When the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, voices from heaven declared that the Lord God and his Messiah now govern everyone, and the elders declared that the time had come for God’s final judgment. With the heavenly sanctuary open, lightning flashed, thunder reverberated, the earth shook, and large hail fell.

Revelation 11:15-19

15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. Angels in heaven shouted loudly, “Our Lord God and the Messiah whom he has appointed can now govern everyone in [MTY] the world, and they will continue to rule people forever!” 16 The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence ◄prostrated themselves/bowed down low► and worshipped him. 17 They said:

Lord God, you are the Almighty One!

You are the one who exists now!

You are the one who has always existed!

We thank you that you have defeated by your power everyone who has rebelled against you,

and you now rule over everyone in the world.

18 The unbelieving people of [MTY] the nations were raging at you.

As a result you have become very angry with them.

You have decided that this is the appropriate time for you to judge all the dead people.

You have also decided that it is the time for you to reward all your servants,

both the prophets and the rest of your people who reverence you [MTY],

whether they were considered socially significant/important or socially insignificant/unimportant.

It is time for you to reward all of them!

You have also decided it is the time for you to destroy the people who are destroying others on the earth.

19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened {was open} and I saw in the temple the sacred box/chest that contains God’s commandments. Lightning was flashing, it was thundering and rumbling, the earth shook, and large hailstones fell from the sky.
