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.”

19 Then (K)the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of [d]His covenant was seen in His temple. And (L)there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, (M)and great hail.
