He even gives us signs of things to come in many of His past saints; as it is written in Isaiah 8:18 “Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.” Just as Jesus himself was a sign given of the fall and rising again of many in Israel. What I want to focus on in this thread is the sign of “the shout” given to us many times in scripture in various ways and situations. Starting first with Jesus. When Jesus gave up the ghost it is written that He cried out with a shout “it is finished!” Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with “a loud voice,”yielded up the ghost. John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished:”and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” This is similar to the words we see mentioned after the the mighty angel, or the archangel shouts with a loud voice at the 7th and last trump in Revelation 10:77 …But in the days of “the voice of the seventh angel,” when he shall begin “to sound,” the mystery of God should be “finished,” as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” So it seems this shout and the sound of the trumpet is to signify a finishing point. As Paul said 1 Thessalonians 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:” The sign of this sound of the trumpet and the great shout is also shown in the story of the fall of Jericho, when after the 7 priests with 7 horns had completed the 7th rotation around the city, the people were all told to SHOUT! And the walls of the city fell, and the people ascended up. Joshua 6:5 “And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with “a great shout;”and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.” Joshua 6:20 “So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with “a great shout,” that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.” This to me signifies the final fall of mystery Babylon, the ascension of the saints, and the kingdoms of this world becoming the kingdoms of God and of His Christ. The likeness of this shout at the coming of the Lord is also shown in many different ways. It was shown at Christ’s first coming…Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; “shout,”O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.” And it is shown at His second coming…Isaiah 52:8-9 8 Thy watchmen shall lift up “the voice;”with “the voice together”shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion. 9 Break forth into joy, “sing together,”ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.” It is also written we are to lift up our voice “like a trumpet.” Now you could imagine the shouts for joy heard in the mouths of all His saints when Christ finally returns. I believe a foreshadowing of this event is also shown in 1 Samuel 4:5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came back into the camp, and all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.” 2 Samuel 6:14-15 “And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord “with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.” 1 Chronicles 15:28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.” Again shouts of joy…. Psalm 47:1 “O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.” Psalm 47:5 “God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.” Psalm 132:9 “Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.” Psalm 132:16 “I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.” Isaiah 12:6 “Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.” Isaiah 44:23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.” And also the load and mighty roar and shout, and the is cry heard when the time of the grapes of wrath are ripe. Jeremiah 25:30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give “a shout,” as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.” Revelation 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple,crying with “a loud voice” to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. Revelation 14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and “cried with a loud cry” to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.” The great sound of the Trumpet and great voices… Matthew 24:31 “And he shall send his angels with “a great sound of a trumpet,”and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Revelation 11:15 “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were “great voices”in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” The heavens shall pass away with a great noise… 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with “a great noise,”and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These studies can be of great help to the rest. I believe the "shout" at our resurrection is the most profound of the "shouts". Almost every where else the shut is to the living - those who can hear. But what power is needed so that the dead hear? Note that our Lord also shouted at Lazarus (Jn.11:43) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had He not called Lazarus by name, all those in the grave would have come forth. He will SHOUT a deafening roar when He comes... and ALL those in the graves will come out.

I like the part about the call to Lazarus being singular and selective. However I see the resurrection as a harvest and therefore in relays. 1st Corinthians 15:23 gives Christ's resurrection, then ours "when He comes", followed by Israel (who were scattered to the four winds - Matt.24:31, Ezekiel 37). Then 1st Corinthians 15:24 onward says that our Lord Jesus must reign. I take that to be the Millennium because death is only conquered at the end of the Millennium. Israel and the Gentiles do not have the last Trumpet because Israel and Gentile survivors of Armageddon will celebrate the feast of trumpets during the Millennium (Zech.14:16).

I therefore believe most, if not all of the shouts and yells in the bible represent an intense emotional climax brought about by certain actions.
