A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
But--connected with Rev 10:6. "There shall be no longer time (that is, delay), but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to (so the Greek) sound his trumpet (so the Greek), then (literally, 'also'; which conjunction often introduces the consequent member of a sentence) the mystery of God is finished," literally, "has been finished"; the prophet regarding the future as certain as if it were past. A, C, Aleph, and Coptic read the past tense (Greek, "etelesthee"). B reads, as English Version, the future tense (Greek, "telesthee"). "should be finished" (compare Rev 11:15-18). Sweet consolation to the waiting saints! The seventh trumpet shall be sounded without further delay.

the mystery of God--the theme of the "little book," and so of the remainder of the Apocalypse. What a grand contrast to the "mystery of iniquity Babylon!" The mystery of God's scheme of redemption, once hidden in God's secret counsel and dimly shadowed forth in types and prophecies, but now more and more clearly revealed according as the Gospel kingdom develops itself, up to its fullest consummation at the end. Then finally His servants shall praise Him most fully, for the glorious consummation of the mystery in having taken to Himself and His saints the kingdom so long usurped by Satan and the ungodly. Thus this verse is an anticipation of Rev 11:15-18.

declared to--Greek, "declared the glad tidings to." "The mystery of God" is the Gospel glad tidings. The office of the prophets is to receive the glad tidings from God, in order to declare them to others. The final consummation is the great theme of the Gospel announced to, and by, the prophets (compare Gal 3:8).

18 And [2532] the nations [1484] were angry [3710], and [2532] thy [4675] wrath [3709] is come [2064], and [2532] the time [2540] of the dead [3498], that they should be judged [2919], and [2532] that thou shouldest give [1325] reward [3408] unto thy [4675] servants [1401] the prophets [4396], and [2532] to the saints [40], and [2532] them that fear [5399] thy [4675] name [3686], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173]; and [2532] shouldest destroy [1311] them which destroy [1311] the earth [1093].
15 And [2532] the seventh [1442] angel [32] sounded [4537]; and [2532] there were [1096] great [3173] voices [5456] in [1722] heaven [3772], saying [3004], The kingdoms [932] of this world [2889] are become [1096] the kingdoms of our [2257] Lord [2962], and [2532] of his [846] Christ [5547]; and [2532] he shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
16 And [2532] the four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] elders [4245], which [3588] sat [2521] before [1799] God [2316] on [1909] their [846] seats [2362], fell [4098] upon [1909] their [846] faces [4383], and [2532] worshipped [4352] God [2316],
17 Saying [3004], We give [2168] thee [4671] thanks [2168], O Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841], which [3588] art [5607] [3801], and [2532] wast [2258] [3801], and [2532] art to come [2064] [3801]; because [3754] thou hast taken to thee [2983] thy [4675] great [3173] power [1411], and [2532] hast reigned [936].
18 And [2532] the nations [1484] were angry [3710], and [2532] thy [4675] wrath [3709] is come [2064], and [2532] the time [2540] of the dead [3498], that they should be judged [2919], and [2532] that thou shouldest give [1325] reward [3408] unto thy [4675] servants [1401] the prophets [4396], and [2532] to the saints [40], and [2532] them that fear [5399] thy [4675] name [3686], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173]; and [2532] shouldest destroy [1311] them which destroy [1311] the earth [1093].
6 And [2532] sware [3660] by [1722] him that liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165], who [3739] created [2936] heaven [3772], and [2532] the things that therein are [1722] [846], and [2532] the earth [1093], and [2532] the things that therein are [1722] [846], and [2532] the sea [2281], and [2532] the things which are therein [1722] [846], that [3754] there should be [2071] time [5550] no [3756] longer [2089]:
19 And [2532] the temple [3485] of God [2316] was opened [455] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] there was seen [3700] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485] the ark [2787] of his [846] testament [1242]: and [2532] there were [1096] lightnings [796], and [2532] voices [5456], and [2532] thunderings [1027], and [2532] an earthquake [4578], and [2532] great [3173] hail [5464].

19 And [2532] the temple [3485] of God [2316] was opened [455] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] there was seen [3700] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485] the ark [2787] of his [846] testament [1242]: and [2532] there were [1096] lightnings [796], and [2532] voices [5456], and [2532] thunderings [1027], and [2532] an earthquake [4578], and [2532] great [3173] hail [5464].
15 And [2532] the seventh [1442] angel [32] sounded [4537]; and [2532] there were [1096] great [3173] voices [5456] in [1722] heaven [3772], saying [3004], The kingdoms [932] of this world [2889] are become [1096] the kingdoms of our [2257] Lord [2962], and [2532] of his [846] Christ [5547]; and [2532] he shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
16 And [2532] the four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] elders [4245], which [3588] sat [2521] before [1799] God [2316] on [1909] their [846] seats [2362], fell [4098] upon [1909] their [846] faces [4383], and [2532] worshipped [4352] God [2316],
17 Saying [3004], We give [2168] thee [4671] thanks [2168], O Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841], which [3588] art [5607] [3801], and [2532] wast [2258] [3801], and [2532] art to come [2064] [3801]; because [3754] thou hast taken to thee [2983] thy [4675] great [3173] power [1411], and [2532] hast reigned [936].
