‘Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: “The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever”’ (Revelation 11:15 NLT).
With the sounding of the seventh trumpet, the host of heaven will shout with loud voices that the world’s kingdoms have finally come under Christ and that He will reign over them for eternity. The Lord’s Prayer is answered. God’s kingdom has come!
When will this be? No one knows the hour, but God the Father (See Matt. 24:36). Yet, the time must be near. For this old world waxes worse with each day.
Are you ready? Jesus told His disciples to watch and pray and to always be ready. He said, “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Matt. 24:44).
Therefore, let us take time during this season of Advent to meditate on this. For Advent means coming. Jesus has come as the Lamb of God. He is coming again as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Let us pray “Thy kingdom come” prayers until that Day.
PRAYER: Dear Father, we are watching and waiting, but not passively. For we feel the urgency of Your Son’s soon return. Strengthen us to work while it is still day. For the night is coming. Help us not to be discouraged. For many have lost hope. Fill us afresh with Your Spirit’s zeal. For the time is nigh. In Jesus’ name, amen.
