After having witnessed the calamitous pourings of the sixth "bowl" of God's anger, we are now living in the last period and related events of the warning "voice" of the seventh angel. Next, will be the commencement of the everlasting rule of God, both in heaven and on earth, when the seventh warning "trumpet" is blown or communicated to the anointed sons of God on earth.

The following details about this are stated in scripture: That during the period of the "sounding" of the seventh angel's trumpet, the purpose of God regarding humankind through the "good news" of salvation by means of The Christ had come to a finish. And as I have already explained in previous writings, it means that those people to be saved by God through Christ Jesus (who is the "good news") has been decided upon. Thereafter, individuals can only give glory to God out of fear of the calamitous things taking place on earth by the power of God. (Rev 10:7. 11:13).

When God begins His rule, the living dead on earth who have not had a spirit rebirth, together with those dead in their graves who did not obey the "good news", will all be judged and lose their reward of everlasting life. They will not inherit the spirit creative benefits of God's Kingdom rule. "Most truly I say to you, Unless anyone is born from water and spirit (namely, baptism), he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." (John 3:5).

Furthermore: "This takes into account that it is righteous on God's part to repay tribulation to those who make tribulation for you, but, to you who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength". (2 Thess 1:6-9).

To obey the "good news" takes a great deal of personal time and effort. Obeying differs from one individual to another, but certain changes and adjustments have to be made by everyone in order to be truly obeying the "good news" about our Lord. Firstly, to be able to acquire accurate knowledge of the Lord's requirements, one has to appeal to God for a "clean conscience". Then out of one's allegiance to God, be baptised, and work to put on the "fruitages" of the spirit. Time is needed to accomplish these things through faith. So even before the opportunity extended to humankind through the "good news" had concluded, for many just prior to God beginning His rule over the earth, it is now too late. For His rule concludes the purpose and the time allowed for the "good news". (See Rev 10:7).

The people of Mexico were scripturally warned about their unGodly aspect by means of an earthquake in their city in 1985. As prophesied, it destroyed a "tenth" of their city and killed thousands, and just a short time before the final judgement of them takes place when God begins His rule by means of The Christ and his 144,000 underpriests. The calamity in Mexico was an act of mercy from God by means of The Christ's prophesied sixth "trumpet" warning. (Rev 11:13). The question is, did those remaining alive in Mexico after the earthquake in 1985, or those of other nations, become "frightened" and give glory to God as stated in Revelation 11:13?

The "sounding", which would be just prior to the actual blowing of the seventh "trumpet" (the word 'sounding' quoted only in the New World Translation), means an investigation. (See Oxford Dictionary under the figurative meaning of sounding).
