O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!
Alma 29:1
What’s the trump of God? Trump is an old word for trumpet. Trumpets are very loud, so God’s trumpet will be heard by everybody. The people are wicked, so Alma wants to borrow God’s trumpet and blow it so everybody hears it, aka everyone hears the gospel.
Where else is a trump or trumpet mentioned? Here are some:

all men shall be awakened … when the trump shall sound
Mormon 9:13
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised

day of the trumpet and alarm

For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

Nobody. If you aren’t certain when you share the gospel, others might detect the uncertainty in your voice and not believe it since you don’t believe it. That’s why you need a testimony.
