The term '7 trumpets' typically refers to a biblical concept found in the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. It describes a sequence of seven trumpet blasts that signal various apocalyptic events and divine judgments during the end times. Each trumpet blast heralds a specific event, contributing to the overarching theme of revelation and transformation.
The word 'trumpet' comes from Middle English 'trumpe' and Old French 'trompette', which traces back to the Latin 'tuba' meaning a horn or a tube, used for signaling. The number '7' is often associated with completeness and divine perfection in biblical texts.
