The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever."

Why This Matters
Nebuchadnezzar's dream revealed a succession of earthly empires, all crushed by a kingdom set up by God that would never be destroyed. Revelation shows the final fulfillment: every kingdom of this world becomes Christ's eternal domain. Human empires rise and crumble, but the kingdom God established through Jesus endures forever—unshakeable and unending.
Reflection
King eternal, let the promise in Daniel 2:44 fulfilled in Revelation 11:15 stir in me longing for Your return and the restoration of all things.
