Revelation 7–11 is a rollercoaster of divine drama. Chapter 7 pauses the chaos to seal 144,000 faithful and reveal a massive, multicultural crowd worshipping God—proof that salvation isn’t just for a chosen few.

Then come the trumpet blasts (chapters 8–9): fire rains down, seas turn to blood, stars fall, and demonic forces torment humanity. Still, people refuse to repent.

Chapters 10–11 shift gears with a mighty angel and two fearless witnesses who preach, die, and rise again. The seventh trumpet sounds, and heaven declares: God’s kingdom has arrived.
