A Great Sound of a Trumpet (Matt.24:31).

We had the Feast of Trumpets, the day of Atonement and we are now approaching the Feast of Tabernacles.  Sadly, these festivals were never understood in WCG, and the same ignorance is still being peddled by the hirelings in the divided groups that were formed since God spewed WCG out of his mouth.

On the feast of Trumpets, pompous, ignorant men who were ordained ministers as a result of licking the boots of Dr. Meredith, Hermon Hoeh, Raymond McNair or even Mr. Armstrong, used to turned up for services.  They were often met in the car park by a grovelling, sycophantic member, who was aspiring to be ordained a deacon.

The hireling seat at the front of the congregation had been reserved for him, and he walked in with a haughty deportment, as though he was Julius Caesar, who had just returned from an arduous battle, and was worthy of a Triumvirate.

After the preliminaries of song leading and meaningless sermonette, the hireling rose to his feet, and surveyed his captive, docile congregation, who paid his salary. He eventually proceeded to say, he was giving a sermon on the meaning of the day.

The meaning of Trumpets is explained by Jesus in Matthew 24,  On the mount of Olives, He was asked by his disciples, "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of your coming, and the end of the world?"(Matt.24:3).

The exposition of Matthew 24 is the meaning of the day of Trumpets.  But the hireling ministry, who were without the gift of the Holy Spirit, never understood the meaning of Trumpets, or of any of the other sublime mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
