13. great trumpet--image from the trumpets blown on the first day of
the seventh month to summon the people to a holy convocation
(Le 23:24).
Antitypically, the gospel trumpet
(Re 11:15; 14:6)
which the Jews shall hearken to in the last days
(Zec 12:10; 13:1).
As the passover in the first month answers to Christ's crucifixion, so
the day of atonement and the idea of "salvation" connected with the
feast of tabernacles in the same seventh month, answer to the
crowning of "redemption" at His second coming; therefore
redemption is put last in
1Co 1:30.
Assyria--whither the ten tribes had been carried; Babylonia is mainly
meant, to which Assyria at that time belonged; the two tribes were
restored, and some of the ten accompanied them. However, "Assyria"
is designedly used to point ultimately to the future restoration of
the ten fully, never yet accomplished
(Jer 3:18).
Egypt--whither many had fled at the Babylonish captivity
(Jer 41:17, 18).
Compare as to the future restoration,
Isa 11:11, 12, 16; 51:9-16
("Rahab" being Egypt).
