God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
The verse portrays Christ going up to heaven again in triumph. He who ascends is Emmanuel, God with us, returning on high after His earthly work. He goes up as King, and heaven receives Him as the King of glory.
He is attended on the way by the heavenly host, escorted by angels in His ascent. The shout and the trumpet sound are shouts of praise, proclaiming His victory and exalted character. He does not ascend for His own interest, but as the victorious Redeemer and conqueror of those made His through faith, leading captivity captive.
