In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe those who sound the trumpet, often in a ceremonial or eschatological setting. The trumpet is a significant instrument in biblical literature, symbolizing the announcement of important events, divine intervention, or the gathering of people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, trumpets were used for various purposes, including military signals, religious ceremonies, and public announcements. The sound of the trumpet was associated with authority and power. In Jewish tradition, the trumpet (shofar) was used in religious rituals, such as the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), and to signal the beginning of the Jubilee year. In the Greco-Roman world, trumpeters played a role in both civic and military life, often heralding the arrival of dignitaries or the start of games and battles.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4537.htm">salpizó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a trumpeter<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>trumpeters (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4538: σαλπιστής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σαλπιστής</span></span> (a later form, used by <span class="abbreviation">Theophrastus</span>, char. 25; <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 1, 45, 13; <span class="abbreviation">Dionysius Halicarnassus</span> 4, 18 (others), for the earlier and better <span class="greek2">σαλπιγκτής</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> 6, 69; <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, an. 4, 3, 29; <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">b. j.</span> 3, 6, 2; and <span class="greek2">σαλπικτης</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Demosthenes</span>, p. 284, 26; Appendix, hisp. 6, 93; and in the best manuscripts of <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, others; (cf.
