Pempepepepee! Owuor Reveals Trumpet Sound for End Times

Prophet David Owuor, leader of the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness in Kenya, has shared what he says is the trumpet sound that will signal the last day when Jesus returns. He described it as “Pemplepe pemblepeee”, a sound he claims comes from a vision. Owuor also mentioned that Angel Gabriel is practising his trumpeting skills for that moment.

This revelation came during one of his recent teachings. Videos circulating online show Owuor demonstrating the sound in front of followers. It’s a series of sharp, repeating notes meant to mimic a heavenly call. Some clips use onomatopoeia like “pee pee pe-peeeeh” to spell it out, but the idea stays the same. Owuor ties it to Bible verses, like in 1 Thessalonians, where a trumpet call raises the dead in Christ. He urges people to prepare by living holy lives.

Owuor’s church, based in Nakuru, has grown big over the years. He started preaching in the early 2000s after claiming visions from God. His messages focus on end times, repentance, and miracles. Crowds pack his crusades in places like Nairobi or Kisumu. Followers say he’s healed the sick and even predicted events like earthquakes. But not everyone agrees. Critics call some claims over the top, and ex-members have spoken out about strict rules in the group.

The trumpet story isn’t new for Owuor. Back in October 2025, he talked about hearing the sound in a vision. A post on X mentioned him preparing people for the day the dead rise. Then in November, more videos popped up showing him explain it. One Facebook clip has him demonstrating how the trumpet will blast at the world’s end. He said when the last person accepts Jesus, that’s when it happens.

Social media lit up with reactions. Some fans took it seriously. They shared clips of trumpeters trying to copy the sound. One X user, a musician from Nairobi, posted a video practising what he called the “prophetic trumpet”. He joked it was a good day to get ready. Comments under it ranged from laughs to serious nods. A few said it matched what Owuor described.

But others mocked it. On Facebook, posts from Kenyan news pages drew sceptical comments. One user called Owuor a “false prophet” and said Jesus comes back differently. Another said he’s lost his way and should focus on real salvation. The Kenyan Daily Post ran a story in September 2025 about the buzz, saying it set tongues wagging. They embedded a video where Owuor unveils the sound, sparking debates online.

This fits Owuor’s style. He’s known for bold prophecies. In the past, he claimed to stop rains or heal HIV. His church runs radio stations and online channels to spread the word. In Kenya, where many people follow evangelical leaders, his teachings draw both crowds and questions. After the Shakahola cult deaths in 2023, the government watches groups like this closer. They set up rules to check on extreme claims. Owuor’s ministry faced probes before, like on taxes, but kept going.

Followers defend him fiercely. They point to testimonies at events. One recent post said the trumpet sound warns us to repent now. Owuor often travels abroad, holding revivals in Europe or Africa. In Finland last year, he spoke on similar themes. He says God shows him these things to wake people up.

Sceptics see it as hype. Atheist groups in Kenya argue for proof beyond words. Even some Christians from other churches keep their distance. They say the Bible doesn’t specify the exact sound, just that a trumpet will call. Owuor’s beard and robes make him stand out, like a biblical figure. That draws some, turns off others.

The Angel Gabriel part adds colour. Owuor claims the angel is rehearsing in heaven. It’s a vivid image, meant to make the end times feel real. In tough times, with economy struggles or health worries, people look for hope. Owuor’s messages offer that but also stir fear of judgement.

No official response from authorities yet. The church hasn’t set a date for the end; it just says be ready. Videos keep spreading on TikTok and Instagram. One TikTok explained the rapture trumpet, linking to Owuor’s words. It got views from folks curious about faith.

In Nakuru, daily life in the church goes on. Members meet for worship, sharing stories. Owuor lives simply, they say, focused on the mission. But controversies follow. Ex-member Nelson Amenya spoke out last year about inside issues, like faked events. That didn’t slow the ministry much.

This trumpet revelation reminds Kenyans of bigger questions. What do we believe about the end? How do leaders shape that? For now, the sound “Pemplepe pemblepe” echoes online. Some hear a call to change. Others just scroll past. As 2026 starts, Owuor keeps preaching. More visions might come. People watch and decide for themselves.

The story shows faith’s pull in Kenya. Millions seek guidance. Leaders like Owuor fill that space. Whether the trumpet sounds soon or not, the talk keeps going.
