If the Mystery of God Is Finished in the Days of the Voice of the Seventh Angel, Where and When Do the Seven Thunders Utter Their Voices?
1) Direct Answer
They utter on earth, under the descent of the Mighty Angel in Revelation 10, and they do it in the days of the voice of the seventh angel—an end-time period just before the seventh trumpet. Their words are not written in Scripture but are revealed to the Bride to finish the mystery of God.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Revelation 10:1-4 shows a Mighty Angel coming down, one foot on sea and one on land—an earthly scene. He cries as a lion roars, and “seven thunders uttered their voices.” John heard them, but was told, “Seal up those things… and write them not.” So the content was hidden in Scripture.
- Revelation 10:7 says, “in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished.” That links the finishing of the mystery with an end-time “voice” period, not a single moment.
- Revelation 10:8-11 commands the prophet to take the open book and eat it, then “prophesy again.” The little book is open, not closed—meaning what was sealed is now made known and spoken forth.
- This unfolds to the Bride (Revelation 7:9-17; 20:4), preparing her faith and testimony before the seventh trumpet turns fully to Israel.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- If John was forbidden to write what the thunders said, then the Bible would not add new text for them. Yet God promised the mystery would be finished in the days of the seventh angel’s voice. Therefore, the thunders must be made known by revelation in that end-time voice, not by adding Scripture.
- The scene is on earth (feet on sea and land), so the thunders are uttered on earth, to be caught by the Bride during that “days of the voice” season.
- They are connected to the open book, so their purpose is to unveil what was hidden under the Seals, give the Bride rapturing faith, and complete God’s revealed mystery before the seventh trumpet sounds.
4) Short Reinforcing Statement
Now notice: the seven thunders are not future, unknowable noise; they are the hidden voices tied to the open book, sounded on earth in the days of the seventh angel’s voice to finish the mystery and ready the Bride.

It was in the end-time period that the seven thunders of Jesus came forth. Revelation 10:3-4, "And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not." What was in those thunders no one knows. But we need to know. And it will take a prophet to get the revelation b...

First of all, that messenger is going to be a prophet. He will have the office of a prophet. He will have the prophetic ministry. It will be based solidly on the Word because when he prophesies or has a vision, it will always be "Word oriented" and it will ALWAYS come to pass. He will be vindicated as a prophet because of his accuracy. The proof that he is a prophet is found in Revelation 10:7 "But in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished...

The Baptists have their creeds and dogmas based on the Word and you can't shake them. They say the apostolic days of miracles are over and there is no Baptism with the Holy Ghost, subsequent to believing. The Methodists say (based on the Word) there is no water baptism (sprinkling is not baptism) and that sanctification is the Baptism with the Holy Ghost. The Church of Christ majors in regenerational baptism and in all too many cases they go down dry sinners and come up wet ones. Yet they claim their doctrine is Wo...

"The Beginning Of The Creation Of God." That is Who the Lord Jesus says He is. But those words don't mean exactly as they sound to us. Just taking them the way they sound has made some people (in fact multitudes of people) get the idea that Jesus was the first creation of God, making Him lower than Godhead. Then this first creation created all the rest of the universe and whatsoever it contains. But that is not right. You know that doesn't line up with the rest of the Bible. The words are, "He is the BEGINNER or AU...

I want you to watch this carefully now and see something really sweet and beautiful. I said this is His end-time revelation of Himself. When the day of grace closes, then the millennium comes very shortly thereafter, doesn't it? Well, read with me Isaiah 65:16-19. "That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from Mine eyes. For behold, I create...
