"The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said:
'The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ,
and he will reign for ever and ever.' And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying:
'We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
the One who is and who was,
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.
The nations were angry; and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,
and for rewarding your servants the prophets
and your saints and those who reverence your name,
both small and great—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.'
Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm."
This depiction of the Seventh Trumpet is something that leaves me in awe… "loud voices" in heaven worshipping God, the 24 elders worshipping God: the world becomes Jesus Christ's kingdom that will last forever! The Eternal God of great power reigns! Judgment and reward flow from God's temple in heaven with flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, earthquakes and hailstorms!
Just breath-taking! Today I worship our God in all his majestic splendor! The God who sustains the universe from second to second, the God who maintains my life from breath to breath, the God who blesses us with so much from moment to moment!
