Revelation 10:5–7
Revelation 10:1–7 places a mighty angel over sea and land with a little open scroll while seven thunders speak words John is forbidden to record. The angel swears by the eternal Creator that delay will end and that God’s mystery will be finished when the seventh trumpet sounds. The sealed thunders remind the reader that Revelation discloses much without claiming to disclose everything.
The angel's raised-hand oath in Revelation 10 closely echoes Daniel 12:7 while announcing the approach of consummation.
Revelation speaks of God’s mystery being finished “as he hath declared to his servants the prophets,” closely recalling Amos’s claim that the Lord reveals his secret to “his servants the prophets.” The wording and prophetic-disclosure idea make this a strong canonical echo.
