· Translation: KJV

Revelation 10:7but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants, the prophets.

The setting

Patmos Island, Greece, ~96 AD. John learns that when the seventh trumpet sounds, every mystery about God's justice and plan will be revealed and completed...

The emotion here: anticipating the moment when all confusion will end

The original word

mystērion (μυστήριον) — not something unknowable, but something hidden that will be dramatically revealed

Why it matters

The seven churches receiving this letter were facing persecution and wondering why God seemed absent

Read with care
