Revelation 11:15 “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
As we consider the world we live in, we know that it is known as the kingdom of darkness. From Scripture we read:
… against the rulers of the darkness of this age.” Ephesians 6:12
“in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.” Ephesians 2:2
“We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.” 1 John 5:19
“Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Matthew 4:8-9
These kingdoms oppose and resist Christ, but they will not win. Revelation 11:15 tells that there is coming a day when Christ will conquer and HE WILL REIGN. His first coming was to be crucified. His second coming will be to conquer. In His first coming, He provided REDEMPTION. In His second coming, He will REIGN and reign FOREVER AND EVER! There will be no kingdoms, much less any person, that will be able to stand against Him. Individually or corporately, make no mistake HE WILL REIGN OVER ALL FOREVER AND EVER!
What a glorious day that will be! May His kingdom come!
When I pray the Lord’s prayer that appeals “Your kingdom come,” my mind goes to Revelation 11:15. And then I add Revelation 22:20 “Even so, come, Lord Jesus!”
And yes – play and/or sing Handel’s Messiah “The Hallelujah Chorus” It is based on Rev. 11:15!
