 5. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 5. The last trump. The trumpet was used to summon an assembly Exodus 2. Psalm 8. 1 3 Isaiah 1. Isaiah 2. 7 1. 3 or to sound a warning. The last trumpet is the one which concludes a series which have already been sounding at intervals in notes of warning to the nations Psalm 4. Isaiah 2. 7 1. 3 Jeremiah 5. This verse states with reiterated emphasis that this change shall not be a protracted process, but a sudden and momentary alteration in the condition of our bodies. Verse 5. 2. The trumpet shall sound. The Lord, he says, in 1 Thessalonians 4 1. God. The trumpet is, of course, only a natural symbol. It is also found in rabbinic writers, and in the Old Testament Zechariah 9 1. Revelation 1. 1 1. We shall be changed. The dead shall be changed by resurrection, the living by transition, into a glorified body. St. Paul, dealing with the essence of the question as it bore on the difficulties of his readers, says nothing here 1 of those who will arise to judgment, or 2 of any intermediate condition. As to the former question, he scarcely ever alludes to it with any definiteness, but seems with deliberate choice to contemplate the final and absolute triumph of good Romans 8 1. Romans 1. 1 3. 0 3. To the intermediate state he does not here allude. Introduction Phono Horn. Free Sound Dock for Your Smart Phone to Download and Make.

In 2 Corinthians 5 1 4 he says all that he has to say on this latter question. It was not prominent in the minds of the early Christians, who, as Calvin says, were awaiting the return of Christ from hour to hour. In a moment. Or point of time, which is very short indeed what a moment is, according to the Jewish doctors, See Gill on Matthew 4 8. In the twinkling of an eye these two the Jews not only put together as here, but make one to be as the other so they say k, a moment is as the twinkling of an eye. This phrase, as the twinkling of an eye, is frequently used in Jewish writings l, to signify how speedily ard suddenly anything is done, and which is the design of it here and the apostles meaning is, that the change upon the bodies of living saints will be so quick, that it will be done in a trice, before a man can shut his eyes and open them again so that it will be as it were imperceptible, and without the least sensation of pain this may also be referred to the resurrection, which will be quick, and done at once though it seems rather, and chiefly, to respect the change of the living what follows, indeed, favours the other sense also for all will be quick and sudden, the coming of Christ, the raising of the dead, and the change of the living at the last trumpet, for the trumpet shall sound or by the last trumpet, as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it that is, by means of it, through the sounding of that and the dead shall be raised incorruptible free from all frailty, mortality, and corruption, when the trumpet shall sound and at the same time also, we shall be changed the saints that will be found alive the apostle speaks in the first person, because of the uncertainty of Christs coming, and of the blowing of the last trumpet, he not knowing but it might be in his time what this last trumpet will be, is not easy to say it can hardly be thought to be a material one the Jews m have a notion, that a trumpet will be blown at the time of the resurrection of the dead, as at the giving of the law on Mount Sinai which will quicken the dead, as they say it then did and that this will be blown by Michael the archangel n it seems very likely to be the same with the shout, the voice of the archangel, and the trumpet of God, 1 Thessalonians 4 1. Christ at the hearing of which, the dead will rise but whether this will be an articulate one, as at the raising of Lazarus, or is only expressive of his power, which will then be put forth, is not material, nor a point to be determined and what if by all this should be meant some violent claps of thunder, as at Mount Sinai, which will shake the whole earth and when almighty power will be put forth to raise the dead since such are by the Jews o called the voices of the son of David, and are expected by them, a little before his coming This is called the last trumpet, not so much with respect to those that go before, much less to the seven trumpets in the Revelations, of which as yet there was no revelation made, but because there will be none after it see And the trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man heareth, they shall be suddenly afraid. 2 Esdras 6 2.

Or the Spirit by Paul hints that the other trumpets mentioned subsequently in the Apocalypse shall precede, and that this shall be the last of all compare Isa 2. Zec 9 1. 4. As the law was given with the sound of a trumpet, so the final judgment according to it Heb 1. Ex 1. 9 1. 6. As the Lord ascended with the sound of a trumpet Ps 4. He shall descend Re 1. The trumpet was sounded to convoke the people on solemn feasts, especially on the first day of the seventh month the type of the completion of time seven being the number for perfection on the tenth of the same month was the atonement, and on the fifteenth the feast of tabernacles, commemorative of completed salvation out of the spiritual Egypt, compare Zec 1. Ps 5. 0 1 7. Compare His calling forth of Lazarus from the grave with a loud voice, Joh 1. Joh 5 2. 5, 2. 8. All the saints should not die, but all would be changed. In the gospel, many truths, before hidden in mystery, are made known. Death never shall appear in the regions to which our Lord will bear his risen saints. Therefore let us seek the full assurance of faith and hope, that in the midst of pain, and in the prospect of death, we may think calmly on the horrors of the tomb assured that our bodies will there sleep, and in the mean time our souls will be present with the Redeemer. Sin gives death all its hurtful power. The sting of death is sin but Christ, by dying, has taken out this sting he has made atonement for sin, he has obtained remission of it. The strength of sin is the law. None can answer its demands, endure its curse, or do away his own transgressions. Hence terror and anguish. And hence death is terrible to the unbelieving and the impenitent. Death may seize a believer, but it cannot hold him in its power. How many springs of joy to the saints, and of thanksgiving to God, are opened by the death and resurrection, the sufferings and conquests of the Redeemer In verse 5. 8, we have an exhortation, that believers should be stedfast, firm in the faith of that gospel which the apostle preached, and they received. Also, to be unmovable in their hope and expectation of this great privilege, of being raised incorruptible and immortal. And to abound in the work of the Lord, always doing the Lords service, and obeying the Lords commands. May Christ give us faith, and increase our faith, that we may not only be safe, but joyful and triumphant. Jump to Previous. Changed. Dead. Death. Decay. Eye. Flash. Free. Horn. Imperishable.
