He rides across the highest places in heaven. He rides across the ancient skies above. He thunders with his mighty voice.

Praise him by blowing trumpets. Praise him with harps and lyres.

He did it while he was bringing up the ark of the Lord. The whole community of Israel helped him bring it up. They shouted. They blew trumpets.

Open wide, you gates. Open up, you ancient doors. Then the King of glory will come in.Who is the King of glory? The Lord, who is strong and mighty. The Lord, who is mighty in battle.Open wide, you gates. Open wide, you ancient doors. Then the King of glory will come in.Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord who rules over all. He is the King of glory.

So the whole community of Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord. They shouted. They blew rams’ horns and trumpets. They played cymbals, lyres and harps.

The seventh angel blew his trumpet. There were loud voices in heaven. They said,“ The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah. He will rule for ever and ever.”

The Lord said to Moses,“ Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. Blow them when you want the community to gather together. And blow them when you want the camps to start out.When both trumpets are blown, the whole community must gather in front of you. They must come to the entrance to the tent of meeting.Suppose only one trumpet is blown. Then the leaders must gather in front of you. They are the heads of the tribes of Israel.When a trumpet blast is blown, the tribes camped on the east side must start out.When the second blast is blown, the camps on the south side must start out. The blast will tell them when to start.Blow the trumpets to gather the people together. But do not use the same kind of blast.“ The sons of Aaron, the priests, must blow the trumpets. That is a law for you and your children after you for all time to come.Suppose you go into battle in your own land. And suppose it is against an enemy who is treating you badly. Then blow a blast on the trumpets. If you do, I will remember you. I will save you from your enemies. I am the Lord your God.You must also blow the trumpets when you are happy. Blow them at your appointed feasts. Blow them at your New Moon feasts. Blow them when you sacrifice your burnt offerings. Blow them when you sacrifice your friendship offerings. They will remind me of you. I am the Lord your God.”

While he was blessing them, he left them. He was taken up into heaven.Then they worshiped him. With great joy, they returned to Jerusalem.Every day they went to the temple, praising God.

Blow the trumpets. Give a blast on the ram’s horn. Shout for joy to the Lord. He is the King.

Then the Lord woke up as if he had been sleeping. He was like a warrior waking up from the deep sleep caused by wine.

God has come with tens of thousands of his chariots. He has come with thousands and thousands of them. The Lord has come from Mount Sinai. He has entered his holy place.When he went up to his place on high, he took many prisoners. He received gifts from people, even from those who refused to obey him. The Lord God went up to live on Mount Zion.Give praise to the Lord. Give praise to God our Savior. He carries our heavy loads day after day.

It was the duty of Heman and Jeduthun to blow the trumpets. They also had the duty of playing the cymbals and other instruments for the sacred songs. The sons of Jeduthun were stationed at one of the gates.

Blow the ram’s horn on the day of the New Moon feast. Blow it again when the moon is full and the Feast of Booths begins.

God, those who worship you come marching into view. My God and King, those who follow you have entered the sacred tent.The singers are walking in front. Next come the musicians. Young women playing tambourines are with them.

There is no doubt that true godliness comes from this great mystery. Jesus came as a human being. The Holy Spirit proved that he was the Son of God. He was seen by angels. He was preached among the nations. People in the world believed in him. He was taken up to heaven in glory.

“ I don’t see any trouble coming on the people of Jacob. I don’t see any suffering in Israel. The Lord their God is with them. The shout of the King is among them.

You will hear them blow a long blast on the trumpets. When you do, tell the whole army to give a loud shout. The wall of the city will fall down. Then the whole army will march up to the city. Everyone will go straight in.”

John baptized with water. But in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”Then the apostles gathered around Jesus and asked him a question.“ Lord,” they said,“ are you going to give the kingdom back to Israel now?”He said to them,“ You should not be concerned about times or dates. The Father has set them by his own authority.But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. Then you will tell people about me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria. And you will even tell other people about me from one end of the earth to the other.”After Jesus said this, he was taken up to heaven. The apostles watched until a cloud hid him from their sight.While he was going up, they kept on looking at the sky. Suddenly two men dressed in white clothing stood beside them.“ Men of Galilee,” they said,“ why do you stand here looking at the sky? Jesus has been taken away from you into heaven. But he will come back in the same way you saw him go.”

Some of the priests blew trumpets in front of the ark of God. Their names were Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah and Eliezer. Obed- Edom and Jehiah also helped guard the ark.

Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets got ready to blow them.The first angel blew his trumpet. Hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up. A third of the trees were burned up. All the green grass was burned up.The second angel blew his trumpet. Something that looked like a huge mountain on fire was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood.A third of the living creatures in the sea died. A third of the ships were destroyed.The third angel blew his trumpet. Then a great star fell from the sky. It looked like a blazing torch. It fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the water turned bitter. Many people died from it.The fourth angel blew his trumpet. Then a third of the sun was struck. A third of the moon was struck. A third of the stars were struck. So a third of each of them turned dark. Then a third of the day had no light. The same thing happened to a third of the night.As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying high in the air. It called out in a loud voice,“ How terrible! How terrible it will be for those living on the earth! How terrible! They will suffer as soon as the next three angels blow their trumpets!”

That will happen in a flash, as quickly as you can wink an eye. It will happen at the blast of the last trumpet. Then the dead will be raised to live forever. And we will be changed.

That is why Scripture says,“ When he went up to his place on high, he took many prisoners. He gave gifts to his people.”( Psalm 68:18)What does“ he went up” mean? It can only mean that he also came down to the lower, earthly places.The one who came down is the same one who went up. He went up higher than all the heavens. He did it in order to fill all creation.

The Lord himself will come down from heaven. We will hear a loud command. We will hear the voice of the leader of the angels. We will hear a blast from God’s trumpet. Many who believe in Christ will have died already. They will rise first.
