The scene changes once more and John sees a mighty angel holding a little scroll. There are no seals on this scroll; instead, it is open in his hand. When the angel spoke, seven thunders rumbled, but John was forbidden to write down the visions they represented. The mighty angel then announced that with the sound of the seventh trumpet, all delays would be over. Furthermore, the mystery of God will be accomplished. I will discuss this mystery in a future blog. It is the point, the culmination, the apex of both Revelation and the story of God and his creation.
Revelation is full of the stories of salvation, and they are incredible to hear and behold. But that is not the mystery. Satan has been warring against God and his creation since the beginning of time. God will eventually win the war and banish Satan to the bottomless pit. But that is not the mystery. When God brings an end to the groanings of this world and makes everything new again, it will be a fantastic victory. But that is not the mystery. Stay tuned.
