No. The single trumpet in 1 Corinthians 15 is not the same as the seven trumpets in Revelation.
Les Feldick explicitly says the 'last trump' has nothing to do with the Revelation trumpets. In 1 Corinthians 15:52 it is God's singular trumpet for the Church, while in Revelation 8:2 seven angels are given seven trumpets to announce coming judgments.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 — This is the core passage about the 'last trump' at which believers are changed and the dead are raised.
Revelation 8:2 — This is the passage that directly describes the seven angels standing before God with seven trumpets.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 — This identifies the trumpet associated with the believer's gathering as the 'trump of God,' not an angelic trumpet.
Scripture presents two distinct trumpet scenes. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 'Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.' This is one trumpet, called the 'last trump,' and at it the dead are raised incorruptible and living believers are changed. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16 this same trumpet is called the 'trump of God,' accompanying the voice of the archangel and the Lord's own shout. In Revelation 8:2, however, John writes, 'And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.' These are angelic instruments, given to seven angels, and are part of the series of judgments that follow in Revelation.
Les Feldick is emphatic that the 'last trump' in 1 Corinthians 15 has nothing to do with the seven trumpets in Revelation. He tells listeners not to limit God by assuming He only has one trumpet. In the same way trumpets announced and gathered Israel in the Old Testament, God in His sovereignty will blow a trumpet for the Church, and believers will be changed. The Revelation trumpets, by contrast, are given to seven angels who stand before God, and they simply announce the next judgment event. Les also highlights that in Revelation 4:1 the voice John heard was 'like a trumpet'—a symbolic picture of the Church being called up—not an actual trumpet. The singular 'last trump' belongs to God and is reserved for the Body of Christ.
Les says no. He states plainly, 'Now this has nothing to do with the trumpets in Revelation.' He explains that people put God in a box when they assume the trumpet in Revelation must be the same one God uses for the Church. God has all kinds of trumpets, and He will use this one for the Church. Revelation 8:2 describes seven angels standing before God, and to them were given seven trumpets—these are angelic trumpets announcing judgments, not the single trumpet of God in 1 Corinthians 15.
At the last trump, Paul says 'the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.' Les connects this to the change of believers who are alive: 'those of us who know the Lord and are alive are suddenly going to be changed.' He describes it as happening in a split second, with the dead in Christ raised first and then living believers caught up together with them. This is a singular trumpet associated with the Lord's shout and the voice of the archangel, not with the seven angelic trumpets of Revelation.
Les says no. He teaches that there is no prophetic program to be fulfilled for this event and nothing to indicate at what day or year it will happen. It may be tonight, tomorrow, or ten years from now, and believers are to expectantly look for it at any time. This differs from the Second Coming, which will have prophetic events leading up to it so there is no doubt about when Christ returns to the Mount of Olives.
Les explains that the seven trumpets of Revelation are given to seven angels who stand before God, and they are used to announce the events that come upon the earth. In Revelation 8, he notes that these trumpets are given after a dramatic silence in heaven, and they simply announce the next event. He also places them in the broader structure of Revelation: the seven seals introduce the seven trumpet judgments, and the seventh trumpet judgment introduces the final seven bowl judgments.
The Imminent Trumpet Call
Les explains that the believer's change at the last trump is imminent and tied to no prophetic sign or date, unlike events leading to the Second Coming.
The Last Trump Is Not the Revelation Trumpets
Les explicitly rejects linking the last trump in 1 Corinthians 15 to the trumpets of Revelation, saying people wrongly put God in a box and that God has many trumpets.
God's Trumpets and the Symbolic Call
Les notes God has His own trumpets and a trumpet call like the one John heard in Revelation 4:1 pictures the Church's being called up.
Trumpets Used to Announce and Gather
Les shows that trumpets in Scripture have been used to announce and gather, and God is sovereign to use a trumpet for the Church as well.
Believers Changed at the Last Trump
Les connects the last trump with the change of church-age believers—dead raised incorruptible and living believers changed.
The Seven Angels and Seven Trumpets
Les shows Revelation 8:2 pictures seven angels standing before God with seven trumpets, announcing the judgments to come.
A Voice 'Like a Trumpet' in Revelation 4
Les stresses the Revelation 4 voice was 'like a trumpet,' not an actual trumpet, showing how careful readers should be with Revelation's symbolism.
Seven Trumpet Judgments in Revelation's Structure
Les situates the seven trumpet judgments within Revelation's sequence of seven-seals, trumpets, and bowls, clarifying they are distinct from the Church's trumpet call.
1 Corinthians 15:51: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Paul introduces the mystery of the believer's transformation before the last trump sounds.
1 Corinthians 15:52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
This is the key verse describing the singular 'last trump' in Paul's teaching about the resurrection and change of believers.
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:
This verse identifies the trumpet that accompanies the Lord's descent as the 'trump of God,' distinguishing it from angelic trumpets.
Revelation 8:2: And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
This verse describes the seven angelic trumpets of Revelation, which are distinct from the single trumpet of God in 1 Corinthians 15.
Revelation 4:1: After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Les notes that this voice was 'like a trumpet,' not an actual trumpet, and pictures the Church being called up.
The trumpet in 1 Corinthians 15 is singular and is described as the 'last trump' at which believers are raised and changed. The trumpets in Revelation are seven in number and are given to seven angels to announce judgments. Les Feldick says the 'last trump' has nothing to do with the Revelation trumpets.
No. Les says the 'last trump' in 1 Corinthians 15 has nothing to do with the trumpets in Revelation. He explains that God has all kinds of trumpets, and the one in 1 Corinthians is for the Church.
Revelation 8:2 describes seven angels standing before God, and to each was given a trumpet. Les describes these as angelic trumpets that announce the next judgment event.
Paul says that at the last trump the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible. Les pictures the Church hearing a trumpet call and being changed in a moment, even before hitting the ceiling.
