Revelation 11:15-19
Revelation 11:15-19 NCV
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And there were loud voices in heaven, saying: “The power to rule the world now belongs to our Lord and his Christ, and he will rule forever and ever.” Then the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, bowed down on their faces and worshiped God. They said: “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, because you have used your great power and have begun to rule! The people of the world were angry, but your anger has come. The time has come to judge the dead, and to reward your servants the prophets and your holy people, all who respect you, great and small. The time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth!” Then God’s temple in heaven was opened. The Ark that holds the agreement God gave to his people could be seen in his temple. Then there were flashes of lightning, noises, thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.
