Two men in a small village had a big dispute, which they could not resolve. So each decided to talk to the town sage. The first man told him his version of the story. When he finished, the sage said, “You’re absolutely right.” The next night, the second man called on the sage and gave his account. The sage responded, “You’re absolutely right.” The sage’s wife chided her husband. “Those men told you different stories and you told them they were both right. That’s impossible - they can’t both be right.” The sage turned to his wife and said, “You’re absolutely right.”
I felt that way when I began hearing different views on Revelation. Each version sounded right, but part of me kept saying, “that’s impossible – both can’t be right.” Well, I am glad to say that I am now sure that the Trumpets, like the Seals, foretell kinds of events and not literal, historical one-time events. Once that is accepted, their prophetic import can be appreciated.
Well-established in Scripture, loud trumpets represent endtime disclosures. They alert God’s people of war with the Beast and warn the world of impending judgment. Just like Jericho fell at the sound of the seventh trumpet, this old world is going to fall at the sound of the seventh Trump.
