00:00beloved scripture speaks with unshakable certainty about the day when the last trumpet will sound this is not the blare of human ceremony nor the call of earthly armies it is the sovereign summons of almighty god
00:15paul wrote in one corinthians 15 52 in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet the dead will be raised imperishable and we shall be changed that trumpet will pierce every heart for the redeemed it will be the sound of glorious deliverance for the unrepentant it will be the alarm of eternal judgment this is god's final call moment after which no repentance will be offered
00:45no second chance is given christ's mercy will have been extended to its full and his justice will take the throne we live now in the days of grace but the hour is coming when grace will give way to judgment our task is to heed the warning to live as those awaiting our master to call others to repentance before the trumpet sounds the question is not if it will come but when and whether we are ready to meet the judge
01:15who comes with it one the certainty of the final trumpet beloved we must begin where the word begins with the certainty of this event the last trumpet is not a symbolic figure of speech it is a literal divinely orchestrated moment in time paul tells us in one thessalonians 4 16 for the lord himself will descend from heaven
01:40with a cry of command with a cry of command with the voice of an archangel and with the sound of the trumpet of god that is not poetic exaggeration that is a prophetic promise from sinai's thunderous blast to the trumpets of jericho god has used the trumpet to signal his movement among men but this final trumpet is different it will not summon an army to battle it will summon
02:10the timetable no political decision no political decision no scientific advancement no religious movement will alter its coming the certainty of the trumpets call rests not in man's belief or unbelief but in the unchangeable decree of the almighty whether scoffers laugh or saints rejoice it will sound and when it does it will mark the close of human history as we know it
02:40our confidence in its reality is grounded in god's character he does not speak idly every promise every warning he has uttered has either already come to pass or will be fulfilled in perfect time
02:57the flood came exactly as he said the destruction of sodom came exactly as he said the first coming of christ unfolded exactly as he said
03:09the last trumpet will come exactly as he says this certainty should do two things it should sober our hearts knowing that this is no myth and it should stir our hope knowing our redemption draws near
03:24the trumpet is god's exclamation point to history his final unmistakable unrepeatable call the only question is whether you are ready to hear it
03:36two the division it brings when the final trumpet sounds it will instantly divide all of humanity into two unchangeable groups the redeemed and the condemned there will be no middle ground no undecided category no appeals court
03:52matthew 25 32-33 tells us he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats and he will place the sheep on his right but the goats on the left for the believer
04:10this trumpet will be the long awaited call home it will be the sound of freedom from sin freedom from sorrow freedom from the limitations of this mortal body paul says in 1 corinthians 15 52 we shall be changed
04:29imagine the instant transformation corruptible replaced with incorruptible mortal clothed in immortality tears wiped away forever
04:39but for the unbeliever that same sound will be terror beyond imagination they will know in that instant that mercy has ended and judgment has begun revelation paints the scene vividly
04:53people will cry out for rocks to fall on them and hide them from the face of the lamb revelation 6 16 but there will be no hiding
05:03no escape no turning back no turning back the trumpet doesn't create the division it reveals it that separation has been forming every moment of your life as you respond or refuse to respond to the gospel
05:17on that day on that day on that day the line will be visible to all drawn not by church attendance religious activity or good deeds but by one question have you trusted christ alone for salvation
05:31the sobering truth is that some will be shocked to find themselves on the wrong side
05:37jesus warns in matthew 7 22-23 that many will say lord lord and yet he will reply i never knew you the trumpet will not change your destiny
05:51it will expose it minus three the end of all excuses the sounding of the final trump it will also be the silencing of every human excuse
06:03right now people hide behind countless reasons i'm too busy i'll decide later i don't believe in hell i'm not as bad as others but in that moment every mouth will be stopped as paul declares in romans 3 19
06:17think of pharaoh in exodus he hardened his heart against god's clear commands even as plague after plague struck egypt but the day came when the firstborn died and his stubbornness ended in devastating loss
06:31likewise when the trumpet sounds there will be no bargaining no time to reconsider no opportunity to repent
06:39grace's door will be closed and locked from the inside by god himself the excuses will vanish because the truth will be undeniable
06:47the heavens will split the lord will appear the dead will be raised and no one will question whether this is real
06:53the atheist will not be an atheist anymore the agnostic will not be undecided anymore the careless will not be careless anymore but tragically their realization will come too late
07:11today excuses can still be replaced with repentance delays can still be turned into decisions the trumpets purpose is not to give more time it's to announce that time has run out
07:274 the urgency of preparation beloved if the last trumpet could sound at any moment and scripture teaches it can then preparation is not optional it is urgent
07:412 corinthians 6 2 says now is the favorable time behold now is the day of salvation
07:493 not tomorrow not next week not when life feels more settled now preparation begins with genuine repentance and faith in the lord jesus christ this is not a matter of religious formality it's a matter of eternal reality
08:033 the wise virgins in matthew 25 had oil in their lamps when the bridegroom arrived they were ready the foolish virgins were caught unprepared scrambling for oil and the door was shut
08:174 to be ready for the trumpet means living with eternity in view it means guarding your heart against the entanglements of this world confessing sin quickly walking in obedience and longing for christ's appearing
08:315 it means not only securing your own soul but urgently pointing others to christ one of satan's greatest lies is that you have time that you can deal with god later but later may never come
08:455 life is a vapor and eternity is forever so ask yourself if the trumpet sounded tonight would i meet the lord with joy or with dread
08:576 your readiness cannot be borrowed from a spouse inherited from parents or earned by works it is the personal possession of every true believer sealed by the holy spirit
09:11the only safe preparation is to be in christ clothed in his righteousness before that trumpet blasts minus five the call to proclaim finally the certainty division and urgency of the last trumpet demand that we proclaim the gospel with boldness
09:31ezekiel 33 6 warns that if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet the blood of the people will be on his hands
09:43we are spiritual watchmen and the sword of judgment is approaching we live in an age where truth is mocked and the gospel is often watered down to avoid offense but if we truly believe the trumpet is coming silence is the most unloving thing we can offer
10:01the commandments we will be on the church of worship is dun , uh...
10:19out in the testimony of a holy life, and spoken in the clear announcement that salvation is in
10:25Christ alone. Some will listen, many will not, but our task is obedience, not results. The trumpet
10:34is God's final call, but until it sounds, ours is to echo his voice, pleading with sinners to be
