Q: How many trumpets are there before Jesus blows his trumpet, and what is the meaning of the trumpets in the Book of Revelation?
A: In the Book of Revelation there are 7 angels blowing 7 trumpets.
Q: Who are the seven trumpets given to?
A: These 7 trumpets are given to 7 angels, and celestially they are figured to be 7-star men who are likened to the seven angels. Each of these star men are part of the focus of God’s theater. They are holding 7 vials at one time, they’re holding 7 trumpets at one time, and they’re making proclamations during this time. The proclamations that they are speaking are proclamations that are written in heaven within their star names, and within mythology all over the world, as to what these particular men as priests did.
They may have different names in other places, they could even be different types of figures, but they all have the same star names. When you connect their mythology, they are still telling the same story all over the world.
Q: What role do these seven-star men have?
A: Each of these star men are part of the focus of God’s theater. They are holding 7 vials at one time, they’re holding 7 trumpets at one time, and they’re making proclamations during this time. The 1 QM. War Scroll talks about 7 men. They are going to be 7 priests, and they’re going to do various things during this war. These men correspond to that which is in heaven. In heaven there are priests that do offerings, and they are functioning in a war.
The priests that are on earth, the men that are on earth who are priests, are referred to within Micah as being part of this coming war. Micah speaks of the man born in Bethlehem, from ancient time, who is to be our peace and who is to be raised as king. Then there is a proclamation Israel is to make saying, “We will have 7 shepherds.”
That proclamation speaks of having seven men be leaders of their flocks in movements that relate to the seven priests in the heavens. The priests are offering all of the Yom Kippur offerings in heaven based on their movements and where they go.
Q: What are these proclamations?
A: The proclamations that they’re speaking are proclamations that are written in heaven within their star names and within mythology all over the world, as to what these star men as priests did.
Q: Do these figures appear differently in other cultures?
A: They may have different names in other places. They could even be different types of figures, but they all have the same star names, and when you connect their mythology, they’re still telling the same story all over the world. These names can be seen in the book by Bullinger called Witness of the Stars.
Q: Have any of the trumpets already been blown?
A: None yet.
Revelation 11:15–19 (KJV) — The 7th Trumpet (Isolated)
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying,
The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Alignment with Micah
Micah 5:2–6 (Key Alignment Points)
- Ruler from Bethlehem → “whose goings forth have been from of old”
- Restoration of Israel → “the remnant of his brethren shall return”
- Peace through war → “this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come”
- Seven leaders explicitly named → “Then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men”
Direct Parallels
| Revelation 11 | Micah |
| Kingdoms become Christ’s | Ruler raised over Israel |
| Nations angry | Assyrian invader |
| Judgment & reward | Deliverance of the remnant |
| Heavenly rule manifested | Earthly leadership established |
| Final authority asserted | “This man shall be the peace” |
Key Insight:
Micah does not describe a peaceful transition. The reign begins through conflict, exactly as Revelation 11 does. The 7 shepherds of Micah correspond conceptually to divinely appointed agents during the climax of the war.
Alignment with the War Scroll (1QM)
War Scroll
The War Scroll describes the final war between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness.
Major Overlaps
1. Trumpets
- War Scroll: Trumpets are blown in sequence, each with a specific proclamation
- Revelation 11: The 7th trumpet concludes the war phase
2. Heaven + Earth Unified
- War Scroll: Angels fight alongside human armies
- Revelation 11: Voices in heaven declare victory as events occur on earth
3. Temple Opened
- War Scroll: Priestly warfare modeled on Yom Kippur liturgy
- Revelation 11: Heavenly temple opens, ark revealed
4. Judgment Timing
- War Scroll: War ends with God’s dominion established
- Revelation 11: “the time of the dead, that they should be judged”
Structural Match
| War Scroll | Revelation 11 |
| Final trumpet phase | 7th trumpet |
| Priests lead war | Elders worship, temple revealed |
| Divine victory declared | Kingdoms become Christ’s |
| Light triumphs | Destroyers destroyed |
Unified Conclusion
- Micah gives the earthly leadership structure (7 shepherds)
- War Scroll gives the military-liturgical framework (trumpets, priests, angels)
- Revelation 11 gives the heavenly declaration and legal transfer of authority
The 7th trumpet is not the start of events —
it is the announcement that the war has reached its divine conclusion.
Q: Why have none of the trumpets been blown yet?
A: The effects of the Book of Revelation relates to the 1QM.War Scroll. It is a war of gods and men our steps with their steps. Scholars have noted this, but it has to connect with Israel all through. In Micah speaking of this war, it says “We will have seven shepherds”. These men are spoken of in the 1QM as being priests who will have seven trumpets.
Q: What about modern Israel? It does not use trumpets because it is not yet fully Israel.
A: There is a nation that calls itself Israel but is of the tribe of Judah.
1. Israel divided — only Judah retained the name later
1 Kings 12:16–20 (KJV)
After Solomon, the nation splits:
- Northern Kingdom → called Israel (10 tribes)
- Southern Kingdom → Judah + Benjamin, later simply called Judah
“…So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.” (v.19)
Later, the northern tribes are exiled (2 Kings 17), and Judah remains.
