The Seven Thunders
The seven thunders utter their voices, however John was commanded not to write what he heard.

Revelation 10:1-4
“I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”

Facts
● What John heard the Thunders say is not written in the Bible.
● So these thunders cannot say something that is written in the Bible, yet they must agree with everything that is written in the Bible.

A mystery in the bible is the time of the rapture and another is the new name that Jesus has in Revelation 19.

Matthew 24:36
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”

Revelation 19:12
“His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.”

Thunder generally describes how God talks throughout the bible, so these could be His own words which must be said in heaven at that certain time. However since this is said in the future it could change the entire future of earth if the message of the thunders was written down.

The Mighty Angel
These verses between the 6th and 7th trumpets could signify a possible delay longer than between the previous trumpets.

Revelation 10:5-7
“The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.”

The Little Book
John becomes a participant in the great drama which is unfolding before us. He is required to do a very strange thing, one that has a very typical meaning. He eats the little book at the instructions of the angel, and the results are bittersweet. Eating the little book means to receive the Word of God with faith. The part of the Word of God taken by John was judgment. It was sweet because the future is sweet. In Genesis 18:17 we read, “And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do…?”

It is sweet to know what God is going to do, but when you find out that judgment is coming, it is bitter. John eagerly received the Word of God, but when he saw that more judgment was to follow, it brought travail of soul and sorrow of heart. It was sweet in his mouth and bitter in his digestive system. If you and I can take delight in reading this section of the Word of God and the judgments that are to fall upon the earth, then we need to do a great deal of praying to understand the mind of God.

It is sweet to know the Book of Revelation and what God intends to do, but when we find out that judgment is coming to the Christ-rejecting world around us, we cannot rejoice in that. The prophecy becomes bitter.

Revelation 10:8-11
“Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.” So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.””

The Witnesses Killed
The antichrist rises against the witnesses once they have completed their testimony, he will make war against the them, overcome them, and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the streets of Jerusalem for three days and will not be buried. Those on the earth will rejoice over their death, partying and sending gifts to one another because of the torment these witnesses inflicted on the earth in God’s name.

Look For
● A televised event of the slain witnesses
● A worldwide party celebrating their death
● They will not bury their bodies

Revelation 11:7-10
“When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.”

The bible doesn’t say in what manner the witnesses will be killed but we can guess it has to be something that visually confirms their death such as gunshot wounds, missing limbs or anything else that people can easily look on and agree that nobody can survive that type of wound. If you didn’t catch it above, the witnesses are likely to be Elijah and Moses.

The Witnesses Resurrected
After three and a half days of laying in the street, God will breathe life into them and they will be resurrected. The witnesses then heard a loud voice from heaven and ascend in a cloud. Their enemies see this (on television) and in the same hour a great earthquake strikes the city where a tenth of it falls. About seven thousand people are killed in the earthquake and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Look For
● The saints resurrected after 3 days and ascend into heaven
● A huge earthquake in Jerusalem where about 7,000 people are killed
● A mass repentance in Jerusalem

Revelation 11:11-13
“Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.”

The enemies of the witnesses will see them resurrected and raised into heaven in a cloud. This will likely be broadcasted worldwide and will shock everyone watching.
