The Seventh Trumpet—Christ’s Reign Foreseen

15 Then the aseventh angel sounded; and there were bloud voices in heaven, saying,

“cThe kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of dHis 1Christ; and eHe will reign forever and ever.”

16 And the twenty-four elders, who asit on their thrones before God, bfell on their faces and worshiped God,

17 saying,

“We give You thanks, aO Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to breign.

18 “And athe nations were enraged, and bYour wrath came, and cthe time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to 1reward Your dbond-servants the prophets and the 2saints and those who fear Your name, ethe small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

19 And athe 1temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and bthe ark of His covenant appeared in His 1temple, and there were flashes of clightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a dgreat 2hailstorm.
