1- That trumpet REALLY bothers you, eh? Prefer the Sax?
2- No, but it does Christ, since he was raised ABOVE his fellows, yet STILL retains his authority (voice) of Archangel!
1) I don't really care for either instrument, to be honest.
2) I see. Jesus commanding angels means that he is an archangel while Jehovah commanding angels does not. Fine logic, that.
"Voice" at 1 Thess 4:16 is Greek 'phone' (Strong's 5456). The primary meaning of the word is "sound". When translated "voice", it is to say "the sound of a voice".
So according to 1 Thess 4:16, when Jesus descends, the sound of a voice of an archangel will be heard. Just a thought, but, um... could it be that the sound of an archangel's voice will be heard because when Jesus decends, there will be angels present?
Matt 24:30"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Imagine that! Jesus will descend "with his angels", and at the same time, the sound of an archangel's voice will be heard...
And your Christological views are based on this verse?
