“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;”
The command to blow the trumpet in Zion and sound the alarm on the holy mountain indicates urgency and the need for all people to be awakened to the danger. The reference to the trumpet heralds the coming day of the LORD, the apocalyptic moment of divine judgment. This verse opens the second chapter with call for alarm, suggesting that worse judgment is to come.
