We have been covering one of the most important emerging issues of all time—the sounding of the seventh trumpet in Revelation. “Our God Reigns”—this is the preaching of the Gospel of the kingdom. Even though much from this prophecy has yet to be fulfilled, according to the unfolding timeline, we are coming to the time for this last message to go forth across the earth. What we do not know is how long this will take to unfold or be completed.

         Last week we covered how the basis of this Gospel is the King Himself. We are not...

         This week, we will elaborate more on the proclamation of the Gospel of the kingdom referred to in Revelation 11:15-17 as the “seventh trumpet,” or message, to go forth.

         The seventh worldwide message to go forth is the greatest of all—the King is taking up His kingdom and will now rule over the earth. “Gospel” means “good news,” and the earth has never heard better news than this. Many have claimed to proclaim this message but have fallen short of doing so as Jesus and the first apostles proclaimed it, and they almost all do it the same...

         This week we come to one of the most wonderful and exciting declarations in the Bible:

         "We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun...

         This week, we come to Revelation 11:3-6 and two of the most interesting characters in the Bible:

         "And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

         These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

         And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

         These have the power...

         “Then there was given me a measuring rod like a staff; and someone said, "Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it.

         “Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months” (Revelation 11:1-2).

         Last week we addressed what it could mean to measure the altar—or the cross—and the people who worshipped in the temple. This week we will examine what it...
