Sounding instrument for signals and announcements · dominant
The noun identifies the instrument whose unclear sound leaves people unprepared for war in 1 Corinthians 14:8; in 1 Corinthians 15:52 the APB renders the clause "at the last trumpet," followed by its sounding and the raising of the dead. In Revelation 8:2 and Revelation 8:6, plural forms are given to seven angels and are the instruments for which the angels prepare; Revelation 1:10 and Revelation 4:1 use its sound as the comparison for a voice.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the instrument with "trumpet," while also using phrases such as "loud trumpet call" and "blasts of the trumpet." These expressions confirm the clauses' presentation rather than establish separate lexical senses.
