REVELATION 11: 15-19
15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud
voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the
kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and
ever!"
16 And the
twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and
worshiped God,
17 saying: " We give You thanks, O Lord God
Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken
Your great power and reigned.
18 The
nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the 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 the temple of God was opened in heaven, and
the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings,
noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
Then the seventh angel sounded
Now last
and final trumpet was blew by the seventh angel. Because the last 7 seal’s
wrath, 7 thunder’s wrath and 6 trumpet’s wrath the people was not ready to
repent themselves. They are enjoying the anti-christ ruling and they are very
much satisfied under his government. So there is no other possibilities to our
God, He allowed to blow the 7th trumpet followed by the 7th trumpet
there are many incidents were happened all those things we will see the
following sessions.
And there were loud voices in
heaven
Here
apostle John is writing “loud voices” that means John head many people’s,
angle’s, 24 elder’s voice. What the voice is saying ?
"The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our
Lord and of His Christ,
This part of the verse only changing
the whole world’s history. In the beginning when God created the world for good
things but satan got the dominion over the world through deceiving Adam and
Eve. From that time on words till the time the world is under the satan’s rule.
There are many scripture references we can see from bible this world is under
the satan’s ruling.
Most familiear verse Matthew 4:8-11 our Lord
Yesuah tested by satan during His fasting time and Isaiah 14:12, Job 1:6…
2
Corinthians 4:4 whose minds the
god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the
gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.(NKJV)
In whom the god of this world hath
blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (KJV)
Satan got
power of air
Wherein in time past ye walked according to
the course of this world, according to the prince
of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience: (KJV)
Ephesians
2:2 in which you once walked
according to the course of this world, according
to the prince of the power of the air, the
spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, (NKJV)
Who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into
the kingdom of his dear Son:
Colossians 1:13 He has delivered us from the power of
darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, lie in the "power of the evil one" (1 John 5:19), and are in
bondage to Satan (Ephesians 2:2).
All above
references are stating that this world is rule by satan. When it is redeemed
completely from satan’s hand after the seventh trumpet blew by the seventh
angle our God almighty got back from his hand and He start to rule the world.
That only we can see in this verse "The
kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His
Christ,
He shall reign forever and ever
God will
reign forever is fore told many times in the bible Isaiah, Daniel and Zechariah
still many people from the bible was told. Now we see some of the reference we
will see now. Every time we are praying in our Lord’s Prayer “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in the
heaven”
Daniel
7:27 Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the
whole heaven, Shall be given to the
people, the saints of the Most High. His
kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and
obey Him.'
Zechariah 14:9 And
the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be --- "
The LORD is one," And His name one.
Isaiah
9:7 Of the increase of His
government and peace There will be no end,…
Daniel
2:44 And in the days of these
kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed;
and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms, and it shall
stand forever.
Daniel
4:3 How great are His signs, And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting
kingdom, And His dominion is from generation to generation.
Daniel
6:26 I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must
tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, And
steadfast forever; His kingdom is the
one which shall not be destroyed, And
His dominion shall endure to the end.
Daniel
7:14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples,
nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting
dominion, Which shall not pass away, And
His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.
16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God
on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,
The 24 elders' (4:10; 5:8, 14; 7:13-14) response to this
announcement was to fall prostrate before God. Worship in heaven contrasts with
rebellion on earth.
17 saying: " We give You thanks, O Lord God
Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken
Your great power and reigned.
" We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The elders start to praise Lord God Almighty because He is going to
redeem the world from the satan and evil doers.
The One who is and who was and who is to come,
This
porstion of the verse we already discussed in the Rev. 1:8. Is you want say in
one word our Lord and savior is “everlasting” God for yesterday, today and
tomorrow. He is the alpha and omega, first and last.
Because You have taken Your great power and reigned
Here the
elders declaring that the everlasting our Lord Jesus taken His power and start
to reigning the world.
18 aThe
nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, bAnd the time of the
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, cAnd
should destroy those who destroy the earth."
The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come
Who rebelled against the Lord? And the Lord’s wrath going to pour up on
them. This we already saw in 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 thunders and one 7 blows of
wrath is pending we will going to see in the following sessions
This verse
talking about the judgment. This verse contains three parts (a, b & c)
firsta and lastc part of the verse talking about the
judgment for the wicked people and the secondb part of the verse is
talking about the reward for the dead and servants of God and saints of God and
who are all fear the Lord and His commandments up to their end (Mat. 24:13 But he who endures to the end shall be
saved.) of life they all revising the rewards form the
God and will with Him forever and ever
19 Then
the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in
His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and
great hail.
The
inmost part of it. Was opened in heaven - And hereby is opened a new scene of
the most momentous things, that we may see how the contents of the seventh
trumpet are executed; and, notwithstanding the greatest opposition,
(particularly by the third woe,) brought to a glorious conclusion. And the ark
of the covenant was seen in his temple - The ark of the covenant which was made
by Moses was not in the second temple, being probably burnt with the first
temple by the Chaldeans. But here is the heavenly ark of the everlasting
covenant, the shadow of which was under the Old Testament, Hebrews 9:4.
The inhabitants of heaven saw the ark before: St. John also saw it now; for a
testimony, that what God had promised, should be fulfilled to the uttermost.
And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and
great hail - The very same there are, and in the same order, when the seventh
angel has poured out his phial; Revelation 16:17-
21: one place answers the other. What the trumpethere denounces in heaven, is
there executed by the phial upon earth. First it is shown what will be done;
and afterwards it is done.
