tation of the one true <strong>God</strong> in Jesus Christ and they<br />
still do not see it until this day, whereas the New<br />
Testament Church knew the mystery of <strong>God</strong> from<br />
the beginning (Col. 2:2-3; a. o.).<br />
At the moment when this great mystery of <strong>God</strong> is finished,<br />
the Jews will be included, as it was revealed<br />
to His servants, the prophets. When the New Testament<br />
Church is being addressed, we read about<br />
apostles and prophets (Eph. 3:5; a. o.), because the<br />
Church of Jesus Christ is built upon the foundation<br />
of the apostles and prophets (Eph. 2:20). When<br />
something is meant for the Jews, then the following<br />
especially applies, “… as it was revealed to His servants,<br />
the prophets.”<br />
After the announcement in Rev. 10:7, John had<br />
to eat the open book and the command was given,<br />
“Thou must prophesy again …” In chapter 11 the two<br />
prophets to Israel prophesy for forty-two months in<br />
Jerusalem, that is for three and a half years. Is that<br />
not plain enough?<br />
In chapters 8 and 9 the first six trumpet judgments<br />
are described, in chapter 10 the seventh trumpet is<br />
announced. The actual fulfilment follows in chapter<br />
11, from verse 15, “And the seventh angel sounded;<br />
and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The<br />
kingdom of the world is become the Kingdom of our<br />
Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever<br />
and ever.” We must respect the divine order shown<br />
to us in <strong>God</strong>’s Word. Right after the seventh trumpet<br />
sounds, we read about the wrath to come and<br />
about the time of judgement and also about the reward<br />
to be given unto, “… thy servants and prophets<br />
and to the saints …” (chapter 11:15-19).<br />
It is noteworthy that in connection with the seventh<br />
seal and the seven trumpet angels the Hebrew word
