And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his chosen ones from the four directions, from one end of heaven to the other end.
This saying describes the concluding moment of Christ’s second coming, when His angels will sound the trumpet as a divine summons that will gather the elect from the whole world. The “trumpet” here symbolizes the voice of God, which with its power calls His faithful ones to salvation. The “four winds” emphasize the universality, that no one who belongs to Christ will remain forgotten. This saying shows God’s eternal faithfulness, that He will fulfill His promise. He will gather His people from every place, uniting them in the eternal kingdom. This is the moment when a turning point takes place in history: after judgment, the full light of salvation is opened, sounding not as terror, but as a victorious call for those who have awaited the Lord’s coming.
