The official magazine of the Philadelphia Trumpet newsmagazine, featuring reporting and analysis of recent global geopolitical, economic, social and religious events and trends. The Trumpet seeks to show how current events are fulfilling the biblically prophesied description of the prevailing state of affairs just before Jesus Christ’s Second Coming. It has a long history of accurate forecasting of major global events based on this predictive model, tracing back to the beginnings of the Plain Truth magazine in 1934 under the direction of Herbert W. Armstrong.
