The last of the seven trumpet angels sounded in Revelation 11:15
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.
When the seventh trumpet begins to sound, the mystery of God should be finished. The kingdoms of this world are now become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ and He shall reign forever and ever.
In I Corinthians 15:51-52 Paul said
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Paul says this occurs at the last trump, which the Bible tells us is the seventh trump. 1 Corinthians 15 and Revelation 11 are referring to the exact same thing. For the trumpet shall sound, the dead shall be raised, and we shall be changed. It is sometimes taught that, at the rapture, all of us will suddenly disappear. But that is not what the Bible says. It says we will be changed in a moment and in the twinkling of an eye. When Jesus Christ was caught up, He was seen leaving the earth. Just as they were able to watch Jesus go, so will people be able to watch the church go. Romans 8:11 tell us
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Jesus Reigns
Then, in Revelation 11:16, the reign of Jesus begins.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty which art, and wast and art to come; hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
This is the unveiling of Jesus Christ. Everybody will know when Jesus has returned. Every eye shall behold Him. We will magnify His name and worship Him throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity.
Daniel 2:44 records the event this way: “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.”

I am currently doing the Endtime bible studies at home and I also attend the weekly Endtime class held at my church. One question I have that has been on my mind is where will the antichrist come from. I have heard it said that he is going to come from Europe. Does this mean he is going to be born in that part of the country or could it also mean that he is going to come from the European Union. It would be easy to nominate Obama into that position once the war that kills 2.2 billion people occurs. Many leaders from that part of the country trust him and would accept him as their leader especially since he is from the United States, a very powerful nation. He would not officially be European but he would come up out of the EU and thus could fulfill the prophecy.
I am a little confused with your explanation when I read Luke 17. Jesus is speaking of this very thing about when the Kingdom of God will come and the Son of Man is revealed and it says that it does not come with observation because it is with in you. (the greek means in the middle of your soul)
Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32Remember Lot’s wife.
33Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
I love you Jesus Christ.
At the sound of the seventh trumpet, the kingdom of this world has now become the kingdom of Christ. Interesting, Jesus will be become King of kings and Lord of lords during thse 1000 years and the blood washed saints will rule with him who had gone through the tribulation period(Rev 20:4-6)..does this picture current cerebration of the Feast of Tarbanacle, certainly (Zach 14:16).
But what does this have to do with the end of human government now?
The only government worth trusting is God’s His will reign forever.
Wow…I had not read this before…I feel I am reading the same words God has inspired into my thoughts while reading about the seventh trumpet. By one spirit are we all baptized into Christ…love the comfirmation of His Word. I do want to say…as you also teach Bro. Baxter…the trumpets alarm sounds for a period of time before completing the alarm sound. Rev. 10:1-11…vrs. 7 “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me AGAIN, and said, GO AND TAKE THE LITTLE BOOK, WHICH IS OPEN IN THE HAND OF THE ANGEL WHICH STANDETH UPON THE SEA AND UPON THE EARTH. (release time of the whole roll of thunders-Daniel and Ezekiel sees the same last days events, for the time of the end to be proclaimed…that time will be no longer…REPENT…salvation/judgment messages spoken in the word world wide witnessing). And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, TAKE IT AND EAT IT UP; AND IT SHALL MAKE THY BELLY BITTER, BUT IT SHALL BE IN THY MOUTH SWEET AS HONEY. (the Church world wide will take this little book of unveiling-revelation and proclaim..with such a burden) And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.” Oh, what a day of Daniel 9:20-24…to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for inquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.” “Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince (Jesus=Jehovah/Salvation came in the New Testment-New Covanant to build a Church which is New Jerusalem of all nations, kindred, peoples, and tongues that will obey and follow HIS WORD given Acts 2 is where Jerusalem above began the New Testment..Messiah the Prince came over two thousand years ago to add unto the Old Testament saints who obeyed HIM (Rev.21 makes up heaven…the bride of the groom is Old & New Testament saints of the ages called Holy New Jerusalem…God so loves the world, and wants His creation to KNOW HIM…the Messiah the Prince…to restore TRUTH, rebuild each soul as God’s stones of anointing with His Salvation and Spirit to abide in them)….the gentiles meaning worldly ones who reject the Savior will come with a lower case prince and fight the true saints in the last days, but as the power of the holy people are scattered…persecutions will spread the Word through them, as GOD is getting His gospel unto all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then the trumpet sound will end.
Help I am confused. Is Obama on Gods side? I am confused by all the media, lies, bad politics. please direct me to what Gods living word,( the Bible) is saying when both canidates are not following Gods Word
Vicki, just to add… we, the body of Christ, are actually “Israel” because the Jews rejected Jesus as their Messiah. See The Church at Philadelphia and the Key of David (Revelation 3:7-13), but still we must pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I just wanted to clear that up for you. : )
Vicki, regarding Obama, not he is not on God’s side, in my opinion. He does not stand up for God’s Word; what a Christian values (i.e., sanctify of life) for instance. He doesn’t appear to want to help Israel and stand with them against Israel’s enemies. The Jewish people are the Lord’s chosen people and as believers in God, we must “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” Psalm 122:6. Romney is a mormon and Ryan is a Catholic, and they share Christian ‘values’. We must put God back in the White House. The hedge of protection has been lifted off of the United States, and we are no longer a blessed nation. Pray that God would put the right person in the White House and stay true to your good Christian values. God Bless you.
All I would love to add is, that I wait everyday to see our lord return..
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding.
just stay ready and filled with his spirit that raises us up jesus help us all i believe sooner than alot think, pray for are loved ones
