“shofar”, translated as “trumpet”, is used eleven<br />

times from chapter 8, verse 2, through chapter 9<br />

and chapter 10, verse 7, to chapter 11, verse 15. The<br />

last three trumpets are announced in Rev. 8:13 and<br />

are called “voices”, like in Rev. 10:7, “Woe, woe, woe,<br />

to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other<br />

voices of the trumpet of the three angels which are<br />

yet to sound.”<br />

“But in the days of the voice of the seventh Angel<br />

Question 13: Do you believe in the ministry of an eighth messenger?<br />

Answer: No, I certainly do not believe any man who claims<br />

to be the eighth messenger, nor do I believe what he<br />

says. According to Rev. 1:20, there are only seven<br />

stars, the seven angels to the seven churches, and<br />

they were in the right hand of the Lord. Any eighth<br />

messenger can therefore only be in the left hand<br />

or left pocket of someone else, because there is no<br />

promise for him in the Holy Scripture. There is furthermore<br />

no promise to the Church of a Joshua or<br />

Elisha or of any other prophet. All true servants of<br />

<strong>God</strong> at this time stand on the same foundation and<br />

they proclaim the true Word — the message of the<br />

hour, which foreruns the second coming of Christ.<br />

Question 14: Do you believe in the “parousia/coming” teaching?<br />

Answer: To this question I always give the same answer:<br />

When the Lord comes I will ascend to Glory together<br />

with all the saints. Each coming of the Lord<br />

is a reality, it is in person, a bodily presence. The<br />

term “par ou sia” in itself means coming in bodily<br />

presence. As long as the Bride Church is on earth,<br />

the Bridegroom has not yet come. When the Lord<br />
