Quoteworthy....The Silver Trumpets

And the LORD spoke to Moses saying: Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movements of the camp... when you go to war in your land against the enemy who opposes you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies. Also in the days of your gladness, in your appointed feasts...you shall blow the trumpets."
    -- Numbers 10: 2, 9, 10


Reminds me of Susan in the Chronicles of Narnia. Aslan gave her a special horn to blow in times of distress.

But these silver trumpets were to be used for many things -- to call the people together, to announce travel instructions and to call out to God when facing the enemy.

And we also have two trumpets: God's Word and prayer. We can call on God when we need direction in our journey,  when we need help in opposing the enemy, and when we want to call on our friends and spiritual family members.We can read His Word and determine His path for us and find help to combat the enemy.  We can gather with our spiritual family and read His Guidebook, sharing and gleaning spiritual truth from others.

There are many trumpets in Scripture. From Exodus all the way to Revelation.

In Exodus: 

On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled...the smoke billowed up like smoke from a furnace...and the trumpet grew louder and louder. Then Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him. (Exodus 19)


In Revelation there are seven trumpets mentioned. The final one:

The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven which said:


  "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever." (Revelation 19)


Remember our revival? Our special trumpet call? 

G I N Y  -- God I Need You!


And His answer? G I N Y back -- Grace Is Now Yours!


We must all have our trumpets ready as we go out into the world --


Remember these words?

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more....when the morning breaks eternal, bright and fair...when the saved on earth shall gather over on the other shore...and the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there!

We're sure anxious to hear that trumpet!
