"And the trumpet is blown, so all those in
the heavens and all those in the earth will swoon, except such as
Allah please. Then it will be blown again, when lo! they stand up,
awaiting. And the earth beams with the light of its Lord, and the Book
is laid down, and the prophets and the witnesses are brought up, and
judgment is given between them with justice, and they are not
wronged."
�Holy Qur�an, Surah 39, verses 68 & 69
The title of this article is full of meaning which cannot be fully
encompassed in the space of this column. However, we can begin our
examination of some of its meaning with the following analysis.
The Trumpet is a symbol, as characterized in the Final Call
Newspaper, representing God�s Divine Judgment uttered through the
Voice of His Servants to accomplish and to fulfill God�s Divine Will.
It is used as an Announcement and Warning to peoples and nations of
great perils that lie ahead due to their neglect of duty and obedience
to the Will of the One God.
This Divine Mission constitutes the greatest Service to the whole
of Humanity to be a chosen vehicle through which the Transmission of
God�s Word and Messages can be uttered.
It is due to this prolonged neglect of duty to The Most High God,
that Judgment is Announced to the Peoples and Governments who are the
most guilty and are in need of Reform. So the Almighty God, Creator,
is always sending messengers to the people and rulers who are to be
warned. These are the ones who are rejected and persecuted and
betrayed by the very same people who are the recipients of God�s
Divine Revelation. "And they honour not Allah
with the honour due to Him; and the whole earth will be in His grip on
the day of Resurrection and the heavens rolled up in His right hand.
Glory be to Him! And highly exalted is He above what they associate
(with Him). Holy Qur�an, Surah 39, verse 67
According to the Book of Revelation the first sounding of a trumpet
is compared to the sound uttered by the human voice from a live human
being acting as the Spokesman of God in the Person of the risen
Christ. John, who is the recipient of this Revelation, hears a voice
behind him as of a trumpet, "Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first
and the last; and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto
the seven churches which are in Asia. �" When John turns to see the
source of this voice, he sees one like the Son of man, appearing by
his physical description as an Original Black man with white wooly
hair, fiery, flaming eyes, feet like bronze, with a countenance like
the sun shining in its strength. In addition to a trumpet sound, the
power of its emission is the extension of sound to the voice of many
waters.
The twelve golden trumpets analogy is derived from the appearance
of the New Jerusalem with twelve gates combined with the twelve Angels
of Light, who appear at the gates, in the time of the descent of this
glorious New City in the sky, which appears as a Light unto itself
which also contains twelve foundations, all made of precious gemstones
mixed with crystals and a city paved with transparent gold. Any two
sets of twelve when squared equals 144 which is the measurement of a
man and of the angels of light and their work among us today. When
this figure 144 is cubed by twelve, we get the cubical measurement of
1,728 cubic inches which is a continuation of the future working
Vision of God�s Kingdom on earth.
The current struggle over Palestine and the City of Jerusalem is a
political and military struggle for dominance and rule by all parties
concerned, which is distinct from the Spirit of God�s New Kingdom
which He is establishing on Earth. The current struggle is temporal
which demands Truth and Justice and requires Divine intervention and
interaction with God�s New Kingdom and Restorative Peace Plan now
descending which is Eternal in nature, where The Believers of All
Faith Traditions will find an eternal Abode of Peace with the
transformation of Tranquility and Harmony into the hearts of all
mankind.
One of the class of the seven angels carries John further in his
spiritual journey to a great and high mountain and showed him that
great city, the holy Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God.
"Having the glory of God; and her light was like unto a stone most
precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;"
Book of Revelation, Chapter 21, verse 11
