The kingdom of the world is become the kingdomof our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever[157].
The Victory Chorus
16 And the four and twenty elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped[158] God, 17 saying,
We give thee thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art and who wast; because thou hast taken thy great power, and didst reign. 18 And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and the time to give their reward to thy servants[159] the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth.
Tokens of Judgment
19 And there was opened the temple[160] of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his temple[161] the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
