Pastor Barry's  "Chapter & Verse"  Day 299

October 26, 2019;   Revelation 11:15;      249/260(IV);      ‘The Kingdom’

Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"

The seventh angel sounds his trumpet and heaven cried out that ‘the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom (singular) of our Lord and of His Christ.’  The seventh trumpet  represents the final events of the tribulation.  Verse 16 tells us that the 24 elders, anticipating the final events fall on their faces and worship the Lord.  There will be temporary suffering for those who become Christians and refuse the mark of the beast.  There will be judgment on the antichrist and those who follow him as seven bowls are yet to be poured out.  The bowls will physically torment those following the antichrist and cause cataclysmic events on the earth.  Again and again, it is not too late for those going through the tribulation to be saved.  One hundred forty four thousand Jewish evangelists will still be preaching.  The two witnesses described in chapter 11 will be ministering until they are raptured, and the three angels will be preaching warning those on the earth to accept Jesus and never receive the mark of the beast. Angels have never preached the gospel, but the Lord is doing everything He can to draw the lost unto Himself.  This verse teaches that the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our Lord.  Jesus Christ has won.  The devil, satan has been defeated legally by Jesus when Jesus rose from the dead.  After the battle of Armageddon, satan will be bound for one thousand years in the bottomless pit and then after that period of time, Jesus will send satan to hell for eternity. The tribulation will be intense, get saved now.
