The 7th Trumpet.
The 7th trumpet sounds declaring that it is time for the kingdom of this world to become the kingdom of Christ.
`And the seventh angel sounded.....
`The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and His Christ;
and He will reign forever and ever.`
(Rev. 11: 15)
The 24 Elders give thanks to God because He has taken His great power and reigned.
`And the 24 Elders who sat before God on their thrones.
fell on their faces and worshipped God, saying,
“We give thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One who is and who was and who is to come,
because You have taken Your great power and reigned.”
(Rev. 11: 16 & 17)
They declare that God`s wrath in the tribulation has come, and then enumerate the other judgments that will eventuate over time.
`the nations were angry and Your wrath has come,
and the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
That you should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
and those who fear your name, small and great,
and should destroy those who destroy the earth.`
(Rev. 11: 18)
The `Ark of the Covenant` is then seen opened in heaven. This is a symbolic picture of Christ, the Voice of God, speaking forth the judgments and making war against His enemies.
`Then the temple of God was opened in heaven,
and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple.
And there were lightnings, noises, thundering, an earthquake and great hail.`
(Rev. 11: 19)
