Trumpets

Sometimes I wish I could make my font bright, glittering gold. How do you get text to say "Celebrate! Rejoice! Laugh!"?

This weekend I got curious and read about the Year of Jubilee as described in Leviticus 25. Verses 9-10 say: "Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."

I don't have anything really deep to say; just to encourage you to imagine what it would have sounded like to hear trumpets blowing throughout a whole country. That is the way to start a Jubilee!

One day there will be a trumpet the whole world will hear. It will sound the return of Jesus for His Church. All who believe Jesus died for their sins and rose again will be part of that Jubilee: freedom, restoration, redemption, and eternal celebration. Think how those trumpets will sound.

To God be all glory.
