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.

...Let us prove it. Why? It is the secret that no one knows about. John was forbidden to write about it---even write a symbol about it. Why? This is why. There was no activity in heaven. It might give away the secret. Do you see it now? If it is so great it must be included, because it's got to happen, but when the seven thunders... Now notice, when the seven angels come forth to sound their trumpets, there was one thunder. When Israel was gathered, there was a trumpet. When time shall be no more, the last trumpet, on...

But remember, Daniel was told by the Angel. Daniel heard seven thunders; they uttered their voices. Daniel grabbed his pen and started to write, and the Angel said, "Don't you write it!" Amen. Are you ready? Let's get into it just for about the next five minutes. Will you? Listen. "Don't you write it!" John saw the same thing, and it had already be written outside of the Bible; and had seven seals on the back of the book, that no man could open those seals; that was them voices. Here's the Bible, written, which is...

Seven seals, seven Spirits, seven angels, seven horns, and seven churches, see. Seven, seven. There's five sevens---which, seven is perfection; five is grace, God's grace to his seven church ages. His seven messenger men, his seven Spirits of God, the seven planned seals of redemption we're in right now. The seven horns means seven ages, because a horn means a kingdom. You remember the crown come upon the beast horn in Daniel, and so forth? See, it means a kingdom, or seven ages. And, remember, Jesus said some fell...

Notice, there is ... the whole earth is to be purged. There will be such a thing that the moon, stars, and all nature will be purged. You see what it is? The earth is renewing herself, being purged, getting ready for the millennium. The millennium's coming up. And see, everything that's got any filth in it is to be purged during the sixth seal.

John even saw it, the announcement when the first come forth. He said, "A white horse went forth. He had a rider on it. He had a bow in his hand." That's symbol. That isn't revealed. No, it's just a symbol. And as far as any man upon the earth, that's all he could say. That's right. He might stumble and stagger---no doubt hit somewhere here or there, and after awhile... But we find out then that in the book of the Revelation at the seventh angel's message, the mysteries---all the mysteries of it---should already be...
