The Seventh Trumpet: Christ’s Reign Foreseen

15 Then the (A)seventh angel sounded; and there were (B)loud voices in heaven, saying,

(C)The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of (D)His [a]Christ; and (E)He will reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders, who (F)sit on their thrones before God, (G)fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying,

“We give You thanks, (H)Lord God, the Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to (I)reign. 18 And (J)the nations were enraged, and (K)Your wrath came, and (L)the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to [b]reward Your (M)bond-servants the prophets and the [c]saints and those who fear Your name, (N)the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

19 And (O)the [d]temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and (P)the ark of His covenant appeared in His [e]temple, and there were flashes of (Q)lightning and sounds and peals of thunder, and an earthquake, and a (R)great [f]hailstorm.

The Blowing of the Seventh Trumpet

15 And the seventh angel blew the trumpet, and there was a loud voice in heaven saying,

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord
    and of his Christ,
and he will reign forever and ever[a].”

16 And the twenty-four elders who are seated on their thrones before God fell down on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying,

“We give thanks to you, Lord God All-Powerful,
    the one who is and the one who was,
because you have taken your great power
    and have begun to reign.
18 And the nations were angry,
    and your wrath has come,
    and the time for the dead to be judged,
and to give their[b] reward to your slaves the prophets
    and to the saints and to the ones who fear your name,
    the small and the great,
and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

19 And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant appeared in his temple, and there were lightnings and sounds and thunders and an earthquake and large hail.[c]
