The true last Trumpet
I know that after posting this that many will say that I'm not "rightly dividing the word of truth." Many teachers and preachers have presented doctrines and teachings that have corrupted people's minds from the simplicity that is in Christ. Sometimes people make things that are simple, so complex and complicated. My point is Jesus said He would return again and the angels testified "shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven"(Acts 1:11). That seem simple enough but in today's society Jesus' second coming is made to be (by man) a very complicated topic that few understand. So I'll get to the point. This is what the scriptures say
Events of Revelation 11:15-18 (7th[last] trumpet) SIZE="2"]15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.[/SIZE] 1-Kingdoms of this world become the Lords 2-Jesus reigns forever 3-God’s wrath comes 4-The time of the dead that they should be judged 5-Prophets, Saints, small & great receive their reward 6-He destroys them that destroy the world. Scriptures that confirm these events 1-Zechariah 14:9 2-Jeremiah 23:5, I Corinthians 15:25, II Timothy 2:12, Revelation 19:6 3-I Thessalonians 2:16, Colossians 3:6, Ephesians 5:6, Romans 1:18, Isaiah 13:9-13, Zephaniah 1:14-18, II Peter 2:9, Job 21:30, Isaiah 26:19-21, Matthew 3:7 4-Matthew 25:31-46, Daniel 12:2, Matthew 12:36, John 5:22,27-29, Romans 14:10, Hebrews 9:27 I Peter 4:5, II Timothy 4:1, John12:48, John 6:39,40,44,54, John 11:24 II Corinthians 5:10, II Peter 2:9, Romans 2:16, Jude 1:15, Isaiah 26:19 5- Matthew 16:27, Revelation 22:12, Luke 6:35, Luke 6:23, Mark 9:41, Matthew 5:12 6- Zechariah 14:3,12, Isaiah 13:9-13, Zephaniah 1:14-18, II Peter 2:9, Job 21:30, Isaiah 26:19-21, Matthew 3:7 Quote:
I know many disagree. But we are told to endure until the end Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13. How can we endure until the end if we're taken away 7 years before the end? So may say well it doesn't matter if you believe the rapture is before, during, or after the tribulation just as long as you believe Jesus is coming back. But their is a subtle danger in pre trib.

I will need to read your post more and study up. but from what I see is that this is a post tribulational comment by McKeever. If we have to endure then our salvation is not complete in Christ and our salvation is not by faith alone but also of works in this case enduring. there is truly no dispensational division being done here but a combining of scripture to make this teaching.
In Matthew it is Jews, not the body of Christ, that are told to endure compare with Rev 2-3 which is are also Jewish churches. the tribulation is Gods wrath pour out on unbelieving man and the finishing of Israel's Chastisement. Paul teaches we are saved from the wrath. Namely because Christ bore the wrath of God's judgement for our sins on the cross. these are just a few of the verse that come to mind as our not going through any part of the 7 year Tribulation Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 1Thess 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, |
I don't believe that the body of Christ will go through the time of Jacob's trouble, and this "last trumpet" argument is full of holes, which in no way makes it holy! :rolleyes:
The phrase "last trumpet" is totally absent from scripture, the closest you will find is the "last trump" in 1 Corinthians 15:52. The last trump does NOT mean the last trumpet, it means it is the last blow (trump) on a trumpet. The word "trump" is only found twice in scripture, both times it is at the rapture of the church in 1 Cori 15:52 & 1 Thess 4:16, and this trump is identified as the "trump of God", not the trump of an angel: 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: When this "trump of God" is blown, the rapture will take place and God's people, Christians, will ascend to heaven. There is also a rapture of tribulation saints (not the body of Christ) that takes place in Revelation 11:12, which is just before the 2nd advent of Christ: Revelation 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Notice how it's several verses later "the seventh angel sounded" in Rev 11:13-15, and there is no rapture mentioned, the rapture has already taken place 3 verses earlier before the angel even sounded! Revelation 11: 13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. The seventh angel sounds the end of the tribulation and the beginning of the millennium, it has nothing to do with the pre-tribulation rapture of church age saints, or any rapture for that matter. The "last trump" could sound any day now! |

