Roman Catholic Lens Commentary: Revelation 11:15-19

## Roman Catholic Lens Reading of Revelation 11:15-19

### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

We read Revelation 11:15-19 through the lens of the Church's eschatological hope, where the Kingdom of God is fully established. This passage, with its imagery of the seventh trumpet, signifies the consummation of God's plan and the final victory of Christ. The scene in heaven, with the twenty-four elders worshiping, mirrors the liturgical worship of the Church, pointing to the Eucharistic celebration as a foretaste of the heavenly banquet. We see this as an affirmation of the Church's mission to proclaim and prepare for the coming of God's Kingdom, as guided by the Magisterium and the Sacred Tradition.
