Revelation 11:16-18 Part 2 of 2

 "And behold, I am coming quickly. 
Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book."     
Revelation 22:7  NASB

And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: "We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and our people who revere your name, both great and small--and for destroying those who destroy the earth."  

The nations were angry 
Psalm 2:1-3  Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying, "Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles." 

The time has come for judging the dead 
Revelation 20:11-12  Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 

and for rewarding your servants the prophets 
Revelation 10:7  "But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets."
Daniel 9:6  "We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors, and to all the people of the land." 
Amos 3:7  Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
Zechariah 1:4-6  "Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.' But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the LORD. Where are your ancestors now? And the prophets, do they live forever? But did not my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, overtake your ancestors? Then they repented and said, 'The LORD Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.' " 

and your people who revere your name, both great and small 
Revelation 19:5  Then a voice came from the throne, saying: "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both great and small."
