“A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.”
A day of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements—the military imagery suggests that the Day of the LORD, while cosmic in scope, manifests in historical military upheaval. The fortified cities and lofty battlements, symbols of human security, prove defenseless against divine judgment. Military metaphor conveys that trust in human fortification is futile.
