Significance

The seventh trumpet announces the consummation of what Daniel saw in figure: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever." Nebuchadnezzar's dream foretold a divinely cut stone that would "shatter all these kingdoms" and itself "stand forever" (Dan 2:44), an everlasting kingdom set up by the God of heaven "in the days of those kings." John shows this promise fulfilled — the verbal echo "forever and ever" answers Daniel's "stand forever," and the displacement of all worldly empire by God's reign matches the stone's crushing of the statue. This is promise-fulfillment along the Kingdom trajectory, not bare typology: the prophetic word given to Daniel arrives at its appointed term. The escalation is decisive — the stone kingdom is now named as the kingdom of "His Christ," the slain Lamb who reigns. The telos is the universal, unchallenged sovereignty of Christ, in whom the saints find their everlasting and joyful inheritance.
