“Sound, sound abroad, ye faithful servants of the Lord, and
witnesses in his name, ye prophets of the Highest, and angels of
the Lord! Sound ye all abroad in the world, to the awakening and
raising of the dead, that they may be awakened, and raised up out
of the grave, to hear the voice that is living. For the dead have
long heard the dead, the blind have long wandered among the blind,
and the deaf amongst the deaf. Therefore sound, ye servants,
prophets, and angels of the Lord, ye trumpets of the Lord, that
you may awaken the dead, and them that are asleep in their graves
of sin, death and hell, sea and earth, and who lie in the tombs.
Sound abroad, ye trumpets, and raise up the dead, that they may
hear the voice of the Son of God, of the second Adam that never
fell; the voice of the Light, and of the Life; the voice of the
Power, and the voice of Truth; the voice of the Righteous, and of
the Just. Sound ye the trumpets, the melodious sound abroad, that
all the deaf ears may be opened to hear the pleasant sound of the
trumpet to judgment and life, to condemnation and light.
“Sound your trumpets all abroad, ye angels of the Lord, sons and
daughters, prophets of the Highest, that all who are dead and
asleep in the graves—who have been long dreaming and slumbering,
may be awakened, and hear the voice of the Lamb;—that all who have
long heard the voice of the beast, may now hear the voice of the
Bridegroom and the voice of the Bride;—that they may now hear the
voice of the great Prophet and King—the Shepherd and Bishop of
their souls. Sound, sound it all abroad, ye trumpets, among the
dead in Adam; for Christ is come, the second Adam, that they might
have life, yea have it abundantly. Awaken the dead, awaken the
slumberers, the dreamers, them that are asleep, awaken them out of
their graves, out of their tombs, out of their sepulchres, out of
the seas! Sound abroad, ye trumpets that awaken the dead, that
they may all hear the sound of it in the graves, and they that
hear may live, and come to the Life, that is, the Son of God. He
is risen from the dead; the grave could not hold nor contain him,
neither could all the watchers of the earth, with all their
guards, keep him therein. Sound, ye trumpets of the Lord, to all
the seekers of the living among the dead, that he is risen from
the dead; to all the seekers of the living among the dead, and in
the graves that the watchers keep; he is not in the grave, he is
risen; there is that under the grave of the watchers of the
outward grave, which must be awakened and come to hear His voice,
who is risen from the dead, that they may come to live. Therefore
sound abroad, ye trumpets of the Lord, that the grave may give up
her dead, and hell and the sea give up their dead; that all may
come forth to judgment, to the judgment of the Lord before his
throne, and have their sentence and reward according to their
works.”
