I found out I had it wrong the other day when <br />I talked about Jesus playing the trumpet on <br />Judgment Day. Someone told me that he <br />won’t be doing that and that other folks will <br />handle the trumpet chores. <br /> <br />Actually, what’s more likely is that the <br />trumpet-players will be invisible and you’ll <br />just sort of hear the sound everywhere, <br />magically coming out of the sky like jet <br />engines. There might be some really loud <br />choral voices too, likewise coming out of the <br />sky from invisible singers (mainly sopranos) . <br /> <br />Everyone will suddenly stop doing whatever <br />they were doing. They’ll dropp their brooms in <br />mid-sweep. Cars will drive up onto the curb, <br />and maybe bump into a tree or a trashcan. <br />Lovers will stop kissing (sinning) . And <br />everyone will look around going, “What the <br />hell is that sound? ” Actually, the correct <br />phrasing is that they’ll gaze upwards in <br />wonderment and awe. <br /> <br />Then Jesus will make his dramatic entrance. <br />Somehow, everyone in the world will be able <br />to see him - I haven’t figured out how that’s <br />going to work. But what I was wondering is <br />what will Jesus be wearing? I mean, this is <br />going to be a huge Las Vegas-style spectacle <br />so I hope he won’t be wearing that same old <br />dirty smock. That is so First Century. I mean, <br />he doesn’t have to wear Armani or Hugo <br />Boss, but I can just see someone saying to <br />him, “Update your wardrobe, dude.” That <br />would be impolite, of course, but I imagine a <br />lot of people will be thinking that very thing.<br /><br />Professor Poetry Hound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trumpets-part-2/
