THE GLORIFICATION OF POWER FAITH

This is Book Two of the series THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPETS, and the first of the seven trumpet volumes. Book One, THE INTRODUCTION OF THE 7 TRUMPETS, laid the foundation: the seven trumpets of this generation are the seven worthinesses of the Lamb in Revelation 5:12 - power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory, blessing - delivered to the church through the seven rungs of Peter's golden ladder in 2 Peter 1:5-7 - faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, kindness.The first worthiness is power. The first rung is faith. The first trumpet, therefore, is THE GLORIFICATION OF THE POWER OF FAITH - and its key note, the scripture over which this entire volume is written, is the question of the Lord Jesus in Luke 18:8: Luke 18:8 (KJV)I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?As in every volume of this series, the Scriptures are sounded trilingually - in Hebrew, the tongue of the prophets; in Greek, the tongue of the apostles; and in Aramaic, the everyday tongue of the Lord Jesus Himself. Every foreign word is spelled out in plain English letters and explained in plain English speech. You need no seminary degree here; you need an ear. The three master words of this volume, which you will meet on nearly every page: Hebrew: אֱמוּנָה - emunah - faith, firm faithfulness, steadiness that can be leaned on; from the same root as "Amen." When you say Amen, you are speaking the language of faith.Greek: πίστις - pistis - faith, trust, persuasion; the word of Luke 18:8, of Hebrews 11, and of the whole New Testament gospel of believing.Aramaic: haymanuta (הַימָנוּתָא) - faith, in the tongue Jesus spoke in the streets; the word behind "thy faith hath made thee whole."This volume sounds in seven parts, and the map is simple. Part One stands under the Question - Luke 18:8 examined word by word. Part Two gives the Anatomy of faith - what faith actually is. Part Three gives the Diet of faith - how faith is fed and grown. Part Four gives the Works of faith - what faith does with its hands. Part Five gives the Fight of faith - what faith does under attack. Part Six gives the Power of faith - how the first worthiness of the Lamb lands on the earth through believing. Part Seven gives the Gallery and the Finding - the witnesses of faith from Abel until now, and the answer to the Lord's question. Then follow the Faith Register of scriptures trilingually sealed, the Sounding Exercises, and the close.One question. One trumpet. One aim: that when the Son of man cometh, He shall find faith - in you, in your house, and in your nation. Selah. Now hear the first movement
