Then you can correct God.
In regards to trumpets, there are three that "belong" to God. They are associated with the Festivals and they have names. Now God is not above playing with words and there are some pretty cute names in the Bible.
The names for the three Trumpets of God are: the First Trumpet, the Last Trumpet, and the Great Trumpet.
The are associated with the Festival of Firstfruits, the Festival of Trumpets, and Yom Kippur.
Funny, God doesn't put the order of His Trumpets in the order you demand by way of the Greek!
Perhaps your ways and God's ways are not the same.
Kind of like how you conveniently fabricate Hab 1:9 to make it say something it doesn't.
You've been debunked and I can tell you now have an axe to grind. After all, neither you or Trekson certainly are NOT the shapest tool in the drawer. You're the one playing with words and the one who needs correction. Not me and not God! You guys are the ones changing the meaning of the word last to fit your false theology!
I'm going to tell you this one more time.
The word inspired means God breathed or God spoke. When God did speak to his prophets he spoke to them in the language that the prophet spoke, understood, and wrote in. In this case that language was Greek. So if I want to know what words God spoke to Paul when he wrote "the last trump," or, "the last day" I need to look at the Greek.
Now you fabricationist can accuse me of what you like so....
Look at what Strong's says at the top of the page,
1) extreme
a) last in time or in place
last in a series of places
c) last in a temporal succession
2) the last
a) last, referring to time
of space, the uttermost part, the end, of the earth
c) of rank, grade of worth, last i.e. lowest
And look at what Thayer says at the bottom of the page,
...the last in a series of places. in a temporal succession, the last: that remains after the rest have been conquered, that remains after the rest have one after another been spent. the trumpet after which no other trumpet will sound.

The word 'eschatos' is the same word Jesus used when he said,
"I am the first and the last."
This word 'eschatos' and Omega are the only words for last that means the finality or extreme last like it is here...
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
If Paul wanted to mean last when another could follow he would have used a word other than 'eschatos' or 'omega' for last...
2078. eschatos es'-khat-os a superlative probably from 2192 (in the sense of contiguity); farthest, final (of place or time):--ends of, last, latter end, lowest, uttermost.
4070. perusi per'-oo-si adverb from 4009; the by-gone, i.e. (as noun) last year:--+ year ago.
4218. pote pot-eh' from the base of 4225 and 5037; indefinite adverb, at some time, ever:--afore-(any, some-)time(-s), at length (the last), (+ n- )ever, in the old time, in time past, once, when.
5305. husteron hoos'-ter-on neuter of 5306 as adverb; more lately, i.e. eventually:--afterward, (at the) last (of all).
5598. omega o'-meg-ah the last letter of the Greek alphabet, i.e. (figuratively) the finality:--Omega.
The other words,
Aren't you guys always saying let scripture interpret scripture? You're method of interpretation is to fabricate things to support your doctrinal belief and you blatantly disregard the scriptural evidence because you've accepted, latched onto, and are bound to your false doctrine. You are loyal to your doctrine rather than loyal to the Word of God. You're not looking for truth. You're loyal to and trying to support a doctrine you have fallen for.... and a false one at that!
All scripture [is] given by
inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Kaotic, You debunk nothing. You just ramble on and on trying to prove a point that isn't provable. Here's the bottom line: Anyone that builds a foundation of theological belief based on a two-word phrase that is only used once in the bible, with absolutely no scriptural proof that it is even referencing the same basic event it is ascribed to, is foolish, unlearned and definitely not being a Berean. Especially when there are plausible alternative theories to what that phrase might represent. If you were to go anywhere else, in any other field of study and try to pull that off your career and your reputation would be ruined.
Rand, I respect your beliefs even though I don't agree with them. If you ever want to discuss it, you know where to find me.
A point that isn't provable??? The fact that the scroll isn't even opened yet at the 6th seal should enlighten you....but obviously it doesn't!
What you need is an introduction to hermeneutics and hermeneutics 101. You can say what you like but you have been
DEBUNKED!
