In this vision, I saw a powerful angel of the Lord standing on the earth and the sea, holding a huge trumpet. When the seventh angel blew his trumpet, the sound was like a mighty wave, echoing through the skies and the ground. Loud voices in heaven proclaimed, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever” (Revelation 11:15).

Suddenly, flashes of bright lightning lit up the sky, and the deep rumblings of thunder shook everything around me. The ground trembled violently, causing mountains to shake, and a massive hailstorm pounded the earth (Revelation 11:19). The air was filled with the fresh scent of rain mixed with the harsh smell of the storm, signaling the coming of God’s judgment.

People from all nations were furious, their angry shouts blending into a chaotic noise. But God’s anger was about to be unleashed. It was time to judge the dead, to reward His servants the prophets, the saints, and everyone who fears His name, both great and small, and to destroy those who harm the earth (Revelation 11:18). The tension was palpable, like the calm before a storm.

Then, I saw the temple of God in heaven open, and inside, I glimpsed the ark of His covenant. It shone with a brilliant, golden light, symbolizing His eternal faithfulness and promise (Revelation 11:19). The sight filled me with a profound sense of peace and awe, almost as if I could feel God’s holy presence.

Beloved, this vision shows us the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ. The final trumpet announces the end of earthly powers and the beginning of His eternal reign. As it says, “For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:52). This verse reveals a moment when everything will be transformed. Imagine the sound of that final trumpet blast, loud and clear, piercing through the air. In an instant, those who have died in Christ will rise, their bodies no longer subject to decay or death. Those who are still alive will also be changed, their mortal bodies becoming immortal, perfect, and glorified. This is the hope and promise for all who believe in Jesus Christ—a future where death is defeated, and we live forever with our Lord.

Knowing this, I urge you to stay strong in your faith. The day of the Lord is near, and everything will soon be fulfilled. Be firm and unshakable, always working enthusiastically for the Lord, because nothing you do for Him is ever useless (1 Corinthians 15:58).

Remember what Jesus said, “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book” (Revelation 22:7). Stay alert, because we don’t know the exact time of His return (Matthew 24:42).

Let this vision drive us to be more faithful and passionate in our walk with God. It reminds us of the amazing hope we have in Christ—His return and the establishment of His kingdom. God doesn’t want to punish us but to save us through Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

So, my friends, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you can stand firm against all strategies of the devil (Ephesians 6:13). May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen (Revelation 22:21).
