The seventh trumpet ends in climactic fashion as it starts a vision of worship -- all of heaven worships the LORD. The twenty four elders, all the voices of heaven, etc., join in to praise the Lord.
One interesting thing is the mention of the ark in the temple surrounded by acts of power both great and terrible.
The seven trumpet simple ends this phase of the book and open the door to a very different vision.
Next: The Woman, the Dragon and the Man Child.
The mention of the ark in the temple is indeed interesting. I remember reading a commentary years ago which said the twenty four elders were actually the church, have you read or know of anything about that?
ReplyDeleteNoy really -- the 24 could be anything, even real people.
