Only those confused about the day of Christ's coming to gather His Church don't know those are both the same trumpet.
The last trump is also called the trump of God or the trumpet of God. That is a trumpet to summon God's children to Christ and to Heaven. Trumpets were used for summoning Israel to gather together while in the wilderness. The same principle applies.Can someone before I post, tell me the difference
Israel -- God's people -- may have been summoned by trumpets many times. So those were the trumpets preceding the last.Still not ready to give my OP but I have a question.The last trump that Paul spoke about,is the last of what?In other words what trumps preceded the last,and where can they be found in scripture.

The Church began with believing Israel and consists of redeemed Jews and Gentiles in one Body. See Ephesians. The Gentiles were grafted into "the good olive tree" of believing Jews. See Romans 11. The promise of the gift of the Holy Spirit was to Israel and Judah under the New Covenant. Gentiles were included within that promise by Christ, when He broke down the middle wall of partition at the cross.Okay ,however if that last trump is for Israel,why is it the Church that's getting raptured?

So unbelieving Jew's are different than unbelieving Gentiles?
Yes, They are to be more severely Judged, because they have the Scriptures and they continue in rejection of Jesus.So unbelieving Jew's are different than unbelieving Gentiles?

Who said that there were a bunch of successive trumpets for the Church? The only trumpet is the last trump which is the trump of God. And if there is a last trump there must have been a first trump somewhere at sometime.There aren't a bunch of successive trumpets sounding for the event of Christ gathering His Church. That's another one of the made up stories from Jews heeding Jewish traditions.

And who is talking about Jewish traditions other than yourself? Just making things up as you go along.
