And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. The gathering of the elect from the four corners of the earth — the universal ingathering of the chosen — is the counterpart to the tribulation's scattering. The loud trumpet echo Isaiah 27:13 (a great trumpet will sound, and those who are perishing in Egypt will come and worship). The angels who gather the elect are the same reapers who separated the weeds from the wheat (Matthew 13:41–43).
