(Old Testament)
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield[a] and the horn[b] of my salvation, my stronghold.
Footnotes:
1. Psalm 18:2 Or sovereign
2. Psalm 18:2 Horn here symbolizes strength.
(End of Scripture Passage)
"YHVH Keren Yishi - The LORD The Horn of My Salvation"
There is a reason that Trumpets and Bugles are called "Horns". The Original Instruments were actually made from the Horns of Rams and Bulls, Hollowed out and played like a Bugle. The longer and more curvy the horn, the deeper and more powerful the SOUND. The Modern Shofar is a Beautiful example of this very ancient instrument.
Because the horns are the both offensive and defensive weapon of the animal who grows them, the horn is a symbol of Pure POWER and Strength. Ancient Altars had "horns" on each corner to demonstrate the Power of God.
Ancient Armies did not have telephones, so the Horn was used to marshal the troops. There was a different horn call for each maneuver. Only the Screeching sound of the Horn could be heard over the noise of Battle. Up to and including the American Civil War, The Vanguard contained the Horns to guide thousands of men. From as far back as Jericho, the musicians were the first ones into the battle. We Continue this Tradition Today with Reveille and Taps.
In both Judaism and Christianity, the Horn represents, Power, Might, Salvation, Rescue, and The Gathering In of Believers. Rosh Hashanah is alternately called "The Feast of Trumpets", and peolple continue to learn how to blow specific "Trumpet Calls" for this Ancient instrument to this day.
We pray for the Repentance, Restoration, and Renewal of Our Beloved Nation.
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Agreeing in prayer!
Maybe I ought to start each morning blowing my shofar! I need to do some research on when to use it.
Amen and thank you.
It would appear to be a good battle strategy to shoot the shofar player first.
For the safety of you and your family, I hope your neighbors live very far away. :)

Joining in prayer for both nations beloved to us - for the Peace of Jerusalem and for righteousness to be exalted in America.
LOL...early efforts on the shofar often sound eerily like the bleating of the creature from which the instrument was obtained! :-)
