Revelation 11:15
The Seventh Trumpet
(Rev 11:15-18 NKJV) 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!"
(Gen 3:15 NKJV) And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel."
The Devils Rule is about to End!
(2 Cor 4:4 KJV) 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.
God is Going to take back the world!
The Seventh Angel Sounds
(Rev 11:15) 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!"
Seven (completion) has been reached again!
(Rev 11:16 NKJV) And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,
There is worship in heaven and their is a position of great humility – fell on their faces
Rev 11:17 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.
Rev 1:4-5 NKJV) John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, (apparently God the Father) and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, (apparently the Holy Spirit) {5} and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. (No need of an “apparently” here as Hi is clearly identified) To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
(Rev 11:18 NKJV) The nations were angry, and (1) Your wrath has come, (2) And the time of the dead, (a) that they should be judged, And that (b) 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."
Rev 11:18 The nations were angry --
and (1) Your wrath has come,
(2) And the time of the dead --
that they should be judged, And that
(a) You should reward Your servants
the prophets and (these are not exclusive groups.)
the saints, And
those who fear Your name,
small and
great,
(b) And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
What Time Is It?
§ There is no clock on the wall!
§ Not all the details are here.
§ From the next verse, there is judgment yet to come.
Rev 11:19 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 temple of God was opened in heaven
and the ark of His covenant was seen in His
temple.” – Some see this as indicating that God is about to deal with the people of Israel.
And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail. – Some take this to be indicative of judgment that is about to take place.
We could wish for more details, but the details come in the chapters that follow.
A great parenthetical statement:
Details of God's wrath will resume in Chapter 16
A brief History of Good and Evil
Rev 12:1 "Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun. with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
Genesis 37:9 Then he [that is Joseph] dreamedstill another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, "Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.[Joseph was the 12th star]" 10 So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?"
The parts in Revelation 12:1, fit the children of
Israel exactly as far as this dream is concerned.
(Rev 12:2-3 NKJV) Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. {3} And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
Then being with child, -- I take this to be Christ
a great, fiery red dragon having seven head - and
ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
-- I take this to be be devil, but with some new
details which will be used again later in our study.
(Rev 12:4 NKJV) His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
This happened, of course, as the devil used Herod to try to destroy Jesus at His birth.
Rev 12:5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was
caught up to God and His throne.
(Psa 2:7-9 NKJV) "I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. {8} Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. {9} You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.'"
And her Child was caught up to God and His throne." -- Obviously, this happened to Christ.
(Rev 12:6 NKJV) Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
If we have interpreted this properly, it would seem to indicate that God has made provision for escape for some of the children of Israel during the hard times that are to come on the earth.
One thousand two hundred and sixty days. – The same length of time we have seen before.
What is the message?
The time of reward and punishment is coming!
God can provide for protection for His people.
