It makes me very angry when WL and the Blendeds build an entire doctrine out of an allegory, and yet completely ignore the allegory.
Let's suppose for a fact that we can build this doctrine out of the allegory of a trumpet call in a war being a type of the word spoken to the believers. Let us also liken the commander that gives the order for the trumpet to sound to be likened to the publishing house.
At this moment it does seem that you can make a claim for one trumpet = one publisher.
The problem is that on a battlefield the commanding officer is very fluid (they do get killed). If I have a small company we have a commanding officer. That officer in turn reports to his superior, who also has a superior, who also, all the way to the Pentagon and to the "commander in chief". We have different theaters of operation, all with different generals, admirals, etc.
Today our "bugle call" could be likened to our radio. Every group, even as small as 10 or 20 soldiers will have their own radio. At best LSM would represent a single general (this is the most favorable description that can be made and certainly not one I would make). Why on Earth would Eisenhower allow MacArthur to control his radio broadcasts? It is idiotic and senseless.
The only person could possibly make the claim to "one trumpet" would be the commander in chief, and contrary to RG, BP and WL that is not WL, it is Jesus. Any claim to the contrary is to usurp the lordship of Jesus and is heresy.
