Seal Up The Seven Peals Of Thunder

Revelation 10:4

“When the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying, ‘Seal up the things which the seven peals of thunder have spoken and do not write them."’

Although John’s primary purpose in writing Revelation is to reveal (Rev.1:1), here he is commanded to omit the utterance of the seven thunders from the biblical record. John, is allowed to hear what the thunders utter, so as to not violate the principal found in Amos 3:7 but, God has chosen not to reveal their message to us.

It is ultimately fruitless for us to speculate as to what was omitted, as it will not be known until it comes to pass. Therefore, we would do well to remember the words of Moses: “The secret things belong to the LORD our God” (Deu. 29:29).

The Truth

“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter..” (Proverbs 25:2a)
