The first thing we want to look at is in verse 17: "It Is Done". It is all over...it is finished...it is complete.
In Revelation 11:15 we read "the Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord, and his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." Now we see "It Is Done".
Next, look at verses 18 through 21 and notice the earthquakes, the thunderings, the lightenings and the great hail. Suppose we now put all this information down in visuals, recalling figures 7 and 8 and adding figure 9. Now we find that the times all converge into one time, and that each is upheld by the other...no secret coming and no mention of multiple comings. Observe...
Look closely now, and consider. Remember in the beginning, about God's immutable laws (first is first and last is last) we determined that last is last and there is none after it. See the events depicted in the visuals, first there is the Last Day, next, there is the Last Trump, and then the Last Vial. There will be no more days, there will be no more trumps, and there will be no more vials. It is apparent then, according to all the scriptures, that these events take place at the one and only Last Time.
There was silence in Heaven
The Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord.
There were Voices
IT IS DONE
With all these scriptures before us, let's see if there are any contradictions, or if the rest of the Bible points to the same teaching.
