There will be great signs, disruptions of life on the earth as the judgments of God are unsealed. These judgments may seem harsh, yet in Romans 8:22 “For we know that the whole creation groans together and suffers agony together until now”. This agony must be removed and these judgments are not without cause. These judgments are not without warning as we read in Revelation 10:11 And they said to me, “It is necessary for you to prophesy again about many peoples and nations and languages and kings”. Even so, these judgments come to “destroy those who destroy the earth” in Revelation 11:18. Now, finally, dominion has been restored in Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel blew the trumpet, and there was a loud voice in heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”
There Will Be No More Delay
Revelation 10:1–6
The seven seals have been opened and at the seventh, a third of the land, a third of the sea, and a third of humanity were destroyed. For the rest, there was another angel in
Revelation 10:2 and holding in his hand a little scroll that was opened. And he put his right foot on the sea and his* left on the land.
As this angel spoke in
Revelation 10:4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write, and I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them!”
There are some parts of God’s plan that are yet to be revealed. The day of Christ’s return, the words uttered by this angel. the contents of the “little scroll”. What we do know, is that after these great judgments, the end is near as this angel decrees in
Revelation 10:6 and swore by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, “There will be no more delay!”
It Is Necessary for You to Prophesy
Revelation 10:7–11
The mystery of God is finally to be revealed and, in heaven, it is at the sound of the trumpet in
Revelation 10:7 “But in the days of the sound of the seventh angel, whenever he is about to blow the trumpet, then the mystery of God is completed, as he announced to his own slaves the prophets.”
These things done in heaven, have an effect on the earth and God always communicates to his people through his prophets, so, John has a message to deliver. As he, in Revelation 10:10 “took the little scroll … and ate it up”, he becomes the earthly messenger and is instructed to prophesy in
Revelation 10:11 And they said to me, “It is necessary for you to prophesy again about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”

Revelation 11:1–6
When They Have Completed Their Testimony
The Kingdom of Our Lord
Revelation 11:15–19
When Jesus began his ministry, he was tempted by the devil in
Luke 4:6–7 And the devil said to him, “I will give you all this domain and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I can give it to whomever I want. 7 So if you will worship before me, all this will be yours.”
But Jesus had come to take back all dominion and here, the finished work of God through Jesus Christ is declared in
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel blew the trumpet, and there was a loud voice in heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”
Now comes judgment to “destroy those who destroy the earth” in Revelation 11:18.
