great trumpet—image from the trumpets blown on the first day of the seventh month to summon the people to a holy convocation (Leviticus 23:24). Antitypically, the gospel trumpet (Revelation 11:15; Revelation 14:6) which the Jews shall hearken to in the last days (Zechariah 12:10; Zechariah 13:1). As the passover in the first month answers to Christ's crucifixion, so the day of atonement and the idea of "salvation" connected with the feast of tabernacles in the same seventh month, answer to the crowning of "redemption" at His second coming; therefore redemption is put last in I Corinthians 1:30.
Assyria—whither the ten tribes had been carried; Babylonia is mainly meant, to which Assyria at that time belonged; the two tribes were restored, and some of the ten accompanied them. However, "Assyria" is designedly used to point ultimately to the future restoration of the ten fully, never yet accomplished (Jeremiah 3:18).
Egypt—whither many had fled at the Babylonish captivity (Jeremiah 41:17-18). Compare as to the future restoration, Isaiah 11:11-12, Isaiah 11:16; Isaiah 51:9-16 ("Rahab" being Egypt).
The twenty-eighth through thirty-third chapters form almost one continuous prophecy concerning the destruction of Ephraim, the impiety and folly of Judah, the danger of their league with Egypt, the straits they would be reduced to by Assyria, from which Jehovah would deliver them on their turning to Him; the twenty-eighth chapter refers to the time just before the sixth year of Hezekiak's reign, the rest not very long before his fourteenth year.
