“And 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.”
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign forever and ever' — the seventh trumpet's sound triggers the eschatological proclamation (phone megale): the world's kingdom (basileia tou kosmou) becomes God's and Christ's (basileia tou kyriou...tou Christou). The Messiah's eternal reign (eis tous aiōnas tōn aiōnōn) is established; this is the central declaration of Revelation's purpose.
