Nah. The trump of God is the voice of God. The Lord Himself will descend from heaven at the trump of God.
The Lord will send His angels at the Last Trump
After that the Lord will return at the end of the trumpets of wrath with the armies of heaven.
If you are unable to understand these things, I am not sure what course of action to recommend.
Zechariah 9:14
"And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south."
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"
It never says the angel blows a trumpet. It says the voice of an angel is heard. Is there a distinction when an angel sounds like a trumpet, and when the angel uses a trumpet? Seems so according to Scripture.
"And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound."
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
God Himself could be blowing the Trumpet. Paul never states an angels blows the Trumpet at the Second Coming. Paul states an angel uses his voice which can sound like a trumpet.
"I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,"
No voices are used in Revelation 8.
"And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound."
One of those Trumpets could be the Trumpet of God. We are not told. So most assume the last Trumpet is also the Trumpet of God, then go on to assume it is an angel instead of God sounding the Trumpet of God.
"And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south."
No assumption in that verse. Now is Zechariah talking about the Second Coming? The point is that the Lord can sound the Trumpet just as easily as an angel can. Paul does not specify if an angel is sounding the trumpet or God. An assumption either way. Paul states that both a voice of an angel is used and the trump of God. The implication is that God can use a trumpet, and a greater chance, since the angel is using their voice, and not a trumpet. Who wants to be stricter in the wording of Scripture?
Is there a verse that states an angel actually blows the Trumpet of God? Not that I can find. Paul is the only one stating there is a Trumpet of God.
Why is it the last trump?
The Second Coming is when the church is made complete. It is also the first Trump of the body of Christ. I would say last, because no one will be allowed in the body of Christ after that point. That is the one and only roll call for the glorified church.
Is it an assumption that Paul is even conflating the church with the feast of an Israelite tradition? Israel was never the church. Israel was a type of the Church called out even among those of Israel. The church never replaced the type. The church was the body of Christ after the Cross. However the NT church does not exclude all those redeemed not born during the last 1993 years. Not all of Adam's redeemed flesh will be gathered and glorified at the Second Coming.
The firstfruits of the Millennium are gathered after that roll call. That is why premil should make a distinction between the body of Christ and those redeemed who reign with Christ. The interpretation of the 7 Trumpets is just as important as who is being glorified as complete sons of God.
The Trumpets were always the roll call of Israel as distinct from the church. And the church was always sealed as distinct from national Israel.
The Seals are about the harvest of the church, not tribulation, nor wrath. It is God's judgment on a church that rebelled, not the church that repented.
The Trumpets are for Israel, not the church. The Trumpet of God is for the church.
