23 The LORD said to Moses, 24 "Say to the Israelites: 'On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. 25 Do no regular work, but present an offering made to the LORD by fire.'"
(from New International Version)

The Future Great Trumpet Blast

Old Testament prophecies speak of a significant time when there will be a banner or sign for the nations of the earth together with a great trumpet blast.

Isa 18:3
All you people of the world,
you who live on the earth,
when a banner is raised on the mountains,
you will see it,
and when a trumpet sounds,
you will hear it
(from New International Version)

Isa 27:13
And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem
(from New International Version)
