To show how trumpets were used in the Old Testament as warnings to the people of God. To then show how we are now being warned of where we are in Bible Prophecy by current events that have taken place and that are currently taking place. To also show how trumpets are used in the New Testament to proclaim the return of Christ and the first resurrection. Finally, to ask: “What does all of this mean as far as the people of God are concerned?”
