Jesus gives John this marvelous prophecy of the end times for the benefit of all people now and in the future. God is still willing to show grace and mercy to the people left on earth during the Tribulation so that they can come and put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is crucial to remember that Jesus' love for us is holy, a love that necessitates dealing with sin on God's terms. This second interlude of the tribulation will be introduced by another mighty angel. It is through this angel that God will pause ?he Tribulation between the sounding of the sixth and seventh trumpets, offering a glimmer of hope and reassurance amid the trials.
