Most people might think of the word trump, in regards to its first most popular use. Also, Donald Trump, our current presidentwas noted at one time for "Trump casinos" and Americans might therefore relate his name more readily with the first definitionof trump related to card playing.
However, the word "trump" is used as announcing the rapture in a select few Bible Translation. The King James Version is theoldest of the translations, and sometimes referred to as the most accurate. The KJV uses the word trump rather than trumpetwhich most of the other translations use.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 King James Version (KJV)
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,and we shall be changed.
I've always had a King James Version Bible for reference. Thirty years ago if anyone had told me that we would ever have aPresident named Trump, I would have laughed, thinking it would be such a huge and obvious prophetic sign for the Coming ofthe Lord at the rapture.
In fact, a little over 30 years ago there was another such oddity with names. In 1986 there was the Chernobyl disaster. It wasdiscovered that in the Ukrainian Bible, where the word Wormwood was used, the word Chernobyl appeared. This also seemedlike a prophetic sign at the time.
Revelation 8:10-11 King James Version (KJV)
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third partof the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died ofthe waters, because they were made bitter.
"A number of Bible scholars consider the term Wormwood to be a purely symbolic representation of the bitterness that will fillthe earth during troubled times, noting that the plant for which Wormwood is named, . . .is a known Biblical metaphor for thingsthat are unpalatably bitter.[8][9] The Ukrainian language word for "wormwood" is чорнобиль or "chornobyl", the Ukrainian nameof the town of Chernobyl."
