My favorite scripture at the moment seems to be Rev. 10, until I find out what it means exactly. It is all extremely good, but I am very fascinated with 10:7, and feel it should be taken seriously.
After the appearance of a very mighty angel, John sees him stand on the earth wiht one foot and the sea with the other and cries out and seven thunders answer him. Yes, seven thunders. As in thunders, as in speaking. The Sioux are at last vindicated, I'm afraid, but that is another story indeed.
Then after hearing what the thunders said, and John repeats it three times lest we misunderstand that there were 7 thunders uttering their voices and it was not a metaphor, probably, but another mystery of God, I'm sure, the seventh angel cries out to heaven that time should be not more. (Is this not a no-brainer? Quite understandable?)
And then John says: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
So, many things to me that were too far out seem to be that the 7th angel has probably cried out to the Lord that it is time. Therefore it is time for the mystery of God to be finished, and the Greek for mystery and finished go beyond our English, I do believe.
I just love Rev. 10. |
