What Does Revelation 11:15 Mean?

The seventh angel sounds his trumpet, and great voices in heaven proclaim the climax toward which all has been moving: the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. This is the announcement the whole book awaits.

Every earthly power, however proud or oppressive, finally passes into the hands of the Lord and His Anointed One. The reign of Christ is not temporary or contested but everlasting. For all who have suffered under the trampling of the nations, this is the great hope: the Lamb who was slain is the King who reigns without end. History is not drifting but arriving at His throne, and His kingdom will have no successor.
