The verses about the Sun and Moon refer to Solar and Lunar eclipses; the trumpet (of the Archangel Gabriel) is the way in which the Last Judgment is announced. The phrase &#8220;I want to be in that number&#8221; refers to the specific number of &#8220;144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth&#8221;, given as prophecy in Revelations. The Bible speaks of these people as being &#8220;sealed&#8221; as &#8220;servants of God&#8221;, without specifically calling them saints. As the hymn expresses the wish to go to Heaven, picturing the saints going in (through the Pearly Gates), it is entirely appropriate for funerals.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/When_the_Saints_Go_Marching_In\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are trav&#8217;ling in the footsteps Of those who&#8217;ve gone before, And we&#8217;ll all be reunited, On a new and sunlit shore, Oh, when the saints go marching in Oh, when the saints go marching in I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in And when the sun refuse to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/?gallery=when-the-saints\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">when the saints..<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":99,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-illustrations"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.popgunpirates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/45457_1171910193858_5173770_n.jpg?fit=511%2C719&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9b434-1C","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=100"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":592,"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100\/revisions\/592"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/99"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.popgunpirates.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
