The Seventh Trumpet

15 The seventh angel blew his trumpet. There were loud voices in heaven. They said,

“The kingdom of the world has become
    the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah.
    He will rule for ever and ever.”

16 The 24 elders were sitting on their thrones in front of God. They fell on their faces and worshiped God. 17 They said,

“Lord God who rules over all, we give thanks to you.
    You are the God who is and who was.
We give you thanks.
    That’s because you have begun to rule with your great power.
18 The nations were angry,
    and the time for your anger has come.
The time has come to judge the dead.
It is time to reward your servants the prophets
    and your people who honor you.
There is a reward for all your people,
    both great and small.
It is time to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened. Inside it the wooden chest called the ark of his covenant could be seen. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings and thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.
