When the seventh angel sounds his trumpet, loud voices in heaven say 'The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever!'
The twenty-four elders fall on their faces and worship. They say 'We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were angry, but your wrath has come.'
Then the temple of God in heaven is opened, and the ark of his covenant is seen. There's flashing of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and hail. The vision of God's kingdom is cosmic. It encompasses all of creation. Judgment and redemption are accomplished.
