ICor 14:7-8 “Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for battle? So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.

Now this word is spoken in 1 Corinthians 14 within the context of talking about saints speaking in tongues in a meeting. It is an interesting analogy. The trumpet is used by the military because the sound can be heard above the din of warfare. Also, a song can have a meaning: “gather together”, “go to sleep”, “go to war”. So when the trumpet plays the song you don’t have to hear the entire song, just a few notes and you know exactly what to do. This analogy is used by Paul to explain his burden that the believers would speak a few clear words that everyone could understand rather than to speak in tongues that no one can understand.

But that is merely what the average simpleton might glean from their superficial reading of this passage. You have to really be impressed with the LSM brain trust and the depth of their revelation to see the high peaks vision that “an uncertain sound” really means that there should be one publisher. You see speaking in tongues is like using different publishers, not because the publishers publish in different languages that no one can understand, but because…they publish words that are speaking into the air. But speaking words of edification is like using the LSM publisher because that is what the LSM does, their focus is words of edification.

I was reading this passage and it occurred to me that I would never, (and I do not like to say the word never), but I would never have seen that an “uncertain trumpet sound” in 1 Cor was actually a charge by Paul (on penalty of being excommunicated) to have one publisher. It is examples like this that demonstrate once again that we should leave Bible exposition to the experts that can explain this stuff to us, it almost make you want to get a RcV for the footnotes.

Anyway I just thought I’d throw this out there. I know there must be a lot of others on this site who also want to marvel at these high peaks truths, the way they see things in the Bible that the common man just cannot see.
