The Lord speaks to the church in the following verses .... first His evaluation of the condition of the church on the earth in Revelation 2 & 3 .... and then His call to immortalize the true believers just before He brings His hour of trial upon an unbelieving world.
First Trumpet Sounding For The Church
Revelation
1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet
1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea
1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter
3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Last Trumpet Sounding For The Church
Revelation
18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
1Thessalonians
4:16 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
1Corinthians
15:52 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.
