The Awakening Trumpet
Monday | 17 November 2025
I saw a golden trumpet hovering over Australia. It seemed to be waiting, either for its appointed time to be blown or for someone to stand up and sound it, but I wasn’t sure which. It carried the weight of divine purpose, like a catalyst poised to release something significant. It gave me the impression of a military bugle at dawn playing Reveille (the call that signals soldiers to awaken and raise the national flag).
I didn’t see the trumpet blown nor did I hear its sound. But I saw ahead to what would happen when it was. The outline of Australia lit up, with the entire coastal perimeter highlighted. Then a multitude of lights (representing people) throughout the country began rushing toward the coast, drawn by an unseen force.
The scene shifted to beaches across the nation, where people gathered for baptisms. It became a normal sight; people being baptised at beaches was as common and frequent as any other beach activity. I watched as these baptisms took place alongside surfing, swimming, and sunbathing.
It felt like the whole nation had been awakened to God. I could see the Christians had been activated! Sons and daughters of God, just like Romans 8:14 and 19 describes. They were moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit, aware of the authority Christ had given them, fearless in proclaiming the gospel, and tender in their delivery.
Instinctively, the newly converted wanted to be baptised immediately. They would go after work, after school, in between errands. Many were baptised by the very person who had just led them to Christ. What I saw reminded me also of Ephesians 4:12, every member equipped to do works of ministry. It was a picture of a great harvest. Not necessarily stadium events, but a mobilised, loving, anointed, and glorious church ministering powerfully to their colleagues, classmates, neighbours, and families.
I was reminded of Matthew 11:11, where Jesus said:
“Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”
In that even those who may not be esteemed, or thought of as “a nobody”, were still a force to be reckoned with. I believe what I saw is one of the dreams in God’s heart. What he intends for our nation. I believe the trumpet sound is the prayer and intercession of the saints. At every moment in what I saw, you can participate and be a part of what God has destined for this nation. It’s time that the church in Australia would rise to fulfil this glorious calling, and to recognise what an honour it is to be part of it.
