The Seventh Trumpet of Revelation, Pt 2

Jesus came in His first advent declaring that the Kingdom of God was at
hand. Yet at the end of His earthly ministry the disciples were still asking if that kingdom was to
finally be unveiled. For the last two millennia we still wait for that event. In our passage today
we see it finally being declared as taking place. This subject is filled with much misunderstanding
and opinion. John describes that critical moment in history where the kingdom of this age is
swallowed up into the Kingdom of God. This is seen in a thumbnail sense anticipating a later
description that fills in the details.
