But in the days
This phrase indicates a specific period, emphasizing the unfolding of divine events within God's perfect timing. The Greek word for "days" (ἡμέραι) often signifies not just literal days but appointed times or seasons. This suggests a divinely orchestrated period where God's plans come to fruition, reminding believers of God's sovereignty over time and history.

of the voice of the seventh angel
The "voice" (φωνή) here is a powerful symbol of authority and divine proclamation. The "seventh angel" signifies completion and perfection, as the number seven often represents in biblical numerology. This angel's role is pivotal, marking the culmination of a series of divine interventions. The angel's voice heralds a significant shift in the spiritual realm, underscoring the importance of listening to God's messengers.

when he is about to sound his trumpet
The trumpet (σάλπιγξ) is a recurring biblical symbol of announcement and judgment. In ancient Israel, trumpets were used to signal important events, such as festivals or battles. Here, the trumpet's sound signifies the imminent fulfillment of God's plan, calling believers to readiness and alertness. It serves as a divine wake-up call, urging the faithful to prepare for the unfolding of God's ultimate purpose.

the mystery of God
The "mystery" (μυστήριον) refers to divine truths previously hidden but now revealed through Christ and His apostles. In the New Testament, mysteries often pertain to God's redemptive plan through Jesus. This phrase reassures believers that God's purposes, though sometimes beyond human understanding, are intentional and will be unveiled in His timing. It invites trust in God's wisdom and His overarching plan for creation.

will be fulfilled
The Greek word for "fulfilled" (τελέω) conveys a sense of completion and perfection. It assures believers that God's promises and prophecies will reach their intended conclusion. This fulfillment is not just an end but the realization of God's redemptive work, offering hope and assurance that His kingdom will be established in its fullness.

just as He proclaimed
This phrase emphasizes the faithfulness of God in communicating His plans. The Greek word for "proclaimed" (εὐαγγελίζω) is often associated with the good news or gospel. It highlights that God's revelation to His prophets was not only a warning but also a message of hope and salvation. It reassures believers of the reliability and truth of God's word.

to His servants the prophets
The "servants" (δοῦλοι) are those who have dedicated their lives to God's service, particularly the prophets who were chosen to convey His messages. This phrase underscores the continuity of God's revelation from the Old Testament prophets to the New Testament apostles. It affirms the unity of Scripture and God's consistent communication with His people throughout history. The prophets serve as a testament to God's ongoing relationship with humanity, encouraging believers to heed their messages and trust in God's promises.

Verse 7. - But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel. The meaning naturally seems to be, "There shall be no longer time; but, on the contrary, in the days of the seventh trumpet, the last judgment shall tall, the end will come, and all things will be made manifest; the mystery of God will be finished." Wordsworth renders, "No delay, save only in the days," etc., and believes that the passage points to a brief respite, during which men may yet repent. When he shall begin to sound; when he is about to sound [his trumpet]. Alford points out the propriety of the expression. "When the seventh angel does sound, the completed time of the fulfilment is simultaneous with his blowing (cf. Revelation 11:18), so that it is properly said that the fulfilment comes in the days when he is about to blow." The mystery of God should be finished; also (or then, as Revised Version) the mystery of God was fulfilled. "The prophetic past" (Wordsworth). "The mystery of God" is all that man does not now understand in connection with God's dealings with man, but of the existence of which he is cognizant, e.g. the existence of evil in the world, and God's modes of dealing with that and all mankind, which we only know in part. God's plans are being steadily and surely worked out, though we are not able to comprehend them. As he hath declared to his servants the prophets; literally, as he evangelized his servants the prophets; or, as in the Revised Version, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets. Thus Amos 3:7, "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." The promise of the complete fulfilment of the mystery of God is good news indeed for the fainting Christian, for it tells of the end of his trials and the overthrow of his enemies.
