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.

How are you going to teach a man to speak in tongues? How are you going to teach a man to cast out devils with power? How are you going to teach a man to do these signs that Jesus said he would do? How are you going to teach a man to be able to stand on the platform and ... or, somewhere and foretell things that's coming and things that has been and will be? How are you going to teach him? You can't. It's a gift of God. When we get away from that, we get into a hybrid condition. We're back... We just go back to the...

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...
Is this the sign of the end sir?

And seven thunders right in the revelation, here, of Jesus Christ, it's some mystery. Does not the Bible say that this is the revelation of Jesus Christ? Why, there's some hidden mystery, then, of it. Mmm. What is it? The seven thunders have it, for John was just about to write. And a voice came down from heaven and said, "Don't write it, but seal it. Seal it up. Put it on the backside of the book." It has got to be revealed. It's the mysteries. Now, we solved out these things by the Holy Spirit. It's told us it wa...

And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, Who hath His eyes like unto a flame of fire, and His feet are like fine brass; I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce My servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols...

The church went right from organization to denomination and hence to false teaching. That is right. The Roman Catholics don't believe that God is in His Word. No sir. If they did they would have to repent and back up, but they say God is in His church. That would make the Bible the history of the Catholic Church. That isn't so. Look what they did to water baptism alone. They took it away from being Christian Baptism and made it a pagan one of titles. Let me tell you about an experience I had with a Catholic priest....