As for a rapture of tribulation saints where is that coming from? So how many raptures are there total? People over spiritualise a lot. Revelation 11:12- the voice from heaven is speaking to these two witnesses. Just like in Revelation 4:1 John is the only one being spoken two when told to come up hither not the whole church. And remember that He was in the Spirit when getting the Revelation of Jesus not the flesh. And still even if these are rapture scriptures, they don't prove a pre trib rapture. The burden of proof lies with Pre trib. Constantly through out scriptures we are told that the ressurection is on the last day. In John 6, Jesus said multiple times He would raise people up on the last day. Many try to discredit Martha and say she wasn't educated In John 11:24 but she confirmed the ressurection at the last day. Once again since when did LAST stop being last? A lot of things are read into scriptures for a pre-trib rapture. Both explanations of the catching up of the saints in Corinthians and Thessalonians are LOUD, Visible events agreing with Jesus when He said every eye shall see Him. And just like lighting strikes so will His coming. But pre-trib teachers would have you believe that only the saints here these things and not the rest of the world. You don't find that in the scriptures. It's hard to deny scriptures like Matthew 13, John 17:15,20, Psalm 37:9-11, Proverbs 2:21-22 Clearly PROVERBS 10:30-The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. And enduring is not a works based salvation. If it were then Jesus wouldn't have said it. Enduring is simply having faith, faint not, encouraging one another. |

Going back to Revelation 11. It's hard to deny the events that happen when that 7th Trumpet sounds. The events describe go right along with what Jesus and many others said would happen when He returns. And how can one deny the words of the angel in Chapter 10. He said there would be time no longer after the 7th angel sounded. God promised Noah that while the earth remained that there would be time. But we know that when Jesus comes that the sun and moon are confounded and the earth is destroyed so that doesn't break God's promise to Noah. But more importantly the angel said when the 7th angel sounded that the Mystery of God should be finished as He declared to his servants the prophets. That includes Daniel, Ezekiel, Even John (who is writing this stuff down). Rev 11 goes with 1 Cor15 and I Thess 4. But please answer about the parables of Matthew 13 where Jesus said that the harvest is NOT until the END of the world. |
we will have tribulation in this world however the 7 year tribulation we are saved from because that is God wrath being poured out on unbelieving sinful world and they will face God eternal wrath also. you seem to be confusing normal daily tribulation and the Great 7 year Tribulation as one event. that would mean that every time you see the word tribulation you are making it the same event. but you were able to separate it. the 7 year wrath is laid out in Revelation if it were not cut short not even Israel would survive
Christian life tribulation is part of our existence. But the 7 year wrath of God is not for us we are saved from that. this is what is known as pre tribulational rapture. Matthew 24-26 are concerning Israel not Church Age Saints in the Body of Christ. Rev 11 does not line up with 1Cor15 unless you switch Israel and the body of Christ. the events of the Gathering have nothing to do with Revelation 11. The events of Daniel and Ezekiel and Zechariah also have nothing to do with the body of Christ. it all concerns Israel. the seven year tribulation is dealing with Israel the Body of Christ has been removed at the beginning of this time period or dispensation. if you interpret Matthew, Revelation, Daniel et al as the church you would get the teaching you are advocating. we are not Israel we are the body of Christ it is just that simple. you must separate the two then do you own study don't rely on those men to give you the truth. They are handleing the word of God in unrighteousness. I will not listen to them for one minute once I realize what they are advocating. Rightly dividing the word of truth is the only way you will see the truth. But you came into the post already knowing that you were not rightly dividing, and I quote, "I know that after posting this that many will say that I'm not "rightly dividing the word of truth." That is what you were expecting. No Bible Believer is going to fall for your trickery. the teaching Mckeean and the other Pastor's you claim are teaching this are advocating a false teaching concerning the rapture. it is known as Mid trib rapture of Post Trib rapture. No true Bible believer could believe in those and be a true Bible believer. No matter how many Godly men or scholarly men are advocating such errors. True KJV Bible believing Christians who rightly divides the Bible believes in a PRE-TRIBULATIONAL RAPTURE AND A PRE-MILLENIAL RETURN OF CHRIST. |

