11:15 Then 1 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 Christ, 2
and he will reign for ever and ever.”
11:16 Then 3 the twenty-four elders who are seated on their thrones before God threw themselves down with their faces to the ground 4 and worshiped God 11:17 with these words: 5
“We give you thanks, Lord God, the All-Powerful, 6
the one who is and who was,
because you have taken your great power
and begun to reign. 7
11:18 The 8 nations 9 were enraged,
but 10 your wrath has come,
and the time has come for the dead to be judged,
and the time has come to give to your servants, 11
the prophets, their reward,
as well as to the saints
and to those who revere 12 your name, both small and great,
and the time has come 13 to destroy those who destroy 14 the earth.”
