The Seventh Trumpet of Revelation, Pt 2

Jesus came in His first advent declaring that the Kingdom of God was at hand. Yet at the end of His earthly ministry the disciples were still asking if that kingdom was to finally be unveiled. For the last two millennia we still wait for that event. In our passage today we see it finally being declared as taking place. This subject is filled with much misunderstanding and opinion. John describes that critical moment in history where the kingdom of this age is swallowed up into the Kingdom of God. This is seen in a thumbnail sense anticipating a later description that fills in the details.
