Revelation 11:15 Romans 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 for ever and ever. In this verse, and the verses following, to the end of this chapter, are contained, first, a publication of glad tidings, by a great voice from heaven upon the seventh angel’ s beginning to sound, Saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever. Secondly, a doxology and thanksgiving unto Christ by the twenty four elders, for taking unto him his great power, and setting up his kingly government. \ Thirdly, the effects of God’ s setting up Christ’ s Kingdom on earth. \ And the nations were angry. The heathen rage; the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord, and against his Christ \ etc. XXXX LXX XXXX Amplified, first, by the wrath of Christ, against his and his people enemies, unto their destruction \ and thy wrath is come. Secondly, the time of the dead, that they should be judged, all the saints rewarded, and the wicked destroyed. \ Thirdly, and the temple of God opened. \ And the ark of his covenant seen in his temple: whence proceedeth a dreadful and terrible tempest of lightnings, thunders and voices. \ And the seventh angel sounded. This seventh angel is the angel that is to sound the third woe trumpet \ which third woe will come quickly after the second woe is past; to wit, the seven vials full of the seven last plagues. \ For in them is filled up the wrath of God \ to be poured out without mixture (of any mercy) into the cup of his indignation; which wine of the wrath of God, mystical Babylon, and every one that (then) shall worship the beast, and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, shall drink, and shall be tormented forever and ever. \ As it was dangerous to worship the beast or his image when HE was rising; so it will be damnable to worship him or his image, when HE is falling. \ And there were great voices in heaven, saying This public declaration of the glad tidings, our Lord Jesus Christ revealed to his servant John, by way of anticipation for the comfort of his churches, ministers, and saints. \ By voices from heaven is meant his ministering spirits sent forth by Christ to minister for them, who shall be heirs of salvation \ so that the doctrine of Christ’ s Kingdom hath heaven’ s authority for it, touching which, here are two principal things asserted by these voices from heaven; viz. two heavenly truths. First, that the kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of Christ. Secondly, that HE shall reign forever and ever. The kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. Are, that is, shall be, when the seventh angel soundeth; as \ Babylon is fallen, that is, shall fall when God judgeth her. \ By the kingdom of this world we may understand, first, the Kingdom of David \ to wit, Judah, and Israel. \ And thou O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the Daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, EVEN THE FIRST . The Kingdom shall come to the daughters of Jerusalem \ and the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion, from henceforth even forever. Read Zechariah 12:7. Secondly, the kingdoms of the Roman Caesars, which the fourth monarchy \ And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed, etc., that is, the fifth monarchy; viz. the Kingdom of Christ. Lastly, all the kingdoms on the earth \ And there was given unto him dominion and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations and languages, should serve him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his Kingdom, that which shall not be destroyed \ And the Lord shall be King over all the earth: In that day (viz. one day known to JEHOVAH) \ shall there be one Lord, and his name one \ and. \ These prophecies have not yet been fulfilled, but they shall be fulfilled to a tittle. \ The kingdoms of this world shall become the Kingdom of Christ. First, by preaching the gospel of the kingdom in all the world, for a witness to all nations. \ Secondly, by pouring out the spirit upon all flesh. \ By which dispensation of grace, the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. \ And in his temple (when that is opened) \ shall every one speak of his Glory \ The Lord sitteth King forever. And then will the saints bless him. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power, to make known to the sons of men -the glorious majesty of his Kingdom. \ Thirdly, by breaking the kingdoms of this world to pieces \ Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands. It shall break in pieces, and consume all these kingdoms, etc. And that after this manner; viz. first, God will make Jerusalem (that is, his church and people) a burdensome stone for all people; all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces. \ Secondly, the beast and the kings of the earth, and their armies, will fall upon the chief cornerstone (which God hath laid in Zion) \ namely, Jesus Christ \ And afterwards that stone will fall upon them, by whom they shall be broken in pieces, and grinded to powder. Read and compare those scriptures for proof hereof. \ Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? This is the Lord’ s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes. Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken;  but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Thirdly, the Lord Jesus Christ will then put down all rule, and all authority, and power (that are enemies to his kingdom and kingly power) for he must reign till he have put all enemies under his feet (1 Corinthians 15:24-25 and Lu 19:27 and Isaiah 60:12). Therefore King David prophesying of those kings of the earth, and rulers, that take counsel together against the Lord, and his Christ \ doth thus exhort them \ Be wise now therefore, O ye Kings, be instructed, ye Judges of the earth:- Kiss the SON, least HE be angry, and ye perish, etc.
