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.

Seals 10: The Seventh Seal
63-0324E §130
Did you notice when the Jews asked Him that? You know when we compared the scripture here with Matthew 24 with the six seals, the seventh seal was left out, because, you see, Christ said only God Himself knowed---not even the angels. No wonder, it wasn't even written. You see, they hushed. Nothing taken place then. Angels don't know it. Nobody knows when He's coming. But there'll be a... There'll be seven voices of these thunders that will reveal the great revelation at that time. So, I believe, to us who ... if we...
Corinthians, book of correction

We notice Paul could teach the Ephesians there, how that before the foundation of the world, they were predestinated unto the adoption of the sons of God. Now, the Corinthians didn't know anything about that. They just... They had to have a little feeling or something, little sensation---one this, that and the other---and they depended on that. He couldn't teach them the deep things. So I think it's a great ... when you got a people that you can teach deep things. And the Holy Spirit can wind these great truths and...

To see Jesus

May He add His blessings to the reading of the Word. Tonight, I would like to use this as a subject, being it's the first night of the service. Now, tomorrow night, if God willing, I wish to take just some teachings of some parts of the Scripture and teach on it a few moments. I'd like to give you, being it's the beginning of the service, an outline of what the services are, and how we try to conduct them, the best of our knowledge, for the glory of our Lord Jesus. And that is my main theme, and always has been my...
What does thou here?

If you're listening to hear... Not no remarks, no reflections, but if you're listening to hear of a great revival somewhere where ten thousand people are gathered, go ahead, you're listening to the wrong thing. "I will go over and see. They say they have great crowds." That don't make a bit of difference. The race tracks have that. Everything else has that. The rock-and-rollers have that. "I'm going over to... I'm going over for something else." If you go for anything else... But if you're listening for anything el...
