[§179] Rev 11:15-19: John Introduces the Third Woe [Seventh Trumpet Angel]

This podcast provides an overview of John's introduction to the Third Woe found in Revelation 11:15-19. These verses come after an angel announces in Revelation 11:14 that the Second Woe is past and the Third Woe comes quickly with the sounding of the seventh trumpet angel. Instead of describing the final plagues of the Third Woe, John's introduction focuses on the establishment of Christ's earthly kingdom during the Third Woe and his reign as the Lord God Almighty. The visionary introduction to the Third Woe also describes the praise and worship of exaltation-worthy saints on the one hand, and the wicked people and nations angered by the establishment of Christ's millennial kingdom. This introduction comes just before the flashback chapters in Revelation 12 to 14 that describe events going back to the premortal existence and a chronological account of Satan's wars against Christ from premortality through the Second Coming.