18 And [2532] the nations [1484] were angry [3710], and [2532] thy [4675] wrath [3709] is come [2064], and [2532] the time [2540] of the dead [3498], that they should be judged [2919], and [2532] that thou shouldest give [1325] reward [3408] unto thy [4675] servants [1401] the prophets [4396], and [2532] to the saints [40], and [2532] them that fear [5399] thy [4675] name [3686], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173]; and [2532] shouldest destroy [1311] them which destroy [1311] the earth [1093].
1 And [2532] I saw [1492] an angel [32] come down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], having [2192] the key [2807] of the bottomless pit [12] and [2532] a great [3173] chain [254] in [1909] his [846] hand [5495].
2 And [2532] he laid hold on [2902] the dragon [1404], that old [744] serpent [3789], which [3739] is [2076] the Devil [1228], and [2532] Satan [4567], and [2532] bound [1210] him [846] a thousand [5507] years [2094],
3 And [2532] cast [906] him [846] into [1519] the bottomless pit [12], and [2532] shut [2808] him [846] up [2808], and [2532] set a seal [4972] upon [1883] him [846], that [3363] he should deceive [4105] the nations [1484] no [3363] more [2089], till [891] the thousand [5507] years [2094] should be fulfilled [5055]: and [2532] after [3326] that [5023] he [846] must [1163] be loosed [3089] a little [3398] season [5550].
4 And [2532] I saw [1492] thrones [2362], and [2532] they sat [2523] upon [1909] them [846], and [2532] judgment [2917] was given [1325] unto them [846]: and [2532] I saw the souls [5590] of them that were beheaded [3990] for [1223] the witness [3141] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] which [3748] had [4352] not [3756] worshipped [4352] the beast [2342], neither [3777] his [846] image [1504], [2532] neither [3756] had received [2983] his mark [5480] upon [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359], or [2532] in [1909] their [846] hands [5495]; and [2532] they lived [2198] and [2532] reigned [936] with [3326] Christ [5547] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
5 But [1161] the rest [3062] of the dead [3498] lived [326] not [3756] again [326] until [2193] the thousand [5507] years [2094] were finished [5055]. This [3778] is the first [4413] resurrection [386].
6 Blessed [3107] and [2532] holy [40] is he that hath [2192] part [3313] in [1722] the first [4413] resurrection [386]: on [1909] such [5130] the second [1208] death [2288] hath [2192] no [3756] power [1849], but [235] they shall be [2071] priests [2409] of God [2316] and [2532] of Christ [5547], and [2532] shall reign [936] with [3326] him [846] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
7 And [2532] when [3752] the thousand [5507] years [2094] are expired [5055], Satan [4567] shall be loosed [3089] out of [1537] his [846] prison [5438],
8 And [2532] shall go out [1831] to deceive [4105] the nations [1484] which [3588] are in [1722] the four [5064] quarters [1137] of the earth [1093], Gog [1136] and [2532] Magog [3098], to gather [4863] them [846] together [4863] to [1519] battle [4171]: the number [706] of whom [3739] is as [5613] the sand [285] of the sea [2281].
9 And [2532] they went up [305] on [1909] the breadth [4114] of the earth [1093], and [2532] compassed [2944] the camp [3925] of the saints [40] about [2944], and [2532] the beloved [25] city [4172]: and [2532] fire [4442] came down [2597] from [575] God [2316] out of [1537] heaven [3772], and [2532] devoured [2719] them [846].
10 And [2532] the devil [1228] that deceived [4105] them [846] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303], where [3699] the beast [2342] and [2532] the false prophet [5578] are, and [2532] shall be tormented [928] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
11 And [2532] I saw [1492] a great [3173] white [3022] throne [2362], and [2532] him that sat [2521] on [1909] it [846], from [575] whose [3739] face [4383] the earth [1093] and [2532] the heaven [3772] fled away [5343]; and [2532] there was found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] for them [846].
12 And [2532] I saw [1492] the dead [3498], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], stand [2476] before [1799] God [2316]; and [2532] the books [975] were opened [455]: and [2532] another [243] book [975] was opened [455], which [3739] is [2076] the book of life [2222]: and [2532] the dead [3498] were judged [2919] out of [1537] those things which were written [1125] in [1722] the books [975], according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
13 And [2532] the sea [2281] gave up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] it [846]; and [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] delivered up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] them [846]: and [2532] they were judged [2919] every man [1538] according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
14 And [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] were cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442]. This [3778] is [2076] the second [1208] death [2288].
15 And [2532] whosoever [1536] was [2147] not [3756] found [2147] written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of life [2222] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442].
19 And [2532] the temple [3485] of God [2316] was opened [455] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] there was seen [3700] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485] the ark [2787] of his [846] testament [1242]: and [2532] there were [1096] lightnings [796], and [2532] voices [5456], and [2532] thunderings [1027], and [2532] an earthquake [4578], and [2532] great [3173] hail [5464].
