The Kingdom Has Come - The 7th Trumpet Has Sounded!
Dear Saints:
This past Tuesday was election day in the USA. There were various positions up for election, governors, mayors, attorney generals, etc. It became undeniable that specific candidates had won based on the vote count on that election night. It is a done deal. There were great jubilations and excitements at the campaign gatherings of these winning candidates.
Yes, the candidates were declared winners, but they have not been sworn in and acting in the new position, like a governor. Most of them will be sworn-in in January of 2022. There is a time of preparation and getting the new administration ready from November to January. Between that time, the former occupants of these positions will begin packing and ushered out of, say, the governor's mansion with no more ruling power whatsoever.
So what is the point? The seventh Trumpet has sounded (Revelation 11:15), which is the declaration and beginning of Satan’s eviction, final judgment on people of the world, the complete overtake by Christ, and the restoration of God’s people and all of creation to their rightful position in the Father’s KINGDOM.
It is a done deal at the end - “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15). AMEN!
What a glorious day that will be. It is coming soon. Remember, the first six trumpets have already sounded and their resulting calamities on earth. I believe we are in the middle of the Tribulation (first three and half years of the seven years) and entering into the “Great Tribulation” as Jesus declared in Matthew 24:21. ”For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
Let’s read Revelation 11:15-19:
Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed
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!” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, 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. 18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
And that 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.” 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.”
What great rejoicing! Did you see the twenty-four elders, which represents the Saints of God, doing break-dancing? Instead, they “fell on their faces and worshipped God.” Why? Because “You have taken your power and reigned.” It is as if God had been ignoring Satan and his demons, but now their time is up. They must go to where they belong – the pit of hell.
The Saints of all ages have been praying for this final vindication. Your kingdom come. And your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Look at the list of what will happen after the sounding of the seventh Trumpet. The nations were angry because of God’s righteous judgment, for God’s wrath had finally come. The dead will rise and be judged. There will be no exception. Those who destroy the earth will be destroyed by God. This is possibly those who defiled the earth with abominations of their behavior and caused severe problems for humans.
In all the happenings, the saints, both small and great, the servants of God, the prophets, and all who labored to put the kingdom first (See Matthew 6:33), will be rewarded at the judgment seat of Christ. Friends, there will be different rewards for all God’s people. The prizes will be based on our works for Christ. Our works, however, are not the basis of our salvation which is only by the grace of God.
The above short verses of Revelation 11:15-19 is a synopsis of what we will be reading from chapters 15-22. I look forward to the details. You can always read ahead and peep into those chapters.
Lord, we greatly rejoice even now that you will finally take your power and your kingdom from the hand of Satan. His time is up, and you will deal with Satan accordingly as you have decreed. God, you will judge and recompense evil and evil people, and righteousness will be exalted and rewarded.
Thank you, Lord! You always win. Who can stand against you? No one. We believe in you and trust you forever, for you are worthy.
Saints, victory is sure and guaranteed in Christ. Be very HOPEFUL. AMEN! “Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple.”
