Hos. 9. 12. Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them.
WE find in the Law of Moses that in several cases the Priests of the Lord were to sound the Trumpets unto the people to summon and awaken them unto the special duties which God called for, Numb. 10. 1—10. And in like manner the Lord commandeth his Prophets to lift up their voice like a Trumpet, and to set the Trumpet unto their mouth, Isa. 58. 1. Hos. 8. 1. One end of blowing the Trumpet was to give warning to the people of any approaching danger, that they might timely ⟨p. 2⟩prevent and escape it. Joel 2. 1. Blow ye the Trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in mine holy mountain: let all the Inhabitants of the Land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand. This is one special duty of the spiritual Watchmen, Jerem. 6. 17. I set Watchmen over you, saying, hearken to the sound of the Trumpet. Son of man, saith the Lord to the Prophet, I have set thee a Watchman to the House of Israel, therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. See Ezek. 33. 2—9. as Elisha gave the King of Israel warning of the King of Syria's counsels against him, 2 Reg. 6. 9. This charge Jehoshaphat gave unto the Priests and Levites, that they should warn the people not to transgress, least wrath come upon them and their brethren, 2 Chron. 19. 10.
