Revelation Pt 27 "The Seventh Trumpet"

In Revelation 11:14–19, the seventh trumpet sounds and heaven erupts in worship. This isn't just another judgment—it's the announcement of the end. Loud voices proclaim that the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever. The twenty-four elders fall on their faces and give thanks because God has taken His great power and begun to reign. The time has come for the dead to be judged, the faithful to be rewarded, and the destroyers of the earth to be destroyed. Then the heavenly temple opens, the ark of the covenant appears, and signs of God's presence—lightning, thunder, earthquake, and hail—fill the scene.

This teaching walks through each verse from a futurist perspective, exploring the Old Testament background, key Greek terms, and theological significance of this climactic passage. We examine how Psalm 2 and Daniel 7 find their fulfillment here, what it means that God has "taken His great power," and why the ark of the covenant appears at this moment. Whether you're teaching this passage or studying it for yourself, this lesson offers practical applications for living faithfully between the announcement of the kingdom and its full manifestation. The King is coming. The kingdom is certain. And we are called to live now as citizens of the reign that will never end.
