### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

In Revelation 11:15-19, we read this passage as a profound revelation of both Law and Gospel. The sounding of the seventh trumpet signifies the consummation of God's kingdom, a moment of both judgment and grace. The Law is evident in the declaration of God's wrath against sin, exposing humanity's rebellion. Yet, the Gospel shines through in the announcement of Christ's eternal reign, assuring us that He is the Lamb who has conquered sin and death. This passage delivers Christ to us as both Judge and Redeemer, affirming that our justification is secured by His victorious reign.
