Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed
15 Then (A)the seventh angel sounded: (B)And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, (C)“The [a]kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, (D)and He shall reign forever and ever!” 16 And (E)the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and (F)worshiped God, 17 saying:
“We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One (G)who is and who was [b]and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power (H)and reigned.
18 The nations were (I)angry, and Your [c]wrath has come,
And the time of the (J)dead, that they should be judged,
And 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.”

New King James Version
The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom(A)
2 Why (B)do the [a]nations [b]rage,
And the people plot a [c]vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the (C)rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His (D)Anointed,[d] saying,
3 “Let (E)us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens (F)shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have [e]set My King
[f]On My holy hill of Zion.”

2 Samuel 5:17-25
New King James Version
The Philistines Defeated(A)
17 (B)Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it (C)and went down to the stronghold. 18 The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in (D)the Valley of Rephaim. 19 So David (E)inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?”
And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
20 So David went to (F)Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place [a]Baal Perazim. 21 And they left their [b]images there, and David and his men (G)carried them away.
22 (H)Then the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. 23 Therefore (I)David inquired of the Lord, and He said, “You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. 24 And it shall be, when you (J)hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then (K)the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” 25 And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from (L)Geba[c] as far as (M)Gezer.
