Revelation 11:15-18

15The seventh angel made a sound with his trumpet. Then there was the sound of loud voices in heaven. They shouted: ‘Our Lord God and his Messiah now have all authority! The whole world has become their kingdom. God will rule as King for ever!’

16The 24 leaders were sitting on their thrones in front of God. Now they threw themselves down on their faces and they worshipped God.

17They said: ‘We thank you, Lord God, because you have all authority! You are alive now and you have always been alive. You have great power and now you have begun to rule the whole world!

18The nations of the world were very angry. But now it is time for you to be angry with them. Now you will judge all the people who have died. You will give good things to your servants, the prophets, and to all your people. You will bless everyone who respects and obeys you, whether they are important people or not. But you will destroy all those people who destroy the earth. The time has now come for all this to happen.’
