Read Revelation 11.14-19, In verses 14-18:The seventh trumpet. This announcement that God's kingdom has come symbolizes the final end (see 10.7). The twenty-four elders represent God's people (see 4.4), and their worship of God enacts God's rule. In verse 16: We give you thanks is the Greek word "eucharistoumen." In verse 18: This poem represents the desire for justice, rewarding your servants and destroying those who destroy the earth. In verse 19: This is pivotal, both closing the action of the throne scene and opening a new action. See the ark means John is looking into the inner sanctuary, thus the traditionally elements marking God's manifestation (see comment on 4.5). Note the similar motif of the splitting of the Temple curtain at Jesus' crucifixion (Mk 15.38 and parallel references). Comments or Questions..
