the last trump—at the sounding of the trumpet on the last day [VATABLUS] (Matthew 24:31; I Thessalonians 4:16). Or the Spirit by Paul hints that the other trumpets mentioned subsequently in the Apocalypse shall precede, and that this shall be the last of all (compare Isaiah 27:13; Zechariah 9:14). As the law was given with the sound of a trumpet, so the final judgment according to it (Hebrews 12:19; compare Exodus 19:16). As the Lord ascended "with the sound of a trumpet" (Psalms 47:5), so He shall descend (Revelation 11:15). The trumpet was sounded to convoke the people on solemn feasts, especially on the first day of the seventh month (the type of the completion of time; seven being the number for perfection; on the tenth of the same month was the atonement, and on the fifteenth the feast of tabernacles, commemorative of completed salvation out of the spiritual Egypt, compare Zechariah 14:18-19); compare Psalms 50:1-7. Compare His calling forth of Lazarus from the grave "with a loud voice," John 11:43, with John 5:25, John 5:28.
