. THE "TRUMPET BLAST". "Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet; and voices were heard in heaven shouting: 'The sovereignty of the world has passed to our Lord and His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever!" (Rev 11:15 NEB). "The time draws near when I shall judge those who live on the earth… There shall be a loud trumpet blast and it shall strike terror into all who hear it." (From 2 Esdras 6:18-24 NEB). "With a trumpet blast he (The Christ) will send out his angels, and they will gather his chosen from the four winds, (1) from the farthest bounds of heaven on every side." (Matt 24:31 NEB). "Listen! I will unfold a mystery: we shall not all die, but we shall all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet-call. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise immortal, and we shall all be changed." (1 Cor 15:51,52 NEB). "Whoever
is left after all that I have foretold, he shall be preserved, and
shall see the deliverance that I bring and the end of this world of mine.
They shall all see the men who were taken up into
heaven without ever knowing death.
Then shall men on earth feel a change of heart and come to a better mind.
Wickedness shall be blotted out and deceit destroyed, but fidelity shall
flourish, corruption be overcome, and truth, so long unfruitful, be brought to light." (2 Esdras 6:25 (1) FOUR WINDS: See Rev 7:1-4 and Page (12/11/85A) of The Opened "Little Scroll".
