Wonder who will hear the trumpet blast! Everyone saved and non-saved, the Church only with the dead in Christ, only those being lifted up, or those Christian's in name only hearing but not going??? What say you?! TR Hmmm good question. As I’m looking at this passage ... The Lord will give a shout ... I only think the saved will hear that since Jesus said “My sheep hear My voice“ .... however there is the voice of the archangel ... which archangel? Michael? Gabriel? Raphael? Will the unsaved hear the archangel voice? And then there is the trump of God ... perhaps the unsaved will hear the trumpet sound but will be puzzled because a few years ago there were lots of Skyquakes ... which are unexplained reports of a phenomenon that sounds like a cannon, trumpet or a sonic boom coming from the sky. The unsaved were hearing them ... so perhaps that is what they will hear? :unsure: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Having eyes to see and ears to hear! Will the blind see? And those deaf to the voice of God hear?! TR God chose to have the shepherds in the field hear the proclamation of Messiah’s birth and they witnessed with the eye the heavenly choir singing praises to God Almighty! We shall see! :prayer-hands:
