The Seventh Trumpet

The seventh month opens with "a day of blowing the trumpets" (Num 29:1), and the Jubilee shofar proclaims liberty (Lev 25:9). At Jericho the seventh trumpet on the seventh day brought the walls down (Josh 6:15-20). Daniel sees dominion given "to the people of the saints of the most High" (Dan 7:27). The book reads Revelation 11:15 as the coronation trumpet of Yom Teruah: the verdict announced before execution, judgment and reward at one appointed time. No earthly millennium follows; the kingdoms "are become" Yahuah's and the dead are judged in the same moment (Rev 11:18).
