Revelation 11:15-19
Open in the reader →15And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 19And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
2 · UNDERSTAND
Revelation contains roughly four hundred allusions to the Old Testament without a single formal quotation — the book is woven from Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Zechariah and Exodus. The "Son of Man" coming with the clouds is Daniel 7; the living creatures are Ezekiel 1; the plagues are Exodus. This teaches the method: biblical fulfilment is rarely a mechanical matching of dates, it is the deepening of patterns that lead to Christ. The seventh trumpet announces what is already guaranteed: "the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord". Spoken in the past tense, about the future — because in God it is already settled.
