[Teachldsseminary] QUES

[Barb Gardner]

Yes... they are the trumpets of ram's horns.
 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: 
and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests 
shall blow with the trumpets.
5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's 
horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout 
with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the 
people shall ascend up every man straight before him.



When in Israel the directors of the Jerusalem Center told us how the ultra 
orthadox Jews marched around the site when it was under construction blowing 
shofars exactly as the priests did in Joshua's day, hoping that the walls 
would come tumbling down. They feared that the "Mormons" would cause a 
spiritual holocaust by leading the Jews into Christianity. It was this 
protest that led to our agreement to not proselyte in Israel..... for now. 
Since then they have become some of our most ardent supporters in the Holy 
Land.
