12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies watched them.
13 At that same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand men were killed in the earthquake, and the remnant were frightened and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past. Listen, the third woe is coming quickly.
15 The seventh angel sounded, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying: “The kingdoms of the world have becomethe kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ,and He shall reign forever and ever.”
16 And the twenty-four elders, who sat before God on their thrones, fell on their faces and worshipped God,
17 saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,who is and was and who is to come,because You have taken Your great powerand begun to reign.
18 The nations were angry,and Your wrath has come,and the time has come for the dead to be judged,and to reward Your servants the prophetsand the saints and those who fear Your name,small and great,and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
