Some Teach That Because It Is Impossible to List the Seven Thunders What They Are from 1-7, Therefore They Have Not Been Revealed. Is This Correct?
1) Direct Answer
No. Not being able to list the seven thunders from 1–7 does not mean they are unrevealed. The seven thunders are not a creed to be itemized; they are the living revelation of the Word under the opened Seals, made known to the Bride.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Revelation 10:3–4: The seven thunders uttered their voices, and John was told, “Write them not.” So the Bible itself shows these were not to be written as a list.
- Revelation 10:1–2: The Mighty Angel comes with an open book. What was sealed is now open.
- Revelation 10:7: “In the days of the voice of the seventh angel… the mystery of God should be finished.” Finished means revealed, not left unknown.
- Daniel 12:4: The words were to be sealed till the time of the end—implying an appointed time of unveiling.
- Amos 3:7; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 2:10: God reveals His secrets to His servants, by His Spirit, in due season.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- If God commanded John not to write what the thunders said, then expecting a written, numbered list is contrary to Scripture. You see, the very nature of the thunders is a Voice, not a manuscript.
- The same chapter that seals the utterances (Rev 10:4) shows the Book open (Rev 10:2) and declares the mystery finished (Rev 10:7). So to claim, “Because we can’t list them, they are not revealed,” opposes the Bible’s pattern: sealed to writing, but opened by revelation at the time appointed.
- Revelation is recognized by the opened Word bringing all the loose ends of Scripture together, not by a man-made catalog. “My sheep hear My voice” (John 10:27). The Bride knows that Voice when the Word is unveiled to her heart.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now notice… the seven thunders are the Voice of Christ unveiling the hidden things under the Seals. It’s not about numbering them; it’s about hearing Him. The open Book, the finished mystery, and the Spirit’s testimony to the Word declare they have sounded to the Bride.

When Jesus was upon earth He said, "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of Myself; but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." John. 14:10. Here it is most evidently set forth that the perfect manifestation of God in the Son was by the indwelling Spirit manifesting in Word and works. That is exactly what we have been teaching all along. When the bride will get back to being a Word bride, she will produce the very works that Jesu...

Let me drop in something here that will both amaze and help you. There is hardly a student that does not believe the New Testament was originally in the Greek language. All our great Bible students have said that God gave the world three great nations with three great contributions for the sake of the Gospel. He gave the Greeks who gave a universal language. He gave us the Jews who gave us the true religion and true knowledge of God through the Saviour. He gave us the Romans who gave us a unified empire with law an...

Now don't let anyone be misled by what I have said and think that I do not believe in the accuracy of the Word as we now have it. I believe this Bible is accurate. Jesus completely authenticated the Old Testament when here on earth and it was compiled exactly as was our New Testament. Make no mistake about it, we have the infallible Word of God today and no man dares take from it or add to it. But we need the same Spirit that gave it, to teach it to us.

Now before we leave this subject I want to make myself very clear on what the Baptism with the Holy Ghost is according to the Word. It is not according to me, and it is not according to you. It has to be according to "Thus saith the Lord," or we are falsely led. Amen. To begin with you will notice that in my meetings when I have finished preaching an evangelistic service, or some teaching message, I cast the net and invite a response from the people. I ask them to come forward and receive the Holy Spirit. My Pentec...

Yes, the Spirit is not seven Spirits but ONE. He will always be the same and act the same. And the seven messengers will have the same Spirit and teach the same Word and have the same power. And if the church is the true church it will have the very same Spirit and Word and acts of power that they had at Pentecost. By experience it will be a Pentecostal church; and there will be tongues, and interpretation and prophecy and healings. God will be in the midst of her and God will declare Himself in the midst of her as...
