Here we come to a second pair of interlude visions in the Revelation and the seventh trumpet blast. What we discover within this text is God’s call for his people to bear witness to him while they wait for his kingdom to arrive in all of its fullness. This work of bearing witness is not something God’s people do by their own strength but by the power of God’s Spirit who indwells them. And though they are sure to suffer, they are assured of God’s great care and their ultimate redemption.
