Fall of Empires (7) Seventh Trumpet

The seventh trumpet is the climax of history on earth.

The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said:
The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,
and he will reign for ever and ever.”
And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God (Rev 11:15-16).
The Kingdom of God has come on earth as it is in heaven. This is not the parousia. It is the fulfilment of Daniel’s prophecy.
Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him (Dan 7:27).
The Kingdom of God comes to fullness when authority on earth is handed to the people of God through the advance of the Gospel.
