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.

Christ is the mystery of God revealed
63-0728 §110
Now, the coming of the Lord is in mystery. We don't know when He's coming, how He's coming, but we know He's coming, see. And so was all the mysteries of God waiting for this last day. After it's already been completed then He reveals and shows what He's done. Oh, my! Never gave His mystery in full. It's just like this, comparing the seven seals. Now, when God used Martin Luther for the coming out---for that first church (that church age), and when He used John Wesley, He gradually brought them out and was revealin...
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 2:E-21
The Voice Like A Trumpet Revelation 1:10, "... And heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet." John was in the Spirit, and when he was, he saw the great and wonderful day of the Lord Jesus and all His holy power. The future was about to unfold for God was about to teach him. John did not say it was a trumpet. It was like a trumpet. Now when a trumpet is blown it has an urgency about it. It is like the herald, the king's messenger, coming to the people. He blows on a trumpet. It is an urgent call. The people ga...
Church Ages, part 3: The Ephesian Church Age
60-1205 §24
As Daniel heard the seven thunders, and ... forbidden ... and John heard the voices, and this book was sealed. And the back of the book was sealed with seven seals. But in the days of these seals to be opened, the mystery of God would be finished. In other words, God would be known to his church not in three people, but as one person. The mystery of God would be revealed. And when that was completely revealed, then the seven mysteries would open to the church; because in there the church would be living under the i...
Seals 2: Breach between the Church Ages and the Seals
63-0317E §20
Now, you see, I'm just not making that up. That's what... it's "thus saith the Lord." I read it to you out of the Book---the sounding of the seventh angel's message, the mystery of God should be finished that's been declared by his holy prophets. (That's the prophets who have wrote the Word.) At the sounding of the seventh church age, the last church age, all the loose ends, that through these church ages have been probed at, will be wound up together. And when the seals are broke and the mystery is revealed, down...
The anointed ones at the end time
65-0725M §91
Now, that's the question. Here's where I want to get to. In Revelation 10---we'll get to it in a few minutes in another Scripture verse---he said, "In the days of the message of the seventh angel, the mystery of God ought to be finished." Here's... The question is, if you follow in that line in this hour: Will it be finished? "Will I find the faith?" Will Malachi 4 be fulfilled in this time: restore the faith of the children back to the faith of the fathers, the original, the Word? See?
