The sermon explores the theological significance of the Feast of Trumpets, tracing its origins from the terrifying revelation at Mount Sinai to its fulfillment in the New Testament. It highlights how the trumpet serves as a divine instrument for summoning God's people, marking sacred time, and announcing judgment. The message emphasizes that this feast points forward to the return of Jesus Christ, who will sound the final trumpet to gather the elect and raise the dead. By connecting Old Covenant rituals with New Covenant hope, the text encourages believers to live in readiness and worshipful anticipation of Christ's second coming. Ultimately, it calls the audience to listen attentively to God's voice and draw near through the work of Jesus.

The sermon explores the theme of Jesus Christ's superiority as presented in Hebrews 1, contrasting the fragmented and temporary methods of God's past communication with the complete and final revelation found in His Son. It argues that while God spoke through various means such as prophets, angels, and theophanies, these were insufficient compared to the ultimate truth embodied in Jesus. The preacher emphasizes that the current era is defined by this singular voice of Christ, accessible through the Incarnation, the inspired Scriptures, and the indwelling Holy Spirit who glorifies Jesus. Rejecting the desire for renewed miraculous signs or prophecies, the text asserts that believers possess a complete and sufficient revelation in the Bible. The message concludes with an urgent call to listen to this final voice of God and recognize believers as Christ's eternal inheritance.

The sermon emphasizes that God remains sovereign and faithful to His covenant promises despite the ongoing exile of Israel under Gentile rule. It draws a parallel between the historical struggles of the Jewish people and the spiritual pilgrimage of believers, urging both groups to remain steadfast in faith while awaiting the Messiah's return. The message highlights the necessity of divine revelation over human speculation for true assurance and comfort. It challenges listeners to reject compromise and preach God's Word with authority, mirroring the prophet Zechariah's obedience. Ultimately, the broadcast serves as a reminder that God has not forgotten His people and is actively working toward their ultimate redemption.

Revelation 20:4 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." King James Version

The Bible gives us a description of the glory of the LORD. We should not accept the testimony of professing Christians (and others), especially when that testimony contradicts the Bible! Also Reference: Joshua 7:6, Revelation 1:14-16, John 3:7, 1 John 1:3 https://bbfohio.com
