The Shot Heard Around the World on 07/07/07
My oldest son, Joshua David,
and I attended this event
together by traveling from
Harvest Alabama. Joshua and I
signed up before the event to be
2 of the 300 men that reenacted
Gideon’s army to blow shofars
(trumpets) together. We are
pictured here with our shofars,
which are ram’s horns that act
like trumpets. The two young
men, pictured with us, are from
Colorado. They stopped us as
we were going onto the field
because they had never seen a
shofar before and wanted a
picture of it. Abraham, in the
bible, was the first to use a
shofar as a trumpet of victory and thanksgiving towards God! It is a
symbol of Jesus the sacrificial lamb.
Those of us representing Gideon's army were given specific timing
instructions and red bandannas to wear. Around sundown, the 300 of
us marched towards the platform with our shofars raised. It was a very
memorable moment that my son and I will never forget. At the
appropriate time we all trumpeted our shofars together, and everyone
else in the stadium shouted loudly to the Lord. My ears were ringing it
was so loud! I believe it was a release of praise in the spirit that does
warfare similar to the armies of Gideon and Jehoshaphat in the Bible.
This sounding of the trumpets caused confusion in the enemy’s camp
where the Lord won battles without even firing a shot! The 7th book in
the bible, Judges 7:7 says: “Then the Lord said to Gideon, “By the 300
men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your
hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.”
The battle lines were obvious, such as the sins of abortion (Molech),
witchcraft (drugs), and sexual perversion (Moab). The Lord uses this
type of spiritual warfare and intercession to win these battles over such
evil principalities. How this happens may only be seen from the
perspective of eternity, but I believe a change has taken place in the
215
