Does your brain hurt yet? There is so much that is going on here. As I made my way through these 3 chapters it was something very subtle that captured my attention. In chapter 10, verse 4 it says, “When the Seven Thunders spoke, I started to write it all down, but a voice out of Heaven stopped me, saying, “Seal with silence the Seven Thunders; don’t write a word.”
“Keep silent” says the voice from heaven. While John was asked to write this vision down he also witnessed things that were better left unsaid. In the midst of all the descriptive detail of this vision there are still many intentional mystery’s. To me it is just another reminder that Revelation is to remind us of Christ’s imminent return and give us a context for His arrival, but much of what will transpire will remain a mystery until the ordained time when God chooses to complete it all.
Be warned, encouraged, awe struck, and humbled by all that God has said to us through this powerful book! Some things are intended to be a mystery while one thing definitly is not…God is in control and He knows what He is doing!
