Many bible scholars know that almost every major event that occurred in the Apocalyptic timeline appears to happen when an angel blows its horn. Perhaps these loud trumpet sounds are signaling major war-like activity -- or a disaster where sirens are heard.

There’s an extraordinary coercive power to this "Last Days" thinking, especially when weaponized as a political tool to influence and manipulate the faithful.