I stop posting on this site and another a while back for personal reasons which are confirmed by response above and others. Like I told others, being a Marine has put a thick layer of skin on me but to be called a Non-bible believer because I don't agree with a Highley debated subject, by another Brother in Christ is hurtful. I believe in God the Father. God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. I believe that He sent His only begotten Son to this Earth. I believe His Son Jesus died on the cross because of my sins and I blieve He rose on the third day. I believe He ascended to Heaven and sits on the right hand of God the Father and I believe that He is returning to this Earth. To be called hairbrained, non-bible believer, and other names by Christian Brothers and sister is one of the most hurtful things a Christian can expierence. I'm not trying do any trickery or deceive people. And you guys don't have to worry about me any more. I'm truly hurt by this expierence but that doesn't change the fact that we're brothers and sisters in Christ. So I ask that you guys pray for me because God has seen fit that I go to Afghanistan in a week in a half. Pray that He uses me to bring glory to His name. Once again I'm sorry for hurting you and I am a Believer, a True Bible believing, God fearing, Christ Loving, Child of God. |
I have studied this subject for years have read, and know the scriptural support for each position. Each position has its margin of support from scriptures, a lot depends on your doctrinal, and personal bias.
There is only one verse that supports a 7 year tribulation period, and again it depends on how that is interpreted. This subject has caused more division among freinds, hurt feelings, and even Church splits than any other. I wont even state my opinion on the subject, because it will disagree with the many. Its best to say our Lord promised he would return for us, and to believe his promise is true. If we have to suffer or not!, it won't be anything to compare with the suffering he has already done for us. :amen: |

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. The Messiah will be "cut off" 7 weeks and 62 weeks (69 weeks or 483 days ) after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem 483 years passed from this decree until the time that Christ was crucified. Leaving 7 years to fulfill Daniel 9:24 and for God to finally Judge Israel for their sins. The Beginning of sorrows / The Great Tribulation. the first 3 1/2 years are a false peace (Beginning of sorrows) therefore suggesting it IS tribulation it just wont appear that way, the 2nd half of the week is when the covenant is broken and satan becomes incarnate and the real horror starts, "the Great Tribulation" The tribulation was always to be the 7 years, Seven throughout the entire Bible has been used to signify completion. addition: The beginning of sorrows described in Matthew 24 speaks of famines, pestilence and Earthquakes and nation rising against nation, if that's not tribulation what is? The GREAT tribulation is the like of what this World has never seen, nor can imagine. GREAT signifies that something that was started has grown, ie 7 years |
Matthew does indeed speak of times of troubles, just as you are seeing today!. These will grow in intensity until the time, that the things that are to come to pass, come.
As I said the doctrines of men, have done much damage to the church (body). Our Lord did not see fit to answer the question about his return, only to say watch and wait. And “I will come at an hour you think not!”. |

Don't take all this personally bro, it's not worth it. Some will use harsh words against what you have posted because they, and I, believe it is a gross error being taught in the church today. God bless your tour of duty! |

I agree with Brother Kiwi that a "trump" (sound) is not a "trumpet" (instrument).
In the Tribulation period there will be seven "trumpets". Concerning the Rapture, I read that "THE trumpet" shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then at the "last TRUMP", we shall all be changed and caught up. So, it seems there is one trumpet to be sounded at least twice at the Rapture. |
Exo 19:16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
Exo 19:19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. Heb 12:19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Comparing scripture with scripture, we can conclude that the voice of God is like a trumpet sounding, which is what Paul is stating in both passages on the rapture of the Church. The passage in 1Thessolonians 4 seems to be a more complete statement on the subject, the same as many passages in the Gospels where one statement is stated in a more complete manner than in the other, and the one in 1Th 4:16 states that it is a voice, not a trumpet. |
Quote:
I see the Trump of God as the others, it is does not belong with the 7 trumpets of Tribulation. The Trump of God is a calling to assembly, thus the "Gathering". While the 7 trumpets of Tribulation, are announcements of coming woes. As for the length of events, and timing, as I said my interpretation may not agree with the many. |
Rightly dividing
Below is a comparison between Revelation 11:15-16 with Matthew 24:30-31 referred to as The Great Tribulation and 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 with 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 as referred to The Rapture.
Matthew/Revelation 1Thessalonians/1 Corinthians 1. Tribes of the earth 1. Dead in Christ; Alive in Christ not saved of the earth 2.Mourn 2. Comfort 3.Visible return "see" 3. Invisible not secret "twinkling of an eye or 11/100th of a second. 4. send his angel/ seventh angel 4. The Lord himself 5. sound of the trumpet 5. shout 6. voices(plural) in heaven 6. with the voice(sing.) of archangel 7. -------------------- 7. trump of God The ressurrection of the dead in Christ is an instantenous event. The rapture of the living saints as decribed in 1 Thessalonians is a re-union, a truly gathering of the saints. We may be found faithful until Christ soon return. Jude 25 http:www.fredsites.weebly.com :decision: |
Quote:
there shall be a distinct "order and rank" when we hear the "shout." 1 Thess. 4:16. The word used here in the original for "shout" is more or less of a commanding shout, as "calling to order and rank" and can be likened to a military shout, or an assembling shout which calls together in perfect formation and order. Cor. 15:40,41. would preclude the thought of the Judgment Seat of Christ being the place where the order, rank and glory shall be determined. Earth is the place where all this is determined, by the kind of life we live here, all glory to GOD and the good of EACH OTHER and the lost, OR NOT. Even so, Come Lord Jesus and SOON!:amen: |
Here is the original scripture numbers list. I scanned this in and made a jpg from some of my notes.

