The Last Trumpet
“Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52 WEB)
Many who don’t believe in a pre-Tribulation Rapture, say that The Rapture will only happen at “the last trumpet”, and they connect this to the seventh trumpet in the Book of Revelation.
However, this is not the only “trumpet” that is Biblical.
There is an annual feast instituted by God in the Bible called “The Feast of Trumpets”, or “Yom Teruah” in Hebrew.
“Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.’”” (Leviticus 23:23-25 WEB)
This Feast is actually a picture of the Rapture—our rest from the sufferings and sorrows of this world.
The other feasts are also pictures of things related to Jesus Christ.
Feast of Passover - Jesus’ death at the cross
Feast of Unleavened Bread - Jesus’ body lies in the tomb
Feast of Firstfruits - Jesus’ resurrection from the dead
Feast of Pentecost - Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to baptize His church
Feast of Trumpets - Jesus returning for His church at the last trumpet
Day of Atonement - Jesus returning to save Israel and destroy the Antichrist at the end of the Tribulation
Feast of Tabernacles - Jesus sets up the Millennial Kingdom of Christ
As we can see, four of the seven feasts have been fulfilled, and the next one awaiting fulfillment is the Feast of Trumpets that corresponds with the Rapture.
On the Feast of Trumpets every year, a shofar is sounded in Israel. It produces a melodious, resonant sound that gives a sense of victory. The shofar is sounded in a series of blasts.
Therefore, the last trumpet can also refer to the final blast of the trumpet. You can watch this video to listen to how the shofar is sounded on the Feast of Trumpets: https://youtu.be/uPvfGPfHdQU
“For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 WEB)
I believe in a pre-Tribulation Rapture (the great snatching away/ harpazo). One reason is because God’s word says that we are not appointed to wrath, but to salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. The seven years of Tribulation is the time of God’s “wrath”.
“For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 WEB)
The line after that is an obvious reference to the Rapture: that, whether we wake (Christians still alive at Jesus’ return) or sleep (saints who are dead in Christ), we should live together with Him. This will be fulfilled at the Rapture.
God’s trumpet that announces the Rapture is not the seventh trumpet of the Book of Revelation. It is a different trumpet handled by one of the archangels.
This trumpet can be sounded at any time soon—we don’t know the day or hour, but this definitely appears to be the right season. Look up, and get ready to meet our Lord Jesus!

🌻昨天跟朋友出遊. 我們有好幾個月沒見面了. 即使天氣不太好, 我們還是堅持原訂的計畫. 可見我們多想見到對方.
見面的時候, 我們都沒有戴口罩. 當我們擁抱的時候, 我鼻頭好酸好酸.
Anyway. 我想說的是, 請台灣的讀者撐著點. 這一切終將過去. 請盡量想&做讓自己快樂的事情.

Well, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head"

🌻暫定台灣時間本周日(06/06)早上10點做年報導讀. 美國這邊的朋友也歡迎(美東時間周六晚上10點, 美西時間晚上7點). 會以Zoom進行(抱歉我不會露臉😅). 周四會將細節公布.
如果屆時不方便, 我會將影片錄下來, 之後可以觀看.
如果想要我導讀特定一家的年報, 可以在下方留言. 我會試自己的能力圈而做決定.
🌻Shopify(SHOP)財報
抽空看了一下SHOP的財報.
兩個印象較深的點是:
1. 高層稱他們為commerce operating system(電商的作業系統)(這其實高層提過好幾季了, 不過之前沒注意到. 之前高層用的字眼是retail operating system). 這讓我想到微軟也是做operating system.
2. 他們是把企業用戶(enterprise)等級的設施給中小型電商來使用: "the company’s platform offers security, scalability, and reliability that is normally only available to businesses with enterprise-level budgets (from一位分析師)"
兩個需要注意的地方是:
1. 今年還是會很積極地做投資&擴展, 這或許會對利潤造成壓力:
"........and plan to reinvest back into our business as aggressively as we can with a year-over-year growth in operating expenses accelerating each quarter throughout the rest of the year."
"As such, we expect full year 2021 adjusted operating income to be below the level we achieved in 2020."
2. 高層異動很大(可參考這篇新聞: https://ec.ltn.com.tw/article/breakingnews/3500525).
分析師已經連續兩季問高層公司文化方面的問題了. 公司在年報中也有說過, 高層的異動會是影響公司營運的風險之一. 不過實際上會如何還是需要持續觀察. 供參. (有附上年報中關於這點的截圖)
Anyway. 其他內容可到部落格那邊去看:
