14. The second woe has passed, but the third is coming soon.
15. Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. There were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world now belongs to our Lord and to his Anointed, and he will reign forever and ever.”
16. The twenty-four elders who sat on their thrones before God prostrated themselves and worshiped God
17. and said:“We give thanks to you, Lord God almighty,who are and who were.For you have assumed your great powerand have established your reign.

19. Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a violent hailstorm.
