<TITLE>13. Par 135-147</TITLE>L-135   Now notice the trumpets that we're speaking of, is a call together for either a feast, for war, for a person, some sacred day, or something like that. Notice. You say, "For a person?" Yeah. Or, for the year of jubilee, the announcing of the coming of freedom, when they could go back; now, we could take a complete morning on just that one thing. But, now, getting into the trumpets. You got the background now, of the Seals and the Church, now we're going into the trumpet. The trumpet sounded, and the trumpet denotes either war, or a feast day. Or, what it means, is, "a gathering together of the people," the trumpet.

L-136 Paul said, "When the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who can prepare themselves for war, or for peace, or whatever it is?" Who knows? You have to know what the trumpet sounds.

L-137 Therefore, when the trumpet sounds, we see something in the earth today. There is a great trouble somewhere. Everybody knows it. Everybody has become a neurotic. The whole world is a neurotical world, and we know there is something wrong. The Pentagon, everywhere, we know there is something wrong.

L-138   Now, the only way you'll know what the trumpet sound is, is to look what the Music Sheet says. See? That's all. It's a great symphony, see, and beating.

L-139 Like, Peter and the Wolf, see, when you... if the... And the--the composer has wrote the book, and the director must be in the same spirit of the composer. If he don't, he gives the wrong beat, and then the whole thing is out.

L-140 That's what's the matter today. We got too many directors in the... not in the Spirit of the Composer. They say, "The denomination, well, we believe this."

L-141 No matter what you say, the Bible is right. Beat it out according to the Sheet Music right here before it, then the great symphony of God's great act is playing out just right, then we can see the hour and where we're standing.

L-142   Now notice, the trumpet is to call together the people, assemble themselves together for something. Sometime it announced a important person.

L-143 Like in Joseph, they sounded the trumpet, and Joseph was appearing; which is a--a symbol of "the Great Trumpet" that we speak of, and get to after a while, in Isaiah. That says, "When the Great Trumpet sounds, when that ensign will be lifted up, up there; and then there'll come a time when the Great Trumpet will be sounded, and all the nations will gather to Jerusalem." That's when the Millennium starts; the Great Trumpet.

L-144   Now, this calling, of the feast of the trumpets, the approaching of something. Notice Revelation 8:7, if you want to write down. We notice the First Trumpet, there scattered hail, blood, fire, upon the earth; just exactly with Exodus, when God was calling His people out, of the exodus.

L-145 Now, the reason that these Seven Trumpets does not apply to this Church and this age, is because it's to Israel only. It's the calling, of the gathering of the people. And now there's only one significance in here that I want you to get to, in a few minutes, is where you'll see why this doesn't apply to this age that we're living in; the Seven Trumpets.

L-146   I know many people different with that, but I know it's this. I know it. Not because I'm saying you're saying it; because, I didn't get it from myself. My--my thought is not my own. Ever what It is that told me, if It's wrong, then it's wrong. But I'm not telling it by my own, I'm telling by what Somebody else has said. That Somebody else is the God that spoke to us and done all these things that He has done, and appeared, see, so I know it's right.

L-147   The--the gathering of Israel is the Trumpets. The Trumpets is to gather Israel. Notice, the very First Trumpet sound; blood, fire, hail, and everything, scatter the ground. See? What was He doing? Bringing Israel out of spiritual Egypt, see, back into his homeland.
