 | | And, at the seventh trumpet, the blast is blown by a messenger, not by Christ Himself. |
 | | Sound or blow a trumpet is found in the Septuagint, and is there expressed by trumpet a trumpet, or trumpet in a trumpet (1 Sam.13:3; 2 Sam.2:28; Isa.27:13; Jer.51:27; Ezek.7:14), hence it could easily have been used in 1 Corinthians 15:52. |
 | | But they could just as well have rendered it "He shall sound a trumpet," as to change it to the middle, "the trumpet shall sound." Happily they did not change the next verb, "they shall be raised" to "they shall rouse," and thus ascribe this wondrous work to human beings. |
