Publication Work in The Lord's Recovery aka The One Publication

[aron]

Where does it say that one trumpet is required for one certain and clear sound? Why can't many trumpets make one sound? I think of "the sound of many waters" from Revelation 14:2. You have many waters, each making a sound, but they blend together to make one sound. John didn't seem to object to multiple sources for one sound. Why should we?

Conversely the externally derived, one-source-required-for-oneness notion seems a lot like the "oneness" of the Great Harlot, Mystery Babylon. There, they require that everyone have the one seal, else you can't buy and sell. Sounds a lot like a religious book publisher trying to prevent anyone else in the church from publishing. Or is that just a coincidence.

Having only one trumpet, one sound, one voice reminds me of Babel, where God said, "Behold they are one people, with one language, and this is what they begin to do . . ." (Gen. 11.6)

Ironically, it is totalitarian regimes which also demand one voice, one speaking, one opinion, one publication, etc. Freedom of thought and opinion is a threat to controlling leaders.

This is the "oneness" of the heathen, which eventually finds its apogee in the Mystery Babylon; "brothers, it should not be so with you".
