In the seventh trumpet rapture, we read the following:

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." -Revelation 11:15

This marks around the middle of the seven year tribulation. The first 3.5 years were astronomical happenstances that God will no longer protect the earth from, in combination of man royally messing things up, and God not stepping in to help, like He has often done in the past.

The second part of the tribulation begins around the time of the middle tribulation rapture, where Christ takes His kingdom back on this earth. This begins with the rapture of the saints, in fulfillment of the mystery:

"But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets." -Revelation 10:7

This being the mystery being fulfilled at the last/seventh trumpet:

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." -1 Corinthians 15:51-52

The seventh trumpet mystery, which is the rapture of the saints, is also described below:

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." -1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Natural disasters, astronomical disasters, and man's disasters riddle the seven seals and the seven trumpets, but the seven vials of wrath are literally God's wrath and judgments being unleashed on the world, as He is taking the kingdom back:

"And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God." -Revelation 15:1

After the seven vials of wrath have all been unleashed, then Jesus Christ comes to this earth for His physical second coming, and establishes His physical kingdom on earth, beginning with quashing the Battle of Armageddon.

If Christ must TAKE the kingdom back in this world, then that would indicate that currently this world is not under the kingdom of God, and it is not.

"Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." -Matthew 4:8-10

Satan offered a rulership of the kingdoms of this world to Jesus, if Jesus would worship him. This sounds like the current head spiritual ruler of this world is the devil. Doesn't it?

This is currently a fallen world, and Christians are not of it. While we sojourn in it as pilgrims and strangers, we are to be lights for Christ, ambassadors for Christ, but this is not our world; therefore we are to remain set apart from it:

"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." -John 15:18-19

"I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word" -John 17:14-20

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." -Romans 12:2

"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God." -1 Corinthians 2:12

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." -2 Corinthians 5:20-21

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." -Colossians 2:8

"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." -James 4:4

"Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul" -1 Peter 2:11

"For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning." -2 Peter 2:20

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." -1 John 2:16

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them." -1 John 4:4-5

How is a Christian to act in regards to the authorities and rulers in this current, fallen world, when we know that the head, the principalities of this world's evil, goes beyond the evil of the Illuminati, and beyond Vatican Mystery Babylon? Above the Illuminati sits Vatican Mystery Babylon, and above that is Satan himself.

Thankfully, Satan cannot freely do all he desires:

"And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord." -Job 1:12

How do we Christians protect ourselves in this Satan-run spiritual kingdom?

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." -Ephesians 6:12

This battle is not of the flesh. It is spiritual. Therefore, the Christian must utilize their spiritual armor. Ephesians 6:10-18 tells us all about that:

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints" -Ephesians 6:10-18

Before a Christian got saved, they walked after the principalities:

"Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience" -Ephesians 2:2

Now we have the Spirit of God:

"In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise" -Ephesians 1:13

With spiritual wickedness being in high places, we know we must utilize the armor of God. What about rulers in the physical?

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same" -Romans 13:1-3

We are to follow the laws of the land. No ruler is in his place, without God allowing him to be there. Yes, this includes Nero, Hitler, and others. Why were there such evil rulers aloud to rule? We know that sometimes it is because God uses them to bring judgment on people who need to be awakened to the truth.

God used Nebuchadnezzar, as we see when we read through the book of Daniel. In fact, Nebuchadnezzar ended up writing a portion of the book of Daniel. Wow.

What about if the ruler of the land commands you to do something that is against God's law? Well, we see that in Daniel chapter 3, men were commanded to bow to and worship an idol erected by Nebuchadnezzar, and those found not complying would be burned to death and punishment. Three men of God refused to follow that edict, and were tossed into the burning furnace. In Daniel chapter 6, Daniel was thrown into a den of hungry lions, because he prayed to the one, true God, which was forbidden at that time.

Remember, as per Romans 13, we are to obey the laws of the land, but:

"And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." -Acts 5:27-30

When the laws of the fallen land interfere with the spiritual, and we have to choose between God and man, we are to choose God.
