I had seen standing on the sea and on the land\u00a0raised his right hand to heaven.\u00a06\u00a0And he swore by Him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it,\u00a0and said, \u201cThere will be no more delay!\u00a0 7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery\u00a0of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to His servants the prophets.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv5301253393ydp5f048089MsoNormal\">\u201c<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land\u00a0raised his right hand to heaven.\u00a0 6\u00a0And he swore by Him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it,\u00a0and said, \u201cThere will be no more delay!<\/span>\u201d\u00a0 This mighty angel stands on the land and the sea.\u00a0 What a mighty and imposing figure.\u00a0 Notice that it is not said that he stands in the sea, but on the sea.\u00a0 Even his position and posture show that He is sent and empowered by God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv5301253393ydp5f048089MsoNormal\">The angel seems to be swearing by another, by \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Him who lives for ever and ever<\/span>.\u201d The angel is swearing by God whom the angel refers to as \u201cHim.\u201d\u00a0 The \u201cHim\u201d is described as He who is eternal and who created all this is created.\u00a0 We know that Jesus is eternal and that He was the one who made all things and holds all things together (<b>John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:15-17<\/b>).\u00a0 So if this mighty angel were Jesus it would seem odd that He would refer to Himself in such a way.\u00a0 It would therefore seem most likely that this angel is not Jesus but in fact, one of God\u2019s very mighty angels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv5301253393ydp5f048089MsoNormal\">The angel delivers the message which he was given by God to give.\u00a0 How wonderful is the faithful service of God\u2019s angels?\u00a0 They do what God asks them to do, when He tells them to do they do it, and exactly as He has instructed them.\u00a0 Oh that my ears would be so trained, my heart so inclined, and my will and mind so eager and ready to always act!\u00a0 Lord Jesus, please, daily, make me new!<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv5301253393ydp5f048089MsoNormal\">No more delays.\u00a0 He is referring to the blowing of the Seventh Trumpet.\u00a0 The releasing of the third woe, is about to happen.\u00a0 Family, the time for coming to the Lord is now.\u00a0 It is eternally now (<b>2 Corinthians 6:2<\/b>).\u00a0 There should never be any delay.\u00a0 Tomorrow is promised to no-one (<b>James 4:13-15, Proverbs 27:1, Luke 12:13-21<\/b>) and certainly those living during the Great tribulation are on the precipice of running out of time.\u00a0 That time is running out should alarm both the unredeemed and the redeemed.\u00a0 The unredeemed should be alarmed so that they awake from their deadly slumber and hear of and receive God\u2019s great grace through Jesus Christ.\u00a0 For the unredeemed they should be alarmed because we don\u2019t know if we have tomorrow to reach the lost.\u00a0 We don\u2019t know that we will live out they day, or that Jesus won\u2019t rapture us off today.\u00a0 The day of salvation is today, and both the unredeemed and the redeemed need to heed the call (<b>Revelation 22:17, 2 Corinthians 5:20, Isaiah 45:22, 1 Corinthians 1:24<\/b>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv5301253393ydp5f048089MsoNoSpacing\">\u201c<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery\u00a0of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to His servants the prophets.<\/span>\u201d\u201d\u00a0 What is \u201cthe mystery of God?\u201d The key to finding that out is reading the entire sentence.\u00a0 \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Just as he announced to his servants the prophets<\/span>.\u201d\u00a0 The mystery is the prophecies that God has given us through His prophets, Old and New Testament, that had not yet been fulfilled, but now all the waiting is coming to an end.\u00a0 What God has promised, what His people have longed for, is about to come true.\u00a0 The mystery is God fully revealing what had been foretold, but had not happened and maybe had not been fully understood.\u00a0\u00a0<b>Luke 2:25-35<\/b>\u00a0tells of a righteous and devout man named Simeon.\u00a0 When Joseph and Mary brought the baby Jesus to the temple and Simeon saw Him, he exclaimed \u201c<span class=\"yiv5301253393ydp5f048089text\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss\u00a0your servant in peace.<\/span>\u201d\u00a0 He, like all of God\u2019s people in the Old Testament had heard the great mystery of the coming Messiah, but now it was revealed.\u00a0 Now Simeon saw, and held, and surely kissed Jesus His Messiah.\u00a0 He embraced the mystery revealed.\u00a0 Simeon never doubted that the Messiah was coming. \u00a0To Him because God had promised the Messiah, it was never a matter of if, only a matter of when.\u00a0 So the mystery is the revealing of what God has already proclaimed.\u00a0 When God proclaims, He is just revealing fact that He already knows.\u00a0 To us, we cling to His promises in Rock solid faith.\u00a0 May we also embrace in our hearts, our souls and our minds, with all our strength, the Lord and kiss Him with our love and obedience to Him.\u00a0 The Seventh Trumpet is about to be blown.\u00a0 Terrifying events are coming.\u00a0 Wonderful events are coming.\u00a0 All depends on a person\u2019s spiritual perspective.\u00a0 As for us, we celebrate the fulfilling of all of God\u2019s prophecies as we shout praises to Him.\u00a0 Praise God!<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv5301253393ydp5f048089MsoNoSpacing\"><b>Psalm 150:6<\/b>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv5301253393ydp5f048089MsoNoSpacing\"><b>Micah 7:7<\/b>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<span style=\"color:
