4536 sálpigks – "properly, a war-trumpet" (WS, 797) that boldly announces God's victory (the vanquishing of His enemies).

In the OT, trumpets were used to called God's people to war, and to announce victory wrought by Him. That is, a military clarion that proclaimed the Lord inspired and empowered the victory on behalf of His people.

["The trumpet was the signal employed to call the hosts of Israel to march as to war, and is common in prophetic imagery (Is 27:13). Cf. The seventh angel (Rev 11:15)" (WP, 1, 193).

Trumpets in the OT summoned God's saints for His righteous wars (Nu 10:9; Jer 4:19; Joel 2:1). See also Lev 23:24,25; Nu 10:2-10; Ps 81:3.]

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from an uncertain root.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H7782 שׁוֹפָר (shofar): A ram's horn trumpet, used in religious and military contexts in the Old Testament.
• H2689 חֲצוֹצְרָה (chatsotsrah): A silver trumpet, used for religious ceremonies and signaling in the Old Testament.

These Hebrew terms reflect the similar use of trumpets in the Old Testament, where they were employed in worship, warfare, and as signals for various events, paralleling the New Testament usage of σάλπιγξ.

Usage: The term σάλπιγξ is used in the New Testament to refer to a trumpet, often in contexts related to divine announcements, eschatological events, or calls to attention.

Context: The Greek word σάλπιγξ (salpinx) appears in several key passages within the New Testament, often symbolizing a divine or eschatological announcement. In the cultural context of the ancient world, the trumpet was an instrument used for various purposes, including military signals, religious ceremonies, and public proclamations. In the biblical narrative, the trumpet holds significant symbolic meaning, often associated with the voice of God or the heralding of important events.

In the New Testament, σάλπιγξ is prominently featured in eschatological contexts. For instance, in 1 Corinthians 15:52, the Apostle Paul writes, "in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." Here, the trumpet signifies the moment of resurrection and transformation at the end of the age.

Similarly, in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Paul describes the return of Christ: "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first." The trumpet serves as a divine signal, marking the return of Christ and the resurrection of believers.

The Book of Revelation also employs the imagery of trumpets extensively. In Revelation 8:6, the seven angels prepare to sound their trumpets, each heralding a specific judgment upon the earth. The use of trumpets in Revelation underscores their role as instruments of divine communication and judgment.

Theologically, the trumpet is a powerful symbol of God's intervention in human history, serving as a call to attention, a signal of divine action, and a herald of the fulfillment of God's promises.
