Revelation 6:10-11 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.


10:4-7 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as He hath declared to His servants the prophets.



"There should be time no longer," which Bullinger states carries the meaning of, "there is no more delay in executing final vengeance." The request made in [Rev.6:10-11] is foretold in [Rev.10:4-7]. It doesn't mean that time ends. Notice too....the seventh angel sounds for "days."


At the beginning of the sounding, which will be during the sixth trump, the great tribulation of Satan, the mystery SHOULD BE finished. Before the final vengeance, which is the wrath of the Lord that is rendered on those of us that take the mark of the beast...."the mystery of God should be finished." His servants the prophets should understand the mystery! Although there is more than one mystery, for it is written "mysteries of God" in various verses, I believe the following are speaking of one mystery, which is "the mystery of God" or "the mystery of the kingdom of God."​


Mark 4:10-11 And when He was alone, they that were about Him with the twelve asked of Him the parable. And He said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:


From the above we are given to see that those that were about Him, as well as the twelve...which includes those "about Him" today...are given to know the mystery and the mystery should be finished, understood, by those individuals before the time of the final vengeance.

What is the mystery?​



Romans 16:19-20 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

16:24-27 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Now to Him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

Colossians 1:26-28 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to His saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Luke 17:20-21 And when He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.


So, the mystery is...He dwells in us, walks in us and together we bruise Satan under our feet.​

Sorry whirlwind, though the mystery Paul spoke of about the believing Gentiles becoming fellow-heirs is part of God's Plan of Salvation, the ending of the mystery of God per Rev.10 is about the events of the day of The Lord with Christ's coming.

All the following Scriptures use that same Greek word 'hemera' that is in Rev.10:7...

Matt 9:15
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
(KJV)

Matt 10:15
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
(KJV)

Matt 13:1
1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
(KJV)

Matt 23:30
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
(KJV)

Matt 24:19
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
(KJV)

Matt 28:15
15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
(KJV)

Mark 4:35
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
(KJV)

Notice how Greek hemera is also used as a basic time marker, as also a specific period of a day. In Rev.10:7 it's important to realize hemera is used as an expression to mark a certain time, and not necessarily a specific duration... of time.

The mystery Paul spoke of is about gentiles becoming fellow-heirs.....That is not the mystery I am writing about.

If you were not inferring that the mystery of Rev.10 was about the mystery which Paul taught, then why did you write the following in your OP?

Because they tell us about the mystery of Christ in us....not that Gentiles become of Israel.

That's a different subject, but per Apostle Paul all believers on Christ Jesus have become spiritual Israel, i.e., counted for the seed (Romans 9). That now is Christ Church, and it includes believing flesh born Israelites.
