Isaiah 27:13 Summary
[This verse is talking about a future time when God will call His people back to Himself with a loud trumpet sound, and they will worship Him together in Jerusalem. This is a picture of God's power and love for His people, as seen in Isaiah 40:11, where He gathers His flock like a shepherd. The 'holy mountain' refers to the place where the Temple was located, and it's a symbol of God's presence and worship. Just like the Israelites, we can respond to God's call and worship Him with others, as encouraged in Hebrews 10:25.]

Reflection Questions
- What does it mean to 'worship the Lord on the holy mountain' in my own life, and how can I apply this to my daily worship?
- How does the image of the great ram's horn sounding and gathering God's people relate to my own experience of being called by God?
- What are some ways that I, like the Israelites, may be 'perishing' or feeling lost and separated from God, and how can I respond to His call to return to Him?
- In what ways can I, like the Israelites in this verse, 'come forth' from my own places of exile and worship the Lord with others in my community?

And it shall come to pass in that day,.... When the Lord is about to do the above things, and in order to it.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 27:13
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 27:13
The great trumpet; which may be heard even to the remotest parts of the earth. God shall summon them all together as it were by sound of trumpet, to wit, by an eminent call or act of his providence on their behalf. He alludes to the custom of calling the Israelites, together with trumpets; of which see ,3. The land of Assyria, where the ten tribes were carried captive. The land of Egypt, where many of the Jews were, as is manifest both from Scripture, as 44:28 , and from other authors.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 27:13
Isaiah 27:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.Ver. 13. The great trumpet shall be blown.] Or, A blast shall be blown with a great trumpet. Tuba haec magna apostolica praedicatio est, saith Oecolampadius. This great trumpet is the gospel, the preaching whereof is of power to save those that perish, to put life into the dead.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 27:13
(13) The great trumpet shall be blown . . .—The symbolism had a probable origin in the silver trumpets which were used in the journeys of the Israelites “for the calling of the assembly and for the journeying of the camps” (Numbers 10:1-10), and which were solemnly blown in the year of Jubilee on the eve of the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 25:9). It re-appears in the Apocalyptic eschatology of Mat 24:31; 1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16, standing there, as here, for any great event that heralds the fulfilment of a Divine purpose. That purpose, in this instance, is the proclamation of the Year of Redemption, the restoration of the dispersed of Israel from the countries of their exile, of which, as in Isaiah 11:11; Isaiah 19:23, Assyria and Egypt are the two chief representatives. (Comp. Zephaniah 3:10.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 27:13
Verse 13. The great trumpet shall be blown] Does not this refer to the time spoken of by our Lord, Matthew 24:31: He shall send forth his angels - the preachers of his Gospel with a great sound of a trumpet - the earnest invitation to be saved by Jesus Christ; and shall gather his elect - the Jews, his ancient chosen people, from the four winds - from all parts of the habitable globe in which they have been dispersed. In this prophet there are several predictions relative to the conversion of Egypt to the true faith, which have not yet been fulfilled, and which must be fulfilled, for the truth of God cannot fail. Should Egypt ever succeed in casting off the Ottoman yoke, and fully establish its independence, it is most likely that the Gospel of Christ would have a speedy entrance into it; and, according to these prophecies, a wide and permanent diffusion. At present the Mohammedan power is a genuine antichrist. This also the Lord will remove in due time.
