The Seventh Angel
The Seventh Angel
“The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe comes quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever,” Revelation 11:14-15.
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet and declared the end of time and the end of the mystery of God. The seventh angel by the sound of his trumpet also declared the fulfillment of Daniel’s Prophecy:
“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever,” Daniel 2:44.
The governments of the world will become the seat of power for Christ who shall reign forever. In other words, the sounding of the Seventh Angel will usher in a one-government world, the Kingdom of Christ. The Kingdom of Christ shall destroy all the other governments in the world and rule alone, supreme forever. Recall, “that there should be time no longer”.
“And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned,” Revelation 11:16-17.
The Seventh Angel Declares - Judgment of the Dead
Let’s rewind to Revelation Chapter Four. “Before” whom are the Twenty-Four Elders sitting? They are sitting before the Son of Man, Revelation 4:4. Observe that they called him, “God” and “LORD GOD” the same LORD GOD from Genesis and the creation. Who is the Son of Man? Jesus Christ of course, therefore, Jesus Christ is God, the LORD GOD!
The Seventh Angel reveals, to us through the worship of the Twenty-Four Elders, that Jesus Christ is indeed God.
“And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth,” Revelation 11:18.
The Seventh Angel with this statement brushed aside the notion, that death is the end of everything. The Seventh Angel declares this is the judgment of the dead. The dead shall be judged and rewarded; all Believers of Jesus Christ and all unbelievers shall receive their rewards. The Seventh Angel declares unbelievers shall be “angry” because their reward shall be the “wrath” of Christ Jesus because they “destroyed the earth.”
The seventh angel reveals the ark of testament in the temple of God in heaven
“And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail,” Revelation 11:19.
I said it before, now the Seventh Angel confirms my words, there is a Temple of God in heaven. Moses built the tabernacle from heaven’s blueprint. Solomon built the temple of God from heaven’s template too. Therefore, the Temple of Israel was similar to the Temple in heaven.
Finally, the Seventh Angel allows us to see, through Scriptures, the ark in heaven in the Temple of God. The Lord met with Moses and spoke to him from the ark of His testament, from the mercy seat. He judged Israel from between the cherubims and He gave them instructions through Moses from the mercy seat. Now, the Seventh Angel wants us to know that the Lord still speaks from the ark of His testament. He was speaking from the mercy seat again because there were “voices” coming from the ark of the testimony in heaven.
