Revelation 11:15-19
Contemporary English Version
The Seventh Trumpet
15 (A) At the sound of the seventh trumpet, loud voices were heard in heaven. They said,
“Now the kingdom
of this world
belongs to our Lord
and to his Chosen One!
And he will rule
forever and ever!”
16 Then the 24 elders, who were seated on thrones in God's presence, knelt down and worshiped him. 17 They said,
“Lord God All-Powerful,
you are and you were,
and we thank you.
You used your great power
and started ruling.
18 (B) When the nations got angry,
you became angry too!
Now the time has come
for the dead
to be judged.
It is time for you to reward
your servants the prophets
and all your people
who honor your name,
no matter who they are.
It is time to destroy everyone
who has destroyed
the earth.”
19 (C) The door to God's temple in heaven was then opened, and the sacred chest[a] could be seen inside the temple. I saw lightning and heard roars of thunder. The earth trembled and huge hailstones fell to the ground.

15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,(A) and there were loud voices(B) in heaven, which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,(C)
and he will reign for ever and ever.”(D)
16 And the twenty-four elders,(E) who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces(F) and worshiped God, 17 saying:
“We give thanks(G) to you, Lord God Almighty,(H)
the One who is and who was,(I)
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.(J)
18 The nations were angry,(K)
and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,(L)
and for rewarding your servants the prophets(M)
and your people who revere your name,
both great and small(N)—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then God’s temple(O) in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.(P) And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder,(Q) an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.(R)
