The Seventh Trumpet

Then the seventh angel sounded [his] trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven:

“The kingdom of the world

has become [the kingdom][fn] of our Lord

and of His Christ,

and He will reign vvv vvv forever [and] ever.”

16 

And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God[fn] fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying:

“We give thanks to You, O Lord God Almighty,

the [One who] is and who was,[fn]

because You have taken Your great power

and have begun to reign.

18 

The nations were enraged,[fn]

and Your wrath has come.

The time [has come] to judge the dead[fn]

and vvv vvv to reward Your servants the prophets,

as well as the saints and those who fear Your name,

[both] small and great—

and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

19 

Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of [the] covenant of the Lord[fn] appeared in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder,[fn] and a great hailstorm. 12
