This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
With a great sound of a trumpet (meta salpiggos phōnēs megalēs). Some MSS. omit (phōnēs) “sound.” The trumpet was the signal employed to call the hosts of Israel to march as to war and is common in prophetic imagery (Isa 27:13). Cf. the seventh angel (Rev 11:15). Clearly “the coming of the son of man is not to be identified with the judgment of Jerusalem but rather forms its preternatural background” (Bruce).
