The world has become the kingdom of the Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever

Revelation 11:9-19
For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. They went up to heaven in a cloud while their enemies looked on.
a tenth of the city collapsed, seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake
The survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
7th trumpet sounded: The seventh trumpet announces the end.
"The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of the Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever." loud voice in heaven said.
The time has come for judging the dead and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name.
God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.
The way into God's presence is thrown open amid awesome flashes of lightning, peals of thunder and a shaking of the foundations.
Why?
Old Testament law required that evidence must be attested by at least two witnesses.
Warning against them are the anti-God forces of the satanic 'beast', with power to kill and dishonour but not to destroy or prevent their triumph.
Jesus reigns: the world is his kingdom. Praise God! The Ark of the Covenant, once hidden away in the most sacred and inaccessible part of the Temple, is now visible to all.
The world is fill with evil and reigned by sins, it will be the kingdom of the Lord and Christ.
How?
Jesus reigns, the world is his kingdom for ever and ever. The time will come for judging the dead and for rewarding his servants.
