III. The Joyful Utterances
Philip Edgcumbe Hughes on Revelation 11:15-19: “The last of the trumpet blasts presages the clearing of the way for final judgment and the Lord’s everlasting rule in the new heaven and earth. The loud voices in heaven herald the momentous consummation of all God’s purposes for mankind and the world, as the eschaton, the Day of the Lord, the last day of the last days, is reached and the true king and lord of all is conclusively shown to be the Lord and his Christ and not Satan, whose arrogant clutching at the kingship of the world is revealed as totally futile and worthless. Though the absolute sovereignty of Almighty God was never insecure, the world went after a false god and a false king (cf. Mt. 4:8-10; Jn. 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 2 Cor. 4:4); but now, redeemed by the incarnate Son, the world is brought back to its true allegiance. It is in this sense that the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of the true God.”
