The declaring of our inheritance

Joshua 6:1–25 (ESV)

1 Now Jericho was shut up inside and outside because of the people of Israel. None went out, and none came in.

As Christians we are looking forward to a time where God’s promises will be completely fulfilled. In the words of 1 Peter 1:4, we are waiting for an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading: the new heaven and the new earth. And the arrival of that heavenly land of rest will be signalled with a trumpet, which will announce the coming of the Son of Man with all his angels (Matthew 24:31). It will be a final trumpet that will herald the day when Christ comes to cleanse the earth of all evil and gather his people into his presence forever.
