Revelation 10: Mysteries

"Mystery" is a technical term in the study of biblical prophecy.  In vs. 7, we hear that the mystery of God will be accomplished.  We will see the term "mystery" again in Revelation.

Speaking of "mysteries" (in the more generic sense), don't you wish we knew what the seven thunders had to say?  There is definitely a cyclical pattern to the Book of Revelation.  There were letters to seven churches; there were seven seals on the Lamb's scroll, each one ushering in a judgment when it is opened; there were seven trumpets; there were seven thunders, which remain sealed; and there will be seven bowls.  The intensity of the judgment increases with each round.

There are also many angels that appear in Revelation.  Here we have in chapter 10 "a mighty angel" with one foot on land and one foot on the sea.  Angels are swarming all over this book!