It sure looks like seven means complete, finished, and done in the following verses, the number ten isn't there: Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. Leviticus 23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. |
Here is a link there is to much to copy, and scan on one page. These definitions differ quite a bit from the older list, in almost every number.
Notice this list does not contain some of the three digit numbers, and contains numbers that the older does not. http://www.biblenews1.com/define/number.htm |
Maybe a new thread for numerology is needed. But I will post this here anyways.
Samuel, those lists of numbers are garbage. 2 is Division as stated in the link in your second post. 3 is the Trinity, or scripturally, the Godhead. Not the Resurrection of Jesus. That is just the proof of his divinity. 5 is not Grace. It is the number of death. First man dies in Gen 5:5. The whole fifth chapter of Genesis is death. Death has five letters. So does grace, but you have to have death to have grace. D-E-V-I-L. S-A-T-A-N. What about all the references to the "Fifth Rib". Those just prove that if you think that 5 is grace, you have to reject scripture. 10 is not "completeness" or the "Laws". This is the number of the Gentiles throughout. The first gentile kingdom is started in Gen 10:10. The Missionary plan for the gentiles is given in Romans 10. &c. 12 is the number of Israel. How much more clear (or more clearer)can you get? I am not going to give those references. If you don't see that; then you don't read your Bible. And Finally... 13 is REBELLION not "Double Blessing". To say that is willful rejection of the revelations of Scripture. I'm not trying you call you out personally, but, some lists on numerology are a joke. Most people make their lists based on ignoring the inspiration of the verses and chapter system in a King James Bible. To say that, you have to have never looked into it. I used to think they were just an invention of man. Needlesstosay, I don't anymore. |
No I am not an adherent of numerology myself. But the first or older list, is much closer than the second or latter one.
Actually there have many such lists, and all differ. And all prove exactly nothing. In the first place the scriptures, "none of them", were broken down into chapter, and verse. So no method of numbering works, beyond that! of the person who believes it. |
I believe that the King James Bible that I have right in front of me is scripture. Last time I looked, it had chapters and verses in it.
You do believe that the King James is scripture, don't you? Quote:
ps I love ending sentences in prepositions. |
Do you think honestly that the Apostles, and even the early Church had a King James Bible. The numbering /chapter system started with the Geneva Bible, unless I am mistaken, and it was a little earlier.
But at any rate it wasnt untill sometime in the 16th century that chapters, and numbers was developed. Much less, when Isaiah wrote his Scroll. :pound: |
So. Answer me clearly. Is there scripture that I can get ahold of? Please tell me where it is so that I can get some.
IF there is no scripture around today, there is no sense arguing about doctrine because we are to get our DOCTRINE from the SCRIPTURE according to II Timothy 3:16. Let me ask you, where do you get your doctrine from? |
I don't know of anyone that has developed Doctrine, based on numerology. As far as I know, its done on the study of Scripture. The numbering system came into being, so we would have an easier way to find wanted passages of scripture.
In fact the Bible warns against Astrology, which any system of numbers is a part of. Not our chapters, and verses, but the use of numbers to determine answers. Such as the Bible Code (sic). The KJV is scripture, in case that's the answer you were looking for. |
Quoted fromFred
6. voices(plural) in heaven 6. with the voice(sing.) of archangel Rev 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! Clearly the trumpets are voices or the sound of trumpets are called voices. Interesting to note is is a single trumpet and multiple voice Samuel, numerology as you are describing as what some are doing with the Kabala and the De Vinci code, is not a biblical way of Study. stear clear of distractions as those of numerology and just simply study the Bible simply. it is its own dictionary and interpretation. |
