Notes

Revelation 11:19

This verse dramatically concludes the first half of Revelation and connects to the second half.
In this scene, the temple and the ark symbolize God's presence. The earthly ark was a copy of the heavenly ark's design (see Exodus 25:40; Hebrews 8:5).

Revelation 11:15–19

The seventh trumpet, also called the third woe (Revelation 11:14; see also 9:12), shows a scene of final judgment and the eternal kingdom. Like in Revelation 7:9–17, this scene offers a dramatic view of the ultimate Christian hope with God. Amidst this picture of judgment, the reader remembers eternity with God.
