The Seventh Trumpet
The seventh trumpet sounded and the loud voices that came from Heaven said in Revelation 11:15 "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever." What does this mean? This means that the kingdom of the world belongs to Jesus. But the world isn't one kingdom as it has 7 continents (currently) and many countries with different rulers and methods of governing. But once that 7th trumpet sounds, Jesus will rule all. It won't matter what continent or country you live in. No matter what city, town or state, Jesus will have rule over all. Not for a short while. Not for a week. Not for a year, but "forever and ever."

The Seventh Angel
The seventh angel swore by Him who lives forever and ever (God) that there would be no more delay and the mysteries of God would be revealed just as He announced to His servants the prophets (Revelation 10:5-7). This means that the inclusion of Jesus is a part of God's mystery.

Before the Eyes of Men
When we give whether it is to our church or we help a friend or someone we don't know, our heart must be in the right place. It cannot be on trying to impress others. It cannot be to say "Hey look at me!" Through our selfless service we can show honor to God by helping others.
In Matthew the words of Jesus resonate loudly and are quite clear. In Matthew 6:1 Jesus tells to beware of practicing righteousness (doing good works) in order for others to see you. If you do good works for others to see you, you will have no reward from your Father in Heaven. Essentially, when you do good things on earth for people to see God will not acknowledge it.
Furthermore, we are to sound no trumpet (call no attention) in regard to our good works. The hypocrites would do that in the synagogues (Matthew 6:2). The hypocrites were the Pharisees who did good works before the eyes of men, not God. In verses 3-4 Jesus sums things up by saying if you do your giving in secret, your Father in Heaven will reward you. That is where our focus should be: on pleasing God. If we seek to please others we will fall short because there is nothing you can do that will please everyone all the time. Seek to honor God all the time and honor God only.
