Revelation 11:15-19

New International Version

The Seventh Trumpet

¹⁵The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,^(A) and there were loud voices^(B) in heaven, which said:

“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,^(C)
and he will reign for ever and ever.”^(D)

¹⁶And the twenty-four elders,^(E) who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces^(F) and worshiped God, ¹⁷saying:

“We give thanks^(G) to you, Lord God Almighty,^(H)
    the One who is and who was,^(I)
because you have taken your great power
    and have begun to reign.^(J)
¹⁸The nations were angry,^(K)
    and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,^(L)
    and for rewarding your servants the prophets^(M)
and your people who revere your name,
    both great and small^(N)—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

¹⁹Then God’s temple^(O) in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.^(P) And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder,^(Q) an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.^(R)

John 3:16-21

New International Version

¹⁶For God so loved^(A) the world that he gave^(B) his one and only Son,^(C) that whoever believes^(D) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.^(E) ¹⁷For God did not send his Son into the world^(F) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.^(G) ¹⁸Whoever believes in him is not condemned,^(H) but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.^(I) ¹⁹This is the verdict: Light^(J) has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.^(K) ²⁰Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.^(L) ²¹But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
