The Seven Trumpets
Trumpets came in different forms, and were used for different reasons. For example, a trumpet could be made of silver (Numbers 10:2) or out of a ram’s horn (Joshua 6:8). They were used to call the people to assemble and for journeying (Numbers 10:2), to announce the beginning of a Holy Day festival (Leviticus 23:24; Psalm 81:3), to announce the year of jubilee (Leviticus 25:9), for the coronation of kings (1Kings 1:32-39), to praise the Lord (Psalm 98:6), to sound the alarm (Jeremiah 4:19; Joel 2:1), and as a symbol for the voice of God (Isaiah 58:1; Hosea 8:1; Zephaniah 1:16; Revelation 1:10; 4:1). I believe the trumpets in the Apocalypse were used both to sound the alarm, i.e. warn of the coming war, but also to give the sense that the sound of the trumpet was the voice of the Almighty. He was the one declaring war, and he was telling the people to either repent and submit to him or prepare themselves for war.
