The Philadelphia Trumpet is a free magazine published by the Philadelphia Church of God based in Edmond, Oklahoma. Launched in February of 1990, it initially focused on the doctrines of Herbert W. Armstrong's "Plain Truth" magazine after Armstrong's death in 1986.[1] The magazine primarily features articles about current events, societal commentary, and Bible-based self-help topics, often interpreting Biblical writings as prophecies relating to world events.
