A Sounding of Trumpets

Mar 01, 2015 / Bible Study / 2 COMMENTS

Today’s Scripture
“Only the priests are allowed to blow the trumpets” (Numbers 10:8).

 

 
The trumpets were sounded for many reasons: to call the people to assembly, to break camp, to go to war, and to signal gladness at annual festivals. Trumpets were also blown over burnt and peace offerings to remind God of His covenant with the people.

 
Sometimes when the people sounded the trumpets, they were displaying their trust in God. Other times they were moving God to bless them with His presence and aid. In essence, the trumpets invoked and celebrated God’s presence among them. God’s presence within you sets you apart from the world. Do you start your day “sounding the trumpet” – invoking God’s presence into your life and circumstances?

    I didn’t realize the Nazarite vow was for a period of time, not for life.

    We’re singing the Priestly Blessing at the end of our Easter program. The song is even more special to me now, knowing its origin and application!

    I can’t even imagine how long it would take for two million people to pack up and leave after each section of trumpets sounded!

    Loved all the extra insights, Shannon!

      Can you imagine two million people packing up and traveling when they heard the sound? You’d almost want to stay packed in anticipation of the next move!