From this point forward:
- The people who remain in the land are Judah
- Yet the covenant name “Israel” still belongs to all 12 tribes
2. Judah later called “Jews” — not all Israel
2 Kings 16:6 (KJV)
“…the Jews came to Elath…”
The term “Jews” (Judahites) appears after the split, showing:
- “Jew” = from Judah
- “Israel” = all tribes
3. Prophets say Judah is not the whole of Israel
Ezekiel 37:16–17 (KJV)
Two sticks:
- One for Judah
- One for Joseph / Ephraim (Israel)
“…the stick of Judah, and the children of Israel his companions…”
This proves:
- Judah ≠ all Israel
- Israel includes other tribes not present
When the tribes return, you will have become Israel and be united again. It says this explicitly and clearly in Numbers 10:9 (KJV).
Numbers 10:9 (KJV)
**“And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you,
then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets;
and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God,
and ye shall be saved from your enemies.”
Why this verse matters
This is not symbolic or implied — it is direct instruction:
- Israel goes to war
- Priests blow trumpets
- God remembers
- God saves
The trumpets are not for communication only — they are a covenant mechanism that causes God to remember and act.
- Torah foundation → Numbers 10 establishes the rule
- Prophets (Micah) → War + divinely appointed shepherds
- Second Temple texts (War Scroll) → Priestly trumpet warfare
- Revelation → Angels blow trumpets because earthly priests once did
Revelation mirrors Numbers 10, but from heaven instead of earth.
One more reinforcing passage
Joshua 6 (Jericho):
- Priests blow trumpets
- Walls fall
- Victory comes after the trumpet sequence
This follows the same rule established in Numbers 10:9.
In short
Israel blows trumpets in war → God remembers → God intervenes
That principle runs from Torah → Prophets → Second Temple → Revelation.
Q: What happens when the tribes return?
A: This group by the Dead Sea that is to fight a war based on heaven and earth.
Q: What about the four angels in the Book of Enoch?
A: There were 4 angels spoken of within the Book of Enoch who would cast Stan into the pit. These four angels’ names are to be given on shields in four positions of the towers set up during the war scroll.
Q: What do these four angels represent?
A: They mark the position of the four-star men within the heavens, and their movements in the celestial Temple in the “Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifices” as they are given Psalms to show their movement in the celestial Temple. This movement causes them to provide the 39 Yom Kipper sacrifices in the Heavenly Temple and at the same time they are fighting a war in heaven with 7 serpents. This is the Temple in heaven whose testimony is also in the Book of Revelation and will call the tribes of Israel to return. When the dragon Satan is cast down, then the war on mount Zion is to be a reflection of the heavenly war. It is the war spoken of in Psalms 83 that is to be like the war with Sisera. A war where stars fought in courses and the Masonic Handbook states had to be imagined to fight in courses.
Q: How does Micah relate to this?
A: The shepherds spoken of in Micah could be likened to this movement. They would shepherd the flock of this army to activate the will of God.
Q: What is the will of God in this context?
A: The will of God is to cast Belial into the pit. This war is shown in the heavens and fought on the earth.
Q: What does Isaiah say about this?
A: In Isaiah, Lucifer says five times how he will raise himself up, and God says five times how he will be cast down. This is the purpose of the whole earth.
Q: When does this war take place?
A: It is at the time of the spring equinox, as explained in
Isaiah 17:10–11 (KJV)
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation,
and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength,
therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants,
and shalt set it with strange slips:
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow,
and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish;
but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief
and of desperate sorrow.
This is called Kings planting day and is at the time of the Spring Equinox.
Q: Are the trumpets only for Israel and not the church?
A: The church will be Israel. It was given to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles, who will come into Israel.
Q: What did Jesus mean by two flocks and one shepherd?
A: It refers to Jews and Gentiles coming to Christ and becoming one flock under one shepherd.
Q: How does the idea of the Bride of Christ fit into this?
A: The Israelites who come to Christ (along with gentiles) will be part of the body of Christ. The whole group will wind up being Christian based on Judaism.
Q: How does Peter relate this to the heavens?
A: Peter speaks of the foundation stone, the stone rejected by the builders, and the Great Pyramid, and how this reflects heavenly realities.
Q: How does Jesus relate to the shepherd in the heavens?
A: The shepherd is gored by an ox, and the law says if an ox gores a man it is 30 pieces of silver. Jesus was pierced by a nail, and the ox corresponds to the letter vav, meaning peg or nail which the oral tradition of Judaism apples to Taurus.
Q: How does this relate to the constellations?
A: The star where this occurs is in both Taurus and the foot of the man. Taurus relates to Ephraim, and this connects to Revelation and the second horse.
Q: How does this relate to death and resurrection?
A: The apparent travel of the sun shows death and resurrection, disappearing and rising after three days, reflecting the story of Jesus.
Q: What happens to Satan?
A: Satan is cast into the pit when Christ returns, released after 1,000 years, deceives the nations, and is then cast into Gehenna.
Q: Who has power during the 1,000 years?
A: God holds the power. Satan’s power is broken.
Q: What happens after the 1,000 years?
A: The earth burns up, there is a new heaven and a new earth, and Satan is finally judged.
Q: Is there mystery about the final judgment?
A: Yes. There are gray areas we don’t fully understand. Some passages say those under the sea will praise God. What God ultimately does is His judgment, not ours.
