“The God who transcends time guides the entire course of history because he not only stands as sovereign over its beginning and end, but is also in its midst, invisibly guiding it.” (G. K. Beale, The Book of Revelation, p. 613).

“The seven trumpets of God, like those at Jericho, have gone before the ark of his covenant and shattered all resistance to the establishment of his dominion in the earth.” (Dennis E. Johnson, Triumph of the Lamb, p. 154).
