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.

Church Ages, part 6: The Thyatirean Church Age
60-1208 §9
Now, this great saint here was Columba. He was a great man of God. Now, I've got his history kind of written down here. First, the fourth church age, Thyatira, it means to be lax, loose, or hazy, see. It was just a illegitimate time. From 606 to 1500 the star was Columba, from Ireland and Scotland, which was a nephew to St. Martin; and lived about sixty years after St. Patrick. And so, his ministry began about sixty years after St. Patrick. He never did accept the Roman doctrine. He was a great man of faith. He rej...

But see what was happening back there. That false vine was getting a hold and it was teaching that rulership by man was right. It taught that the church had to be governed. It taught a control over the people, but instead of doing it God's way, they simply took authority and vested all the spiritual power in their own hands and came out with a holy priesthood standing between God and the people. They went right back to the old Aaronic system. They became antichrist for they disposed of His mediator-ship and imposed...

Let's see what the Bible teaches us about this Sabbath rest. "For he that is entered into his rest." This entering in is not only entering in, but remaining in, the rest. It is an 'eternal rest' of which the seventh day is but a type. 'Seven' is completion. 'Eight' is the 'first' day again. Jesus' resurrection was in the first day of the week, giving us eternal life and eternal Sabbath rest. Thus we see why God could not give us any one certain day of the week as a Sabbath (rest). We've 'entered into' and do 'remai...

Now exactly what is that rest that Jesus will give? Isaiah 28:8-12, "For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. Whom shall He teach knowledge? and whom shall He make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this people. To whom He said, This is the r...
Seals 3: The First Seal
63-0318 §38
Then there's coming forth seven mysterious thunders that's not even written at all! That's right! And I believe that through those seven thunders will be revealed in the last days in order to get the Bride together for rapturing faith; because what we got right now, we wouldn't be able to do it. There is something we've got to step farther. We can't have enough faith for divine healing hardly. We've got to have enough faith to be changed in a moment, to be swept up out of this earth. And we will find that, after aw...
