God's Guiding Voice
John Calvin explains that the trumpets were God's way of ensuring Israel acted on His initiative, not their own. By having priests sound the trumpets for assemblies, travel, and war, God taught the people to depend on His divine guidance rather than human passion or rashness. This reminds believers to seek God's will and timing in all major decisions.
