Revelation 11:15

The Seventh Trumpet, Revelation 11:15-19. Chap. Revelation 12:7-12

15. great voices Cf. Revelation 16:17.

The kingdoms of this world&c. Read, The kingdom of the world is become our Lord's and His Christ's. The phrase "HisChrist" is founded on the O. T. phrase "the Lord's Anointed;" cf. St Luke 2:26.

he shall reign Who? Our Lord or His Christ? St John probably would have regarded the question as meaningless, though comparing Revelation 11:1 (see note on "therein") it is not likely that he used the sing, consciously to implythat Christ and His Father are One. It would be more to the point to compare "Christ the Lord" in St Luke 2:11 with "the Lord's Christ" already quoted.
