The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. 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. 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; because thou 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 thou 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. (Revelation 11:14-19)
Do you think that this describes the second coming of Christ?
What’s fascinating about that warning about a third woe is it never comes.
Only 2 woes happen..
The third woe is replaced with His reign.
Like it’s cut short from 3 down to 2.
For all:
There are 28 Judgements to break down:
7 Seals
7 Trumpets
7 Bowls
7 Thunders (God’s Ace up His Sleeve)
One every 3 months during Daniel’s 70th week - what a horrific time to be alive for the lost.
——>It is yet future:
And this is the way it ends (since you mentioned this verse):
Revelation 11:19And 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.
Ark of his testament. The ark in the typical sanctuary was the depository of the Ten Commandments, God’s immutable moral law for all men in all ages. No believer in God in Jewish times could think of the ark without becoming immediately conscious of the Ten Commandments. John’s vision of the ark above argues eloquently that in earth’s last hours God’s great moral law is to be central in the thinking and in the lives of all who seek to serve God in spirit and in truth (see on chs. 12:17; 14:12; cf. GC 433).
Lightnings, and voices, and thunderings. As under the seventh plague (ch. 16:18).
An earthquake. As under the seventh plague (ch. 16:18, 19, cf. on ch. 11:13).
Great hail. As under the seventh plague (ch. 16:21).