15 And [2532] the seventh [1442] angel [32] sounded [4537]; and [2532] there were [1096] great [3173] voices [5456] in [1722] heaven [3772], saying [3004], The kingdoms [932] of this world [2889] are become [1096] the kingdoms of our [2257] Lord [2962], and [2532] of his [846] Christ [5547]; and [2532] he shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
16 And [2532] the four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] elders [4245], which [3588] sat [2521] before [1799] God [2316] on [1909] their [846] seats [2362], fell [4098] upon [1909] their [846] faces [4383], and [2532] worshipped [4352] God [2316],
17 Saying [3004], We give [2168] thee [4671] thanks [2168], O Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841], which [3588] art [5607] [3801], and [2532] wast [2258] [3801], and [2532] art to come [2064] [3801]; because [3754] thou hast taken to thee [2983] thy [4675] great [3173] power [1411], and [2532] hast reigned [936].
18 And [2532] the nations [1484] were angry [3710], and [2532] thy [4675] wrath [3709] is come [2064], and [2532] the time [2540] of the dead [3498], that they should be judged [2919], and [2532] that thou shouldest give [1325] reward [3408] unto thy [4675] servants [1401] the prophets [4396], and [2532] to the saints [40], and [2532] them that fear [5399] thy [4675] name [3686], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173]; and [2532] shouldest destroy [1311] them which destroy [1311] the earth [1093].
15 And [2532] the seventh [1442] angel [32] sounded [4537]; and [2532] there were [1096] great [3173] voices [5456] in [1722] heaven [3772], saying [3004], The kingdoms [932] of this world [2889] are become [1096] the kingdoms of our [2257] Lord [2962], and [2532] of his [846] Christ [5547]; and [2532] he shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
9 Having made known [1107] unto us [2254] the mystery [3466] of his [846] will [2307], according to [2596] his [846] good pleasure [2107] which [3739] he hath purposed [4388] in [1722] himself [846]:
15 And [2532] the seventh [1442] angel [32] sounded [4537]; and [2532] there were [1096] great [3173] voices [5456] in [1722] heaven [3772], saying [3004], The kingdoms [932] of this world [2889] are become [1096] the kingdoms of our [2257] Lord [2962], and [2532] of his [846] Christ [5547]; and [2532] he shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
16 And [2532] the four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] elders [4245], which [3588] sat [2521] before [1799] God [2316] on [1909] their [846] seats [2362], fell [4098] upon [1909] their [846] faces [4383], and [2532] worshipped [4352] God [2316],
17 Saying [3004], We give [2168] thee [4671] thanks [2168], O Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841], which [3588] art [5607] [3801], and [2532] wast [2258] [3801], and [2532] art to come [2064] [3801]; because [3754] thou hast taken to thee [2983] thy [4675] great [3173] power [1411], and [2532] hast reigned [936].
18 And [2532] the nations [1484] were angry [3710], and [2532] thy [4675] wrath [3709] is come [2064], and [2532] the time [2540] of the dead [3498], that they should be judged [2919], and [2532] that thou shouldest give [1325] reward [3408] unto thy [4675] servants [1401] the prophets [4396], and [2532] to the saints [40], and [2532] them that fear [5399] thy [4675] name [3686], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173]; and [2532] shouldest destroy [1311] them which destroy [1311] the earth [1093].
19 And [2532] the temple [3485] of God [2316] was opened [455] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] there was seen [3700] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485] the ark [2787] of his [846] testament [1242]: and [2532] there were [1096] lightnings [796], and [2532] voices [5456], and [2532] thunderings [1027], and [2532] an earthquake [4578], and [2532] great [3173] hail [5464].
11 He answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Because [3754] it is given [1325] unto you [5213] to know [1097] the mysteries [3466] of the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772], but [1161] to them [1565] it is [1325] not [3756] given [1325].
4 Being made [1096] so much [5118] better than [2909] the angels [32], as [3745] he hath by inheritance obtained [2816] a more excellent [1313] name [3686] than [3844] they [846].
11 He answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Because [3754] it is given [1325] unto you [5213] to know [1097] the mysteries [3466] of the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772], but [1161] to them [1565] it is [1325] not [3756] given [1325].
12 Therefore [1223] [5124] rejoice [2165], ye heavens [3772], and [2532] ye that dwell [4637] in [1722] them [846]. Woe [3759] to the inhabiters [2730] of the earth [1093] and [2532] of the sea [2281]! for [3754] the devil [1228] is come down [2597] unto [4314] you [5209], having [2192] great [3173] wrath [2372], because he knoweth [1492] that [3754] he hath [2192] but a short [3641] time [2540].
17 For [1063] God [2316] hath put [1325] in [1519] their [846] hearts [2588] to fulfil [4160] his [846] will [1106], and [2532] to agree [4160] [3391] [1106], and [2532] give [1325] their [846] kingdom [932] unto the beast [2342], until [891] the words [4487] of God [2316] shall be fulfilled [5055].
