The Seventh Trumpet

The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying:
The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah, and He will reign for ever and ever!
The 24 elders, who were seated before God on their thrones, fell face down and worshipped God, saying:
We thank You, Lord God, the Almighty, who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.
The nations were angry, but Your wrath has come for the dead to be judged and to give reward to Your servants the prophets, to the saints, and to those who fear Your name, both small and great, and the time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth.

God's sanctuary in heaven was opened, and the ark if the covenant appeared in His sanctuary. There were flashes of lightening, rumblings of thunder, an earthquake, and severe hail. Revelation 11:15-19

What a blessed task the seventh angel has. What all have longed for, what the saints have asked for, what in my heart of hearts I long for, the prayer: ' may Your Kingdom come, Your will be done', had come. 

The past 6 trumpets have heralded God's power, judgement and might. He has at last shown His vengeance. The world and its inhabitants have seen what God can do. His might and glory not only displayed in mighty acts on the earth and in the heavens, He protected the two witnesses until death and then rose them up and took them to Himself. He is God! He is undefeatable! He is great and mighty! The earth is about to experience His rulership and know what a great and mighty God He is. His people have discovered Him in His displays, they are about to experience all they have waited for.

He is worthy of all praise! The 24 elders have it right: ' You have taken Your great power and begun to reign.'

The ark of the covenant appears in the throne room. The earthy ark was a copy of the heavenly one. It represented God's presence with His people.

Along with the establishment of God's Kingdom is the power display of thunder, lightening and hail. No wonder I love storms. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
