The seven angels which stood before God; the seven mentioned hereafter, which blew with the trumpets; for we presently read, that seven trumpets were given to them. Trumpets were used to call the people together, to proclaim festivals, and in war. The use of these trumpets we shall hereafter read, which was to proclaim the will and counsels of God, as to things to come.
