If the Mystery of God Is Finished in the Days of the Voice of the Seventh Angel, Where and When Do the Seven Thunders Utter Their Voices?
1) Direct Answer
They utter on earth, under the descent of the Mighty Angel in Revelation 10, and they do it in the days of the voice of the seventh angel—an end-time period just before the seventh trumpet. Their words are not written in Scripture but are revealed to the Bride to finish the mystery of God.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Revelation 10:1-4 shows a Mighty Angel coming down, one foot on sea and one on land—an earthly scene. He cries as a lion roars, and “seven thunders uttered their voices.” John heard them, but was told, “Seal up those things… and write them not.” So the content was hidden in Scripture.
- Revelation 10:7 says, “in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished.” That links the finishing of the mystery with an end-time “voice” period, not a single moment.
- Revelation 10:8-11 commands the prophet to take the open book and eat it, then “prophesy again.” The little book is open, not closed—meaning what was sealed is now made known and spoken forth.
- This unfolds to the Bride (Revelation 7:9-17; 20:4), preparing her faith and testimony before the seventh trumpet turns fully to Israel.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- If John was forbidden to write what the thunders said, then the Bible would not add new text for them. Yet God promised the mystery would be finished in the days of the seventh angel’s voice. Therefore, the thunders must be made known by revelation in that end-time voice, not by adding Scripture.
- The scene is on earth (feet on sea and land), so the thunders are uttered on earth, to be caught by the Bride during that “days of the voice” season.
- They are connected to the open book, so their purpose is to unveil what was hidden under the Seals, give the Bride rapturing faith, and complete God’s revealed mystery before the seventh trumpet sounds.
4) Short Reinforcing Statement
Now notice: the seven thunders are not future, unknowable noise; they are the hidden voices tied to the open book, sounded on earth in the days of the seventh angel’s voice to finish the mystery and ready the Bride.

Revelation, Chapter 4a

The voice was the same voice that walked in the seven golden candlesticks, same voice. The voice didn't change. But the voice, where was it when he heard it the first time? How many remembers, in the first church age? Behind him. "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day," Revelation 1:10, "in the Spirit." If you want to put that down: Revelation 1:10 and 13. "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me as a voice of a trumpet and sounded like many waters. And when I turned to look, I saw one standing...

...chi 4, Revelation 10, seven seals. Didn't the Bible say... Now watch! There was a Angel, a Messenger from above, and a earthly messenger. And each messenger was for the age of the church. He said, "In the days..." speaking now, "there came an angel, messenger" (word angel, English word means "messenger"). "... came down from heaven, and He put His foot on the land and sea, and swore by Him that lives forever that time shall be no more." Is that right?

And now notice, that there is something wrong somewhere in the churches.
