The last trump compared to the angel trumpets in Revelation. More proof for the rapture.

What's that supposed to mean? That last trumpet is at the Second Coming, when the saints are raised.

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Cor. 15:52)
When do “we” (the saints) get changed? The last trumpet? How many more trumpets are there after the last one?

>> “What’s that supposed to mean? That last trumpet is at the Second Coming, when the saints are raised.” <<

.
The “last trump” as stated by Paul is a specific series of bursts on the ram’s horn that are executed at the end of the Feast of Trumpets. If my memory serves, it is nine blasts. This is the feast that prophecies the rapture, which is earlier, and separate from the actual physical entry of Christ on the ground, which is noted by the feast of Tabernacles.

I know that this is more than your denying mind can handle, so I will refrain from sharing any more with your vexatious spirit.

Do try to remember that the first century church celebrated all of the feasts of the Lord because they were necessary to the understanding of the believer.

If you had gone and read through the site you wouldn’t have asked that question.

It depends on how big the orchestra is :-P
