Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'the Lord GOD will sound the trumpet' as the divine warrior appears closely matches 'with God's trumpet' at the Lord's descent. The eschatological trumpet of divine advent is shared.
High confidenceEcho4
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Zechariah's theophany where 'the Lord will appear... his arrow will go out like lightning' supplies the lightning-flash imagery for the Son of Man's day. The distinctive divine-lightning-of-judgment motif gives moderate Volume.
Medium confidence'The Lord GOD will sound the trumpet' in the theophanic deliverance oracle contributes to the eschatological-trumpet background of v.52. The echo is faint and one of several trumpet texts; included to map the cluster of OT trumpet imagery Paul compresses into 'the last trumpet.'
Low confidenceThe Lord appears over his people, his arrow goes forth like lightning, marching in the whirlwinds. The theophanic coming with power amid cosmic disturbance faintly colors Jesus' glorious Son-of-Man advent. Faint and atmospheric.
Low confidence'the Lord GOD will sound the trumpet' in the day of his appearing (Zech 9:14) reinforces the eschatological trumpet that accompanies the gathering.
