God's Judgment: 7th Trumpet

The Day of the Lord concludes with the sounding of the seventh trumpet. The tragedy of the final woe comes quickly because mankind would not repent of their sins and humble themselves under the mighty hand of God. The trumpet of the seventh angel sounds, declaring that the kingdom of this world has finally been turned over to the rightful heir, Jesus Christ, and He begins to rule. The triumph of Christ's reign is celebrated by the twenty-four elders as they fall on their faces and worship Him with an overflow of thanksgiving. And the trembling of all mankind is evident as Christ's judgment reveals the reward of the righteous and the destruction of the unrighteous - all true judgment proceeds out of the real temple in heaven, where Christ offered His blood once for all upon the mercy seat upon the ark of the covenant.
