“Here’s another inference...When Paul spoke of the ‘last trump’ he had no clue whatsoever that Jesus would reveal to John 40 YEARS LATER that there would be 7 trumpets blowing...”
That’s a terrible inference. The simple fact that he used the language “last trump” infers that he definitely knew there would be a series of trumpets, with certain prophetic events timed to coincide with them, and that the believers he was speaking to were also familiar with that knowledge.
If that wasn’t the case, then the reference is senseless and superfluous, and would only serve to confuse his audience.
Remember, Revelation may be the only book of pure prophecy in the NT, but John was not the only NT prophet. ALL of the apostles had the gift of prophecy, and it was also common for other disciples and believers to have that gift during this period, which is probably why they were familiar with these terms before John wrote down his Revelation.
No it doesn't...It infers that he was aware of at least one trumpet that would be blown numerous times...Rather than debate it here's a page with an explanation that handles the debate much better than I could...If you are interested...
That’s a terrible inference.
