Revelation 11:16 in Context — Revelation 11

14 El segundo ¡Ay! es pasado: he aquí, el tercer ¡Ay! vendrá presto.

15 Y el séptimo ángel tocó la trompeta, y fueron hechas grandes voces en el cielo, que decían: Los reinos del mundo han venido á ser [los reinos] de nuestro Señor, y de su Cristo: y reinará para siempre jamás.

16 Y los veinticuatro ancianos que estaban sentados delante de Dios en sus sillas, se postraron sobre sus rostros, y adoraron á Dios,

17 Diciendo: Te damos gracias, Señor Dios Todopoderoso, que eres y que eras y que has de venir, porque has tomado tu grande potencia, y has reinado.

18 Y se han airado las naciones, y tu ira es venida, y el tiempo de los muertos, para que sean juzgados, y para que des el galardón á tus siervos los profetas, y á los santos, y á los que temen tu nombre, á los pequeñitos y á los grandes, y para que destruyas los que destruyen la tierra.
