Revelation 11:15-17
15.
At the sound of the seventh trumpet, loud voices were heard in heaven. They said,
“Now the kingdom of this world belongs to our Lord and to his Chosen One! And he
will rule forever and ever!”
16.
Then the 24 elders, who were seated on thrones in God’s presence, knelt down
and worshipped him.
17.
They said, “Lord God All-Powerful, you are and you were, and we thank you. You
used your great power and started ruling.”
(Contemporary English Version Holy
Bible)
TOPIC:
THE MESSAGE OF THE 7TH ANGEL
The
activities of this heavenly scene are very instructive. The seventh Angel
symbolizing perfection or completeness sounds his trumpet. A verdict is
immediately passed that collapses the kingdom of men into the kingdom of the
Lord and His Christ.
This
is somewhat the translation of imperfection into perfection. With this act
completed, the entire atmosphere switches to one of worship as the twenty-four
elders leave their thrones and fall facedown before the Throne! They burst into
a song that affirms the Sovereignty and Infiniteness of Yahweh who reigns
forever and ever, world without end!
What
this presupposes is that this world and all that it offers, is gradually
winding down. The threats of those who think they can do and undo are gradually
winding down.
Soon
the Kingdom of Him who reigns forever will be established. Soon we will stand
in audience alongside the twenty-four elders in the presence of Him who
matters. And then every matter will become immaterial.
Until
then, occupy! Until then, live right! Until then, let the voice of the gospel
vibrate once more! Amen!
QUESTION:
Are you ready?
PRAYER:
How much longer, Lord? How much longer? I long to come home!
Remain
Blessed
