With the Sound of the Trumpet is an extraordinary study of one of Scripture’s most powerful prophetic symbols—the Great Trumpet of God. From Isaiah to Revelation, the trumpet announces resurrection, restoration, and the victory of God’s people. With the Sound of the Trumpet walks believers through the Old Covenant promises and New Testament fulfillment of that moment when death is swallowed up in victory. It’s not a message of fear, but of faith, hope, and triumph through Jesus Christ.
The sermon opens by examining the words of Isaiah 27, where the prophet foretold the blowing of a great trumpet that would gather the outcasts of Israel back into fellowship with God. With the Sound of the Trumpet reveals that this prophecy was more than a poetic image—it was the foundation for every later promise of resurrection and redemption. Israel’s captivity was described as “death,” and their return as “resurrection.” The message traces that same imagery through Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones, connecting it to the New Testament’s declarations of new life through Christ.
With the Sound of the Trumpet then turns to Jesus’ prophecy in Matthew 24. The Lord said that with the sound of a great trumpet, the elect would be gathered from the four winds. The sermon explains how Jesus drew directly from Isaiah’s imagery and applied it to the coming judgment on Jerusalem, showing that the trumpet was not merely a symbol of physical graves opening, but of spiritual restoration and victory.
Paul’s writings in 1 Corinthians 15 and 1 Thessalonians 4 are then examined with precision. The preacher shows that Paul’s “last trumpet” echoes Jesus’ words and fulfills Isaiah’s promise. At that trumpet, death loses its sting, the law’s curse is broken, and believers are raised to eternal fellowship with God. With the Sound of the Trumpet challenges listeners to reexamine traditional eschatology and see the harmony of God’s prophetic timeline. The message emphasizes that Paul’s declaration—“we shall not all sleep”—was not an abstract theory, but a confident statement of God’s imminent fulfillment in that generation.
This sermon also explores the seven trumpets of Revelation, revealing that the seventh, or last trumpet, signals the completion of God’s redemptive plan. It marks the judgment of the wicked, the rewarding of the righteous, and the full unveiling of Christ’s victory. The message insists that when the trumpet sounded, the barriers between God and man were forever removed through Jesus’ finished work.
With the Sound of the Trumpet concludes with a resounding message of faith and hope: the trumpet has sounded, redemption has been completed, and eternal life is now available to all who believe. Those who were once dead in sin are now alive in Christ. The separation caused by sin and law has been destroyed. Man no longer has to live in fear of death or judgment because Jesus has conquered both.

This sermon reminds believers that the trumpet of the Lord still echoes today—declaring that the power of death has been broken, the covenant fulfilled, and the people of God gathered to eternal life in His presence. That’s the good news proclaimed With the Sound of the Trumpet.
