TRUMPET 7… (Revelation 11:15-18) “Then the seventh angel sounded, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying. “We give you thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. “And the nations were enraged, and your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward your bond-servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
Another major transition takes place right here. Islamic terrorists have assassinated the two witness of God in Jerusalem. The 200 million Islamic troops are poised for their final invasion of Israel. However, they are still so afraid of the God’s prophets, that, even in death, no one has touched their bodies for three days, and the attack is still on hold. Moslems around the world are celebrating the death of the prophets (Revelation 11:10), but they are still afraid to actually finish the attack on Israel and Jerusalem, where they can finally slaughter all of the remaining Hebrew believers gathered on Mount Zion. Suddenly however, something truly amazing takes place… the last trumpet blast!
Trumpet 7 announces the long awaited “Rapture”. Yes, the Rapture takes place here! (1Corinthians 15:52) “It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever, and we who are living will also be transformed.” (Matthew 24:31) “And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world, from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.” How do we know that the final resurrection of all believers takes place here? Who is raised… (1) the Saints, all believers as described by Paul… (2) Bond Servants, the sealed 144,000 believers from every tribe of Israel (Revelation 7:3) and… (3) the Prophets… the two witnesses (Revelation 11:10).
Before God pours out his wrath on those who remain on the earth, he must make absolutely sure that no one is left that has any possibility of repenting. (2Peter 3: 9) “The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” God’s wrath, the final Bowl Judgments, is poured out on a completely evil and unrepentant world. From now on… there is no more mercy.
